Revolving Loans.

 

(i)                
Revolving Loans and Borrowings. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally
agrees to make loans to Borrowers from time to time as set forth herein (each a “Revolving Loan”, and collectively,
“Revolving Loans”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of Revolving Loans requested
by Borrowers hereunder, provided, however, that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loan Outstandings shall
not exceed the Revolving Loan Limit. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a Notice of Borrowing with respect to each proposed Revolving
Loan Borrowing, such Notice of Borrowing to be delivered before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) two (2) Business Days prior to the
date of such proposed borrowing. Each Borrower and each Revolving Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make Revolving Loans on behalf
of Revolving Lenders, at any time in its sole discretion, (A) as provided in Section 2.5(c),
with respect to obligations arising under Support Agreements and/or Lender Letters of Credit, and (B) to pay principal
owing in respect of the Loans and interest, fees, expenses and other charges payable by any Credit Party from time to time arising
under this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by Agent based on the most recent
Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such other information as may be available
to Agent. Without limiting any other rights and remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, the Revolving
Loans shall be subject to Agent’s continuing right to withhold from the Borrowing Base reserves, and to increase and decrease
such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Agent’s good faith credit judgment and discretion, such reserves
are necessary.

 

(ii)              
Mandatory Revolving Loan Repayments and Prepayments.

 

(A)            
The Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date. On such Termination Date, there shall become due,
and Borrowers shall pay, the entire outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan, together with accrued and unpaid Obligations
pertaining thereto incurred to, but excluding the Termination Date; provided, however, that such payment is made not later
than 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on the Termination Date.

 

 

 

 

    	 	23	 

     

    

 

(B)             
If at any time the Revolving Loan Outstandings exceed the Revolving Loan Limit, then, on the next succeeding Business Day,
Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Loans or cash collateralize Letter of Credit Liabilities
in the manner specified in Section 2.5(e) or cause the cancellation of outstanding Letters of Credit, or any combination of
the foregoing, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

(C)             
Principal payable on account of Revolving Loans shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent (I) immediately upon the receipt
by any Borrower or Agent of any payments on or proceeds from any of the Accounts, to the extent of such payments or proceeds, as
further described in Section 2.11 below, and (II) in full on the Termination Date.

 

(iii)             
Optional Prepayments. Borrowers may from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part; provided,
however, that any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $25,000.

 

(iv)             
LIBOR Rate.

 

(A)            
Except as provided in subsection (C) below, Revolving Loans shall accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.

 

(B)             
The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional
or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to
changes in applicable Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in
tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase
the cost of funding loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (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) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case
be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. In any such event,
the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit
the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such
affected Lender (I) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR
Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (II) repay the Loans bearing interest based upon the
LIBOR Rate with respect to which such adjustment is made.

 

(C)             
In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or
in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender,
make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate or to continue
such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such
changed circumstances to Agent and Borrowers and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (I) in
the case of any outstanding Loans of such Lender bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate, the date specified in such Lender’s
notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such Loans, and interest upon such Lender’s Loans thereafter
shall accrue interest at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (II)  such Loans shall continue to accrue interest
at Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical
to maintain such Loans at the LIBOR Rate.

 

 

 

 

    	 	24	 

     

    

 

(D)            
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender is required actually to acquire
eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate.

 

(c)               
Additional Tranches. After the Closing Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and subject to the
terms of this Agreement, with the prior written consent of Agent and all Lenders in their sole discretion, the Revolving Loan Commitment
may be increased upon the written request of Borrower Representative (which such request shall state the aggregate amount of the
Additional Tranche requested and shall be made at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of such Additional
Tranche) to Agent to activate an Additional Tranche; provided, however, that Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation
to consent to any requested activation of an Additional Tranche and the written consent of Agent and all Lenders shall be required
in order to activate an Additional Tranche. Upon activating an Additional Tranche, each Lender’s Commitment shall increase
by a proportionate amount so as to maintain the same Pro Rata Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment as such Lender held immediately
prior to such activation. In the event Agent and all Lenders do not consent to the activation of a requested Additional Tranche
within thirty (30) days after receiving a written request from Borrower Representative, then the Revolving Loan Commitment shall
not be increased and, within the next ninety (90) days, Borrowers may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Agent and,
if the Borrowing Base on the date of such request would have supported such increased Revolving Loan Commitment, upon repayment
in full of all Obligations, no fee shall be due pursuant to Section 2.2(f) in connection with such termination.

 

Section
2.2                       
Interest, Interest Calculations and Certain Fees.

 

(a)               
Interest. From and following the Closing Date, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Loans and the other
Obligations shall bear interest at the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Interest on the Loans shall be
paid in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest
on all other Obligations shall be payable upon demand. For purposes of calculating interest, all funds transferred to the Payment
Account for application to any Revolving Loans shall be subject to a three (3) Business Day clearance period and all interest accruing
on such funds during such clearance period shall accrue for the benefit of Agent, and not for the benefit of the Lenders.

 

(b)              
Unused Line Fee. From and following the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders committed
to make Revolving Loans, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee in an amount equal to (i) (A) the
Revolving Loan Commitment minus (B) the average daily balance of the sum of the Revolving Loan Outstandings during
the preceding month, multiplied by (ii) 0.50% per annum. Such fee is to be paid monthly in arrears on the first day of each
month.

 

(c)               
Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay to Agent all amounts as set forth in the Fee Letter, at the times specified therein.

(f)               
Deferred Revolving Loan Origination Fee. If Lenders’ funding obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment
under this Agreement terminate for any reason (whether by voluntary termination by Borrowers, by reason of the occurrence of an
Event of Default or otherwise) prior to the Commitment Expiry Date, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders
committed to make Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, a fee as compensation for the costs of such Lenders being prepared to make
funds available to Borrowers under this Agreement, equal to an amount determined by multiplying the Revolving Loan Commitment
by the following applicable percentage amount: 2.00% for the first year following the Closing Date, 0.50% for the second
year following the Closing Date, and 0.50% thereafter. All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid on the date of
termination of such Revolving Loan Commitment, and be deemed fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that a sale of all or substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets and/or a Change in Control transaction
causes such termination, the above referenced fees shall be 1.00% for the first year following the Closing Date and 0% thereafter.

(i)                
Audit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, all reasonable
fees and expenses in connection with audits and inspections of Borrowers’ books and records, audits, valuations or appraisals
of the Collateral, audits of Borrowers’ compliance with applicable Laws and such other matters as Agent shall deem appropriate,
which shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance by Agent of a written request
for payment thereof to Borrowers.

 

(j)                
Wire Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, on written
demand, fees for incoming and outgoing wires made for the account of Borrowers, such fees to be based on Agent’s then current
wire fee schedule (available upon written request of the Borrowers).

 

(k)              
Late Charges. If payments of principal (other than a final installment of principal upon the Termination Date), interest
due on the Obligations, or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents are not timely made and remain
overdue for a period of five (5) days, Borrowers, without notice or demand by Agent, promptly shall pay to Agent, for its own account
and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, as additional compensation to Agent in administering the Obligations, an amount equal
to five percent (5.0%) of each delinquent payment.

 

(l)                
Computation of Interest and Related Fees. All interest and fees under each Financing Document shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding of a Loan shall be included in the calculation
of interest. The date of payment of a Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same
day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be charged.

 

(m)             
Automated Clearing House Payments. If Agent so elects, monthly payments of principal, interest, fees, expenses or
any other amounts due and owing from Borrower to Agent hereunder shall be paid to Agent by Automated Clearing House debit of immediately
available funds from the financial institution account designated by Borrower Representative in the Automated Clearing House debit
authorization executed by Borrowers or Borrower Representative in connection with this Agreement, and shall be effective upon receipt.
Borrowers shall execute any and all forms and documentation necessary from time to time to effectuate such automatic debiting.
In no event shall any such payments be refunded to Borrowers.

2.3                       
Notes. The portion of the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced, if so requested by such Lender,
by one or more promissory notes executed by Borrowers on a joint and several basis (each, a “Note”) in an original
principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Upon activation of an Additional Tranche in accordance
with Section 2.1(c) hereof, Borrowers shall deliver to each Lender to whom Borrowers previously delivered a Note, a restated
Note evidencing such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

Section
2.5                       
Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Fees.

 

(a)               
Letter of Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Loan Commitment may
be used by Borrowers, in addition to the making of Revolving Loans hereunder, for the issuance, prior to that date which is one
year prior to the Termination Date, by (i) Agent, of letters of credit, Guarantees or other agreements or arrangements (each,
a “Support Agreement”) to induce an LC Issuer to issue or increase the amount of, or extend the expiry date of, one
or more Letters of Credit and (ii) a Lender, identified by Agent, as an LC Issuer, of one or more Lender Letters of Credit,
so long as, in each case:

 

(i)               
Agent shall have received a Notice of LC Credit Event at least five (5) Business Days before the relevant date of issuance,
increase or extension; and

 

(ii)              
after giving effect to such issuance, increase or extension, (A) the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities do not
exceed $0, and (B) the Revolving Loan Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Loan Limit.

