AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1Term Loan. (a) Closing Date Term Loan. Each Lender agrees severally, but not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make to the Borrower an advance (each, a “Closing Date Term Loan”; collectively, the “Closing Date Term Loans”) on the Closing Date in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Closing Date Term Loan Commitment; provided, that each Lender with a Closing Date Term Loan Commitment shall (unless otherwise directed by Agent in writing, including via e-mail) disburse the proceeds of its Closing Date Term Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower directly (and not to the Agent for distribution to the Borrower), provided further, that each Lender shall provide to Agent any information reasonably requested by Agent regarding the Closing Date Term Loan made by such Lender. Each Lender’s Term Loan (whether a Closing Date Term Loan made under this Section 1.1(a) or a Delayed Draw Term Loan made under Section 1.1(b)) shall, if requested by such Lender at least 2 Business Days prior to the funding of the applicable Term Loan, be evidenced by a promissory note (each a “Term Note”) duly executed and delivered by the Borrower prior to the funding of such Term Loan substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and be repayable in accordance with the terms of such Term Note and this Agreement. Borrower shall make payments on the Closing Date Term Loan in accordance with Section 1.1(c) and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Once repaid, any amount borrowed under the Closing Date Term Loan Commitment of each Lender may not be re-borrowed. All amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. After the funding of the Closing Date Term Loan by a Lender, the Closing Date Term Loan Commitments of such Lender shall immediately and automatically (without the necessity of further action) be reduced in the principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loan made by such Lender.

(b)Delayed Draw Term Loans.

(i)Delayed Draw Term Loans Generally. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in this Section 1.1(b) and this Agreement, (x) on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, by no later than 12:00 PM New York City time on such day, each Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, severally, agrees to lend to Borrower, in one or more advances (each such advance, a “Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively, the “Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loans” in a principal amount equal to the Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, and (y) upon not less than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as Agent may agree in its absolute discretion) after delivery by Borrower to Agent of a Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Request by no later than 1:00 PM New York City time on such day, each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time prior to the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date, lend to Borrower, in one or more advances (each such advance, a “Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively, the “Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loans”, and together with any Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loans, each a “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”, and the Delayed Draw Term Loans, together with any Closing Date Term Loans, each, a “Term Loan”, and collectively, the “Term Loans” or the “Loan”) in a principal amount not to exceed the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender; provided further, that each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender as of the funding date of any Delayed Draw Term Loan relative to the aggregate amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments of the other Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders as of such funding date (or on such other basis as the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders all agree); provided further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall (unless otherwise directed by Agent in writing, including via e-mail) disburse the proceeds of each Delayed Draw Term Loan made by such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender to the Borrower directly (and not to the Agent for distribution to the Borrower), provided that each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall provide to Agent any information reasonably requested by Agent regarding any Delayed Draw Term Loan made by a Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender. Xxxxxxxx agrees that each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender may satisfy any amounts owing to such Lender under the Fee Letters, by deducting such amounts from the proceeds of any Delayed Draw Term Loan made by such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender to Borrower. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders shall make no more than three (3) Delayed Draw Term Loans in any Fiscal Month. Any Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be in a minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof (or such other amount as agreed to by all of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders with a remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment); provided, that if the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), then the minimum amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be the maximum amount of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. Any Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Request delivered by Borrower hereunder shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Delayed Draw Term Loans requested from the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders on the proposed funding date. The Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall reduce to zero automatically on the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date and no Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made on or after the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date. The Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall reduce to zero automatically after the making of the Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loans on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. After the funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loan by a Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall immediately and automatically (without the necessity of further action) be reduced in the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan made by such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender.

(ii)Conditions to Making of Delayed Draw Term Loans. The (x) obligation of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender to make any Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on the relevant funding date, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the making of any Fourth Delayed Draw Term Loan, and (y) the making of any Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan is subject to each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on the relevant funding date, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the making of any Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan:

(A) Agent shall have received a Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Request;

(B) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents, certificate or other writing delivered to the Agent pursuant thereto are true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable funding date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except in each case (whether the applicable funding date or such earlier date) to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or any other materiality qualifier, in which case it is true and correct in all respects);

(D) the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan Funded Amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders would not exceed the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments;

(E) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Funded Amount of any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender would not exceed such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment;

