CREDIT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 12, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“UTI”), UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE OF ARIZONA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UTI AZ”, and, individually and collectively with UTI, hereinafter, the “Borrower”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a federally chartered institution (“Lender”).

Section 1 Definitions. Certain capitalized terms have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

Section 2 Term Loan.

2.1 Term Loan.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, Lender agrees to make a Loan Advance to Borrower on the Effective Date in a maximum principal amount not to exceed $31,150,000.00 (the “Term Loan”). Lender’s commitment to make the Term Loan shall expire at 2:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time on the Effective Date.

(b) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note in the principal amount of the Term Loan (the “Term Note”) and bearing interest at such rate, and payable upon such terms, as specified in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of this Agreement, and in the Term Note.

(d) The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used by Borrower for general working capital of Borrower and for such other business or commercial purposes.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, whether herein or in the other Loan Documents, the entire unpaid balance of the Term Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

2.2 Interest.

(a) The Loans and the Notes will automatically bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the One Month LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. As used herein, “One Month LIBOR Rate” means, as of any date of determination, the rate of interest fixed by the ICE Benchmark Administration at 11:00 a.m., London, England time, relating to quotations for the one month London InterBank Offered Rate on U.S. Dollar deposits as published on Bloomberg LP. The One Month LIBOR Rate shall be reset on the first Business Day of each calendar month by Lender based on the One Month LIBOR Rate then in effect.

(b) Any adjustment in the applied interest rate resulting from a change in the One Month LIBOR Rate, or any successor or alternative index rate utilized by Lender to fund or maintain its funding of all or any portion of the Loans hereunder, including without limitation, the Prime Rate (an “Alternate Rate”), as applicable, shall become effective as of the opening of business on the date of each change (or if not a Business Day, the beginning of the next Business Day). Lender shall not be required to notify Borrower of any adjustment in the One Month LIBOR Rate; however, Borrower may request a quote of the prevailing One Month LIBOR Rate on any Business Day. Interest accruing based on the One Month LIBOR Rate or Alternate Rate shall be: (i) calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on June 1, 2021. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the One Month LIBOR Rate or an applied Alternate Rate, as applicable, shall be less than zero percent (0.00%), such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) for the purposes of this Agreement.

2.3 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Rate Management Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action

or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, or in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, or if the Lender selects Daily Compounded SOFR as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrower without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or further action or consent of the Borrower.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a One Month LIBOR Rate Loan, a conversion to or continuation of One Month LIBOR Rate Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Loans at the Alternate Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Rate.

(f) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (d) of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

“Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Lender for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at the time of a Benchmark Replacement Date applicable to a Benchmark Transition Event or Early Opt-In Election, the Borrower has a Rate Management Agreement in effect with respect to all or part of the Loan, in order to more closely align the floating interest rate under the Loan with the floating rate option under the Rate Management Agreement, and giving due consideration to evolving standards and market practice, the Lender may, in its discretion, replace the Benchmark Replacement that would otherwise be selected pursuant to this definition of Benchmark Replacement with the sum of: (a) Daily Compounded SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. If Daily Compounded SOFR is selected for the Benchmark Replacement, Lender shall provide written notice of this election to the Borrower.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to this definition would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Lender: (a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; (b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Lender for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities; and

(3) if Daily Compounded SOFR is selected (as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement), the Lender may also select the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in clause 1(b) above in lieu of the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in clause 1(a) above.

provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of

breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Lender in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lender determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lender decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(3) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrower, so long as the Lender has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or is provided to the Borrower, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or from Borrower.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

“Daily Compounded SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with interest accruing on a compounded daily basis, with the methodology and conventions for this rate (which may include compounding in arrears with a lookback or observation shift) being established by the Lender in accordance with a methodology and the conventions for this rate selected or recommended (x) by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Compounded SOFR” for business loans or (y) by reference to the ISDA Definitions for derivatives comparable to any applicable Rate Management Agreement; provided, that if the Lender decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Lender, then the Lender may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.

“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Lender in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for business loans; provided, that if the Lender decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Lender, then the Lender may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.

“Early Opt-in Election” means, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the occurrence of:

(1) a determination by the Lender that at least five currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities at such time contain (as a result of amendment or as originally executed) a SOFR-based rate (including SOFR, a term SOFR or any other rate based upon SOFR) as a benchmark rate (and such credit facilities are identified in such notice and are publicly available for review), and

(2) the election by the Lender to trigger a fallback from USD LIBOR and the provision by the Lender of written notice of such election to the Borrower.