 

Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to obligate any Lender to issue, increase the amount of or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, which
act or acts, if any, shall be subject to agreements to be entered into from time to time between Borrowers and such Lender. Each
Lender that is an LC Issuer hereby agrees to give Agent prompt written notice of each issuance of a Lender Letter of Credit by
such Lender and each payment made by such Lender in respect of Lender Letters of Credit issued by such Lender.

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, Borrowers agree and acknowledge that no part of the Revolving Loan Commitment will be available
for the issuance of a Letter of Credit until such times as Agent notifies Borrower Representative that a Lender party to this Agreement
is an LC Issuer.

 

(b)              
Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares, a letter of credit fee with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities for each Letter of Credit,
computed for each day from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the date that is the last day a drawing is available
under such Letter of Credit, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Loans bearing interest based
upon the LIBOR Rate. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month prior to the Termination Date
and on such date. In addition, Borrowers agree to pay promptly to the LC Issuer any fronting or other fees that it may charge in
connection with any Letter of Credit.

 

 

 

 

    	 	27	 

     

    

 

(c)              
Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers. If either (i) Agent shall make a payment to an LC Issuer pursuant to
a Support Agreement, or (ii) any Lender shall notify Agent that it has made payment in respect of, a Lender Letter of Credit,
(A) the applicable Borrower shall reimburse Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for the amount of such payment by the end
of the day on which Agent or such Lender shall make such payment and (B) Borrowers shall be deemed to have immediately requested
that Revolving Lenders make a Revolving Loan, in a principal amount equal to the amount of such payment (but solely to the extent
such Borrower shall have failed to directly reimburse Agent or, with respect to Lender Letters of Credit, the applicable LC Issuer,
for the amount of such payment). Agent shall promptly notify Revolving Lenders of any such deemed request and each Revolving Lender
hereby agrees to make available to Agent not later than noon (Eastern time) on the Business Day following such notification from
Agent such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to fund such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan described in the immediately preceding sentence, unaffected
by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (x) the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, (y) the fact that, whether before or after giving effect to the making of any such Revolving Loan, the Revolving
Loan Outstandings exceed or will exceed the Revolving Loan Limit, and/or (z) the non-satisfaction of any conditions set forth
in Section 7.2. Agent hereby agrees to apply the gross proceeds of each Revolving Loan deemed made pursuant to this Section 2.5(c)
in satisfaction of Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations arising pursuant to this Section 2.5(c). Borrowers shall pay
interest, on demand, on all amounts so paid by Agent pursuant to any Support Agreement or to any applicable Lender in honoring
a draw request under any Lender Letter of Credit for each day from the date of such payment until Borrowers reimburse Agent or
the applicable Lender therefor (whether pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this subsection (c)) at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) plus the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans for such day.

 

(d)             
Reimbursement and Other Payments by Borrowers. The obligations of each Borrower to reimburse Agent and/or the applicable
LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following:

 

(i)                
any lack of validity or enforceability of, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from, any Letter of
Credit or any related document;

 

(ii)               
the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary
of any Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer (including any claim for improper payment), Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether
in connection with any Financing Document or any unrelated transaction, provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

 

(iii)             
any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

 

(iv)             
any affiliation between the LC Issuer and Agent; or

 

(v)              
to the extent permitted under applicable law, any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.

 

(e)               
Deposit Obligations of Borrowers. In the event any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that Borrowers prepay
in full or are required to repay the Obligations or the Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated, Borrowers shall (i) deposit
with Agent for the benefit of all Revolving Lenders cash in an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate
outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities to be available to Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of issuers of Letters of Credit,
to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any fees and expenses related thereto, and (ii) prepay
the fee payable under Section 2.5(b) with respect to such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of
Credit assuming that the full amount of such Letters of Credit as of the date of such repayment or termination remain outstanding
until the end of such remaining terms. Upon termination of any such Letter of Credit and so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the unearned portion of such prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to Borrowers,
together with the deposit described in the preceding clause (i) attributable to such Letter of Credit, but only to the extent
not previously applied by Agent in the manner described herein.

(f)               
Participations in Support Agreements and Lender Letters of Credit.

 

(i)               
Concurrently with the issuance of each Supported Letter of Credit, Agent shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to
each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and immediately to have purchased and received
from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share, Agent’s Support Agreement liabilities and obligations in respect of such Supported Letter of Credit and Borrowers’
Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto. Concurrently with the issuance of each Lender Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer in
respect thereof shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender shall be
deemed irrevocably and immediately to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, such Lender Letter of Credit and Borrowers’
Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto. Any purchase obligation arising pursuant to the immediately two preceding sentences
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever.

 

(ii)               
If either (A) Agent makes any payment or disbursement under any Support Agreement and/or (B) an LC Issuer makes
any payment or disbursement under any Lender Letter of Credit, and (I) Borrowers have not reimbursed Agent or the applicable
LC Issuer, as applicable, in full for such payment or disbursement in accordance with Section 2.5(c), or (II) any reimbursement
under any Support Agreement or Lender Letter of Credit received by Agent or any LC Issuer, as applicable, from any Credit Party
is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, each Revolving
Lender shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay to Agent or the applicable LC Issuer, as applicable, its Pro Rata
Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the Obligations of Borrowers under Section 2.5(c)).
To the extent any such Revolving Lender shall not have made such amount available to Agent or the applicable LC Issuer, as applicable,
before 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from Agent or the applicable LC Issuer,
as applicable, of such payment or disbursement, or return or rescission, as applicable, such Lender agrees to pay interest on such
amount to Agent or the applicable LC Issuer, as applicable, forthwith on demand accruing daily at the Federal Funds Rate, for the
first three (3) days following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin in respect of Revolving Loans. Any such Revolving Lender’s failure to make available to Agent or the applicable LC
Issuer, as applicable, its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement, or return or rescission, as applicable, shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such
payment, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement, or return or rescission.

 

Section
2.6                       
General Provisions Regarding Payment; Loan Account.

 

(a)               
All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made
hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without
set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall
be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating
financial covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any
such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension
thereto). Any payments received in the Payment Account before 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by
Agent on such date, and any payments received in the Payment Account at or after 12:00 Noon (Eastern time) on any date shall be
deemed received by Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

 

 

 

    	 	29	 

     

    

 

(b)             
Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record Loans and other extensions
of credit made by the Lenders hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon made by each Borrower.
All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from
time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Agent’s books and records at any time shall be conclusive and
binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent by each Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however,
that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay
all amounts owing hereunder or under any other Financing Document. Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrowers with a monthly statement
regarding the Loan Account (but neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Agent shall fail to provide any such statement).
Unless any Borrower notifies Agent of any objection to any such statement (specifically describing the basis for such objection)
within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all
respects as to all matters reflected therein.

 

Section
2.7                      
Maximum Interest. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations
of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of Maryland or of
any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest
payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest
rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long
as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided,
however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, each Borrower shall, to the
extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is
equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the
interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would
exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received
by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof
at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the
Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts
(other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof
remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any
Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days
in the year in which such calculation is made.

 

Section
2.8                       
Taxes; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)               
All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise
taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest
and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s
net income by the jurisdictions under which Agent or such Lender is organized or conducts business (other than solely as the result
of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).
If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant
to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such
payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Agent for the account of Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as
is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Agent and such
Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Agent
or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and
Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that
the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal
the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the
day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Agent or such Lender first made written demand therefor.

 

 

 

    	 	30	 

     

    

 

(b)              
If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the
account of Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify
Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of
any such failure.

 

(c)               
Each Lender that (i) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, and (ii)(A) is
a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) purports to become an assignee of an interest as a Lender under this Agreement after
the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “Foreign
Lender”) shall execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Agent one or more (as Borrowers or Agent may reasonably request)
United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or
documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Agent certifying as to such Lender’s
entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts
to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 with respect to United States withholding and income Taxes to the extent that the
obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph
other than as a result of a change in law.

 

(d)              
If any Lender shall determine in its commercially reasonable judgment that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change
in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date
in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such
Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence
of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any Support Agreement or Lender Letter
of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption,
taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon written demand by such
Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount
thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional
amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or
after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (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) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant
to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued.

 

 

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

 

(e)               
If any Lender requires compensation under Section 2.8(d), or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), then, upon the written
request of Borrower Representative, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such subsection, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined
in its sole discretion). Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

 

Section
2.9                       
Appointment of Borrower Representative.

 

(a)              
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request
and receive Loans in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, deliver Notices of Borrowing, Notices of LC
Credit Events and Borrowing Base Certificates, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans,
requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Financing
Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Borrower
or Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank
account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, and LC Issuer may provide such Letters
of Credit for the account of a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any
other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require
that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

 

(b)              
Borrower Representative hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers
pursuant to this Section 2.9. Borrower Representative shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans that are at any time requested
by or to be remitted to or for the account of a Borrower, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit requested on behalf of a Borrower
hereunder, shall be remitted or issued to or for the account of such Borrower.