(F) Borrower shall certify to Agent, and attach evidence to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Request demonstrating, that immediately before and immediately after the making of the requested Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Credit Parties are in compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial covenants set forth under Section 4.2 (based on the financial covenant levels for the testing period then most recently ended or, in the case of any proposed Delayed Draw Term Loan to be made prior to first date on which the financial covenants are tested under Section 4.2, for the period ending on such first date);

(G) the proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan shall only be used for Permitted Acquisitions or working capital of the Credit Parties; and

(H) (1) solely with respect to any Fourth Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan, Borrower shall have satisfied each condition set forth in Section 4 to the Fourth Amendment, and (2) solely with respect to any Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan, Borrower shall (aa) have complied with the provisions of Section 4.5 as of the relevant funding date and (bb) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to actively receive Net Cash Proceeds from Equity Issuances or Subordinated Debt issuances in an amount equal to at least $500,000 on terms acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders.

Each Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Request submitted by Borrower to Agent shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower hereunder, as of the date such Delayed Draw Term Loan is requested to be made, that all of the conditions in this Section 1.1(b) are satisfied. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the Credit Parties meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 1.1(b), the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan facility is an uncommitted facility and the Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, elect to not fund any Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loans for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Principal Repayments of the Term Loans. On each Payment Date occurring on and after April 1, 2024, Borrower shall make principal payments on the Term Loans to the Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders in quarterly installments equal to the sum of (x) $437,500 (such amount being equal to 1.25% of the $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loans), plus (y) 1.25% of the aggregate initial principal amounts of all Delayed Draw Term Loans that have been made prior to the applicable Payment Date, which sum shall be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter (each such date, a “Payment Date”). Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Stated Maturity Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid on any of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

1.2Term and Prepayment.

(a)Upon the Maturity Date of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders (i) all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan plus, without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.2(b), 1% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (ii) all other Obligations relating to the Loan then due to or incurred by Agent or the Lenders.

(b)On any Payment Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Agent, to make a voluntary prepayment (a “Voluntary Prepayment”) of all or a portion (in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integrate multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of all of the Term Loans then outstanding. If the Borrower elects to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) or otherwise, or if the Term Loans are mandatorily prepaid in whole or in part pursuant to any other clause of this Section 1.2 (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment” and together with any Voluntary Prepayment, the “Prepayments”), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a prepayment fee as follows: (i) in the case of any Prepayment (other than under Section 1.2(f) or (h)) made prior to August 3, 2023, 3% of the principal Loan amount being prepaid on the date of such Prepayment; (ii) in the case of any Prepayment (other than under Section 1.2(f) or (h)) made on or after August 3, 2023 and prior to August 3, 2024, 2% of the principal Loan amount being prepaid on the date of such Prepayment; and (iii) in the case of any Prepayment (other than under Section 1.2(f) or (h)) made on or after August 3, 2024, 1% of the principal Loan amount being prepaid on the date of such Prepayment.

(c)Asset Sales and Casualty Events. Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale or any Casualty Event by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, Credit Parties shall make Mandatory Prepayments of the Obligations to be applied thereto in accordance with Section 1.8 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment on such date to the extent that (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and (y) Credit Parties have delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are expected to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets within six (6) months following the date of such Asset Sale or Casualty Event (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided, that (A) all such Net Cash Proceeds that are proposed to be reinvested shall be held in a cash collateral deposit account under the exclusive dominion and control of the Agent (and Agent shall, for the avoidance of doubt, have the sole and exclusive right to direct and/or give instructions to the depository institution regarding the disposition of funds in such account) (such account, the “Term Loan Priority Collateral Account”) and constitute “Term Loan Priority Collateral” under the Intercreditor Agreement, and (B) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so reinvested within such six (6)-month period, such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or the Maturity Date, if earlier) as a Mandatory Prepayment as provided in this Section 1.2(c); provided, further, that if the property subject to such Asset Sale or such Casualty Event constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with Sections 3.20 and 3.28. Nothing contained in this Section 1.2(c) shall permit any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries to effect any Asset Sale other than in accordance with Section 5.4.

