Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 29, 2026 (the “Execution
Date”), Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), along with its wholly owned subsidiaries
Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”), Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“Alliance Cloud”), Ault Capital Group,
Inc. (“Ault Capital”), BNI Montana, LLC (“BNI Montana”), Ault Lending, LLC (“Ault Lending”),
Ault Aviation, LLC (“Ault Aviation”) and Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“AGREE” and collectively
with the Company, Sentinum, Alliance Cloud, Ault Capital, BNI Montana, Ault Lending and Ault Aviation, the “Hyperscale Guarantors”)
entered into the Eighth Amendment and Guarantor Joinder to Loan and Guaranty Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Loan
and Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 14, 2023, as previously amended (the “Loan Agreement”) with JGB Capital,
LP (“JGB Capital”), JGB Partners, LP (“JGB Partners”), JGB (Cayman) Buckeye Ltd. (“JGB
Cayman”), Deepdale Investors LLC (“Deepdale” and collectively with JGB Capital, JGB Partners and JGB Cayman,
the “Lenders”) and JGB Collateral LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Loan Agreement was amended, whereby
Ault & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ault & Co.”) borrowed an additional $21 million and issued secured
promissory notes to the Lenders in the aggregate amount of $22,580,645 (collectively, the “Notes”; and the transaction,
the “Additional Loan”). In addition, the maturity date of all loans under the Loan Agreement was extended until December
14, 2027. The Additional Loan, together with the original loans under the Loan Agreement, are secured by collateral owned by certain Hyperscale
Guarantors pursuant to a security agreement, a security and pledge agreement as well as mortgages on properties owned. The Additional
Loan is subject to those same security, pledge and mortgages.
Ault & Co. is an affiliate of the Company.
The material terms of the Loan Agreement and other transaction documents entered into in connection therewith were described in the Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 15, 2023 and are incorporated
herein by reference.
Ault & Co. intends to utilize the Additional Loan to provide a
loan to Rockwell One Holdings, LLC (“Rockwell”) in an amount equal to the outstanding amount owed by Rockwell to its
existing lender on the manufacturing facility located on a property in LaGrange, Georgia (the “Rockwell Property”).
In return, Ault & Co. will receive a promissory note that will be secured by a leasehold deed to secure debt (the “Leasehold
Mortgage”), personal and corporate guarantees and assignment of rents and agreements, among other loan documents. The Leasehold
Mortgage provides Ault & Co. a first priority security interest in the Rockwell Property. Rockwell is the tenant under a lease with
the Development Authority of LaGrange, as landlord, on the Rockwell Property. Blackrod Holdings, LLC (“Blackrod”),
an affiliate of Rockwell, manufactures and assembles its firearms and related products under the name “Remington” at
the Rockwell Property. The Rockwell Property, including the Leasehold Mortgage and various rights that Ault & Co. has pursuant to
the various loan documents, will be collateral in support of the guarantee of the repayment of the Notes. Ault & Co. has the right
to repay the Additional Loan in full, plus interest, to the Lenders, and have the security interests in the Rockwell Property released.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Hyperscale Guarantors, as well as Milton
C. Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of Ault & Co. and Scott Soura, the Manager of
Blackrod, agreed to act as guarantors for repayment of the Notes.
The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Amendment were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the
parties to the Amendment and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Amendment is incorporated
herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Amendment and not to provide investors with

to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, ratably, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans,
accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges thereon and to pay all Obligations as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Availability
and Repayment of the Loans.
(a) Availability.
Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make to Borrowers one or more advances on the Closing Date in the
principal amount equal to its Term LoanClosing
Date Advance Commitment (the “Term LoanClosing
Date Advance”) less the applicable Original Issue
Discount as provided in the Disbursement Letter. Lenders’ commitments to make the Term LoanClosing
Date Advance shall terminate upon the funding of the Term LoanClosing
Date Advance on the Closing Date.

of the Term LoanClosing
Date Advance to (i) fund part of the price for 41,500 shares of newly issued shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and
warrants of Ault AllianceHyperscale

