The amount and date of each Revolving Credit Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period (if any), and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank's records, which records will be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure by the Bank to record any such information shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of such Advance, all interest accrued thereon and any amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c)    Requests for Advances and Requests for Refundings and Conversions of Advances. Borrower may request an Advance, and may request to refund any Advance in the same type of Advance or convert any Advance to any other type of Advance only after delivery to Bank of a Request for Advance executed by an authorized officer of Borrower, subject to the following and to the remaining provisions hereof:

SECTION 3. SECURITY AND GUARANTY.

The obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be secured and guaranteed as provided in this Section 3, subject to the provisions set forth below.

(b)    (i) In the event that any real or personal property of the Borrower becomes subject to a Lien (in violation of this Agreement) which is not a Permitted Lien and which Lien is not removed within thirty (30) days of Borrower's receipt of notice of any Lien (and without regard to any additional cure period) or (ii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which has not otherwise been cured or waived at any time, the Bank shall have the right after written notice to Comerica Bank and Bank of America, N.A. (with a copy to Borrower) to become secured by a first perfected (as set forth below) security interest in and mortgage of all the real and personal property of the Borrower now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds thereof. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank such mortgages and security agreements as the Bank shall require and as are customary for a transaction of that type, covering said real and personal property in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank (the “Security Documents”), securing the foregoing obligations to the full extent permitted under applicable law. The Security Documents shall be sufficient, when notice thereof is properly filed or recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions, to grant to the Bank a first perfected security interest in and lien on the Borrower's property, subject to no prior Liens or encumbrances except as expressly permitted herein, except the equal and ratable lien, if any, to be granted pursuant to the Comerica Loan Agreement and the Bank of America Loan Agreement, or except as the Bank permits in writing. The Borrower agrees to execute or otherwise provide to the Bank any and all financing statements, modifications, and other agreements or consents required by the Bank now or in the future to perfect Bank's interest in the collateral and otherwise in connection therewith. The grant of a lien and security interest pursuant to this Section shall not cure any violation of this Agreement; any such violation shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder taking into account the expiration of any applicable cure period.

3.2    Guaranty. Payment of the Revolving Credit Note, any other obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, presently existing or hereafter arising, shall be guaranteed by each of the Restricted Subsidiaries as set forth in the Continuing and Unconditional Guaranty dated as of the date hereof executed by each Restricted Subsidiary (the “Guaranty”). In the event of the designation of any additional Restricted Subsidiaries, a joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” shall be executed and delivered to the Bank by each such additional Restricted Subsidiary (also, a “Guaranty”), together with such supporting attorney's opinion, if requested by Lender, evidence of corporate authorization, and other instruments and documents as the Bank may reasonably request.

4.1    Corporate Existence; Power; Compliance with Law; Restricted Subsidiaries; Name History. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority (corporate and otherwise) to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, earnings, prospects, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. To their knowledge, each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has all licenses and permits necessary to carry on and conduct its business in all states and localities wherein it now operates and is in compliance with all other requirements of law, rule, or regulation applicable to it and to its business, if the failure to possess such licenses and permits or to so comply, either individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, earnings, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The Borrower is a Subsidiary of the Parent. All of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower are listed on Schedule 1.1.B hereto. None of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries have merged, changed its name, or done business under a fictitious name during the past five (5) years, except as set forth in Schedule 1.1.B hereto.

All such outstanding shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. No shares of common stock are held in the treasury of the Borrower. There are no subscriptions, options, warrants, or calls relating to the issuance by the Borrower of any shares of common stock, including any right of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security or other instrument. There are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of the common stock of the Borrower. The Borrower is not subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its common stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for any of its common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower are owned beneficially and of record by the Parent.

The execution, delivery, and performance by the Parent, the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to be executed by it will not contravene, conflict with, result in the breach of, or constitute a violation of or default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any property or assets of such Person, pursuant to the constituent documents or other governing instruments of such Person, or any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower, the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary is a party, or by which such Person or its property may be bound or affected which has a material adverse effect on the business earnings, prospects, properties, or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. No consent, license, or authorization of, or filing with, or notice to, any Person or entity (including, without limitation, any governmental authority), is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity, or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the transactions as contemplated thereunder, except for consents, licenses, authorizations, filings, and notices obtained or performed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and of which the Bank has been provided written notice, or referred to or disclosed in the Loan Documents. Any such consents, licenses, authorizations, filings, or notices remain in full force and effect.

4.4    Enforceable Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute legal, valid, and binding agreements enforceable against the respective parties thereto and any property described therein in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity.

(a)    The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower as of October 31, 2021 and the consolidated financial statements of the Parent as of October 31, 2021, copies of which have been furnished to the Bank, fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Parent, respectively, as at the date of the financial statements, and fairly present the results of the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Parent for the period covered thereby.