(d)Debt Issuance or Preferred Stock Issuance. Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Subordinated Debt issued on or about (x) the Third Amendment Effective Date and (y) the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in an amount not to exceed $500,000) or Preferred Stock Issuance by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, at the election of Agent, Borrower shall make Mandatory Prepayments of the Obligations to be applied thereto in accordance with Section 1.8 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. The provisions of this Section 1.2(d) shall not be an implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Equity Issuance. Not later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude Equity Issuance issued on or about the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in an amount not to exceed $500,000), Borrower shall make Mandatory Prepayments of the Obligations to be applied thereto in accordance with Section 1.8 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. The provisions of this Section 1.2(e) shall not be an implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(f)Prepayments from Excess Cash Flow. On the date that the Borrower’s financial statements are

required to be delivered to Agent under Section 4.1 for the periods ending December 31 of each calendar year, beginning with the financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2021, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate (the “Excess Cash Flow Certificate”), executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, to Agent and the Lenders which shall set forth the calculation of Excess Cash Flow for such period and irrevocably offer and agree to prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to (x) with respect to the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2023 and each Fiscal Year thereafter, seventy-five percent (75%) of Excess Cash Flow, less (y) all Voluntary Prepayments made during such calendar year on the Term Loans; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, no such prepayments shall be required unless Excess Cash Flow for such year equals or exceeds $500,000, at which point the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the applicable percentage of Excess Cash Flow as set forth herein from the first dollar. The Borrower shall make any Prepayment under this clause (f) on the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date that Borrower’s financial statements are required to be delivered to Agent under Section 4.1 for the period ending December 31 of each calendar year. Excess Cash Flow for each calendar year shall be calculated on the basis of the financial statements delivered to Agent pursuant to the Section 4.1 for the period ending on the last day of such calendar year. Each Lender may accept or reject the offer to prepay the Obligations made pursuant to this Section 1.2(f) by causing a written notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to Agent on or before the second day prior to the date the Prepayment is due. A failure by a Lender to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 1.2(f) on or before such date shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such offer. All such prepayments from Excess Cash Flow shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 1.8.

(g)Reserved.

(h)Arbitration Recovery Proceeds and Other Extraordinary Receipts.

(i) Not later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Arbitration Recovery (such Net Cash Proceeds calculated after giving effect to the payment of all obligations owing by the Borrower to the litigation finance partner pursuant to written agreements between the Borrower and such litigation partner, costs, fees and expenses incurred or payable by the Borrower in connection with the Arbitration Proceeding including, without limitation, all legal costs and disbursements incurred or made by the Borrower in connection with the Arbitration Proceeding), Borrower shall make Mandatory Prepayments of the Obligations to be applied thereto in accordance with Section 1.8 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that all such Net Cash Proceeds shall immediately upon receipt by Borrower, prior to the making of any Mandatory Prepayment in accordance with the foregoing, be held in the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account and constitute “Term Loan Priority Collateral” under the Intercreditor Agreement. Any Net Cash Proceeds of an Arbitration Recovery shall immediately upon receipt by Borrower be deposited in the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account and, unless applied as a Mandatory Prepayment in accordance with this Section 1.2(h), remain on deposit in such Term Loan Priority Collateral Account, including (in respect of any prepayment that is declined by any of the Lenders under Section 1.2(i)) in the period (if any) from and after the time any of the Lenders decline a proposed prepayment of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject, until an Activation Notice has been delivered to the applicable depository in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account, to the Borrower’s right to use those Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(ii) Not later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipts (other than (A) from an Arbitration Recovery, and (B) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Proceeds from the Chubb Proceedings and/or the Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Proceedings), Borrower shall make Mandatory Prepayments of the Obligations to be applied thereto in accordance with Section 1.8 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(i)Lender Option to Decline Prepayment. With respect to any Mandatory Prepayment required pursuant to this Section 1.2, any Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment as provided below. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 1.2 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such

notice shall specify the expected date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed estimated calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made under this Section 1.2 (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is expected to be made by the Borrower (the “Prepayment Date”). Any Lender may decline to accept all or any portion of its share of any such prepayment (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Agent no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such Xxxxxx’s receipt of notice from the Agent regarding such prepayment. If any Lender does not give a notice to the Agent on or prior to such second Business Day informing the Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On any Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount including the portion thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each case for such Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Agent by the Borrower and applied by the Agent ratably to prepay the applicable Loan owing to Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in Section 1.8 for such prepayment. The portion of such Prepayment Amount that was allocated to any Declining Lender shall be applied pro rata to the Lenders who have not declined their share of such Prepayment Amount.

1.3Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan (i) to refinance on the Closing Date, prior indebtedness, (ii) for working capital purposes and other corporate purposes, and (iii) to pay any fees associated with transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

1.4Single Loan. The Loan and all of the other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrower secured by all of the Collateral.

1.5Interest.

