records related to the Revolving Loans will constitute prima facie evidence of the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans
absent manifest error. The Revolving Loans will be due and payable upon the earlier of the occurrence of an Event of Default or
the expiration of the Term.

 

(d)          If
an Overadvance exists, Borrowers must immediately make a principal reduction payment(s) of the excess to Lender as required to
reduce the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans such that no Overadvance exists.

 

3.2         Interest.

 

(a)          Interest
Rates. The aggregate outstanding amount of all Obligations will bear interest at the monthly rate set forth in Section 1.1
and all interest will be payable on the first day of each month in arrears. Any interest not paid when due will be compounded and
will thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable to the Obligations. All interest will be calculated based on a 360
day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(b)          Default
Interest. The aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations will bear interest from and after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, without constituting a waiver of any Event of Default, at the rate of three percent (3.0%)
per annum above the otherwise applicable rate.

 

(c)          Intent
to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the interest rates payable under the Loan Documents, plus any other
amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall,
in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and Lender, in executing and delivering the Loan Documents, intend to agree
upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within the Loan Documents. However, if the rate or rates of interest
or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as of the date of this Agreement,
Borrowers are and will be liable only for the payment of the maximum as allowed by law, and payments received from Borrowers in
excess of the legal maximum, whenever received, will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent
of the excess.

 

3.3         Cross
Defaults and Cross Collateralization. A default under any Loan Document is a default under all Loan Documents. All Collateral
secures all Obligations.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

3.4         Payments.

 

(a)          All
payments, including any prepayments, by Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees, or other Obligations must be made without
setoff or counterclaim to Lender at the address specified on the first page of this Agreement in Dollars and in immediately available
funds. If any payment under this Agreement is due on a day other than a day which is a Business Day, its due date will be extended
to the next Business Day, and with respect to payments of principal and interest thereon, will be payable at the then-applicable
rate during the extension.

 

(b)          Borrowers
hereby authorize Lender, at its option, to pay interest and the fees called for by Section 1.4 when due and without notice,
and Expenses, upon three days' prior notice by making a Revolving Loan, which amounts thereafter will accrue interest at the rate
then applicable to the Revolving Loans.

 

3.5         Crediting
Payments. For the purpose of calculating Borrowing Base availability for Revolving Loans, the receipt by Lender of any
wire transfer or electronic funds transfer of funds, check or other item of payment will be applied the next Business Day to provisionally
reduce the Obligations, but the receipt will not be considered a payment on account unless the wire transfer or electronic funds
transfer is of immediately available federal funds and is made to the appropriate Blocked Account or unless and until any check
or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. In the event any check or other item of payment is not honored
when presented for payment, Borrowers will be deemed not to have made the payment. Any wire transfer, electronic funds transfer,
check or other item of payment received by Lender after 5:00 pm Central time will be deemed to have been received by Lender as
of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day for purposes of calculating interest and Borrowing Base availability.

 

3.6         The
Borrower Representative. Parent is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers (and hereby accepts its appointment) as each
Borrower’s contractual representative under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and each Borrower irrevocably authorizes
Parent to act as Borrower’s contractual representative with the rights and duties set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Parent agrees to act as the contractual representative and to promptly provide to Borrowers any notices delivered by
Lender under the Loan Documents. Additionally, Borrowers hereby appoint Parent as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of
the Revolving Loans in Parent’s operating account, at which time Parent will disburse the Revolving Loans among Borrowers
and the U.K. Affiliates as agreed by Borrowers. Lender and its officers, directors, agents and employees, will not be liable to
Parent or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent or Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.6.
Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Parent as a notice or communication from
all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower to Parent on behalf of
all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice or communication made on its behalf by Parent will be deemed for all purposes
to have been made by each Borrower and will be binding upon and enforceable against each Borrower to the same extent as if it had
been made directly by each Borrower.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

3.7         Joint
and Several Obligations.

 

(a)          All
Obligations will be joint and several, and each Borrower will make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration
or otherwise, and the obligation and liability of each Borrower will in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance
granted by Lender to any Borrower, failure of Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure
of Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired
from any Loan Party, and the agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected
by prior recourse (or lack thereof) by Lender to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for the Obligations.

 

(b)          Each
Borrower waives all suretyship defenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that any and all actions, inactions or omissions by any one or more, or all, of Borrowers in connection with, related
to or otherwise affecting this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and inure to and are binding upon, each and all of
Borrowers, jointly and severally.