Lending Company, LLC (the “Oree Debt”) and Helios Funds, LLC (the “Helios Debt”) in the aggregate
amount equal to $12,615,482.04. Ault AllianceHyperscale
will use the proceeds from sale of the Preferred Stock to (a) repay in full its 8.5% secured promissory notes due 2024 (“Secured
Notes”), which are owned by Borrower Representative, in an aggregate amount equal to $17,524,796.53 (the “Ault &
Co Note”), (b) repay in full all of its obligations and those of its subsidiaries under the Loan and Guaranty Agreement (the
“Prior Loan Agreement”) with JGB Capital, LP, JGB Partners, LP and JGB (Cayman) Buckeye Ltd. dated November 7, 2022,

discount of $1,580,645, resulting in actual availability of $21,000,000. Lenders’ commitments to make the Eighth Amendment Advance

an amount from the Segregated Account greater than the amount of the Eighth Amendment Advance net of the Original Issue Discount. In the
event that the conditions in Section 3.3 are not satisfied or waived, and the Eighth Amendment Advance is not released from the Segregated
Account, on or before September 30, 2026, the JGB Agent shall be under no obligation to release all or any portion of the Eight Amendment
Advance from the Segregated Account (unless the Loan Parties prepay the Eighth Amendment Advance (including the Original Issue Discount)

must be paid with other funds of the Loan Parties outside of the Segregated Account.
(c) (b)

(a) Interest
Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue interest from and after the Closing
Date, at the Applicable Rate, and Borrowers shall pay such interest monthly in arrears in cash on each Payment Date commencing on December
31, 2023.
(b) Default
Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate shall be increased by
eight percentage points (8.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses
which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Lender Expenses) but are not
paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable at such time to any of the Loans. Payment
or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment
and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies pursuant to the Loan
Documents. Each Borrower agrees that interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of
the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an Event of Default.
(c) Payment;
Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments
received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day and
(ii) the date of the making of any Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.
(d) Maximum
Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract
for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction
shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that
a Borrower has actually paid to or for the benefit of Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable
if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall
be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Loans; second, after all principal is repaid,
to the payment of accrued interest, third, to the payment of Lender Expenses and any other Obligations; and fourth, after all Obligations
are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers or paid to whomsoever may be legally entitled thereto, provided that amounts
payable to Lenders, shall be paid ratably.

2.4 Original
Issue Discount; Expenses; Monitoring Payment. Borrowers shall pay to Lenders ratably, or solely with respect to clause (c)

Nineteen dollars ($2,918,919) (and
the Eighth Amendment Advance will be funded with aggregate original discount of $1,580,645 (collectively, the “Original
Issue Discount”). The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Original Issue Discount is not a fee for services, but compensation
to the Lenders for the foregone use of money. TheAll
Original Issue Discount shall be fully earned by the Lenders on the Closing Date or
Eighth Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, and for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed part of the outstanding principal
balance.
(b) Expenses.

other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within ten (10) Business Days

Thousand dollars ($125,000) previously paid (the “Good Faith Deposit”) shall be applied towards Lender Expenses incurred
through the Closing Date.
(c) Monitoring
Payment. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay the JGB Agent a monthly monitoring payment equal to 0.29% of the
lesser of (i) the originalaggregate
outstanding principal balanceamount
of the Term Loan advanced on the Closing Dateafter
giving effect to the Eighth Amendment Advance, which wasis
$38,918,91962,199,564
or (ii) the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. Such monitoring payment shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date.
2.5 Payments;
Application of Payments; Withholding.
(a) All
payments to be made by Loan Parties under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest and all fees, charges, expenses,

received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall
be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.
(b) No
Loan Party shall have a right to specify the order or the loan accounts to which a Lender shall allocate or apply any payments made by
a Loan Party to or for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise received by such Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or
application is not expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement.
(c) The
parties hereto hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 3 hereto.