 

(c)              
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on
account and all other notices from Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection
with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

 

(d)              
Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking made or delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower
by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or delivered by such Borrower, as the case may be,
and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made or delivered directly by such Borrower.

 

 

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

 

(e)               
No resignation by or termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact as aforesaid
shall be effective, except after ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent. If the Borrower Representative resigns
under this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint a successor Borrower Representative (which shall be a Borrower and
shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent as such successor). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Borrower Representative
hereunder, such successor Borrower Representative shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Borrower Representative
and the term “Borrower Representative” shall mean such successor Borrower Representative for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents, and the retiring or terminated Borrower Representative’s appointment, powers and duties
as Borrower Representative shall be thereupon terminated.

 

Section
2.10                     
Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution; Subordination and Subrogation.

 

(a)               
Borrowers are defined collectively to include all Persons named as one of the Borrowers herein; provided, however,
that any references herein to “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed
as a reference to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein. Each Person so named shall be jointly and severally
liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees
and acknowledges, that the credit facilities would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit
of all of the Persons named as the Borrowers herein, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization
of the collateral of all such Persons. Accordingly, each Borrower individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons
named as one of the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the credit facilities
actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower. In addition, each entity named
as one of the Borrowers herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations,
conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured
and enforceable individually against each Person named as one of the Borrowers herein as well as all such Persons when taken together.
By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 10.1 of this Agreement
are to be applied to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole),
such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.1 of this Agreement as to any Person named as one of
the Borrowers herein shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons named as
the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole.

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the
liability of each Borrower for the Obligations and the Liens granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations, not constitute a Fraudulent
Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, Agent, Lenders and each Borrower agree that if the liability of a Borrower for the
Obligations, or any Liens granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute
a Fraudulent Conveyance, the liability of such Borrower and the Liens securing such liability shall be valid and enforceable only
to the maximum extent that would not cause such liability or such Lien to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the liability
of such Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, the term
“Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II
of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance
or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

 

 

 

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

(c)               
Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically required under this Agreement) and
without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, at any time and from time to time, to (i) renew, extend or otherwise
increase the time for payment of the Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower, change the terms relating
to the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any Note or other agreement, document or instrument now or
hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to Agent for any Lender; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations;
(iv) take and hold any Collateral for the payment of the Obligations or for the payment of any guaranties of the Obligations
and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such Collateral; (v) apply any such Collateral and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof as Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (vi) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise
liquidate the Obligations and any Collateral therefor in any manner, all guarantor and surety defenses being hereby waived by each
Borrower. Without limitations of the foregoing, with respect to the Obligations, each Borrower hereby makes and adopts each of
the agreements and waivers set forth in each Guarantee, the same being incorporated hereby by reference. Except as specifically
provided in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time
and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any Borrower or any other source, and such determination
shall be binding on all Borrowers. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to
any of the Obligations that Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, without affecting the validity or enforceability of
the Obligations of the other Borrowers.

 

(d)              
Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective
of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the
waiver or consent by Agent with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or
any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Agent; (iii) failure by Agent to
take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the
Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a
Borrower or Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Agent’s claim(s)
for repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

 

(e)               
The Borrowers hereby agree, as between themselves, that to the extent that Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have received
from any Borrower any Recovery Amount (as defined below), then the paying Borrower shall have a right of contribution against each
other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s contributive share of such Recovery Amount; provided, however,
that in the event any Borrower suffers a Deficiency Amount (as defined below), then the Borrower suffering the Deficiency Amount
shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrowers in an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount;
and provided, further, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts so reimbursed by reason of the contribution of any Borrower
equal or exceed an amount that would, if paid, constitute or result in a Fraudulent Conveyance. Until all Obligations have been
paid and satisfied in full, no payment made by or for the account of a Borrower including, without limitation, (i) a payment
made by such Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower, or (ii) a payment made by any other Guarantor under
any Guarantee, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out
of such other Borrower’s property. The right of each Borrower to receive any contribution under this Section 2.10(e)
or by subrogation or otherwise from any other Borrower shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations and such Borrower
shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance
of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied
in full, and no Borrower shall exercise any right or remedy with respect to this Section 2.10(e) until the Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full. As used in this Section 2.10(e), the term “Recovery Amount”
means the amount of proceeds received by or credited to Agent from the exercise of any remedy of the Lenders under this Agreement
or the other Financing Documents, including, without limitation, the sale of any Collateral. As used in this Section 2.10(e),
the term “Deficiency Amount” means any amount that is less than the entire amount a Borrower is entitled to
receive by way of contribution or subrogation from, but that has not been paid by, the other Borrowers in respect of any Recovery
Amount attributable to the Borrower entitled to contribution, until the Deficiency Amount has been reduced to $0 through contributions
and reimbursements made under the terms of this Section 2.10(e) or otherwise.

Section
2.11                    
Collections and Lockbox Account.

 

(a)               
Borrowers shall maintain a lockbox (the “Lockbox”) with a United States depository institution designated
from time to time by Agent (the “Lockbox Bank”), subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall execute
with the Lockbox Bank a Deposit Account Control Agreement and such other agreements related to such Lockbox as Agent may require.
Borrowers shall ensure that all collections of Accounts (other than Accounts for which the Account Debtor is a Governmental Account
Debtor) are paid directly from Account Debtors (i) into the Lockbox for deposit into the Lockbox Account and/or (ii) directly
into the Lockbox Account; provided, however, unless Agent shall otherwise direct by written notice to Borrowers, Borrowers
shall be permitted to cause Account Debtors who are individuals to pay Accounts directly to Borrowers, which Borrowers shall then
administer and apply in the manner required below. All funds deposited into a Lockbox Account shall be transferred into the Payment
Account by the close of each Business Day.

 

(b)               
[Reserved]

 

(c)               
Notwithstanding anything in any lockbox agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement to the contrary, Borrowers agree
that they shall be liable for any fees and charges in effect from time to time and charged by the Lockbox Bank in connection with
the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account, and that Agent shall have no liability therefor. Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to hold
Agent harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, losses and demands whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses, arising from or relating to actions of Agent or the Lockbox Bank pursuant to this Section or any lockbox agreement
or Deposit Account Control Agreement or similar agreement, except to the extent of such losses arising solely from Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(d)              
Agent shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Payment Account pursuant to this Section to reduce the
outstanding Revolving Loans in such order of application as Agent shall elect. If as the result of collections of Accounts pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Section, a credit balance exists with respect to the Loan Account, such credit balance shall
not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but Agent shall transfer such funds into an account designated by Borrower Representative
for so long as no Event of Default exists.

 

(e)              
To the extent that any collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral are not sent directly to the Lockbox or Lockbox
Account but are received by any Borrower, such collections shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent pursuant to an express
trust created hereby and immediately remitted, in the form received, to the applicable Lockbox or Lockbox Account. No such funds
received by any Borrower shall be commingled with other funds of the Borrowers. If any funds received by any Borrower are commingled
with other funds of the Borrowers, or are required to be deposited to a Lockbox or Lockbox Account and are not so deposited within
two (2) Business Days, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, a compliance
fee equal to $500 for each day that any such conditions exist.

 

 

 

 

    	 	35	 

     

    

 

(f)               
Borrowers acknowledge and agree that compliance with the terms of this Section is essential, and that Agent and Lenders
will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and have no adequate remedy at law, if any Borrower, through acts or omissions, causes
or permits Account Debtors to send payments other than to the Lockbox or Lockbox Accounts or if any Borrower fails to promptly
deposit collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral in the Lockbox Account as herein required. Accordingly, in addition
to all other rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, Agent shall have the right to seek specific performance of the
Borrowers’ obligations under this Section, and any other equitable relief as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate, and
Borrowers waive any requirement for the posting of a bond in connection with such equitable relief.

 

(g)              
Borrowers shall not, and Borrowers shall not suffer or permit any Credit Party to, (i) withdraw any amounts from any
Lockbox Account, (ii) change the procedures or sweep instructions under the agreements governing any Lockbox Accounts, or
(iii) send to or deposit in any Lockbox Account any funds other than payments made with respect to and proceeds of Accounts
or other Collateral. Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to, cooperate with Agent in the identification and reconciliation
on a daily basis of all amounts received in or required to be deposited into the Lockbox Accounts. If more than five percent (5%)
of the collections of Accounts received by Borrowers during any given fifteen (15) day period is not identified or reconciled to
the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, Agent shall not be obligated to make further advances
under this Agreement until such amount is identified or is reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent, as the case may
be. In addition, if any such amount cannot be identified or reconciled to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent, Agent may utilize
its own staff or, if it deems necessary, engage an outside auditor, in either case at Borrowers’ expense (which in the case
of Agent’s own staff shall be in accordance with Agent’s then prevailing customary charges (plus expenses)),
to make such examination and report as may be necessary to identify and reconcile such amount.

 

(h)              
If any Borrower breaches its obligation to direct payments of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Lockbox Account, Agent,
as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for Borrowers, may, by the signature or other act of
any of Agent’s authorized representatives (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any Account Debtor to pay proceeds
of the Collateral to Borrowers by directing payment to the Lockbox Account.