 

(c)          Each
covenant, agreement, obligation, representation and warranty of Borrowers contained in any Loan Document constitutes the joint
and several undertaking of each Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of Borrower undertaken in the Loan Documents
may be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guarantee of obligations of the other Borrowers and, in full recognition
of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time without notice or demand, whether
before or after any actual or purported termination, repudiation or revocation of this Agreement by any Borrower, and without affecting
the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Agreement as to any Borrower (but subject to the written consent of Borrowers
with respect to subsections (i) and (ii), to the extent Lender does not have the unilateral right to make the changes under the
terms of the Loan Documents as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise):

 

		(i)	supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease,
extend, renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of this Agreement or any part thereof, including any increase
or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;

 

		(ii)	supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease
or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, this Agreement or any part thereof, or any
of the Loan Documents, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;

 

		(iii)	accept partial payments;

 

		(iv)	release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to
perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or enforce any security or guarantees, and apply any security and direct
the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine;

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

		(v)	release any person or entity from any personal liability
with respect to this Agreement or any part thereof;

 

		(vi)	settle, release on terms satisfactory to Lender or by
operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any security or guaranty in any manner, consent to the transfer
of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or

 

		(vii)	consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring
or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any Borrower, or any other person or entity, and correspondingly restructure
the obligations evidenced hereby, and any merger, change, restructuring or termination will not affect the liability of any Borrower
or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the obligations evidenced
hereby.

 

(d)          Each
Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on
a consolidated basis with the U.K. Affiliates to the same extent possible as if they were merged into a single corporate entity
and that this Agreement reflects the establishment of credit facilities which would not otherwise be available to Borrower if Borrower
were not jointly and severally liable for payment of the obligations; (ii) it has determined that it will benefit specifically
and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations
of Lender hereunder and a desire of Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to Lender this Agreement; and (iv) Borrowers
have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Borrower agrees if Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder, or if any liens or security interest securing the joint
and several liability, would, but for the application of this Section 3.7(d), be unenforceable under applicable law,
the joint and several liability and each lien and security interest will be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would
not cause the joint and several liability or the lien or security interest to be unenforceable under applicable law, and the joint
and several liability and the liens and security interest will be deemed to have been automatically amended accordingly at all
relevant times. To the extent that any Borrower, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repays any of the Obligations
that benefited another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation
Payment”), then the Borrower making the Accommodation Payment will be entitled to contribution and indemnification from,
and, be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of the other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of the Accommodation
Payment, the numerator of which fraction is the other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator
of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable
Amount” of each Borrower will be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted
against the Borrower hereunder without (A) rendering the Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31)
of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (B) leaving the Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within
the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or (C) leaving the Borrower unable to pay
its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or
Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section will be subordinate
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section will, to the extent expressly
inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede the inconsistent provisions.

4.          CONDITIONS
OF BORROWING

 

Notwithstanding any
other terms of this Agreement, Lender will not be required to make any Revolving Loan for the benefit of Borrowers unless all of
the following conditions are met at or prior to the time the Revolving Loan is made:

 

4.1         Representations
True. Borrowers’ representations and warranties in this Agreement (and in all agreements referred to or executed
in connection with this Agreement) are true as of the date of each Loan or advance under this Agreement with the same effect as
though the representations and warranties had been made by Borrowers at that time, unless the applicable representation or warranty
is made as of a specific date, in which case the representation was true and correct as of that date.

 

4.2         No
Default. No Event of Default under this Agreement exists, nor does any event exist which, upon the lapse of time, service
of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, and no suit or proceeding at law or in equity or
of any governmental body has been instituted or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened which, in either case, would materially
and adversely affect Borrowers’ financial condition or business operations.

 

4.3         Counsel
Opinion. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Lender must receive from Borrowers satisfactory legal opinions
as to: (a) the due authorization, execution and delivery by Borrowers of the Loan Documents, and all documents and agreements referred
to or executed in connection with this Agreement; and (b) Borrowers’ due organization, existence and qualification to do
business in its state of formation and the state where its tangible assets are located. Borrowers and the Guarantors must also
execute and deliver to Lender or its counsel all documents Lender reasonably requests concerning Borrowers’ and Guarantors’
status and authorization to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

4.4         Adverse
Developments. Since the date of the last financial statements furnished to Lender, there has been no material adverse change
in the business, prospects, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrowers, Guarantors or any of their assets.

 

4.5         Loan
Documents. The Loan Parties have executed and delivered to Lender all Loan Documents requested by Lender.

5.          SECURITY
FOR THE OBLIGATIONS

 

5.1         Grant
of Security. Each Borrower hereby grants Lender a continuing security interest and lien in all presently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral to secure prompt repayment of all Obligations and to secure the prompt performance by Borrowers
of each of their covenants and duties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender’s security interest will attach
to all Collateral without further act on the part of Lender or Borrowers. Borrowers have no authority, express or implied, to dispose
of, sell or transfer any of the Collateral, except for sales of Inventory to buyers in the ordinary course of business.