(a)Borrower shall pay interest to Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders on the outstanding balance of the Loan at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Closing Date until December 31, 2022, LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) from and after January 1, 2023, Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin. All computations of interest on the Loan shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. In no event will Agent charge interest at a rate that exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable.

(b)Interest shall be payable on the balance of the Loan (i) quarterly in arrears and shall be due on the first day of each calendar quarter (subject, solely in the case of the calendar quarter commencing January 1, 2023, to the adjustment noted in the following sentence), (ii) on the Maturity Date of the Loan, and (iii) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Maturity Date of the Loan, upon demand by Agent. For each Payment Date occurring from and including January 1, 2023 until and including January 1, 2024, interest shall be payable in cash and payable in-kind as follows: (x) 10% per annum shall be paid in cash and (y) (i) solely in the case of the calendar quarter commencing January 1, 2023, on January 9, 2023 (a) LIBOR, plus (b) the Applicable Margin, minus (c) 10% per annum, shall be paid-in-kind on (be capitalized, compounded and thereby increase) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (as such principal amount is increased from time to time) on January 9, 2023 as if such interest was paid-in-kind and the principal amount of the Loan increased by the paid-in-kind interest on January 1, 2023 (i.e., the paid-in-kind interest is due and payable on January 9, 2023, but from and after January 9, 2023 is deemed to have increased the Loan amount by the applicable paid-in-kind interest amount as of January 1, 2023 such that the interest payable on the April 1, 2023 Payment Date for the entire quarter ending March 31, 2023 shall accrue based on the principal amount of the Loan as if the paid-in-kind interest was paid on January 1, 2023); and (ii) for each other Payment Date in such period, the PIK Rate shall be paid-in-kind on (be capitalized, compounded and thereby increase) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (as such principal amount is increased from time to time) on each such Payment Date. For each Payment Date occurring after April 1, 2024, all interest shall be payable in cash.

(c)Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the interest rate applicable to the Loan shall automatically be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including accrued but

unpaid interest (to the extent permitted under applicable law), shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default until the earlier of (x) the date on which such Obligations are paid in full and (y) the date on which such Event of Default ceases to be continuing, at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(d)If any payment to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such Payment Date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Xxxxxxxx shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In no event shall the total interest received by Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that Agent could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

(f)For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(g)On the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) any acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (iv) termination of this Agreement by any party hereto in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall pay Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, additional interest in an amount equal to the sum of (x)(i) the aggregate amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loans made by the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders as of such date, multiplied by (ii) 5060%, plus (y) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts due under this Section 1.5(g) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any amounts due under Section 1.2 of this Agreement, if any.

1.6Fees.

Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay to Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders:

(a)the fees set forth in that certain (i) EIP Fee Letter, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Agent and the Borrower, (ii) CION Fee Letter, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Agent and the Borrower and (iii) CrowdOut Fee Letter, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Agent and the Borrower (collectively, each as may be amended, the “Fee Letters”), in each case, when such fees are due and payable;

(b)all fees, costs and expenses of closing due and owing and presented as of the Closing Date, including without limitation, those relating to (i) Agent’s due diligence review and evaluation of the transaction, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, (iii) the closing of the Transactions, (iv) all appraisal, audit, environmental, title work, travel, inspection, surveys, filing, search and registration fees, (v) any loan, escrow, recording and transfer fees and taxes (as applicable), and (vi) Agent’s counsel reasonable fees and expenses relating to any of the foregoing; and

(c)additional interest (the “Third Amendment Additional Interest”) in an amount equal to $254,167.48 (such amount being equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans as of

the date that is 1 Business Day prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date), which Third Amendment Additional Interest shall be paid in kind and added to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Third Amendment Effective Date, which Third Amendment Additional Interest shall be payable to the Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender that has delivered an executed signature page to the Third Amendment on or prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date. Under the First Amendment to this Agreement, additional interest of $175,000 was paid by Borrower to the Agent on the effective date of such First Amendment. Under such First Amendment, this additional interest was, due to administrative error, incorrectly referred to as an amendment fee, but is hereby deemed to constitute additional interest as of the date it was paid.

The Borrower agrees that any fees due and payable by the Borrower on the Closing Date, or on the funding date of any Delayed Draw Term Loan, may be satisfied by the Agent, or the Delayed Draw Term Lenders making such Delayed Draw Term Loan, deducting or setting off the amount of such fees from the proceeds of the Term Loan funded to the Borrower on the Closing Date, or on such funding date of a Delayed Draw Term Loan, and by Agent paying such fees to the Persons to whom such fees are owed (or each Lender paying such fees to itself in the case that the Lender funds a Term Loan to the Borrower directly, and not by first funding Agent before a Term Loan is funded to Borrower).