 

Section
2.12                    
Termination; Restriction on Termination.

 

(a)               
Termination by Lenders. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 10.2, Agent may, and at the direction
of Required Lenders shall, terminate this Agreement without notice upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default.

 

(b)              
Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Agent and Lenders, Borrowers
may, at their option, terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective until Borrowers
have (i) paid or collateralized to Agent’s satisfaction all of the Obligations
in immediately available funds, all Letters of Credit and Support Agreements have expired, terminated or have been cash collateralized
to Agent’s satisfaction, (ii) complied with Section 2.2(f). Any notice of termination given by Borrowers
shall be irrevocable unless all Lenders otherwise agree in writing and no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Loans or
issue or procure any Letters of Credit or Support Agreements on or after the termination date stated in such notice. Borrowers
may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety only. No section of this Agreement or type of Loan available hereunder may
be terminated singly.

 

 

 

 

    	 	36	 

     

    

 

(c)               
Effectiveness of Termination. All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the Termination Date.
All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Financing Documents shall
survive any such termination and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and Agent and each Lender shall retain all of its
rights and remedies under the Financing Documents notwithstanding such termination until all Obligations have been discharged or
paid, in full, in immediately available funds, including, without limitation, all Obligations under Section 2.2(f) and the
terms of any fee letter resulting from such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the payment in full of the Obligations,
Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur
as a result of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Agent from Borrower or any Account Debtor and applied to
the Obligations, Agent shall, at its option, (i) have received a written agreement satisfactory to Agent, executed by Borrowers
and by any Person whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying
Agent and each Lender from any such loss or damage or (ii) have retained cash Collateral or other Collateral for such period
of time as Agent, in its discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agent and each Lender from any such loss or damage.

 

ARTICLE
3 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

To induce Agent and
Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and other credit accommodations contemplated hereby, each Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that:

 

Section
3.1                      
Existence and Power. Each Credit Party is an entity as specified on Schedule 3.1, is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction specified on Schedule 3.1 and no

identification number (if any), in each case as specified on Schedule 3.1, and has all powers and all Permits necessary
or desirable in the operation of its business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to
have such Permits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party is qualified to do business
as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, which jurisdictions as of the Closing Date
are specified on Schedule 3.1, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1, no Credit Party (a) has had, over the five (5)
year period preceding the Closing Date, any name other than its current name, or (b) was incorporated or organized under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than its current jurisdiction of incorporation or organization.

 

Section
3.2                      
Organization and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance
by each Credit Party of the Operative Documents to which it is a party are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary action pursuant to its Organizational Documents, require no further action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority and do not violate, conflict with or cause a breach or a default under (a) any Law applicable to any Credit Party
or any of the Organizational Documents of any Credit Party, or (b) any agreement or instrument binding upon it, except for
such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults as could not, with respect to this clause (b), reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

 

 

    	 	37	 

     

    

 

Section
3.3                     
Binding Effect. Each of the Operative Documents to which any Credit Party is a party constitutes a valid
and binding agreement or instrument of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective
terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

 

Section
3.4                      
Capitalization. The authorized equity securities of each of the Credit Parties as of the Closing Date
are as set forth on Schedule 3.4. All issued and outstanding equity securities of each of the Credit Parties are duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens other than those in favor of Agent for the
benefit of Agent and Lenders, and such equity securities were issued in compliance with all applicable Laws. The identity of the
holders of the equity securities of each of the Credit Parties and the percentage of their fully-diluted ownership of the equity
securities of each of the Credit Parties as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 3.4. No shares of the capital

Section

is a party or by which its property is bound or affected, which breach or default could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

Section
3.9

Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any Credit Party. Hours worked and payments made to the employees of the Credit

due from the Credit Parties, or for which any claim may be made against any of them, on account of wages and employee and retiree
health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on their books, as the case may be. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents will not give rise to a right of termination or right
of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

Compliance with Environmental Requirements; No Hazardous Materials. Except in each case as set forth on
Schedule 3.18:

 

(a)               
no notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order has been issued, no complaint
has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation or review is pending, or to such Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any (i) alleged violation by any Credit Party of

owned or leased by any Credit Party, to which any Credit Party has, directly or indirectly, transported or arranged for the transportation
of any Hazardous Materials, is listed or, to such Borrower’s knowledge, proposed for listing, on the National Priorities
List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, or CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or any similar state list or is the subject of federal,
state or local enforcement actions or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, other investigations which may lead to claims against
any Credit Party for clean-up costs, remedial work, damage to natural resources or personal injury claims, including, without limitation,
claims under CERCLA.

 

For purposes of this
Section 3.18, each Credit Party shall be deemed to include any business or business entity (including a corporation) that
is, in whole or in part, a predecessor of such Credit Party.

 

Section
3.19                    
Intellectual Property. Each Credit Party owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use, all
Intellectual Property that is material to the condition (financial or other), business or operations of such Credit Party. All
Intellectual Property existing as of the Closing Date which is issued, registered or pending with any United States or foreign
Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any and all applications for the registration of any Intellectual Property
with any such United States or foreign Governmental Authority) and all licenses under which any Borrower is the licensee of any
such registered Intellectual Property (or any such application for the registration of Intellectual Property) owned by another
Person are set forth on Schedule 3.19. Such Schedule 3.19 indicates in each case whether such registered
Intellectual Property (or application therefor) is owned or licensed by such Credit Party, and in the case of any such licensed
registered Intellectual Property (or application therefor), lists the name and address of the licensor and the name and date of
the agreement pursuant to which such item of Intellectual Property is licensed and whether or not such license is an exclusive
license and indicates whether there are any purported restrictions in such license on the ability to such Credit Party to grant
a security interest in and/or to transfer any of its rights as a licensee under such license. Except as indicated on Schedule 3.19,
the applicable Credit Party is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to
each such registered Intellectual Property (or application therefor) purported to be owned by such Credit Party, free and clear
of any Liens and/or licenses in favor of third parties or agreements or covenants not to sue such third parties for infringement.
All registered Intellectual Property of each Credit Party is duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office
and jurisdictions for such registrations, filings or issuances, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party is party to, nor bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect
to which any Credit Party is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts such Credit Party from granting a security interest
in such Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or other property. To such Borrower’s knowledge, each Credit
Party conducts its business without infringement or claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property rights of others and there
is no infringement or claim of infringement by others of any Intellectual Property rights of any Credit Party, which infringement
or claim of infringement could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

under the Operative Documents, each Borrower and each additional Credit Party is Solvent.

 

Section
3.21                    
Full Disclosure. None of the written information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or on behalf of
any Credit Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein
or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. All financial projections delivered
to Agent and the Lenders by Borrowers (or their agents) have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein. Such
projections represent each Borrower’s best estimate of such Borrower’s future financial performance and such assumptions
are believed by such Borrower to be fair and reasonable in light of current business conditions; provided, however,
that Borrowers can give no assurance that such projections will be attained.

 

Section
3.22                    
Interest Rate. The rate of interest paid under the Notes and the method and manner of the calculation
thereof do not violate any usury or other law or applicable Laws, any of the Organizational Documents, or any of the Operative
Documents.

 

Section
3.23                   
Subsidiaries. Borrowers do not own any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests
or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

Representations and Warranties Incorporated from Operative Documents. As of the Closing Date, each of
the representations and warranties made in the Operative Documents by each of the parties thereto is true and correct in all material
respects, and such representations and warranties are hereby incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as though set
forth in their entirety herein, as qualified therein, except to the extent that such representation or warranty relates to a specific
date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true as of such earlier date.

Payment and Performance of Obligations. Each Borrower (a) will pay and discharge, and cause each
Subsidiary to pay and discharge, on a timely basis as and when due, all of their respective obligations and liabilities, except
for such obligations and/or liabilities (i) that may be the subject of a Permitted Contest, and (ii) the nonpayment or
nondischarge of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a Lien against any Collateral,
except for Permitted Liens, (b) without limiting anything contained in the foregoing clause (a), pay all amounts due
and owing in respect of Taxes (including without limitation, payroll and withholdings tax liabilities) on a timely basis as and

(a)              
Each Borrower will keep, and will cause each Subsidiary to keep, all property useful and necessary in its business in good
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If all or any part of the Collateral useful or necessary in its business,
or upon which any Borrowing Base is calculated, becomes damaged or destroyed, each Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary
to, promptly and completely repair and/or restore the affected Collateral in a good and workmanlike manner, regardless of whether
Agent agrees to disburse insurance proceeds or other sums to pay costs of the work of repair or reconstruction.

 

(b)              
Upon completion of any Permitted Contest, Borrowers shall, and will cause each Subsidiary to, promptly pay the amount due,
if any, and deliver to Agent proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any, following which Agent
shall return the security, if any, deposited with Agent pursuant to the definition of Permitted Contest.