“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to USD LIBOR.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or such successor thereto.

“Reference Time” with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark means (1) if such Benchmark is USD LIBOR, 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two London banking days preceding the date of such setting, and (2) if such Benchmark is not USD LIBOR, the time determined by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“SOFR” means, with respect to any Business Day, a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate for such Business Day published by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

“SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).

“SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, currently at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, or any successor source for the secured overnight financing rate identified as such by the SOFR Administrator from time to time.

“Term SOFR” means, for the applicable Corresponding Tenor as of the applicable Reference Time, the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“USD LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollars.

(g) Necessity for Benchmark Replacement and Limitation of Liability. The interest rate on the Loans is determined by reference to the One Month LIBOR Rate from time to time, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The One Month LIBOR Rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of setting the One Month LIBOR Rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022 (or earlier), the One Month LIBOR Rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a reliable rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Term SOFR Transition Event, the Lender will notify the Borrower of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate is based. However, the Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, or any other matter related to the One Month LIBOR Rate or any alternative, successor, or replacement rate, including, without limitation, the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or whether the composition or characteristics of any alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the One Month LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the One Month LIBOR Rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(g) Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify Lender from all reasonable and documented increased costs or fees incurred by Lender subsequent to the date hereof relating to the offering of rates of interest based upon the One Month LIBOR Rate, any Alternate Rate, or the Benchmark Replacement utilized by Lender, but only for so long as Lender continues to regularly charge commercial borrowers for the same.

2.4 Payments; Late Payments.

(a) The principal amount of the Term Note will be payable in eighty-four (84) monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, which will be due beginning on June 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. The eighty-four (84) monthly installments of principal will be in such amounts as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, plus accrued interest, and the eighty-fifth (85^th) and final installment will be in the amount of the entire unpaid balance of the Term Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding under the Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the Termination Date.

(b) All payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes will be in lawful money of the United States of America, and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or instructed by Lender in writing from time to time, Borrower will make all payments required under this Agreement, the Notes and under any of the other Loan Documents in immediately available funds to an account designated by Lender from time to time.

(c) Borrower shall make all payments of principal, interest and all other Obligations no later than 3:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time, on the day such payments are due. For purposes of computing interest and fees as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received by Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time. Payments received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. In the event any payment becomes due and payable on a date which is not a good Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on the next successive Business Day.

(d) Borrower agrees that, with regard to late payments: (i) Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment fee equal to three percent (3%) of any payment of principal not paid when due (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise), and (ii) any portion of the Obligation not paid when due (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate; provided that this Section 2.3(d) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or an agreement by Lender to permit any late payments whatsoever. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Lender of any sums due hereunder or the Notes will cause Lender to incur costs not contemplated hereunder or the other Loan Documents, the exact amount of which will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Borrower and Lender agree that the late payment fee represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lender will incur by reason of late payment.

(e) “Default Rate” means three percent (3%) in excess of the interest rate otherwise in effect under amounts outstanding under such Note. In no event shall the interest rate accruing under such Note be increased to be in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable state or federal usury laws then in effect.

2.5 Prepayment.

(a) Optional. Borrower may prepay any portion of the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty; provided that if Borrower makes any such prepayment in respect of the Term Loan other than on a regularly scheduled payment date, Borrower (a) with such prepayment, shall pay all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid (unless less than all of the principal amount of the Term Note is being prepaid, in which case such interest shall be due and payable on the next scheduled interest payment date), and (b) shall promptly reimburse Lender and hold Lender harmless solely as may be required under the Rate Management Agreement and subject to the terms therein. Lender’s reasonable determination of the amount of such reimbursement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Required. If, pursuant to Sections 4.22, 4.23 or 4.24, Borrower is not in compliance with the requisite Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, Loan to Value, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements on the dates of determination as further set forth in this Agreement and borrower elects to cure, Borrower shall promptly, within the timeframes set forth below in Section 5.1(m), (i) pay down the Term Loan to Lender in immediately available funds in an amount as may be necessary to cure any such breach, or (ii) provide the Resizing Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Borrower has delivered to Lender a Resizing Amount pursuant to Section 5.1(m) hereof, and subsequently provides written confirmation to Lender of compliance with the Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan to Value covenant set forth below in Sections 4.22, 4.23 or 4.24, then so long as no Event of Default then exists as of the date Borrower demonstrates such compliance, Lender will return the Resizing Amount (whether cash or a letter of credit)(along with any interest actually earned on such Resizing Amount collateral) to Borrower.