 

5.2         Negotiable
Collateral. In the event that any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral,
Borrowers will, upon the request of Lender, immediately endorse and assign the Negotiable Collateral to Lender and deliver physical
possession of the Negotiable Collateral to Lender.

 

5.3         Additional
Documentation. Borrowers authorize Lender to file all financing statements, continuation financing statements and fixture
filings as are necessary in the Lender’s Discretion to perfect, maintain and give notice of a first priority perfected security
interest in all of the Collateral (excepting any Collateral which is subject to Permitted Liens, in which case Lender will have
a subordinate security interest). At the request of Lender, Borrowers will execute and deliver to Lender, all security agreements,
pledges, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, applications for title, affidavits, reports, notices, schedules of
accounts, letters of authority, and other documents that Lender reasonably requests, in form satisfactory to Lender, to perfect
and continue perfected Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
contemplated.

 

5.4         Power
of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s
officers, employees or agents designated by Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, upon, and subject to,
the terms of this Section 5.4. Each Borrow agrees that pursuant to this power of attorney, Lender, or Lender’s agent,
may, without notice to Borrower and in either Borrower’s or Lender’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrower,

(b)          take
control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral;

 

(c)          upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, prepare,

or to any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral;

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(d)          sign
Borrower’s name on any documents described in Section 5.2 or 5.3 or on any other similar documents to be executed,
recorded or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected Lender’s security interest in the Collateral;

 

(e)          upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, sign Borrower’s

relating to Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral, drafts against Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, and
notices to Account Debtors;

 

(f)           send
requests for verification of Accounts or notices to Account Debtors to remit payments as directed by Lender;

 

(g)          endorse
the applicable Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other items of payment or proceeds
relating to any Accounts, Inventory or payment intangibles that may come into Lender’s possession and deposit the payments
and proceeds to the account of Lender for application to the Obligations;

 

(h)          upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, do all other
acts and things necessary, in Lender’s determination, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents;

 

(i)           upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, notify the
post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Lender, to receive
and open all mail addressed to Borrower, and to retain all mail relating to the Collateral and forward all other mail to Borrower;

 

(j)           upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, use the
information recorded on or contained in any equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts, Inventory and
any other Collateral;

 

(k)          upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, make,
settle and adjust all claims under Borrower’s policies of insurance relating to the Collateral, make all determinations and
decisions with respect to the policies of insurance and endorse the name of Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item
of payment for the proceeds of the policies of insurance;

 

(l)           upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, but subject
to any notices required under this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or applicable law, sell or assign any of the Accounts and
other Collateral upon terms, for amounts and at the time or times as Lender deems advisable; and

 

(m)          upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, settle,
adjust or compromise disputes and claims respecting Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that Lender
determines to be reasonable, and, in furtherance thereof, execute and deliver any documents and releases that Lender determines
to be necessary.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

The appointment of Lender as each Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact and each and every one of Lender’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until
all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and this Agreement has been terminated.

 

5.5         Right
To Inspect. Lender, through any of its officers, employees or agents and at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, will
have the right at any time or times during Borrowers’ usual business hours, or during the usual business hours of any third
party having control over any of Borrowers’ Business Records (to the extent that Borrowers have the right), to inspect the
Business Records in order to verify the amount or condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral or Borrowers’
financial condition. Lender also will have the right at any time or times during Borrower’s usual business hours to inspect
and examine Inventory and Equipment and to check and test the same as to quality, quantity, value and condition. If an Event of
Default has occurred or if Lender reasonably believes that an Event of Default has occurred, Lender may conduct any of the inspections
referenced in this Section 5.5 at any time without regard to a Borrower’s or any third party’s usual business
hours, to the extent Borrowers have the right. Borrowers’ responsibility for the costs of any inspections covered by this
Section is governed by Section 8.6.

 

5.6         Application
of Proceeds. Proceeds of Collateral may be applied to any of the Obligations in Lender’s discretion, and specifically
may be applied to outstanding Expenses owing to Lender prior to application to principal or interest.

 

6.          REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

 

To induce Lender to
make Revolving Loans, each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows (which representations and warranties will be
deemed to have been made with each request for a Revolving Loan unless the applicable representation or warranty is made as of
a specific date, in which case the representation was true and correct as of that date):

 

6.1         Organization.
Parent is a corporation duly formed and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, FIN is a limited liability company duly
formed and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois, Hardwire is a corporation duly formed and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware, and the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement and the issuance
of any notes as provided in this Agreement, are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized, are not in contravention
of law or the terms of its certificate of incorporation or formation or bylaws or operating agreement, as applicable, and do not
require the consent or approval of any third party, including any governmental body, agency or authority. Each Borrower is duly
licensed or qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the Borrower has property or business operations, or the failure
to be so qualified will not materially and adversely affect the Borrower or its property.