(b)    Neither the Borrower, nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, has any direct or contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, long-term leases, or unusual forward or long-term commitments as of the date of this Agreement which, either individually or in the aggregate, are or are reasonably likely to be material to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, which are not disclosed by provided for, or reserved against in the foregoing financial statements or referred to in notes thereto, other than liabilities incurred since October 31, 2021 in the ordinary course of business which in the aggregate have no material adverse effect on the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Borrower does not know of any basis for any material unrealized or anticipated losses of the Borrower. The financial statements furnished to the Bank have been prepared in accordance with GAAP maintained throughout the period involved. There has been no material adverse change in the business, earnings, prospects, properties, or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since the date of such financial statements.

4.6    No Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.6 hereto, there is no suit or proceeding at law or in equity or other proceeding or investigation (including proceedings by or before any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative commission, board or bureau, or other administrative agency) pending, or to the best knowledge of the Borrower threatened, by or against or involving the Parent, the Borrower, or any Subsidiary, or against any of their respective properties, existence, or revenues which, individually or in the aggregate, (a) if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the properties, assets, or business, or on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) materially impair the right or ability of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to carry on their operations substantially as now conducted or as anticipated to be conducted in the future, (c) which would substantially impair the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, or, regardless of outcome, which questions the validity of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (d) regardless of outcome, which would be required to be disclosed in notes to any balance sheet as of the date hereof of the Borrower prepared in reasonable detail in accordance with GAAP.

4.8    Disclosure and No Untrue Statements. No representation or warranty made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or which will be made by the Borrower from time to time in connection with the Loan Documents (a) contains or will contain any misrepresentation or untrue statement of any material fact, or (b) omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. There is no fact (excluding information relating to world or national economic, social, or political conditions generally) known to any Responsible Officer of Borrower which materially adversely affects, or which would in the future materially adversely affect, the business, assets, properties, or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially affects, or which might in the future materially adversely affect, the ability of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to perform their obligations under the Loan Documents, or except as set forth or referred to in the Loan Documents or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Bank.

All such properties and assets are subject to no Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Schedule 1.1.A accurately lists (i) each financing statement, deed, agreement, or other instrument in effect on the date hereof which has been filed, recorded, or registered pursuant to any United States federal, state, or local law or regulation that names the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as debtor or lessee or as the grantor or the transferor of the interest created thereby, and (ii) as to each such financing statement, deed, agreement, or other instrument, the names of the debtor, lessee, grantor, or transferor and the secured party, lessor, grantee, or transferee and the name of the jurisdiction in which such financing statement, deed, agreement or other instrument has been filed, recorded, or registered.

4.11    Payment of Taxes. Each of the Borrower, and the Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all, federal, state, and local tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns or on any assessment received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due, other than taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. No controversy in respect of additional taxes of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, except as shown on the Borrower's financial statements described in Section 4.5 hereof or in notes thereto, and other than amounts in respect of business carried on by the Borrower, and the Subsidiaries in the ordinary course since the date of such financial statements, and other than amounts which, either individually or in the aggregate, do not materially and adversely affect, and are not likely to materially and adversely affect, the business, earnings, prospects, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The ability of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to declare, make, or pay dividends in respect of any shares of its common stock is not expressly limited by the provisions of any agreement or instrument other than the Comerica Loan Agreement and the Bank of America Loan Agreement. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is in full compliance with and is not in default in the performance, observance, or fulfillment of any obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party, other than any defaults which individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, earnings, prospects, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Further, each of the Restricted Subsidiaries and the Borrower agree that they shall not transfer any and all patents, patent rights, licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade name, trade name rights and copyrights and all rights to the foregoing presently held by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person or entity including the Parent, however, transfers between (a) Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries; (b) Restricted Subsidiaries; and (c) Restricted Subsidiaries and Borrower shall be permitted.

(a)    Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the incurrence of the indebtedness hereunder by the Borrower, the application by the Borrower of the proceeds thereof, nor the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, constitutes or will constitute a “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA).

Neither the Parent, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any ERISA

Affiliate, the PBGC, nor any other Person has instituted any proceedings or taken any other action to terminate any Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), nor (in the case of the Parent, the Borrower, or any Subsidiary) has any present intention of terminating any Pension Plan.

(d)    Except with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used in the funding of such Pension Plan, which assumptions are reasonable, and determined as of the last day of the most recent plan year of such Pension Plan for which an annual report has been filed with the IRS, did not exceed the current fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan as of such last day.

(b)    Restricted Subsidiaries may make Distributions to the Borrower or to other Restricted Subsidiaries.

7.7    Regulation U. The Borrower will not permit any part of the proceeds of the loan or loans made pursuant to this Agreement to be used to purchase or carry or to reduce or retire any loan incurred to purchase or carry any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or to be used for any other purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation U or other applicable regulation.