1.7Receipt of Payments; Taxes.

(a)Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.8) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes not later than 1:00 PM New York City time on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Agent in writing, except as required by applicable law. If a Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to any Recipient under any Loan Document, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.7), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.7, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(b)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 1.7(a) or Section 1.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 1.7(a)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Sections 1.7(a) and Section 1.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7(b), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 1.7(b) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

1.8Application and Allocation of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement,

Borrower irrevocably agrees that Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Agent may deem advisable; provided, however, that unless Agent elects otherwise any and all Mandatory Prepayments shall be applied against the then due and payable Obligations as follows: (a) first, against the remaining principal installments of the Term Loan (including the final installment on the Maturity Date) in inverse order of maturity until the principal on the Term Loans is paid in full; (b) second, to payment of all accrued unpaid cash interest on the Obligations; (c) third, to payment of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of Agent payable or reimbursable by Credit Parties under the Loan Documents; (d) fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and (e) fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Each of Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) above.

1.9Accounting. Each Lender is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of the Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded.

1.10Indemnity. Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold each Recipient and their Affiliates, and each of their respective employees, officers, attorneys, advisors and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, demands, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Indemnified Taxes (including, without duplication, Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 1.7 or Section 1.10) and reasonable legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability (x) is finally determined by a non-appealable court order by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, or (y) arises in a dispute among Indemnified Parties, to which the Borrower and Guarantors are not a party, and which dispute does not arise from any act or omission of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s affiliates (other than a claim against any agent or arranger solely in its capacity as an arranger or agent under the Loan Documents). NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.11Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall

have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.12Joinder of New Subsidiaries as a Credit Party, Etc. As soon as possible (and in any event upon the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after formation or (b) the date on which such Subsidiary owns any material assets) after the formation of any new Subsidiary of a Credit Party or simultaneously with the consummation of acquisition of any new Subsidiary of a Credit Party, Borrower shall take such actions as required by Section 3.28 and cause such new Subsidiary to become a Grantor and either a co-Borrower or Guarantor under this Agreement by having the following documents delivered to the Lenders: (i) a Secretarial Certificate, a Power of Attorney and a Joinder Agreement in the forms of Exhibits C, D and H attached hereto, respectively, duly completed, executed and delivered by such new Subsidiary, (ii) security and other collateral documents, filings and instruments with respect to such new Subsidiary of the types described on Schedule D attached hereto and such other collateral documents, filings and instruments with respect to such new Subsidiary necessary or desirable to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent on the assets of such new Subsidiary, (iii) an opinion of counsel to such new Subsidiary, in form, substance and scope comparable to the legal opinion of Xxxxxxxx’s counsel delivered to Agent and Lenders on the Closing Date and (iv) an updated Disclosure Schedule (3.7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Inactive Subsidiary shall form any new Subsidiary.

1.13Non-Funding Lenders. Unless Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any advance or payment hereunder with respect to the Loan that such Lender will not make such advance or payment (or any portion thereof) available to Agent or to Borrower to the extent required hereunder, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to Agent or Borrower, as applicable, on the date such advance or payment is required to be made in accordance with this Section 1 and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. Borrower agrees to repay to Agent on demand such amount made available by Agent (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when Agent made available such amount to Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to Borrower. In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to Agent or Borrower, as applicable, any portion of any advance or payment described above (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) agrees to pay such amount, to the extent Agent made such amount available to Borrower, to Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loan. Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation. The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document.

1.14Substitution of Lenders.

(a)Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender that is not an Affiliate of Agent (an “Affected Lender”), (i) becomes a Non-Funding Lender with respect to the Loan or (ii) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of all Lenders, Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due on the Term Loan at par value of such Term Loan (and without any prepayment premium or other fee) of such Lender with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or substitute for such Affected Lender any other Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).

(b)Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such Lender’s Term Loan at par value (and without any prepayment premium or other fee), Borrower shall deliver a notice to Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to Agent by Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the

extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to such Lender’s Term Loan at par value (and without any prepayment premium or other fee), and (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 8(a) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Term Loan Commitments of the Affected Lender.

