The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Facility No. 1 is subject to a borrowing base in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Pledge Agreement in favor of the Bank as required under this Agreement. The Borrower has been informed of the terms of such borrowing base, which include requirements to maintain collateral with an adequate loan value and grant to the Bank the right to issue a margin call in the event such requirements are not met. The collateral may also secure other indebtedness or obligations, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower and/or any other third party to the Bank (collectively, the "Other Indebtedness"). The Other Indebtedness will be aggregated with this Facility for the purposes of any calculations made, from time to time, under the terms of the borrowing base agreement. The Borrower hereby waives notice of the incurrence of any such Other Indebtedness and notice of any additional lien or security interest in the collateral granted to the Bank by the owner thereof and notice of any change in the terms of the borrowing base. The Borrower further acknowledges that any failure to meet the requirements of any provisions of such borrowing base agreement shall permit the Bank to refuse to make advances or other financial accommodations and constitutes an event of default under this Agreement. Any proceeds of any sale of the collateral may be applied to this Facility or such Other Indebtedness as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have no liability to the Borrower, and holds the Bank harmless, for any losses, damages, costs or claims that the Borrower may suffer as a result thereof. 4.

(b) The LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is a fluctuating rate of interest which can change on each banking day. The rate will be adjusted on each banking day to equal the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank) for U.S. Dollar deposits for delivery on the date in question for a one month term beginning on that date. The Bank will use the London Interbank Offered Rate as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A "London Banking Day" is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars. If at any time the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. 3. COLLATERAL 3.1 Personal Property.

(b) Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank which will, absent manifest error, be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between the Borrower and the Bank. (c) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. 3. Xxxxxxxx’s Instructions. Subject to the terms, conditions and procedures stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments and any other instructions under this Agreement given by the Borrower (if an individual), or by any one of the individuals the Bank reasonably believes is authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual(s) designated by any one of such authorized signers (each an “Authorized Individual”). The Bank may honor any such instructions made by any one of the Authorized Individuals, whether such instructions are given in writing or by telephone, telefax or Internet and intranet websites designated by the Bank with respect to separate products or services offered by the Bank. 4. Direct Debit with ACH Debit. (a) The Borrower agrees that on the due date of any amount due under this Agreement, the Bank will debit the amount due from the deposit account with the Depository listed below (the "Designated Account") owned by the Borrower. Should there be insufficient funds in the Designated Account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower. A voided copy of a check on the Designated Account has been, or will be, provided to the Bank. DEPOSITORY NAME: Address: Routing Number: Deposit Account Number: Ref #: 1002831641 : - BurgerFi International, LLC Standard Credit Agreement 3 (b) Debits made by ACH shall be subject to the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, as in effect from time to time.

Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank's lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and disbursements which would be due or which are received on a day which is not a banking day will be due or applied, as applicable, on the next banking day. 6. Additional Costs. The Borrower will pay the Bank, on demand, for the Bank's costs or losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit outstanding under this Agreement. The allocation will be made as determined by the Bank, using any reasonable method. The costs include, without limitation, the following:
Ref #: 1002831641 : - BurgerFi International, LLC Standard Credit Agreement 4 (a) any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement); and (b) any capital requirements relating to the Bank's assets and commitments for credit. “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of the adoption or taking effect of any new or changed law, rule, regulation or treaty, or the issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental authority; provided that (x) the Xxxx - Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued in connection with that Act, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor 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. 7. Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360 - day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365 - day year is used. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid under this Agreement shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement. 8. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any unpaid interest, fees, or costs, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 6.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default. 5.