 

(c)               
Each Borrower will maintain (i) casualty insurance on all real and personal property on an all risks basis (including
the perils of flood, windstorm and quake), covering the repair and replacement cost of all such property and coverage, business
interruption and rent loss coverages with extended period of indemnity (for the period required by Agent from time to time) and
indemnity for extra expense, in each case without application of coinsurance and with agreed amount endorsements, (ii) general
and professional liability insurance (including products/completed operations liability coverage), and (iii) such other insurance
coverage in such amounts and with respect to such risks as Agent may request from time to time, pursuant to the Insurance Requirements
attached hereto as Schedule 4.4; provided, however, that, in no event shall such insurance be in amounts
or with coverage less than, or with carriers with qualifications inferior to, any of the insurance or carriers in existence as
of the Closing Date (or required to be in existence after the Closing Date under a Financing Document). All such insurance shall
be provided by insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders rating reasonably acceptable to Agent.

 

(d)              
On or prior to the Closing Date, and at all times thereafter, each Borrower will cause Agent to be named as an additional
insured, assignee and lender loss payee (which shall include, as applicable, identification as mortgagee), as applicable, on each
insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 4.4 pursuant to endorsements in form and substance acceptable
to Agent. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent and the Lenders (i) on the Closing Date, a certificate from Borrowers’ insurance
broker dated such date showing the amount of coverage as of such date, and that such policies will include effective waivers (whether
under the terms of any such policy or otherwise) by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against all loss payees and
additional insureds and all rights of subrogation against all loss payees and additional insureds, and that if all or any part
of such policy is canceled, terminated or expires, the insurer will forthwith give notice thereof to each additional insured, assignee
and loss payee and that no cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at
least thirty (30) days after receipt by each additional insured, assignee and loss payee of written notice thereof, (ii) on
an annual basis, and upon the request of any Lender through Agent from time to time full information as to the insurance carried,
(iii) within five (5) days of receipt of notice from any insurer, a copy of any notice of cancellation, nonrenewal or material
change in coverage from that existing on the date of this Agreement, (iv) forthwith, notice of any cancellation or nonrenewal
of coverage by any Borrower, and (v) at least 60 days prior to expiration of any policy of insurance, evidence of renewal

    	 	43	 

     

    

 

(e)              
In the event any Borrower fails to provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent
may purchase insurance at Borrowers’ expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but
need not, protect such Borrower’s interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may not pay any claim made by such Borrower
or any claim that is made against such Borrower in connection with the Collateral. Such Borrower may later cancel any insurance
purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that such Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this
Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that insurance to the
fullest extent provided by law, including interest and other charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance,
until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations.
The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance such Borrower is able to obtain on its own.

 

Section
4.5                      
Compliance with Laws and Material Contracts. Each Borrower will comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply,
with the requirements of all applicable Laws and Material Contracts, except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably
be expected to (a) have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in any Lien upon either (i) a material portion
of the assets of any such Person in favor of any Governmental Authority, or (ii) any Collateral which is part of the Borrowing
Base.

 

Section
4.6                      
Inspection of Property, Books and Records. Each Borrower will keep, and will cause each Subsidiary to
keep, proper books of record substantially in accordance with GAAP in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all
dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities; and will permit, and will cause each Subsidiary to permit,
at the sole cost of the applicable Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary, representatives of Agent and of any Lender to visit and
inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts or copies from any of their respective books and records,
to conduct a collateral audit and analysis of their respective operations and the Collateral, to verify the amount and age of the
Accounts, the identity and credit of the respective Account Debtors, to review the billing practices of Borrowers and to discuss
their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants as
often as may reasonably be desired. In the absence of a Default or an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender exercising any rights
pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall give the applicable Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary commercially reasonable prior
notice of such exercise. No notice shall be required during the existence and continuance of any Default or any time during which
Agent reasonably believes a Default exists.

 

Section
4.7

case of any of the Events of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) above, without any notice to any Borrower or
any other act by Agent or the Lenders, the Revolving Loan Commitment and the obligations of Agent and the Lenders with respect
thereto shall thereupon immediately and automatically terminate and all of the Obligations shall become immediately and automatically
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower
and Borrowers will pay the same.

 

Section
10.3                     
UCC Remedies.

 

(a)                Upon
the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, Agent,
in addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted to Agent under this Agreement or at law or in equity, may exercise,
either directly or through one or more assignees or designees, all rights and remedies granted to it under all Financing Documents
and under the UCC in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other applicable law; including, without limitation:

 

 

 

 

    	 	59	 

     

    

 

(i)                 the
right to take possession of, send notices regarding, and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process;

 

(ii)               the
right to (by its own means or with judicial assistance) enter any of Borrowers’ premises and take possession of the Collateral,
or render it unusable, or to render it usable or saleable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (iii) below
and to take possession of Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to Borrowers’ data processing equipment,
computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein
in any manner Agent deems appropriate, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrowers shall
not resist or interfere with such action (if Borrowers’ books and records are prepared or maintained by an accounting service,
contractor or other third party agent, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize such service, contractor or other agent, upon notice
by Agent to such Person that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to deliver to Agent or its designees such books
and records, and to follow Agent’s instructions with respect to further services to be rendered);

 

(iii)               the
right to require Borrowers at Borrowers’ expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to
Agent at any place designated by Lender;

 

(iv)             
the right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrowers’ mail to an address designated
by Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower; and/or

 

(v)              
the right to enforce Borrowers’ rights against Account Debtors and other obligors, including, without limitation,
(i) the right to collect Accounts directly in Agent’s own name (as agent for Lenders) and to charge the collection costs
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers, and (ii) the right, in the name of Agent or any designee of Agent
or Borrowers, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise,
including, without limitation, verification of Borrowers’ compliance with applicable Laws. Borrowers shall cooperate fully
with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. Such verification may include contacts between
Agent and applicable federal, state and local regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Borrowers’ affairs, all
of which contacts Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize.

 

(b)              
Each Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale, or
the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice
of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline
in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Agent without prior notice to Borrowers. At any sale
or disposition of Collateral, Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the Collateral,
free from any right of redemption by Borrowers, which right is hereby waived and released. Each Borrower covenants and agrees not
to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Agent
shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Agent may comply with any applicable state or
federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely
affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties
as to the Collateral. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered
to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit,
Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Agent and applied to the indebtedness
of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall
be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition
of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations.

 

 

 

    	 	60	 

     

    

 

(c)              
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes
Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to (i) use unadvanced funds remaining under this Agreement or which may be reserved, escrowed or
set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes, (ii) pay,
settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be Liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims
becoming Liens against the Collateral, (iii) execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Borrower and to
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Collateral, and (iv) do any and every act which such
Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney in this subsection (c) shall
be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

 

(d)              
Agent and each Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’
labels, mask works, rights of use of any name, any other Intellectual Property and advertising matter, and any similar property
as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection
with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Article, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses (whether as licensor or
licensee) and all franchise agreements inure to Agent’s and each Lender’s benefit.

 

Section
10.4                    
Cash Collateral. If (a) any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall occur,
(b) the Obligations shall have otherwise been accelerated pursuant to Section 10.2, or (c) the Revolving Loan Commitment
and the obligations of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 10.2, then
without any request or the taking of any other action by Agent or the Lenders, Borrowers shall immediately comply with the provisions
of Section 2.5(e) with respect to the deposit of cash collateral to secure the existing Letter of Credit Liability and future
payment of related fees.

 

Section
10.5                    
Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Agent or Required Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event
of Default and for so long as it continues, (a) the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are five
percent (5.0%) per annum in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement, and (b) the fee described in Section 2.5(b)
shall increase by a rate that is five percent (5.0%) in excess of the rate otherwise payable under such Section; provided,
however, that in the case of any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) above, such default rates shall apply
immediately and automatically without the need for any election or action of any kind on the part of Agent or any Lender.

 

Section
10.6                   
Setoff Rights. During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each
Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to such Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous
notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances held by such Lender
or any of such Lender’s Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless
of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (b) other property at any time held or owing
by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any
of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender
exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, that any Lender and any of such Lender’s Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations
as provided in this Section 10.6.

Section
10.7                    
Application of Proceeds.

 

(a)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or
times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of such Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and,
as between Borrowers on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to
apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding
any previous application by Agent.

 

(b)              
Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, but absent the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration
Event, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral
received by Agent, in such order as Agent may from time to time elect.

 

(c)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Acceleration Event shall have occurred, and
so long as it continues, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all
proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral;
second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender
with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts);
fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding and to provide
cash collateral to secure any and all Letter of Credit Liability and future payment of related fees, as provided for in Section 2.5(e);
fifth to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents;
and sixth, to the Obligations owing to any Eligible Swap Counterparty in respect of any Swap Contracts. Any balance
remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (y) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided
until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (z) each of the Persons entitled to receive
a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant
thereto for such category.

 

Section
10.8                     
Waivers.