(c)Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full of all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender, such Affected Lender’s Term Loan Commitments (if not previously terminated) and the outstanding Term Loan shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such Lender’s Term Loan, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Term Loan Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Term Loan Commitment (if not previously terminated) and the outstanding Term Loan in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loan as applicable, and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to its Term Loan; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment Agreement or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.

1.15Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 10.17, if, on or prior to the first day of any quarter, either (a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any applicable interest period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, then, in each case, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected interest periods) until the Agent (with respect to the foregoing clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected interest periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable interest period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.17, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to the clause of the definition of “Base Rate” that is based on Adjusted Term SOFR until the Agent revokes such determination.

creditors’ rights generally.

3.4Financial Statements; Books and Records.

(a)The annual, quarterly and monthly Financial Statements of the Grantors delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of such Grantors as of the date of each such Financial Statement in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments and to the absence of footnotes in the case of unaudited statements).

3.5Material Adverse Change. Between December 31, 2019 and the Closing Date, no events with respect to any Grantor have occurred that alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of any Grantor has or has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Grantor is in default, and to such Grantor’s knowledge no third party is in default, under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations, that alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6Revolving Loan Documents; Subordinated Loan Documents. With respect to the Term Loans, (i) the Borrower is permitted to incur such Term Loans under the Revolving Loan Documents and Subordinated Loan Documents, (ii) the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral securing the Term Loans are permitted under the Revolving Loan Documents and Subordinated Loan Documents, and (iii) the Borrower and each Credit Party are in compliance in all material respects with the Revolving Loan Documents, and Subordinated Loan Documents and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under such documents.

3.7Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.7), as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has any Subsidiaries. The issued and outstanding Stock of each Credit Party (excluding all rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which any Credit Party may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock) as of the Closing Date is accurately reflected in the organizational chart delivered pursuant to Section 3.29(c) and set forth in the Perfection Certificate or any supplement thereto (whichever was most recently delivered to Agent).

3.8Government Regulation; Margin Regulations. No Grantor is subject to or regulated under any federal, state, provincial or territorial statute, rule or regulation that restricts or limits such Person’s ability to incur Indebtedness, pledge its assets, or to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. The making of the Loan, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not violate any Requirement of Law. No Grantor is engaged, nor will it engage, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). No Grantor owns any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Loan or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock. No Grantor will take or permit to be taken any action that could reasonably be expected to cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

3.9Taxes; Charges. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule (3.9), all tax returns, reports and statements required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by Borrower or any other Grantor have, as of the Closing Date, been filed and will, until the Termination Date, be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and, as of the Closing Date, no tax Lien has been filed against any Grantor or any Grantor’s property. Borrower and each Grantor

has paid all federal, state, provincial and other taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Disclosure Schedule (3.9) sets forth as of the Closing Date those taxable years for which any Grantor’s tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or assessments threatened in writing in connection with such audit, or otherwise currently outstanding. As of the Closing Date, no Grantor has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the IRC (or the comparable provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of a Canadian Credit Party), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10Payment of Obligations. Each Grantor will pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of its material Charges and other obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and, except as otherwise notified to Agent in writing, no material portion of the Collateral is or could reasonably be expected to become subject to any Lien or forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest.

3.11ERISA and Canadian Pension Plans.

(a)No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other existing ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.13Intellectual Property. The Grantors own, or are licensed to use, all such Intellectual Property material to its business as currently conducted, except for such Intellectual Property the failure of which to so own or be so licensed could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor will take all necessary steps to preserve its ownership and licenses in such Intellectual Property as may be necessary or required to permit Agent to sell, transfer, rent, or use the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. To permit Agent to sell, transfer, rent, or use the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

3.14Full Disclosure. No information contained in any Loan Document, the Financial Statements or any written statement (other than matters of a general economic nature) furnished by or on behalf of any Grantor under any Loan Document, or to induce Agent and the Lenders to execute the Loan Documents (as such information has been amended, supplemented or superseded by any other information later delivered to the same parties receiving such information, provided that the delivery of such amended, supplemented or superseding information shall not cure any Event of Default arising under Section 7.1(b) other than with respect to this Section 3.14), when taken as a whole, contains when furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were

made; provided, that with respect to projections and other forward-looking information, such Grantor represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by such Grantor to be reasonable at the time of preparation, it being understood that such projections may vary from actual results and that such variations may be material.