 

6.2         Financial
Statements. Borrowers’ balance sheets, the statements of profit and loss and surplus and the cash flow statements
furnished to Lender from time-to-time will be in all material respects correct and complete and will fairly present Borrowers’
financial condition as of the relevant dates and the results of its operations for the applicable time periods.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

6.3         Liens.
Except for Permitted Liens, Borrower has good and marketable title to all of the assets used in its business operations, including
all Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

 

6.4         Absence
of Conflicting Obligations. The making and execution of the Loan Documents and compliance with their terms and the issuance
of any notes will not (a) result in a breach of any of the terms and conditions of any material indenture, agreement or instrument
to which Borrower is a party or its assets are subject, or (b) result in the imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon
any property of Borrower pursuant to, or constituting a default under, any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which
Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.

 

6.5         Taxes.
Borrower has no outstanding unpaid tax liabilities (except for taxes which are currently accruing from its current operations and
ownership of property, and which are not delinquent), and no tax deficiencies have been proposed or assessed against Borrower.
There have been no audits of Borrower’s federal income tax returns, which have resulted in or are likely to result in the
assessment of any material tax liability against Borrower that has not been paid and all taxes shown by any returns have been paid.

 

6.6         Absence
of Material Litigation. Borrower is not a party to any litigation or administrative proceeding, nor so far as is known
by Borrower is any litigation or administrative proceeding threatened against it, which in either case would, if adversely determined,
cause any material adverse change in its properties or the conduct of its business.

 

6.7         Legal
Name; Employer Identification Number. Borrower’s full legal name is exactly as set forth on the signature page of
this Agreement and Borrower has not changed its name since the date of its organization, nor has it used any assumed name, trade
name, or trade style, other than as set forth on Schedule 6.7 attached hereto.

 

6.8         Financing
Statements; Lien Priority. Except for financing statements covering Permitted Liens, no financing statements covering any
Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, or any other of Borrower’s property are on file in any public office that evidence
a valid security interest.

 

6.9         Broker’s
Fees. Borrower agrees to pay all broker’s, finder’s or similar fees payable to any persons or entities in connection
with this Agreement and to defend and hold Lender harmless against those fees.

 

6.10       Principal
Place of Business; Collateral Locations.

 

(a)          Borrower’s
principal place of business, records concerning the Collateral and all other Business Records are located at or about the address
set forth at the beginning of this Agreement and all physical Collateral is located at those locations listed on Schedule 6.10;
and

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

(b)          Borrower
will provide Lender with 30 days prior written notice of any change with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

6.11       Full
Disclosure. This Agreement and all of the Exhibits, Schedules and other written material delivered by Borrower to Lender
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not contain any statement that is false or misleading as
to any material fact and do not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or
misleading. There are no additional facts that Borrower is aware of that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender that materially
affects adversely or, so far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, will materially affect adversely Borrower’s financial condition
or business prospects.

 

6.12       Compliance
With Law. Borrower is in compliance with all material laws and regulations applicable to it, its business and properties
(and no failure to comply will have a material adverse impact on Borrower, its business or properties). Borrower has all licenses,
permits, orders and approvals that are required under any governmental law or regulation in connection with Borrower’s business
and properties (“Permits”). No notice of any violation has been received with respect of any Permits and no
proceeding is pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened to terminate, revoke or limit any Permits.

 

6.13       Accounts.
All of Borrower’s Accounts constitute bona fide existing obligations created by the sale and delivery of Inventory or the
rendition of services to Account Debtors in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, and, in the case of Accounts created
by the sale and delivery of Inventory, the Inventory giving rise to the Accounts has been delivered to the Account Debtor. At the
time of the creation of each Eligible Account or the inclusion of the Account on a Borrowing Base Certificate, each Eligible Account
is unconditionally owed to Borrower without defense, dispute, offset, counterclaim or cancellation, and Borrower has not received
notice of actual or imminent bankruptcy, insolvency or material impairment of the financial condition of the Account Debtor regarding
any Eligible Account.

 

6.14       Subsidiaries
and Affiliates. Borrower has no subsidiaries and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other person
and is not an Affiliate of any other person except as set forth on Schedule 6.14.

 

6.15       Deposit
Accounts. Schedule 6.15 lists all banks and other financial institutions at which Borrower maintains deposits and/or
other accounts, including any disbursement accounts, and Schedule 6.15 correctly identifies the name and address of each
depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number.