7.8    Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, or exchange of any property, the rendering of any services, or the payment of management fees) with any Affiliate, except:

(i) transactions in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, and in good faith and upon commercially reasonable terms that are no less favorable to it than it would obtain in a comparable arm's length transaction with a Person other than an Affiliate; and (ii) transactions between the Borrower and any wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary which are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

7.9    Limitation on Nature of Business. The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries will remain engaged in lines of business related to the businesses in which the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are currently engaged.

7.10    Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not hereafter designate any entity as a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder (and any such designation shall be without effect hereunder) unless:

(i)    The board of directors of the Borrower shall have duly adopted a resolution approving such designation, and the Bank shall have received a copy of such resolution certified by the secretary or assistant secretary of the company;

(ii)    Such entity satisfies the requirements of the definition of “Restricted Subsidiary” set forth in this Agreement;

(iii)    No Event of Default shall exist prior to, as a result of, or immediately after giving effect to, such designation;

(iv)    Immediately after such designation and including such entity in such determination, the Borrower shall be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Funded Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement;

               (vi)    The Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days after such designation, give notice to the Bank of the fact of such designation, the name, jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, principal business address, and business of such newly-designated Restricted Subsidiary, and certifications as to and computations showing compliance with the requirements of this Section, and shall deliver to the Bank with such notice the Guaranty and counsel opinion, if any; provided, however, that, for the purposes of this Section, any computation of any financial covenant in connection with the determination of the absence of an Event of Default or the ability of the Borrower to incur Indebtedness after giving effect to the designation of a corporation as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be made on a pro forma basis, and, without limitation, shall include the Indebtedness of such corporation in any such computation for the relevant period in the case of any such designation and include the net income or EBITDA of such corporation in such computation in the case of any such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, to the extent that a Subsidiary is not designated a Restricted Subsidiary within ninety (90) days after the day on which such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower, such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any designation of a Person as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be irrevocable.

7.11    Changes in Governing Documents, Accounting Methods, Fiscal Year. The Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, amend in any respect its constituent documents from that in existence on the date of this Agreement or change its respective accounting methods or practices, its depreciation or amortization policy or rates, or its fiscal year end from that in existence as of the date of the financial statements provided to the Bank pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, except as required to comply with law or with GAAP.

The Borrower agrees that throughout the term of the Revolving Credit:

(a)    Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time, directly or indirectly, incur, create, assume, guarantee or become liable in any manner with respect to any Funded Debt unless, immediately after giving effect to such incurrence: (i) the ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt (determined immediately after giving effect to such incurrence) to EBITDA (for the four (4) most recent full fiscal quarters) shall be equal to or less than 3.50 to 1.00; and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist.

(b)    For purposes of this Section 7.12, if Funded Debt is incurred by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of acquiring Voting Stock of or any assets of any Person which is not a Restricted Subsidiary and, immediately after and giving effect to such acquisition, such Person will be a Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of an acquisition of Voting Stock) or such assets will be owned by Borrower of a Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of an acquisition of assets), then the amounts of EBITDA of such Person or of EBITDA attributable to such assets which would have been included in EBITDA if such Person had been a Restricted Subsidiary or such assets had been owned by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary during the relevant fiscal quarters shall be included in EBITDA for the relevant fiscal quarters for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.12.

No right, power, or remedy conferred upon the Bank by the Loan Documents shall be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy referred to therein or now or hereafter available at law or in equity.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately upon demand by Bank deposit with Bank cash collateral in the amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn at any time under any Letter of Credit then outstanding.

SECTION 10. CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS; PRICING GRID.

10.1    Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any SOFR-based Advance (or converts or refunds, or attempts to convert or refund any such Advance) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if Borrower fails to borrow, refund or convert any SOFR- based Advance after notice has been given by Borrower to Bank in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance, or if Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a SOFR-based Advance when due, Borrower shall reimburse Bank on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Bank as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by Borrower to Bank may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period in the repurchase market. Calculation of any amounts payable to Bank under this paragraph shall be made as though such Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund any SOFR- based Advance in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Borrower, Bank shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.

10.5    Increased Cost of Advances. In the event that any applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not currently applicable to Bank or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof:

(a)    shall subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance or any Note or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest on any Advance or the Revolving Credit Note or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income or revenues of Bank imposed by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Bank's principal executive office is located); or

(b)    shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank or shall impose on Bank any other condition affecting any Advance or the Revolving Credit Note; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to Bank of making, funding or maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this Agreement or under the Revolving Credit Note then Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) 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 regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a “change in law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

10.6    Other Increased Costs. In the event that after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank) and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of Bank's obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank's (or such controlling corporation's) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to Bank, from time to time, upon request by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of Bank's obligations or Advances hereunder, provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) 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 regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. A statement as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank, shall be submitted by Bank to the Borrower, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 10.6 and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error in computation.

