RECITALS
WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Lender provide a loan (the “Loan”) in the amount not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) to be used solely to fund working capital of the Loan Parties (as hereinafter defined) (the “Permitted Uses”); and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Construction and Defined Terms.
(a) General Interpretive Principles. If the context requires, the use of any gender shall also refer to any other gender, and the use of either number shall also refer to the other number. All accounting terms not specifically defined have the meanings determined by reference to generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”). Terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the state of Tennessee (the “UCC”) shall have the same meanings herein, except as otherwise expressly provided or amplified (but not limited) herein. The word “including” is not exclusive; if exclusion is intended, the word “comprising” is used instead. The word “or” shall be construed to mean “and/or” unless the context clearly prohibits that construction.
(b) Certain Definitions. In addition to other words and terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms and definitions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto shall have the meanings herein, unless the context expressly requires otherwise.
2. Loan (Advance and Repayment).
(a) Advance. Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 below and the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make the Loan to Borrowers in the amount of $2,500,000.00 in one advance on the Closing Date, as evidenced by and pursuant to the Note. Any principal amounts repaid on the Loan cannot be reborrowed.
(b) Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the Loan at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded monthly. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) calendar day of each month, commencing July 1, 2022, and shall, in lieu of cash payment of such interest, be added to the principal amount of the Loan and accrue interest in accordance with the terms hereof (the “PIK Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate following the occurrence of an Event of Default (regardless of whether notice thereof has been given to any Borrower).
(c) Principal Payments.
(i) Loan Repayment Requirement. Unless prepaid in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) or accelerated by the Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, all amounts owed by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note or any Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all principal (including PIK Interest) and unpaid interest accrued (including interest accrued at the Default Rate)) shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
(ii) Prepayment. All principal (including PIK Interest), subject to a prepayment premium equal to two and 00/100 percent (2.00%) of the amount so prepaid, shall be due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a Change of Control of Enjoy or the entry into a definitive agreement to consummate a Change of Control of Enjoy, (ii) failure of Enjoy to file the Bankruptcy Proceeding in accordance with the mutual agreement between Borrowers and Lender (or their respective Affiliates) by June 30, 2022 or (iii) the acceleration of Loan upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided that such prepayment premium shall not be payable in connection with a Change of Control that results in a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or Intellectual Property of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates to Lender or an Affiliate of Lender.
3. Maturity. The Loan, together with any and all other indebtedness and obligations of each Borrower to Lender, shall mature and be due and payable, by each Borrower to Lender, in full on the date (the “Maturity Date”) that is the earlier of: (a) July 8, 2022 and (b) the date on which the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or Section 11.

This Agreement creates in favor of Lender a legal, valid, continuing and enforceable security interest in the Collateral, the enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. All applicable financing statements, releases and other similar filings are in appropriate form and have been or will be filed in the offices specified in Schedule 8(n) attached hereto.

any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any substantial part of their respective property, or otherwise, this Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, until Lender has been indefeasibly repaid in full for all such payments made.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, and each Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other person; (iii) Lender has not assumed and will not assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether Lender has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and Lender has no obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; (iv) Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and Lender has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) Lender has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

21. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lender
18
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, direct and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration for the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as surety but also as co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this section constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse obligations of each of Borrowers enforceable against such person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever. The provisions of this section are made for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against any or all of Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Lender or such successor or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust such remedies available to it or them against any of the other Borrowers hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this section shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full or otherwise satisfied.
22. Guaranty.
(a) Guaranty. Each Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b) Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to xxx any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(c) No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty.
(i) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
19
(ii) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(iii) Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Loan Party for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
(d) Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
(e) Rights of Subrogation. No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to Lender.
(f) Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Lender is in possession of this Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand by Lender.
20
(g) Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that Lender shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
(h) Termination. Lender may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Guarantor will continue to be liable to Lender for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifteenth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.
(i) Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 22(i) with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Lender to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 22(i) with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
(j) Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Guarantor under this Section 22 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
23. Miscellaneous.
(a) Lender may treat an Event of Default by Loan Party under this Agreement as a default under all Indebtedness or other obligations owed by Loan Party to Lender. Lender may, at Lender’s option, apply any payments or credits to any particular portion of any Indebtedness of Loan Party to Lender.
(b) Any and all notices, elections or demands permitted or required to be made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, via electronic mail or sent by certified mail or nationally recognized courier service (such as Federal Express), to the other party at the address set forth below, or at such other address as may be supplied in writing and of which receipt has been acknowledged in writing. The date of personal delivery or electronic mail or the date of mailing (or delivery to such courier service), as the case may be, shall be the date of such notice, election or demand, and rejection, refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of a changed address of which no notice was sent shall not affect the validity of any notice, election or demand given in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