 

6.16       Not
an Investment Company; Other Regulations. Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not subject to any regulation under any federal or state statute or regulation
(except those applicable to corporations generally) which limits its ability to incur debt.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

7.          NEGATIVE
COVENANTS

 

While any of the Obligations
remain unpaid, each Borrower must not agree to and must not (without Lender’s prior written consent):

 

7.1         Restriction

incidental or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of,
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. Lender will have no
liability to Borrowers (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrowers in connection with, arising
out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender,
that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any litigation, Lender
will be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care
in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower: (i) certifies that neither Lender nor any representative,
agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Lender would not, in the event
of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and (ii) acknowledges
that in entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and
certifications set forth in this Section 11.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

(c)          Each
Borrower waives any bond or surety or security upon the bond or surety (other than any appeal bond required in connection with
any appeal initiated by Lender) which might be required of Lender before Lender enforces its rights under this Agreement or otherwise
applicable law.

 

11.5       Anti
Waiver; Amendments; and Cumulative Remedies Provisions. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any
power or right, and no course of dealing between Borrowers and Lender, will operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor will
any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power
or right. The remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies which may be available
to Lender at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on Loan Parties not required hereunder or under any note or other agreement
will in any event entitle Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the right of Lender or the holder of any note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any note or other agreement, and any consent to any departure by Borrowers from
the terms of any provision of this Agreement, any note or other agreement, will be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it is given. Neither this Agreement nor any note or other agreement nor any terms hereof or
thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless the change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed
by Borrowers and Lender.

 

11.6       Controlling
Law. This Agreement, any all other Loan Documents will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts made and performed within Illinois without regard to conflict of laws principles.

 

11.7       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatures were upon the same instrument.

(c)          Rejection
or refusal to accept delivery and inability to deliver because of a changed address or facsimile number for which no due notice

11.9       Loan
Agreement Controls. Anything contained in any other agreement referred to in this Agreement or in any other agreement now
existing between Lender and Borrowers to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any express conflict between the terms and
provisions of any other agreement and those contained in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern and control.

 

11.10     Partial
Invalidity. The unenforceability for any reason of any provision of this Agreement will not impair or limit the operation
or validity of any other provisions of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreements between Lender and Borrowers.

 

11.11     Setoff.
In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law, Lender has the right, without prior written notice to Borrowers,
any required notice being expressly waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default and so long as an Event of Default is continuing, to set off and apply against any Obligations, whether matured or unmatured,
of Borrowers to Lender, any amount owing by Lender to Borrowers, at any time after the happening of any of the above mentioned
events, and the right of setoff may be exercised by Lender against Borrowers or against any assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrowers, or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrowers
or any assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact
that the right of setoff has not been exercised by Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance or service upon Lender of, or
of notice of, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance
of execution, subpoena or order or warrant.

 

    	34

    	 

    

 

11.12     No
Marshalling. Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns hereby expressly waives all rights
to require a marshalling of assets by Lender or to require that Lender first resort to some or any portion of the Collateral before
foreclosing upon, selling or otherwise realizing on any other portion thereof.

 

11.13     Reinstatement
of Obligations and Security. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment to Lender or Lender receives any payment(s) or
proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral for Borrowers’ benefit, which payment(s) or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine, then, to the extent of the payment(s) or
proceeds received, Borrowers’ obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby will be reinstated and continue
in full force and effect, and all collateral security therefor will remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated), as if the
payment(s) or proceeds had not been received by Lender, and an appropriate adjustment to Borrowers’ loan balance may be recorded,
until payment has been made to Lender, which payment will be due on demand.

 

11.14     Survival;
Reliance. All agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement (and all agreements referred to or incorporated
herein) will survive the execution of this Agreement (and all documents and agreements referred to or incorporated herein) and
the making of the Loans and the execution and delivery of any notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (or any documents
or agreements referred to or incorporated herein) to the contrary, no investigation or inquiry by any party with respect to any
matter which is the subject of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement set forth herein or therein is intended,
nor will it be interpreted, to limit, diminish or otherwise affect the full scope and effect of any representation, warranty, covenant
or other agreement. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Borrowers made in any Loan Document, or
in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto will be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by Lender,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or its agents.

 

11.15     Interpretation.
This Agreement (and all agreements referred to or incorporated into this Agreement) is being entered into among competent persons,
who are experienced in business and represented by counsel, and has been reviewed by the parties and their counsel. Therefore,
any ambiguous language in this Agreement (and all agreements referred to or incorporated herein) will not necessarily be construed
against any particular party as the drafter of the language.