10. CHOICE
OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any
of the Loan Documents, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the State and Federal courts in New York County, City of New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to operate to preclude JGB Agent from enforcing a judgment or other court order in favor of JGB Agent or any Lender. Each
Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each
Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens
and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives
personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons,
complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the address set forth in, or
subsequently provided by such Loan Party in accordance with, Section 9 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon
the earlier to occur of Loan Parties’ actual receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper
postage prepaid. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern this Agreement.
TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH
OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING
TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH Loan Party AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM JGB Agent OR ANY lender
UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH PARTY HAS
REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
This Section 10 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.
19
11. GENERAL
PROVISIONS
11.1 Survival.
All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant
to its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known
to exist and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied
in full, in cash and all commitments to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement have terminated.
11.2 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Loan
Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without JGB Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted
or withheld in JGB Agent’s discretion). Each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Loan Parties, to sell, transfer,
assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are
governed by the terms thereof).
(b) Assignment
by Lenders. Each Lender may at any time assign to one or more eligible assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to any restrictions on such
assignment set forth in clause (a) above and the other Loan Documents. Each such Lender shall notify the JGB Agent of such assignment
and deliver to the JGB Agent a copy of any assignment and assumption agreement entered into in connection thereto.
(c) Register;
Participant Register. JGB Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices
in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts
(and stated interest) of the Term Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, JGB Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties, any Lender and JGB Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of
doubt, JGB Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
11.3 Indemnification.
Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold JGB Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort,
including strict liability in tort) (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any third party in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by or resulting from,
(x) such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons. This Section
11.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given
shall have run and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall survive the resignation or replacement of JGB Agent. This Section 11.3
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
20
11.4 Borrower
Liability. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Loans made hereunder, regardless of which
Borrower actually receives said Loan, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Loans. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship
defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require JGB Agent to: (i) proceed against any
Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. JGB Agent may exercise or
not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or
non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related
document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating
Borrower to the rights of JGB Agent under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from
any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made
by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit
from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited
under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall
hold such payment in trust for Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to JGB Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders,
for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
11.5 Time
of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
11.6 Severability
of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
11.7 Intentionally
Omitted.
11.8 Amendments
in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination
of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be effective except, pursuant to an agreement in writing by the parties thereto, and
in case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by Loan Parties, JGB Agent, the Required Lenders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance
or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document.
Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other
circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The
Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into
the Loan Documents.
11.9 Counterparts;
Electronic Execution of Documents. This Agreement and any other Loan Documents, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to
the terms thereof, may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when
executed and delivered, is of the same force and effect as an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually
executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of any Loan Document by electronic means including by email delivery of a “.pdf” format data file shall
be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of such Loan Document.
11.10 Publicity.
Other than with respect to ‘deal tombstones’, neither the Loan Parties nor the Lenders shall publicize or use the other’s
name or logo, or hyperlink to the other’ website, describe the relationship of the Loan Parties to the Lenders or the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public
relations materials or on its web site (together, the “Publicity Materials”) without such Loan Party or Lender, as
applicable, providing prior written notice to the other that is the subject of the proposed Publicity Materials, together with a draft
(or, if Publicity Materials are not proposed to be delivered in written form, an outline of the content to be included) so as to provide
the recipient a reasonable opportunity to review prior to publication, and each party agrees, in connection with any Publicity Materials
proposed by a party to reasonably consider requested changes or corrections requested by the party that is the subject of such Publicity
Materials in good faith, and upon request, to provide the final form prior to publication or other dissemination.
21
11.11 Borrower
Representative. Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints Borrower Representative to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of any Loan). Each
of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrower
Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such
document executed by Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered hereunder to Borrower Representative
shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (c) JGB Agent and any Lender shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely
on) any document or agreement executed by Borrower Representative on behalf of Borrowers (or any of them). Borrowers must act through
the Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Agreement requires any Borrower to interact in any manner with JGB Agent or any Lender,
such Borrower shall do so through Borrower Representative.
11.12 Captions.
The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
11.13 Construction
of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation
of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty
to exist.
11.14 Relationship.
The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend
to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those
of parties to an arm’s-length contract.
11.15 Third
Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under
or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns;
(b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not
an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement, in each case other than Indemnified
Persons.
11.16 Appointment
of JGB Agent.
(a) Each
Lender hereby appoints JGB Agent to act on behalf of Lenders as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and appoints JGB Agent to act on behalf of Lenders as collateral agent, and to hold and enforce any and all Liens on the Collateral granted
pursuant thereto by the applicable Loan Parties to secure the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 11.16 are solely for
the benefit of JGB Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, JGB Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed
to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other Person. JGB Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together
with such powers as are reasonably related thereto. The duties of JGB Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and JGB Agent
shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect
of any Lender.
(b) If
JGB Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, then JGB Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until
it shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders, and JGB Agent shall incur no liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
JGB Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document for any reason.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against JGB Agent as a result of JGB Agent’s
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Lenders.
(c) JGB
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed
by JGB Agent. JGB Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective related parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11.16 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
related parties of JGB Agent and any such sub-agent. JGB Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent
except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that JGB Agent acted with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
22
(d) Neither
JGB Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages
solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, JGB Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent chartered accountants and
other experts and consultants selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, experts or consultants; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any
Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect
the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument
or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email) believed by it to
be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
(e) With
respect to its Commitments and Loans hereunder, JGB Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not JGB Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include JGB Agent in its individual capacity (to the extent it holds any Obligations owing
to Lenders or Commitments hereunder). JGB Agent and each of its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind
of business with, any Loan Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party
or any such Affiliate, all as if JGB Agent was not JGB Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. JGB Agent and its Affiliates
may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having
to account for the same to Lenders.
(f) Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon JGB Agent or any other Lender, made its own credit and financial
analysis of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon JGB Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential
conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents
to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.
(g) Each
Lender agrees to indemnify JGB Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties
hereunder), ratably according to its respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against JGB Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken
or omitted by JGB Agent in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from
JGB Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse JGB Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable and documented counsel fees) incurred by JGB Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that JGB Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by the Loan Parties.
23
(h) JGB
Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon
any such resignation, Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor JGB Agent. If no successor JGB Agent shall have been so appointed
by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after JGB Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then
JGB Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor JGB Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment,
or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such
commercial bank or financial institution has combined capital of at least $300,000,000. If no successor JGB Agent has been appointed pursuant
to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning JGB Agent, such resignation
shall become effective and Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of JGB Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders
appoint a successor JGB Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as JGB Agent hereunder by a successor JGB Agent,
such successor JGB Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning JGB Agent.
Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as JGB Agent hereunder by a successor JGB Agent or the effective date of the resigning
JGB Agent’s resignation, the resigning JGB Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity, expense reimbursement or other rights in favor of such resigning JGB Agent shall continue.
After any resigning JGB Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11.16 shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was JGB Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, as long as JGB is a Lender pursuant to this Agreement, JGB Collateral LLC shall not resign as JGB Agent unless a successor
JGB Agent is appointed concurrently with such resignation, which successor JGB Agent shall have the wherewithal to perform, and shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning JGB Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
(i) In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of JGB Agent, each Lender and each holder of any Obligation
is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account
of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary)
and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender
or holder of any Obligation exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of
its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations
shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s
Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with
each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating
to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any
Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may
sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (ii) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation
in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ Lien, counterclaim
or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other
Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment
otherwise received is thereafter recovered from Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that
Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.
(j) Nothing
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require JGB Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve
any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Lender
as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that JGB Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Lender
and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, JGB Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account
all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
(k) If
JGB Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received
by such JGB Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received thereby, then such JGB Agent will be entitled to recover such
amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(l) If
JGB Agent determines at any time that any amount received thereby under this Agreement shall be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other
Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, JGB Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to JGB Agent
on demand any portion of such amount that JGB Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as JGB
Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
24
(m) JGB
Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any written notice of Event of Default received by JGB Agent from, or delivered
by JGB Agent to, any Loan Party; provided, however, that JGB Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to
do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable solely to JGB Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(n) Anything
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and with
JGB Agent that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it being the intent
of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert
and at the direction or with the consent of JGB Agent at the request of Required Lenders.
11.17 Continuation
of Obligations; No Novation. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Eighth Amendment and the Eighth Amendment Advance do not constitute
a novation, replacement or extinguishment of the Obligations existing prior to the Eighth Amendment Effective Date. The Eighth Amendment
and the Eighth Amendment Advance constitute a continuation of the original Obligations in all respects, and the Obligations as modified
by the Eighth Amendment remain in full force and effect as a single, continuous obligation.
11.18 Reaffirmation
of Security Documents. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its obligations under each Security Document to which it is a party. Each
Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) each Security Document is hereby deemed to incorporate the Eighth Amendment by reference,
(b) all Security Documents continue in full force and effect and continue to secure all Obligations, including the Eighth Amendment Advance,
and (c) the Liens and security interests granted under the Security Documents remain valid, perfected and enforceable and are not impaired,
reduced or otherwise affected by the Eighth Amendment or the Eighth Amendment Advance.
11.19 Sixth
Amendment Warrants. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with the Eighth Amendment on the Eighth Amendment Effective
Date, each Sixth Amendment Warrant is amended as follows:
(a) The
reference to $1,525,000 referenced in clause (x) of Section 3.9 of the Sixth Amendment Warrant issued to JGB (Cayman) Buckeye Ltd is replaced