3.15Environmental Liabilities. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.15), as of the Closing Date, (a) no Grantor is subject to any Environmental Liabilities or, to any Grantor’s knowledge, potential Environmental Liabilities, that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate and (b) no notice has been received by any Grantor identifying it as a “potentially responsible party” or requesting information under CERCLA or analogous state statutes, and to the knowledge of any Grantor, there are no facts, circumstances or conditions that may result in any Grantor being identified as a “potentially responsible party” under CERCLA or analogous state statutes, in each such case if such circumstance could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate. Each Grantor: (i) shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and environmental permits, (ii) shall notify Agent in writing within seven (7) days if and when it becomes aware of any Release, on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any real property owned, leased or occupied by a Grantor if such Release could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate, (iii) shall notify Agent in writing within seven (7) days if and when it becomes aware of any claims that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any Environmental Liabilities that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate, and (iv) shall notify Agent in writing within seven (7) days if and when it becomes aware of any occurrences of non-compliance with Environmental Laws or environmental permits, to the extent any such failure to comply could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Grantor or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, in each case, that would have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, then each Grantor shall, promptly upon receipt of request from Agent, cause the performance of, and allow Agent access to such real property for the purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by Agent shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent.

Credit Party shall otherwise comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements in respect of the mortgaged properties; provided, however, that each Credit Party may, at its own expense and after written notice to the Agent, (i) contest the applicability or enforceability of any such Insurance Requirements by appropriate legal proceedings, the prosecution of which does not constitute a basis for cancellation or revocation of any insurance coverage required under this Section 3.16 or (ii) cause the insurance policy containing any such Insurance Requirement to be replaced by a new policy complying with the provisions of this Section 3.16.

(h)Borrower shall direct all present and future insurers under its policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder with respect to the Collateral directly to Agent for application, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, pursuant to Section 1.2(c).

Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Borrower and Guarantors shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent a Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account for the benefit of Borrower or any Guarantor is maintained. The accounts of the Credit Parties with PNC Bank, National Association with account numbers as previously identified to Agent in writing with account

numbers ending 0459, 1566, 1988, 1937, 2016, 1881 and 8686 (the “Excluded ZBA Disbursement Accounts”), are, and shall remain at all times during the term of the Loan Agreement, zero balance disbursement accounts that receive no deposits and have no funds therein except momentarily when a charge or payment request is presented to the account and funds in the exact amount required to satisfy such charge or payment request are transferred to the account in order to immediately satisfy the applicable charge or payment request.

Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Borrower and Guarantors shall establish the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account, and deliver to the Agent an executed control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent under which the Agent is the sole and exclusive controlling agent. Any Net Cash Proceeds of an Arbitration Recovery shall immediately upon receipt by a Credit Party be deposited in the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account and, unless applied as a Mandatory Prepayment in accordance with Section 1.2(h), remain on deposit in such Term Loan Priority Collateral Account, including (in respect of any prepayment that is declined by any of the Lenders under Section 1.2(i)) in the period (if any) from and after the time any of the Lenders decline a proposed prepayment of such Net Cash Proceeds subject, until an Activation Notice has been delivered to the applicable depository in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account, to the Borrower’s right to use those Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents. Credit Parties shall not deposit in the Term Loan Priority Collateral Account any monies or any other proceeds of Collateral that constitute “Revolving Loan Priority Collateral” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

Borrower and Guarantors shall not establish any deposit accounts after the Closing Date into which Proceeds of Collateral are deposited, unless Borrower or such Guarantor has complied in full with the provisions of this Section 3.26 with respect to such deposit accounts, other than Excluded Accounts. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that from and after the delivery of an Activation Notice (as such term is defined in Section 3.26(e) below) all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts or as Proceeds of Collateral shall be treated as payments to Agent and the Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and the Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding applicable Obligations.

(e)The applicable bank at which any Blocked Accounts are maintained shall agree from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from Agent (which Activation Notice may, or upon instruction of the applicable Required Lenders, shall, be given by Agent at any time during an Event of Default) pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement, to forward, daily, all amounts in each Blocked Account to the account designated by Agent from time to time as a collection account (the “Collection Account”).

(f)From and after the delivery of an Activation Notice, Agent shall apply all such funds in the Collection Account on a daily basis to the repayment of the applicable Obligations in accordance with Section 7.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, after payment in full has been made of the amounts required under Section 7.4, upon the applicable Credit Party’s request and as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any additional funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be released to such Credit Party.

(g)Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Borrower, Guarantors and their directors, employees, agents and other Affiliates shall promptly deposit or cause the same to be deposited, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or Proceeds of Collateral which come into their possession

or under their control in the applicable Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent.