 

    	35

    	 

    

 

11.16     Independence
of Covenants. All covenants hereunder are to be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is
not permitted by any covenant, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations
of, another covenant will not avoid the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default if the action is taken or the condition
exists.

 

11.17     Copies
and Facsimiles. Each Loan Document and all documents and papers which relate thereto which have been or may be in the future
furnished by or to Lender may be reproduced by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process, and
Lender may destroy any document so reproduced. Any reproduction will be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial
or administration proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not the reproduction was made in the regular
course of business). Any facsimile which bears proof of transmission will be binding on the party for which or on whose behalf
the transmission was initiated and likewise will be so admissible in evidence as if the original of the facsimile had been delivered
to the party for which or on whose behalf the transmission was received.

Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Borrowers”) pursuant to that certain Loan and Security

Agreement.

 

C.           Guarantors’

NOW THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and to induce Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce Lender to extend credit
thereunder, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Claims, Deposit Accounts, Documents, Equipment, Goods, Health-Care Insurance Receivables, Instruments, Inventory, Letter-of-Credit
Rights, Securities, Software and Supporting Obligations.

 

1.2           When
used herein the following terms have the indicated meanings:

 

“Agreement”
has the meaning set forth in the preamble hereto.

 

“Borrower
Obligations” means all of “Obligations” as defined in the Credit Agreement.

 

“Collateral”
means any and all of the following rights and assets of each Guarantor: all Accounts (including supporting obligations for
Accounts and health-care insurance receivables), Inventory, documents related to in-transit Inventory, deposit accounts, letter
of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever
located; and all of each Guarantor’s books and records relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests
in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements,
products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

“Credit Agreement”
has the meaning set forth in the recitals to this Agreement.

 

“Fixtures”
means all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by a Guarantor: plant fixtures; business fixtures; other fixtures
and storage facilities, wherever located; and all additions and accessories thereto and replacements therefor.

claims, income and other tax refunds, security and other deposits, options to purchase or sell real or personal property, rights
in all litigation presently or hereafter pending (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), insurance policies (including without
limitation key man, property damage, and business interruption insurance), payments of insurance and rights to payment of any kind.

 

“Guarantors”
has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

 

“Guarantor
Obligations” means all of each Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

“Intellectual
Property” means the collective reference to all rights, priorities and privileges relating to intellectual property,
whether arising under United States, multinational or foreign laws or otherwise, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and
all licenses and rights to use any of the foregoing and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement or other impairment
thereof, including the right to receive all Proceeds and damages therefrom.

 

“Investment

in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection, or priority of, or remedies
with respect to, Lender’s Lien on any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial UCC in effect in a jurisdiction other
than the State of Illinois, the term “UCC” will mean the Uniform Commercial UCC as enacted and in effect in
that other jurisdiction solely for purposes of the provisions relating to attachment, perfection, priority, or remedies and for
purposes of definitions relating to those provisions.

Section 2 Guaranty.

 

2.1          Guaranty.

 

(a)          Each
of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, as a primary obligor and not only a surety, guarantees

(b)          Anything
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder will in

(c)          Each
Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum permitted amount of the
liability of the Guarantor hereunder in accordance with the preceding clause (c) without impairing the guaranty contained in this

guaranty contained in this Section 2 will remain in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly

from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations
will be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which will, notwithstanding
any payment (other than any payment made by the Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected
from the Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability
of the Guarantor hereunder until the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

 

2.2          Right
of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor has paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, the Guarantor will be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of the payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution will
be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 will in no respect limit
the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Lender, and each Guarantor will remain liable to Lender for the full amount
guaranteed by the Guarantor hereunder.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

2.3           No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any
Guarantor by Lender, no Guarantor will be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Lender against the Borrower or any
other Guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by Lender for the payment of the Secured Obligations,
nor will any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in
respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all of the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full; provided
that any right of contribution or reimbursement against the Borrower or any other Guarantor (including any right under Section
2.2) will be irrevocably and automatically waived in the event the Pledged Equity or other equity securities of the Borrower
or other Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in connection with the exercise of rights and remedies by Lender
(including in connection with a consensual sale, transfer or other disposition in lieu of foreclosure). If any amount paid to any
Guarantor on account of any subrogation rights at any time when all of the Secured Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid
in full, the amount will be held by the Guarantor in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and will,
forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by
the Guarantor to Lender, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement.