 

(a)              
Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower
waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest,
default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes
or any other notes, commercial paper, accounts, contracts, documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Guarantees at any time held
by Lenders on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may do in this regard;
(ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s or any Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to
Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required
by any court prior to allowing Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation,
appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with
respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

 

 

 

    	 	62	 

     

    

 

(b)              
Each Borrower for itself and all its successors and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner
affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender; (ii) consents
to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Agent or any Lender with
respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors,
or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability
hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower,
Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waives the
benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result
contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

 

(c)              
To the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent
to the closing of the Loans or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute
a waiver by Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and Agent may at
any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Agent or Lender in
exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including any failure
to accelerate the maturity date of the Loans, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall
it serve as a novation of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loans or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to
insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Agent’s or any Lender’s acceptance of payment
of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Agent’s
and such Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for
failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by Agent as the
result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Agent’s right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans, nor shall Agent’s
receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party’s
default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.

 

(d)              
Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower
agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any “one action”
or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral
and any other properties owned by Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements securing the
Loans have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing
Documents.

 

(e)               
Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as requiring Agent or any Lender to resort
to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents in preference
or priority to any other Collateral, and Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute
discretion in respect of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents. In addition, Agent shall have the right from
time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then
due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in
the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal
and/or interest, Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in
the event Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loans, Agent may foreclose all or
any part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loans as Lender may accelerate and such other sums
secured by one or more of the Financing Documents as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed
Collateral shall remain subject to the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing Documents and not
previously recovered.

 

 

 

 

    	 	63	 

     

    

 

(f)               
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of
foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the
separate sale of any of the Collateral or require Agent or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral
before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby
expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part
of the Collateral.

 

Section
10.9                     Injunctive
Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any Credit Party’s
obligations under any Financing Documents, Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall
be entitled to an injunction (including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment,
or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, maintaining any cash management
and collection procedure described herein. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy
shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirement of
the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each
Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Document executed by
such Credit Party.

 

Section
10.10                  Marshalling;
Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or
all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes any payment or Agent enforces its Liens or Agent or any Lender exercises
its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

 

ARTICLE
11 - AGENT

 

Section
11.1                   
Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to enter into
each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof, together
with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 11.16 and to the terms of the other
Financing Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders
and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions
hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume
and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any
other Credit Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents,
servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees.

 

 

 

 

    	 	64	 

     

    

 

Section
11.2                    Agent
and Affiliates. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise
or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and
generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Agent hereunder.

 

Section
11.3                     Action
by Agent. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to
or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except
as expressly set forth herein or therein.

 

Section
11.4                    Consultation
with Experts. Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants
or experts.

 

Section
11.5                    Liability
of Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees
shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that
Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection
with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements
specified in any Financing Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document; (d) the
validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby
or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or
Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance
upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile or electronic transmission
or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for
any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently
determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover
from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby
agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

 

Section
11.6                    
Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Agent (to the extent
not reimbursed by Borrowers) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action,
loss or liability (except such as result from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any
action taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion
of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts
indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

 

Section
11.7                    
Right to Request and Act on Instructions. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with
respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Agent is permitted
or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain
from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining
from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions
from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or
such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders
(or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith,
that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification
in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

 

 

 

    	 	65	 

     

    

 

Section
11.8                    
Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

 

Section
11.9                    
Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release
any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the Loan Commitment and payment in
full of all Obligations, and, to the extent required by Agent in its sole discretion, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization
(to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Swap Contracts secured, in whole or in part, by any Collateral; or (ii) constituting
property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document (it being
understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to
the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); and (b) subordinate
any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document to a Permitted Lien that is allowed to have priority over the
Liens granted to or held by Agent pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens”. Upon request by Agent at any time,
Lenders will confirm Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to
this Section 11.9.

 

Section
11.10                  Agency
for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s
security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected
by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall
notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with
Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that
it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for
the Loan unless instructed to do so by Agent (or consented to by Agent), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies
may be exercised only by Agent.

 

Section
11.11                   Notice
of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except
with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders,
unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt
of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required
Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof.
Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

11.12                   Assignment
by Agent; Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent.

 

(a)              
Agent may at any time assign its rights, powers, privileges and duties hereunder to (i) another Lender, or (ii) any
Person to whom Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has assigned (or will assign, in conjunction with such assignment of agency
rights hereunder) 50% or more of its Loan, in each case without the consent of the Lenders or Borrowers. Following any such assignment,
Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and Borrowers. An assignment by Agent pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be
deemed a resignation by Agent for purposes of subsection (b) below.

 

(b)              
Without limiting the rights of Agent to designate an assignee pursuant to subsection (a) above, Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within ten (10) Business Days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided, however, that if Agent shall notify Borrowers and
the Lenders that no Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice from Agent that no Person has accepted such appointment and, from and following delivery of such notice, (i) the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and (ii) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.

 

(c)                Upon
(i) an assignment permitted by subsection (a) above, or (ii) the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Agent pursuant to subsection (b) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).
The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents,
the provisions of this Article and Section 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and
its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting or was
continuing to act as Agent.

 

Section
11.13                   Payment
and Sharing of Payment.

 

(a)               
Revolving Loan Advances, Payments and Settlements; Interest and Fee Payments.

 

(i)                 Agent
shall have the right, on behalf of Revolving Lenders to disburse funds to Borrowers for all Revolving Loans requested or deemed
requested by Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume, for purposes of
the preceding sentence, that each Revolving Lender, other than any Non-Funding Lenders, will fund its Pro Rata Share of all Revolving
Loans requested by Borrowers. Each Revolving Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand, in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately following paragraph, for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i),
or if Agent so requests, each Revolving Lender will remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan before Agent disburses
the same to a Borrower. If Agent elects to require that each Revolving Lender make funds available to Agent, prior to a disbursement
by Agent to a Borrower, Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail of the amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan requested by such Borrower no later than noon (Eastern time) on the date of
funding of such Revolving Loan, and each such Revolving Lender shall pay Agent on such date such Revolving Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such requested Revolving Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the Payment Account, or such other account
as may be identified by Agent to Revolving Lenders from time to time. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share
of any funds advanced by Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i) within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s
demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Any repayment
required by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon from and including
the date such amount is made available to a Borrower to but excluding the date of payment at the rate of interest then applicable
to Revolving Loans. Nothing in this Section 11.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents shall be
deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such
Lender hereunder.

 

 

 

    	 	67	 

     

    

 

(ii)                On
a Business Day of each week as selected from time to time by Agent, or more frequently (including daily), if Agent so elects (each
such day being a “Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail
of the amount of each such Revolving Lender’s percentage interest of the Revolving Loan balance as of the close of business
of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date. In the event that payments are necessary to adjust the amount of
such Revolving Lender’s actual percentage interest of the Revolving Loans to such Lender’s required percentage interest
of the Revolving Loan balance as of any Settlement Date, the Revolving Lender from which such payment is due shall pay Agent,
without setoff or discount, to the Payment Account before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day following the Settlement
Date the full amount necessary to make such adjustment. Any obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever. In the event settlement shall not
have occurred by the date and time specified in the second preceding sentence, interest shall accrue on the unsettled amount at
the rate of interest then applicable to Revolving Loans.

 

(iii)              On
each Settlement Date, Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone, facsimile or e-mail of the amount of such Revolving
Lender’s percentage interest of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Revolving Lenders with respect to each
applicable Revolving Loan, to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Exposure with respect thereto, and shall
make payment to such Revolving Lender before 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date of
such amounts in accordance with wire instructions delivered by such Revolving Lender to Agent, as the same may be modified from
time to time by written notice to Agent; provided, however, that, in the case such Revolving Lender is a Defaulted Lender,
Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Defaulted Lender’s respective share of all payments
received from any Borrower.

 

(iv)             
On the Closing Date, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may elect to advance to Borrowers the full amount of the initial Loans
to be made on the Closing Date prior to receiving funds from Lenders, in reliance upon each Lender’s commitment to make its
Pro Rata Share of such Loans to Borrowers in a timely manner on such date. If Agent elects to advance the initial Loans to Borrower
in such manner, Agent shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the Closing Date on each Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such Loans unless Agent receives such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
on the Closing Date.

 

(v)              
It is understood that for purposes of advances to Borrowers made pursuant to this Section 11.13, Agent will be using
the funds of Agent, and pending settlement, (A) all funds transferred from the Payment Account to the outstanding Revolving
Loans shall be applied first to advances made by Agent to Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.13, and (B) all interest
accruing on such advances shall be payable to Agent.

 

 

 

    	 	68	 

     

    

 

(vi)            
The provisions of this Section 11.13(a) shall be deemed to be binding upon Agent and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to any Borrower or any other Credit Party.

 

(b)              
Reserved

 

(c)               
Return of Payments.

 

(i)                
If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or
will be received by Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover
such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on
a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

(ii)                If
Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to
any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement
or any other Financing Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each
Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest
at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction
of any kind.

 

(d)              
Defaulted Lenders. The failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligations to make payment, but neither any other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure
of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted
Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a “Lender”
(or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with
respect to any Financing Document.