2.6 One General Obligation. All advances of credit to, or for the benefit of, Borrower under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document constitute one loan, and all of the Obligations constitute one obligation. The Loans and all other advances or extensions of credit to, or for the benefit of, Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and all other Obligations are made on the security of the Mortgage.

Section 3 Representations and Warranties.

Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Lender the following as of the date hereof:

Section 4 Covenants. Borrower covenants with Lender that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full:

4.1 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall comply or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations, rulings, orders, injunctions, decrees, conditions or other requirements applicable to or imposed upon Borrower by any law or by any governmental authority, court or agency governing the use and operation of the Property. Reasonable evidence of such compliance shall be submitted to Lender on written request.

Borrower shall promptly respond to any inquiry from Lender for information with respect to the Property, provided that Borrower shall only be required to provide such requested information that is prepared by Borrower in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; and provided, however, that Lender shall at all times be entitled to rely upon any statements or representations made by Borrower or any agent thereof.

4.3 Mechanics’ and Similar Liens and Claims Borrower shall not permit any mechanics’, labor, materialmans’ and/or similar lien or stop notice claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Property or Lender in respect of the Property, or against any funds due any contractor or subcontractor, and Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days after Borrower has received notice of such filing) discharge or cause to be discharged (or bond over in accordance with applicable law) the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof; provided that in connection with any such lien or claim which Borrower may in good faith desire to contest, Borrower may contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings diligently prosecuted, but only if Borrower shall furnish to and Lender such security or indemnity as Lender requests (and bonding over shall suffice as acceptable security

for Lender). With respect to the matters set forth in this Section 4.3, if Borrower shall (a) fail promptly to discharge or bond over any asserted liens or claims in accordance with the above terms and conditions, or (b) fail promptly to contest asserted liens or claims or to give security or indemnity in the manner provided in this Section 4.3, or (c) having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by Lender for its full amount, or (d) upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, fail promptly to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then Lender may, but shall not be required to, following written notice to Borrower and a reasonable opportunity to cure (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may, in its sole discretion, effect any settlement or compromise of the same if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability, or non-payment of such shall place the Property in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest from the date so disbursed until paid at the Default Rate. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien or otherwise as permitted under this Section 4.3, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

4.4 Financial Statements; Compliance Certificates. In addition to any other financial statements required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower will or will cause from time to time to be furnished to Lender the following information and reports concerning Borrower and/or the Property:

4.5 Affirmation of Representations and Warranties. Borrower agrees that all representations and warranties of Borrower contained in Section 3 of this Agreement shall remain true in all material respects as of the date they were made until the Loans and all Obligations are repaid and satisfied in full.

Except for (a) the Mortgage and other security for the Obligations, (b) the lien of general real estate taxes payment of which is not yet due, (c) mechanics’, labor, materialmans’ or other similar liens which are contested in the manner permitted in Section 4.3 above, and (d) any other Permitted Exceptions, Borrower shall keep its fee simple title to the Property free and clear of all liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances), claims and encumbrances, whether senior or junior to or at parity with the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way, in the ordinary course of business for one-way or reciprocal access, parking, water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines, cellular towers and other utilities, parking and access or for other similar purposes (“Permitted Easements”), provided that Borrower uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lender not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice thereof accompanied by the applicable documentation pertaining to such transfer, conveyance or encumbrance, and no such transfer, conveyance or encumbrance shall impose liabilities or obligations on Borrower that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. In connection with any Permitted Easement, if Borrower requests Lender’s consent thereto and provides Lender with a form of the instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate to subordinate the lien of the Security Instrument to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent and shall execute and deliver such instrument upon receipt by Lender of (a) a copy of the instrument of transfer, (b) an certificate from Borrower certifying that the conditions set forth in subsection (ii) hereof have been satisfied and (c) reimbursement of all Lender’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with Lender’s review of such action and the documentation related thereto, and the execution and delivery by Lender of the instruments to be delivered by Lender pursuant to this Section 4.6 provided that such instrument does not impose any liability upon Lender.