 

2.4           Amendments,
etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor will remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without
any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment
of any of the Secured Obligations made by Lender may be rescinded by Lender and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the
Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guaranty
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole
or in part, as Lender may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guaranty or right of offset at any time
held by Lender for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Lender will
not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations
or for the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

2.5           Guaranty
Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of
any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Lender upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2
or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, will conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained
in this Section 2, and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors will be conclusively presumed to have
been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to
the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guaranty contained in this Section 2 will be construed
as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right
of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other
than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time is available to or is asserted by the Borrower or any other Person
against Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor)
which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Secured Obligations,
or of the Guarantor under the guaranty contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making
any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, Lender may, but will be under
no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue any rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lender to make any demand, to pursue any other rights or remedies or to collect
any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any collateral security or guaranty
or to exercise any right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any collateral security,
guaranty or right of offset, will not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and will not impair or affect
the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes
hereof “demand” includes the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to any Guarantor (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions:

(b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Secured Obligations,

original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any property,
and (e) resort to any Guarantor for payment of any of the Secured Obligations when due, whether or not Lender has resorted to any
property securing any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder or has proceeded against any other Guarantor or any
other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Secured Obligations.

 

2.6           Reinstatement.
The guaranty contained in this Section 2 will continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or
as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or
any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though the payments had not been made.

 

2.7           Payments.
Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to Lender without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim in
Dollars.

 

Section 3 Grant of
Security Interest.

 

Each Guarantor hereby
assigns and transfers to Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a lien on, a security interest in, and a right of set off against

enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce Lender to make extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Guarantor jointly

No Other Liens. Guarantor owns or has a valid leasehold interest in each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and
all Liens or claims of others other than Liens in favor of parties to the Intercreditor Agreement. No financing statement or other
public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral or Excluded Property is on file or of record in any public office,
except those that have been filed in favor of Lender and filings evidencing Permitted Liens and filings for which termination statements
have been delivered to Lender.

(b)          Guarantor
will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of
Guarantor and other reports in connection therewith as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(c)          At
any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Guarantor, Guarantor will promptly

by Lender for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted,
including (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction
with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts and Letter
of Credit Rights and any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable Lender to obtain “control”
(within the meaning of the applicable UCC) with respect thereto, in each case pursuant to documents in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender.

 

(d)          Guarantor
authorizes Lender to, at any time and from time to time, file financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto
that describe the Collateral (including describing the Collateral as “all assets” of Guarantor, or words of similar
effect), and which contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of
any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, and Guarantor agrees to furnish that information to Lender promptly
upon request. Any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be signed (to the extent signature of Guarantor
is required under applicable law) by Lender on behalf of Guarantor and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction.

 

5.2          Changes

its name, identity or corporate or limited liability company structure.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

Guarantor will also not change its jurisdiction
of organization without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

5.3          Notices.
Guarantor will advise Lender promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

of Attorney. Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the name of Guarantor or in its own name, to take, after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all actions, and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which Lender at any time deems appropriate or necessary, to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including to
do, at Lender’s option and Guarantor’s expense, at any time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect
and preserve the Collateral and the security interest therein. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and will
be irrevocable. Lender will be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and
options expressly or implicitly granted to Lender in this Agreement, and will not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay
in doing so. This power of attorney is conferred on Lender solely to protect, preserve, maintain and realize upon its security
interest in the Collateral. Lender will not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral and will not be required
to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve or maintain any lien given to secure the Collateral.

 

Section 6 Remedial
Provisions.

 

6.1           Proceeds
to be Turned Over to Lender. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all Proceeds received by any Guarantor consisting
of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items must be held by the Guarantor in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds
of the Guarantor, and must, upon the written request of Lender, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be promptly turned over
to Lender in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to Lender, if required).

 

6.2           Code
and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Lender, may exercise, in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice
of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon either Guarantor or any other Person (all and each
of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in those circumstances forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase,
or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption
of any credit risk. Lender may disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection with any lease, assignment, grant of option
or other disposition of Collateral and have no obligation to provide any warranties at that time. Lender will have the right upon
any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part
of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in either Guarantor, which right or equity is hereby waived
and released. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender will have the right to
conduct sales on either Guarantor’s premises or elsewhere and will have the right to use either Guarantor’s premises
without charge for time or times Lender deems necessary or advisable. Each Guarantor further agrees, at Lender’s request,
to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender reasonably selects, whether at Guarantor’s
premises or elsewhere. Lender will apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements, to the payment of the Secured Obligations, and only after the application and after the payment by Lender
of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to either Guarantor. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising
out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. Agent will provide Guarantors at least ten (10) days’ notice before
any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value
or is of the type customarily sold in a recognized market.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