 

(e)              
Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(d)) in excess
of its Pro Rata Share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 11.13, such Lender shall purchase
from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation
or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each
of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter required to
be returned or otherwise recovered from such purchasing Lender, such portion of such purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender
which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable
extent of such return or recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender pursuant to this clause (e) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
pursuant to Section 10.6) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers
in the amount of such participation). If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives
a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (e) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise
its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (e)
to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section
11.14                  Right
to Perform, Preserve and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing
Document, Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Borrowers’ expense. Agent
is further authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which Agent, in its reasonable business
judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or
any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loan and other Obligations.
Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Agent pursuant
to this Section 11.14. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations
incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

 

Section
11.15                   Additional
Titled Agents. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or
to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled
Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this
Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties
or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled
Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional
Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loan, such Lender
shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.

 

Section
11.16                   Amendments
and Waivers.

 

(a)               
No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be materially amended, waived or otherwise modified unless
such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrowers, the Required Lenders
and any other Lender to the extent required under Section 11.16(b); provided, however, that Agent shall be entitled,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to provide its written consent to a proposed Swap Contract, in each case without the consent
of any other Lender.

 

(b)              
In addition to the required signatures under Section 11.16(a), no provision of this Agreement or any other Financing
Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is
signed or otherwise approved by the following Persons:

 

(i)                 if
any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase a Lender’s funding obligations in respect of any Loan, by such
Lender; and/or

 

(ii)                if
the rights or duties of Agent or LC Issuer are affected thereby, by Agent and
LC Issuer, as the case may be;

 

 

 

    	 	70	 

     

    

 

provided, however, that, in each
of (i) and (ii) above, no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in writing by
all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or forgive any principal, interest (other than default
interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation;
(B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment (other than any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii))
of principal of any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation, or of interest on any
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than default interest) or any fees provided
for hereunder (other than late charges) or postpone the date of termination of any commitment of any Lender hereunder; (C) change
the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action
hereunder; (D) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of
all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations or its Guarantee obligations
with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement
or the other Financing Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise
modify this Section 11.16(b) or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 11.16(b) insofar as the definitions
affect the substance of this Section 11.16(b); (F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Credit
Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Financing Document or release any Borrower of its payment obligations under
any Financing Document, except, in each case with respect to this clause (F), pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted
pursuant to this Agreement; or (G) amend any of the provisions of Section 10.7 or amend any of the definitions Pro Rata
Share, Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage, or that provide for the
Lenders to receive their Pro Rata Shares of any fees, payments, setoffs or proceeds of Collateral hereunder. It is hereby understood
and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described
in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of the preceding sentence.

 

(c)                Without
limitation of the provisions of the preceding clause (a) and (b), no waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement
shall, unless signed by each Eligible Swap Counterparty then in existence, modify the provisions of Section 10.7 in any manner
adverse to the interests of each such Eligible Swap Counterparty.

 

 

Section
11.17                   Assignments
and Participations.

 

(a)               
Assignments.

 

(i)                
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s Loan together
with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Except as Agent may otherwise agree, the amount of any such assignment (determined
as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement,
as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor’s entire interests
in the outstanding Loan; provided, however, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved
Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment
size referred to above. Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement
executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assigning
Lender; provided, however, that only one processing fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to
two or more related Approved Funds.

 

(ii)              
From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be
deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant
to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (B) the assigning Lender, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released
from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request
of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s Loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion
of the principal amount of the Loan retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning
Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any prior Note held by it.

 

 

 

    	 	71	 

     

    

 

(iii)            
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the office of its servicer located in Bethesda,
Maryland a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries
in such register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register
shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.

 

(iv)              Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.

 

(v)               Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, Agent has the right, but not
the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loan via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Agent as designated in writing
from time to time to the Lenders by Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Agent elects, in
its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and
proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent
with the other provisions of this Section 11.17(a). Each assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with
the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loan pursuant to the Settlement Service.
With the prior written approval of Agent, Agent’s approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically
granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loan shall be
effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.

 

(b)              
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Agent, sell to
one or more Persons (other than any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates) participating interests in its Loan, commitments
or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating
interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrowers
and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by each Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation
and shall be paid directly to such Lender. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable
(as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating
interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly
to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation
of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 11.5.

 

 

 

 

    	 	72	 

     

    

 

(c)               
Replacement of Lenders. Within thirty (30) days after: (i) receipt by Agent of notice and demand from any Lender
for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 2.8(d), which demand shall not have been revoked, (ii) any Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.8(a), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have been
cured or waived; or (iv) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Financing
Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender,
or each Lender affected thereby, is required with respect thereto (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv)
being an “Affected Lender”) each of Borrower Representative and Agent may, at its option, notify such Affected
Lender and, in the case of Borrowers’ election, the Agent, of such Person’s intention to obtain, at Borrowers’
expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible
Assignee and, in the event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender described in the preceding clause (iv),
such Replacement Lender consents to the requested amendment, waiver or modification making the replaced Lender an Affected Lender.
In the event Borrowers or Agent, as applicable, obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention
to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Loan and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement
Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.17(a); provided, however, that (A) Borrowers
shall have reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under
Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(d), as applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment, and
(B) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the $3,500 processing fee in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender
does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 11.17(a) within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such
replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 11.17(c) and presentation to such replaced Lender of an
Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 11.17(c), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have
consented to the terms of such Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by Agent, the Replacement Lender
and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.17(a), Borrowers, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 11.17(c)
and Section 11.17(a). Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender”
for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 12.1.

 

(d)              
Credit Party Assignments. No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations
hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

 

Section
11.18                   Funding
and Settlement Provisions Applicable When Non-Funding Lenders Exist.

 

So long as Agent has
not waived the conditions to the funding of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 7.2 any Lender may deliver a notice to Agent
stating that such Lender shall cease making Revolving Loans due to the non-satisfaction of one or more conditions to funding Loans
set forth in Section 7.2, and specifying any such non-satisfied conditions. Any Lender delivering any such notice shall become
a non-funding Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) for purposes of this Agreement commencing on the Business Day
following receipt by Agent of such notice, and shall cease to be a Non-Funding Lender on the date on which such Lender has either
revoked the effectiveness of such notice or acknowledged in writing to each of Agent the satisfaction of the condition(s) specified
in such notice, or Required Lenders waive the conditions to the funding of such Loans giving rise to such notice by Non-Funding
Lender. Each Non-Funding Lender shall remain a Lender for purposes of this Agreement to the extent that such Non-Funding Lender
has Revolving Loans Outstanding in excess of $0; provided, however, that during any period of time that any Non-Funding
Lender exists, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, the following provisions shall apply:

 

 

 

    	 	73	 

     

    

 

(a)               
For purposes of determining the Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Lender under clause (c) of the definition of such
term, each Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have a Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as in effect immediately before such Lender
became a Non-Funding Lender.

 

(b)              
Except as provided in clause (a) above, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount of each Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed
to be $0.

 

(c)               
The Revolving Loan Commitment at any date of determination during such period shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of
(i) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts of all Lenders, other than the Non-Funding Lenders as of such date plus
(ii) the aggregate Revolving Loan Outstandings of all Non-Funding Lenders as of such date.

 

(d)              
Reserved

 

(e)              
Agent shall have no right to make or disburse Revolving Loans for the account of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i)
to pay interest, fees, expenses and other charges of any Credit Party, other than reimbursement
obligations that have arisen pursuant to Section 2.5(c) in respect of Letters of Credit issued at the time such Non-Funding Lender
was not then a Non-Funding Lender.

 

(f)                Agent
shall have no right to (i) make or disburse Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.1(b)(i) for the account of any
Revolving Lender that was a Non-Funding Lender at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit for which funding or reimbursement
obligations have arisen pursuant to Section 2.5(c), or (ii) assume that any Revolving Lender that was a Non-Funding
Lender at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit will fund any portion of the Revolving Loans to be funded pursuant to
Section 2.5(c) in respect of such Letter of Credit. In addition, no Revolving Lender that was a Non-Funding Lender at the
time of issuance of any Letter of Credit for which funding or reimbursement obligations have arisen pursuant to Section 2.5(c),
shall have an obligation to fund any portion of the Revolving Loans to be funded pursuant to Section 2.5(c) in respect to
such Letter of Credit, or to make any payment to Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, under Section 2.5(f)(ii) in respect
of such Letter of Credit, or be deemed to have purchased any interest or participation in such Letter of Credit from Agent or
the L/C Issuer, as applicable, under Section 2.5(f)(i).

 

(g)              
To the extent that Agent applies proceeds of Collateral or other payments received by Agent to repayment of Revolving Loans
pursuant to Section 10.7, such payments and proceeds shall be applied first in respect of Revolving Loans made at the time
any Non-Funding Lenders exist, and second in respect of all other outstanding Revolving Loans.

 

Section
11.19                   Buy-Out
Upon Refinancing. MCF shall have the right to purchase from the other Lenders all of their respective interests in the Loan
at par in connection with any refinancing of the Loan upon one or more new economic terms, but which refinancing is structured
as an amendment and restatement of the Loan rather than a payoff of the Loan.

