“Inventory Formula Amount: the lesser of (a) 40% of the Value of Eligible Inventory, (b) 85% of the NOLV Percentage of the Value of Eligible Inventory; and (c) $10,000,000; provided, that, clause (b) herein shall only apply to the extent Agent has received a field examination and appraisal in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and conducted by an appraiser or field examiner, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to Agent.”
“NOLV Percentage: the net orderly liquidation value of Inventory, expressed as a percentage, expected to be realized at an orderly, negotiated sale held within a reasonable period of time, net of all liquidation expenses, as determined from the most recent appraisal of the applicable Borrower’s Inventory performed by an appraiser and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent.”
2
“Accounts Formula Amount: (a) if the Dilution Percent is equal to or less than 2.50%, 90% of the Value of Eligible Accounts, and (b) if the Dilution Percent is greater than 2.50%, 85% of the Value of Eligible Accounts.”
“Applicable Margin: the margin set forth below, as determined by the average daily Availability for the last Fiscal Quarter:
Level |
Average Daily Availability |
Base Rate Loans |
BSBY Loans |
I |
> 66.66% of the Borrowing Base |
0.50% |
1.50% |
II |
< 66.66% of the Borrowing Base and > 33.33% of the Borrowing Base |
0.75% |
1.75% |
III |
< 33.33% of the Borrowing Base |
1.00% |
2.00% |
Margins shall be subject to increase or decrease by Agent based on Agent’s calculation of average daily Availability on the first day of the calendar month following each Fiscal Quarter end. If Agent is unable to calculate average daily Availability for a Fiscal Quarter due to Borrowers’ failure to deliver any Borrowing Base Report when required hereunder, then, at the option of Agent or Required Lenders, margins shall be determined as if Level III were applicable until the first day of the calendar month following its receipt.”
“Borrowing Base: on any date of determination, an amount calculated based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and reflected on Agent’s system of record, equal to the lesser of:
(a) the aggregate Commitments; or
(b) the sum of (i) the Accounts Formula Amount, plus (ii) the Inventory Formula Amount, plus (iii) the Cash Component, minus (iv) the Availability Reserve.”
“Cash Dominion Trigger Period: the period (a) commencing upon either (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) the occurrence of five (5) consecutive Business Days on which Availability is less than the greater of (x) 15% of the Borrowing Base and (y) $5,000,000; and (b) continuing until, during each of the preceding thirty (30) consecutive days, (i) no Event of

“Guarantors: (a) Inari Medical International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (b) Inari Medical Latin America, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (c) each other Person that guarantees payment or performance of Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company shall be a Guarantor.”

(a) as of the date of any such action and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;
(b) either:

4
(c) the Agent shall have received a certificate from a Senior Officer of the Borrower Agent certifying as to compliance and satisfaction with the preceding clauses and demonstrating in detail the calculations required thereunder.”
“(o) the sale, license or other transfer of Intellectual Property rights to any Foreign Subsidiary or joint venture partner; provided, that if such sale, license or transfer is made to a Person that is not an Obligor, the transferor retains rights to use such Intellectual Property and the transferee enters into a Lien Waiver, and (p) other Asset Dispositions agreed to by Agent in writing in its Permitted Discretion.”
“(ii) [Reserved];”
“Reporting Trigger Period: the period (a) commencing on any day that (i) an Event of Default occurs, (ii) Availability is less than the greater of (x) 17.5% of the Borrowing Base and (y) $6,000,000 for five (5) consecutive Business Days with such period commencing on the first such Business Day that such trigger is met for the five (5) proceeding Business Days and; and (b) continuing until, during each of the preceding thirty (30) consecutive days, (i) no Event of Default has existed, and (ii) Availability has been greater than or equal to the greater of (x) 17.5% of the Borrowing Base and (y) $6,000,000.”

“2.1.7 Increase in Commitments. Borrowers may request an increase in Commitments from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to Agent) notice to Agent, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 and is offered on the same terms as existing Commitments, (b) total increases under this Section do not exceed $120,000,000 and no more than three (3) increases are made and (c) any other fees or expenses required to be paid by Borrowers in connection with such increase shall be mutually agreed. Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Xxxxxxx fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder. Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Total Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Xxxxxxx and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, provided (i) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at such time; and (ii) to the extent Collateral includes any Real Estate, flood insurance diligence and documentation have been completed as required by all Flood Laws or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to all Lenders. Agent, Borrowers, and the new and existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Commitments. On the effective date of an increase, the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Agent as necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted shares of Commitments.”