10.7    Margin Adjustment. Adjustments to the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage and the Applicable Letter of Credit Percentage, based on Schedule 10.7, shall be implemented on a quarterly basis as follows:

(a)    Such adjustments shall be given prospective effect only, effective as to all Advances outstanding hereunder, the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage and the Applicable Letter of Credit Percentage, upon the date of delivery of the financial statements under Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) hereunder and the Certificate of Compliance under Section 6.1(e) hereof, in each case establishing applicability of the appropriate adjustment and in each case with no retroactivity or claw-back. If Borrower shall fail timely to deliver such financial statements or the Certificate of Compliance and such failure continues for three (3) days, then (but without affecting the Event of Default resulting therefrom) from the date delivery of such financial statements and report was required until such financial statements and report are delivered, the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage and Applicable Letter of Credit Percentage shall be at the highest level on the pricing grid attached to this Agreement as Schedule 10.7.

(b)    From the date hereof until the required date of delivery (or, if earlier, delivery) of the financial statements under Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b) hereof, as applicable, and the Certificate of Compliance under Section 6.1(e) hereof, for the fiscal quarter ending November 2, 2020, the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage and Applicable Fee Percentage shall be those set forth under the Level I column of the pricing matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 10.7. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage and Applicable Fee Percentage shall be based upon the quarterly financial statements and Certificate of Compliance, subject to recalculation as provided in Section 10.7(a) above.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1    Course of Dealing; Amendment; Supplemental Agreements. No course of dealing between the parties hereto shall be effective to amend, modify, or change any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom such change is to be enforced. The parties hereto may, subject to the provisions of this Section, from time to time, enter into written agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder.

The Bank may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, waive any Event of Default and its consequences, or any default in the performance or observance of any condition, covenant, or other term hereof and its consequences. Any such waiver shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, the Borrower and the Bank shall be restored to their former positions prior to such Event of Default or default and shall have the same rights as they had thereto, and any Event of Default or default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or default or impair any right consequent thereto.

11.4    Notices. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in the other Loan Documents, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been given or made when delivered by hand, or when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows or to such other address as may be hereafter designated in writing by one party to the other:

except in cases where it is expressly herein provided that such notice, request, or demand is not effective until received by the party to whom it is addressed.

11.5    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No omission or failure of the Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising by the Bank of any right, power, or privilege hereunder, shall impair such right, power, or privilege, shall operate as a waiver thereof or be construed to be a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law, and the warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements made therein shall be cumulative, except in the case of irreconcilable inconsistency, in which case the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

11.6    Reliance Upon, Survival of, and Materiality of Representations and Warranties, Agreements, and Covenants. All representations and warranties, agreements, and covenants made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents are material and shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Bank and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the loan or loans herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any indebtedness is owed to the Bank by the Borrower pursuant hereto or so long as there shall be any commitment by the Bank to make loans to the Borrower hereunder. All statements contained in any certificate to the Bank by Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder.

11.7    Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to set off, appropriate, and apply any and all monies, securities and other property of the Borrower and all proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or received by, or in transit to, the Bank from or for the Borrower, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits of the Borrower, if any, at the Bank or all items hereinabove referred to against all indebtedness of the Borrower owed to the Bank, whether under the Loan Documents or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against such items immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default although made or entered on its books subsequent thereof.

11.8    Severability and Enforceability of Provisions. If any one or more of the provisions of the Loan Documents is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect as to one or more of the parties, all remaining provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and the validity, legality, and enforceability thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law that renders any provision hereof invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect.

11.9         Payment of Expenses, Including Attorneys' Fees and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a)    to pay or reimburse the Bank for all its reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of, and any amendment,supplement, or modification to, or waiver or consent under, the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of counsel for the Bank, taxes, and all recording or filing fees, (b) except as expressly provided otherwise herein, to pay or reimburse the Bank for all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the administration, supervision, collection, or enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Bank, including attorneys' fees out of court, in trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise, (c) without limiting the generality of provision (a) hereof, to pay or reimburse the Bank for, and indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against liability for, any and all documentary stamp taxes, non-recurring intangible taxes, or other taxes, together with any interest, penalties, or other liabilities in connection therewith, that the Bank now or hereafter determines, are payable with respect to the Loan Documents, the obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents, any Advances under the Loan Documents, and any guaranties or mortgages or other security instruments, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Bank harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of the Loan Documents with the exception of the willful or gross negligence of the Bank.

11.14    Law of Florida. This Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note have been delivered at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code, other personal property law or real property law of a jurisdiction where Collateral is located is applicable and except as and to the extent expressed to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents.