 

Section

of 1/100 of 1%) equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal
Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the Business

ARTICLE
12 - MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section
12.1                   
Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Financing Document
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the other Operative Documents.
The provisions of Section 2.9 and Articles 11 and 12 shall survive the payment of the Obligations (both with respect to any
Lender and all Lenders collectively) and any termination of this Agreement and any judgment with respect to any Obligations, including
any final foreclosure judgment with respect to any Security Document, and no unpaid or unperformed, current or future, Obligations
will merge into any such judgment.

 

Section
12.2                   
No Waivers. No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under
any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any reference in any Financing Document to the
“continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any
Borrower or any other Credit Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely
for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents.

Section
12.3

(a)                All
notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile
transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth

agreement or in a notice delivered to Borrower Representative and Agent by the assignee Lender forthwith upon such assignment)
or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to
Agent and Borrower Representative; provided, however, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by electronic
means only in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(b) and (c). Each such notice, request or other communication
shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such notice is transmitted to the facsimile number specified by this Section and
the sender receives a confirmation of transmission from the sending facsimile machine, or (ii) if given by mail, prepaid
overnight courier or any other means, when received or when receipt is refused at the applicable address specified by this Section 12.3(a).

 

(b)              
Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved from time to time by Agent, provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of
receiving notices by electronic communication. The Agent or Borrower Representative may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices
and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided,
however, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

(c)               
Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt

posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail
address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying
the website address therefor, provided, however, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal
business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business

Section
12.4                   
Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Financing Document
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section
12.5                    
Headings. Headings and captions used in the Financing Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and

prior written consent, (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the Financing Documents and to direct them
not to disclose the same to any other Person and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions.

 

 

 

 

    	 	76	 

     

    

 

(b)              
Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective businesses
identified as such by Borrowers and obtained by Agent or any Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such
Person’s customary procedures for handling information of such nature, except that disclosure of such information may be
made (i) to their respective agents, employees, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating
agencies, insurance industry associations and portfolio management services, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers
of any interest in the Loans, the Agent or a Lender, and to prospective contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors
thereto) in Swap Contracts permitted hereby, provided, however, that any such Persons are bound by obligations of
confidentiality, (iii) as required by Law, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection with any litigation,
(iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person, and (v) to
a Person that is a trustee, investment advisor or investment manager, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party
in a Securitization (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving
as collateral for such Securitization. For the purposes of this Section, “Securitization” shall mean (A) the
pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to a Lender, or (B) a public or private offering by a Lender or any of
its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized,
in whole or in part, by the Loans. Confidential information shall include only such information identified as such at the time
provided to Agent and shall not include information that either: (y) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public
domain after disclosure to such Person through no fault of such Person, or (z) is disclosed to such Person by a Person other
than a Credit Party, provided, however, Agent does not have actual knowledge that such Person is prohibited from
disclosing such information. The obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Section 12.6 shall supersede and replace the
obligations of Agent and Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Agent
or any Lender prior to the date hereof.

 

Section
12.7                    
Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower
shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (as defined below), on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed
by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the
other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

Section
12.8                   
GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

 

(a)               
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE AND EACH OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT, AND ALL DISPUTES AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO
OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

 

(b)             
EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF MONTGOMERY,
STATE OF MARYLAND AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY SUBMITS
AND CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON SUCH BORROWER BY CERTIFIED
OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE
SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED.

 

 

 

    	 	77	 

     

    

 

(c)               
Each Borrower, Agent and each Lender agree that each Loan (including those made on the Closing Date) shall be deemed to
be made in, and the transactions contemplated hereunder and in any other Financing Document shall be deemed to have been performed

Section
12.9                    WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. (a) EACH BORROWER, AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY
AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED ON THE
WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN
THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF
REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

 

(b)              
In the event any such action or proceeding is brought or filed in any United States federal court sitting in the State of
California or in any state court of the State of California, and the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 12.9(a) hereof
is determined or held to be ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all actions or proceedings shall be resolved by
reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a
mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County,
California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery
applicable to such proceeding. In the event any actions or proceedings are to be resolved by judicial reference, any party may
seek from any court having jurisdiction thereover any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order,
writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law notwithstanding that all actions or proceedings are otherwise
subject to resolution by judicial reference.

by Law, subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case the applicable Credit Party shall give Agent prior written notice
of such publication or other disclosure, or (ii) with MCF’s prior written consent.

MCF may, from time to time, publish such information in any media form desired by MCF, until such time that Borrowers shall have

(a)               
Borrowers hereby agree to promptly pay (i) all costs and expenses of Agent (including, without limitation, the fees,
costs and expenses of counsel to, and independent appraisers and consultants retained by Agent) in connection with the examination,
review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated by the

    	 	79	 

     

    

 

(b)              
Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agent and Lenders and the officers, directors, employees,
trustees, agents, investment advisors and investment managers, collateral managers, servicers, and counsel of Agent and Lenders
(collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the
fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative
or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding
initiated by or on behalf of a Credit Party, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants
and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by
Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby, which may be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Operative
Documents (including (i)(A) as a direct or indirect result of the presence on or under, or escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission or release from, any property now or previously owned, leased or operated by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
other Person of any Hazardous Materials, (B) arising out of or relating to the offsite disposal of any materials generated
or present on any such property, or (C) arising out of or resulting from the environmental condition of any such property
or the applicability of any governmental requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part
by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of Borrower or any Subsidiary, and (ii) proposed and actual
extensions of credit under this Agreement) and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit, except
that Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to an Indemnitee with respect to any liability resulting from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent that the undertaking set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, Borrower shall contribute
the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified
liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

 

(c)               
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligations of Borrowers under this Section 12.14 shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. NO INDEMNITEE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE
TO THE BORROWERS OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER
PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE
ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT
OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

 

(d)              
Each Borrower for itself and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, hereby further specifically waives any rights that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (to
the extent applicable), which provides as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR,” and further waives any similar rights under applicable Laws.

by or against any Credit Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Credit Party become insolvent or make an assignment
for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should an interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be appointed
for all or any significant part of any Credit Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a fraudulent
preference reviewable transaction or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that
any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed

Schedule 3.6

Litigation

 

		(a)	Michael Boller vs. Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc., Case No. 27CV1519456 (11/10/2015). On November 6, 2015,
a complaint was filed in the Minnesota District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota, by David Gray and Michael Boller, purporting
to bring suit derivatively on behalf of the Company against twelve current and former officers and directors of the Company. The
complaint alleges that misstatements and omissions occurred in press releases and filings by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and that these misstatements or omissions constitute violations of Section 20 (a) and Section 10(b) of, and
Rule 10b-5 under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties based on such alleged
misstatements or omissions, and that the defendants have been unjustly enriched as a result thereof. The complaint seeks damages,
disgorgement, an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses, and an order compelling changes to the Company’s corporate
governance and internal procedures. This matter has been stayed by the court, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, until the
United States District Court for the Central District of California determines the legal sufficiency of Mr. Feola's complaint or
other specified developments occur in that case. This matter has been submitted to our insurance carriers.

 

		(b)	Class Action Lawsuit Involving Energy Star Designations. In February 2012, various individuals commenced a class action
lawsuit against Whirlpool Corporation (“Whirlpool”) and various distributors of Whirlpool products, including Sears,
The Home Depot, Lowe’s and us, alleging certain appliances Whirlpool sold through its distribution chain, which includes
us, were improperly designated with the ENERGY STAR® qualification rating established by the U.S. Department of Energy and
the Environmental Protection Agency. The claims against us include breach of warranty claims, as well as various state consumer
protection claims. The amount of the claim is, as yet, undetermined. Whirlpool has offered to fully indemnify and defend its distributors
in this lawsuit, including us, and has engaged legal counsel to defend itself and the distributors. We are monitoring Whirlpool’s
defense of the claims and believe the possibility of a material loss is remote.

 

		(c)	Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. vs. Amtim Capital, Case No. 27CV115361 (03/14/2011). AMTIM Capital, Inc.
(“AMTIM”) acts as our representative to market our recycling services in Canada under an arrangement that pays AMTIM
for revenues generated by recycling services in Canada as set forth in the agreement between the parties. A dispute has arisen
between AMTIM and us with respect to the calculation of amounts due to AMTIM pursuant to the agreement. In a lawsuit filed in the
province of Ontario, AMTIM claims a discrepancy in the calculation of fees due to AMTIM by us of approximately $2.0 million. Although
the outcome of this claim is uncertain, we believe that no further amounts are due under the terms of the agreement and that we
will continue to defend our position relative to this lawsuit.

 

		(d)	TLF Logistics II Tualatin Corporate Center, LLC vs. Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (April 2017). The Company
formerly leased the premises located at 19701-19799 SW 95th Ave. Tualatin, Oregon, from the plaintiff, but has closed the recycling
center it operated at that location and vacated the premises. The plaintiff has filed suit seeking payment of $73,302.48 plus certain
costs, which it claims is owed to it under the lease. This matter is still in its early stages, but is being contested by the Company.