4.7 Proceedings Affecting Property. If any proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare invalid or unlawful the occupancy, use, maintenance or operation of the Property, or any portion thereof, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith, and in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, prosecute all commercially reasonable allowable appeals therefrom, and shall, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings. All such proceedings, including without limitation, all of Lender’s costs, and fees and disbursements of Lender’s counsel in connection with any such proceedings, whether or

not Lender is a party thereto, shall be at Borrower’s expense. To the extent that Lender incurs any such expenses, including attorneys’ fees and fees and charges for court costs, bonds and the like, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such expenses and the amount due Lender shall bear interest at the rate under the Term Loan from the date so incurred by Lender until repaid to Lender and shall be payable to Lender on demand.

4.8 Disposal and Encumbrance of Property. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall not suffer, permit or enter into any agreement for any sale, lease, transfer, or in any way encumber or dispose of or grant or suffer any security or other assignment (collateral or otherwise) of or in all or any portion of the Property, except for Permitted Leases (as defined below), Permitted Encumbrances, and any modification or amendment of the same. Any consent given by Lender or any waiver of default under this Section, shall not constitute a consent to, or waiver of any right, remedy or power of Lender under any subsequent default hereunder.

4.8 Notice of Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall promptly give to Lender notice of the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Limitation on Distributions. Provided that Borrower is not in breach of the covenant set forth in Section 4.22 (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) of the Credit Agreement (or Borrower has provided the Resizing Amount in accordance with this Agreement), and provided further that no Event of Default then exists, Borrower may, without the consent of Lender declare or pay any dividend or distributions, including, but not limited to, Preferred Dividends.

4.10 Additional Documents. Except with regard to any subordinate financing, Borrower shall not execute or record any document pertaining to, affecting or running with all or any portion of the Property, including, without limitation, any plat or subdivision map, without the prior written approval of Lender of the form and substance of such documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon granting such approval, Lender agrees to execute such consents and subordination agreements with respect to such documents as are acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

4.11 Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any and all fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ fees, appraisal fees, title fees, environmental assessment fees (including Phase I and Phase II assessments), expert fees, court costs, litigation and other expenses (collectively, the “Costs”) incurred or paid by Lender or any of its officers, employees or agents in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, procurement, review, administration or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Documents or any instrument, agreement, document, policy, consent, waiver, subordination, release of lien, termination statement, satisfaction of mortgage, financing statement or other lien search, recording or filing related thereto (or any amendment, modification or extension to, or any replacement or substitution for, any of the foregoing), whether or not any particular portion of the transactions contemplated during such negotiations is ultimately consummated, (b) any out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to this Agreement, and (c) the defense, preservation and protection of Lender’s rights and remedies thereunder, including without limitation, its security interest in the Property or any other property pledged to secure the Loans, whether incurred in bankruptcy, insolvency, foreclosure or other litigation or proceedings or otherwise. The Costs shall be due and payable upon demand by Lender and such Costs incurred by Lender up to and including the Effective Date shall be included in the closing statement with the Title Company. If thereafter Borrower fails to pay the Costs when upon such demand, Lender is entitled to disburse such sums as an additional advance under the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Costs shall bear interest from the date incurred or disbursed at the highest rate set forth herein. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the repayment of any amounts due or the performance of any Obligation.

4.12 Changes in Property Restrictions. Borrower shall not initiate, join in or consent to any change in any applicable zoning ordinance, general plan or similar law, or to any private restrictive covenant or any similar public or private restriction on the use of the Property, except with the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.3 Default Rate. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts of principal outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, in Lender’s sole discretion, without notice to Borrower. This provision does not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or an agreement by Lender to permit any late payments whatsoever.

5.4 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy set forth herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or as may be now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each may be exercised together, separately and in any order. Borrower waives any requirement of marshalling of assets that may be secured by any of the Loan Documents.

5.5 Effect of Termination; Voluntary Termination.

(a) The termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of either party or any obligation of either party to the other, arising prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights created or Obligations incurred prior to such termination have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated.

5.6 No Adequate Remedy at Law. Borrower recognizes that no remedy at law shall provide adequate relief to Lender in the event that Borrower shall fail to pay, perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and, accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that it has incurred actual damages.