Guarantor or other Person liable in respect of the Obligations, or all or any portion of the Collateral; and
(b) JGB
Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may enforce this guaranty notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Secured Party and any
Loan Party with respect to the existence of any Event of Default.
25
12.2 Maximum
Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor

any Secured Party from a Borrower, Guarantor, 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 Obligations shall be deemed to modify,
reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment, remain liable

or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the Obligations

JGB Agent and/or the Lender may collect from such Guarantor even if the JGB Agent and/or the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property
Collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from any Borrower or any other guarantor or other Loan Party. This
is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights, benefits and defenses such Guarantor may have because the Borrower's or any
other guarantor's or other Loan Party's obligations are secured by real property.
12.9 Modifications

Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment or performance of the Obligations from any Person or to realize upon the Collateral,
and (f) Secured Parties may request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations and of any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities
of a Borrower or any other Loan Party to any Secured Party and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate,

11.9), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Default or Event of Default, as applicable. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which any Secured
Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
12.12 Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification. Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse Secured Parties for all its documented and reasonable costs and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under this guaranty or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees

with respect to any Loan Party or any other Person, (d) any acceleration of the Obligations, or (e) any continuing indebtedness under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. From and after the Rockwell Release Date, the Soura Guarantor shall have no liability of any
kind under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and JGB Agent and the Lenders shall (x) provide the Soura Guarantor with written