Borrowers shall pay Agent’s then standard charges for examination activities, including charges for its internal
6
examination and appraisal groups, as well as the charges of any third party used for such purposes. No Borrowing Base calculation shall include Collateral acquired in a Permitted Acquisition or otherwise outside the Ordinary Course of Business until completion of applicable field examinations and appraisals (which shall not be included in the limits provided above) satisfactory to Agent.”

The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Obligors.

(d) Borrowings, Conversions, Continuations and Prepayments of BSBY Loans. In addition to any other borrowing or prepayment requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement:
(i) Notice of Borrowing of BSBY Loans. For any Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a BSBY Loan, Borrower Agent shall deliver a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable, to Agent by 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date. Notices received by Agent after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify (A) the amount, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether such Borrowing, conversion or continuation is to be made as a BSBY Loan, and (D) the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).

No more than 5 Borrowings of BSBY Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all BSBY Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated and considered one Borrowing.
(ii) Interest Periods. Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) of one, three or six months (in each case, subject to availability) to apply to each BSBY Loan; provided, that (a) the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan
Exhibit D
to
Fourth Amendment and Joinder to Loan, Guaranty And Security Agreement
is made or continued as, or converted into, a BSBY Loan and shall expire one, three or six months thereafter, as applicable; (b) if any Interest Period begins on the last day of a calendar month or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end, or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of the end month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the end month’s last Business Day; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and (c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the maturity date of the credit facility.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, any amendment implementing such changes shall be effective without further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. Agent shall post each amendment to Borrower Agent and Lenders promptly after it becomes effective.
(e) Interest. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement with respect to the Default Rate, each BSBY Loan shall bear interest at the BSBY Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin. Interest on each BSBY Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times and in such manner as specified in Section 3.1.1(c) of the Loan Agreement.
(f) Computations. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement to the contrary (including Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement), computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the BSBY Rate) shall be computed for actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. All other interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(g) Inability to Determine Rates; Successor Rates.
(i) Inability to Determine Rate. If in connection with any request for a BSBY Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (A) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (I) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2(g)(ii), and the circumstances under Section 2(g)(ii)(A) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), or (II) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (B) Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Loan does not adequately and fairly
Exhibit D
to
Fourth Amendment and Joinder to Loan, Guaranty And Security Agreement
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrowers and Lenders in writing. Thereafter, (1) the obligation of Lenders to make, maintain, or convert Base Rate Loans to, BSBY Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected BSBY Loans or Interest Periods), and (2) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY Rate component of Base Rate, the utilization of such component in determining Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Agent (or, in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described above, until Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of BSBY Loans (to the extent of the affected BSBY Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans, and (y) any outstanding BSBY Loans shall convert to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods.
(ii) Successor Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, if Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower Agent) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one, three and six month interest periods of BSBY Rate, including because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(B) Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent, Bloomberg or such administrator with respect to its publication of BSBY Rate, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one, three and six month interest periods of BSBY Rate or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided, that at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Agent that will continue to provide such interest periods of BSBY Rate after such specific date (the latest date on which one, three and six month interest periods of BSBY Rate or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
then, on a date and time determined by Agent (any such date, “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (b) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any other applicable Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by Agent, in each case, without any

amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document (“Successor Rate”):
(I) Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and
(II) Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment;
provided, that if initially the BSBY Rate is replaced with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment and, subsequent to such replacement, Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for Agent in its discretion, and Agent notifies Borrower Agent and Lenders of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than 30 days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment. If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest will be payable on a monthly basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (1) if Agent determines that neither of the alternatives in clauses (I) and (II) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date or (2) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section (g)(ii)(A) or (B) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, Agent and Borrower Agent may amend the Loan Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service selected by Agent from time to time in its discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Agent posts such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Required Lenders deliver to Agent written notice that Required Lenders object to the amendment.
Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify in writing Borrowers and Lenders of implementation of any Successor Rate. A Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that to the extent market practice is not administratively feasible for Agent, the Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero (0), the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero (0) for all purposes of the Loan Documents.