6.3           Acts
Not Affecting Obligations. None of the following will affect the liabilities of Guarantors under this Agreement, or the
Secured Obligations, or the rights of Lender with respect to the Collateral: (a) acceptance or retention by Lender of other
security for the Secured Obligations, or for the liability of any person with respect to the Secured Obligations; (b) the
release of all or any of the Collateral or other security for any of the Secured Obligations; (c) any release, extension,
renewal, modification or compromise of any of the Secured Obligations or the liability of any obligor thereon; (d) failure
by Lender to resort to other security or any person liable for any of the Secured Obligations before resorting to the Collateral;
(e) any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations secured hereunder for any reason whatsoever; and (f) any exercise,
or failure to exercise, any remedy described in Section 6.2 or taking or failing to take any action with respect thereto.
Under no circumstances will Lender have the duty to marshal Guarantors’ assets.

 

6.4           Waiver;
Deficiency. Each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges
which it may acquire under Section 9-626 of the UCC. Each Guarantor will remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient for the Secured Obligations to be indefeasibly paid in full and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect the deficiency.

 

Section 7 Lender.

 

7.1           Duty
of Lender. Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral
in its possession will be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither
Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents will be liable for any failure to demand, collect or
realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of
any Collateral upon the request of a Guarantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral
or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral
and will not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any powers. Lender will be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents will
be responsible to Guarantors for any act or failure to act hereunder.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

7.2           Financing
Statements. Pursuant to Section 9-402 of the UCC and any other applicable law, each Guarantor authorizes Lender to file
or record financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto and other filing or recording documents or instruments
with respect to the Collateral in form and in offices as Lender determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of Lender
under this Agreement (which financing statements may describe the Collateral as “all assets” of each Guarantor, or
words of similar effect and which may contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing
office acceptance. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement will be sufficient as a financing statement or other
filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Any financing statement, continuation statement,
or amendment may be signed (to the extent signature of a Guarantor is required under applicable law) by Lender on behalf of a Guarantor.
Each Guarantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto
under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction filed by Lender prior to the date hereof.

 

Section 8 Miscellaneous.

 

8.1           Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
except in writing signed by all parties.

 

8.2           Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon Lender or Guarantors hereunder will be effected in the manner provided for in the
Credit Agreement; provided that each notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor may be made to Borrower as agent
for both Guarantors.

 

8.3           Indemnification
by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby agrees, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify, exonerate and hold Lender and
each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of Lender (each a “Lender Party”) free and
harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender Party) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Lender Party or asserted against any Lender Party by any Person (including Borrower) as a result of, or arising
out of, or relating to (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of equity interests, purchase of assets or other similar transaction
financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the
use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Material at any property
owned or leased by any Guarantor, (c) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any property owned
or leased by any Guarantor or the operations conducted thereon, (d) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations
at which any Guarantor or its respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Material
or (e) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Lender Party;
provided that the Indemnified Liabilities will not, as to any Lender Party, be available to the extent that the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender Party or (B) result from a claim brought
by any Guarantor against any Lender Party for breach in bad faith of a Lender Party’s obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, if Guarantor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on the claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each
Guarantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law. All obligations provided for in this Section 8.3 will survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Note, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents

ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

8.15        Acknowledgements.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)          it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement;

 

(b)          Lender
has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, in connection herewith
or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)          no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby
among Lender or among the Guarantors and Lender.

 

8.16        Releases.
At the time the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Collateral will be released from the Liens created
hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive the termination) of Lender and each
Guarantor hereunder will terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights
to the Collateral will revert to the Guarantors. At the request and sole expense of any Guarantor following any termination, Lender
will deliver to the Guarantors any Collateral held by Lender hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Guarantors any documents
reasonably requested to evidence the termination.

 

8.17        Obligations
and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under
this Agreement will be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability
of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense
of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Guarantor or any other Person against Lender,
or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might
be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Guarantor for the Secured Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
Lender may, but will be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue those rights and remedies as it may
have against any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations
or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lender to make any demand, to pursue any other rights or remedies
or to collect any payments from any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any collateral security or guaranty
or to exercise any right of offset, or any release of any other Guarantor or any other Person or any collateral security, guaranty
or right of offset, will not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and will not impair or affect the
rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes
hereof “demand” will include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

8.18         Reinstatement.
This Agreement will remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Guarantor
or any Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should Guarantor or any Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Guarantor’s or any Issuer’s
assets, and will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured
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 Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”,
or otherwise, all as though the payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations will be reinstated and deemed reduced only by the amount paid
and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

8.19         Joint
and Several. The obligations, covenants and agreements of Guarantors hereunder will be the joint and several obligations,
covenants and agreements of each Guarantor, whether or not specifically stated herein.
