For clarification purposes, the Lender and the Borrower expressly state that the amounts obtained by the Borrower in the context of a Private Placement will not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating the Minimum Free Cash.

The Parties agree that the accrued Interest shall be capitalized on the end date of each Interest Period and shall be paid on the Maturity Date as part of the principal of the Loan due.