7.9 Indemnification. If after receipt of any payment of all or part of the Obligations, Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any Person, because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Borrower shall be liable to, and shall indemnify, save and hold Lender, its officers, directors, attorneys, and employees harmless of and from the amount of such payment surrendered. The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by Lender in reliance on such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to Lender’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment becoming final, indefeasible and irrevocable.

Borrower agrees that the state and federal courts in Xxxxxxxx County, Ohio or Maricopa County, Arizona, shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of the Loan Documents and consent to jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any argument that venue in such forum and venue is not convenient, and that service of process in any such proceeding shall be effective if mailed to Borrower at their address described in the Notices section of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

7.11 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. LENDER AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS PROVISION AND THE WAIVER SET FORTH HEREIN ARE MATERIAL INDUCEMENTS TO LENDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

7.12 PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Borrower hereby acknowledges that it seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each party who opens an account. Lender will ask each party to a financial transaction their name, address and other information that will allow Lender to identify such party. Lender may also ask to see other documents that substantiate a party’s identity.

7.13 Entire Agreement; No Oral Modifications. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, collectively constitute the entire understanding between Lender and Borrower as to the matters contemplated therein and may not be modified, amended or terminated except by written agreement signed by both Lender and Borrower.

7.14 Approvals, Consents and Waiver. No approval, acceptance or consent of Lender required by any provision of the Loan Documents, nor any statement or waiver of any required approval, acceptance, acceptability, consent or condition, shall be deemed to have occurred until set forth in writing, signed by Lender, and delivered to Borrower. Any approval, acceptance, consent, waiver or statement of acceptability granted by Lender shall be applicable only to the particular occurrence, circumstance or instance identified in such writing, and shall not constitute a continuing approval, acceptance, consent, waiver or statement of acceptability or be otherwise applicable to any other occurrence, circumstance or instance, whether similar or dissimilar. When this Agreement, any other Loan Document refers to the consent or approval of Lender, or provides that any document, matter, act, event, occurrence or Person must be satisfactory or acceptable to Lender or words of similar import, such consent or approval may be given or withheld by Lender, and such document, matter, act, event, occurrence or Person must be satisfactory or acceptable to Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or therein.

7.15 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents and of every part hereof, and Borrower therefore acknowledges that Lender has no obligation to grant any extension of any provision thereof, and any extension which Lender may elect to grant may be conditioned upon such terms and conditions as Lender may impose in its sole discretion.

7.16 Severability. In the event of any invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan Document or any provision of any Loan Documents, the remainder of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

7.19 Electronic Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be signed by facsimile signatures or other electronic delivery of an image file reflecting the execution hereof, and, if so signed: (a) may be relied on by each party as if the document were a manually signed original and (b) will be binding on each party for all purposes. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7.20 Limitation Upon Interest. In the event that the interest and/or charges in the nature of interest, if any, provided for by this Agreement or by any other Loan Document, or the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money to be loaned under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, contravenes a legal or statutory limitation applicable to the Term Loan, if any, Borrower will pay only such amounts as would legally be permitted; provided, however, that if the defense of usury and all similar defenses are unavailable to Borrower, Borrower will pay all amounts provided for herein. If, for any reason, amounts in excess of the amounts permitted in the foregoing sentence have been paid, received, collected or applied hereunder, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, then, and in that event, any such excess amounts will be applied to principal, unless principal has been fully paid, in which event such excess amount will be refunded to Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the rate stated in this Agreement and the Term Note, plus any additional rate, if any, resulting from any charge or fee in the nature of interest paid or to be paid by Borrower and/or any other obligor in connection with the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, or any benefit received or to be received by Lender in connection with the indebtedness or the Loan Documents.

7.21 Waiver of Offsets; Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its material obligations hereunder will result in any offset against any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

7.22 Document Imaging, Electronic Transactions and the UETA. Without notice to or consent of Borrower, Lender may create electronic images of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and destroy paper originals of any such imaged documents. Provided that such images are maintained by or on behalf of Lender as part of Lender’s normal business processes, Borrower agrees that such images have the same legal force and effect as the paper originals, and are enforceable against Borrower. Furthermore, Borrower agrees that Lender may convert any Loan Document into a “transferrable record” as such term is defined under, and to the extent permitted by, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in the State of Arizona, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, and any regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time (the “UETA”), with the image of such instrument in Lender’s possession constituting an “authoritative copy” under the UETA.