Each Grantor that is not a Canadian Credit Party represents, warrants and covenants to Agent and each Lender that: (i) such Grantor has, and shall have, rights in and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others, other than Permitted Liens; (ii) the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon completion of the filings and other actions listed on Disclosure Schedule (6.1) (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to in said Schedule, have been delivered to the Agent in duly executed form to the extent applicable) and the filing of UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral, will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for the prompt and complete

payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor and such security interests are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for (x) to the extent specified in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liens on the Collateral in favor of Revolving Loan Agent, and (y) Permitted Liens that have priority by operation of law (including any Permitted Lien that is a Purchase Money Lien that satisfies the requirements under the Code and/or other applicable law to take priority over the previously perfected Lien on all assets of a debtor); and (iii) no effective security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Liens. Each Grantor promises to defend the right, title and interest of Agent in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons.

(c)Each Credit Party that is not a Canadian Credit Party confirms that value has been given by the Agent to each such Credit Party, that such Credit Party has rights in the Collateral (other than after-acquired property) and that such Credit Party and the Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the security interests created by this Agreement to any of the Collateral. The security interests created by this Agreement are intended to attach to: (i) existing Collateral when each Credit Party executes this Agreement, and (ii) Collateral subsequently acquired by each Credit Party immediately upon each such Credit Party acquiring any rights in such Collateral.

6.2Agent’s Rights. Each Grantor, with respect to each property where any Collateral is located that is owned, leased or controlled by any Grantor, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Agent shall have access at any and all times): (i) provide access to such property to Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate, (ii) permit Agent to inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Agent considers advisable, and each Grantor agrees to render to Agent, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto, and (iii) permit Agent to inspect, audit and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of such Grantor’s Books and Records; provided, that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the expenses of more than three (3) such inspections or visits during each Fiscal Year of the Borrower. Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, accompany Agent on any such visit or inspection and such Grantor will be obligated to pay the expenses incurred by any such Lender to the extent required under Section 10.2.

6.3Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-fact. On the Closing Date, each Grantor shall execute and deliver a Power of Attorney in the form attached as Exhibit D. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney and all powers granted under any Loan Document are powers coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent agrees not to exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Grantor also hereby (i) authorizes Agent to file any financing statements, financing change statement, continuation statements or amendments thereto that (x) cover the Collateral, and (y) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code and the comparable provisions of the PPSA for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any such financing statement, financing change statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed any such financing statements, if filed prior to the date hereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that, until the Obligations have been repaid in full, it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any such financing statement without the prior written consent of Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

6.4Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Collateral. Solely for the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7.2 hereof for the benefit of the Lenders (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence and during the

continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property relating to any of the Collateral now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the Termination Date.

6.5Commercial Tort Claims. As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants that it holds no commercial tort claims other than those listed on Disclosure Schedule (6.5). If any Credit Party shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, such Credit Party shall immediately notify Agent in writing signed by such Credit Party of the brief details thereof, supplement Disclosure Schedule (6.5) with such details and grant to Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of such commercial tort claim, together with the amount of all other commercial tort claims held by any Credit Party in which Agent does not have a security interest, does not exceed $100,000 individually or $200,000 in the aggregate for all Credit Parties.

6.6Duties of Agent. Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Agent in good faith.

(f)an event of default shall occur under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party (other than this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents), and such event of default (i) involves the failure to make any payment (whether or not such payment is blocked pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement or otherwise), whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether due by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise and such failure continues after the applicable grace or notice period, if any, specified in the document relating thereto, in respect of any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations, the Indebtedness under the Revolving Loan Documents and the Indebtedness under the Subordinated Notes) of such Person in an aggregate original principal amount exceeding the Threshold Amount, or (ii) causes (or permits any holder of such Indebtedness or a trustee to cause) such Indebtedness, or a portion thereof, in an aggregate original principal amount exceeding the Threshold Amount become due prior to its stated maturity or prior to its regularly scheduled date of payment; or

(h)a case or proceeding shall have been commenced involuntarily against Borrower or any other Credit Party in a court having competent jurisdiction seeking a decree or order: (i) under any Debtor Relief Law, and seeking either (x) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, monitor or sequestrator (or similar official) for such Person or of any substantial part of its properties, or (y) the reorganization or winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any such Person, and such case or proceeding shall remain undismissed, unstayed or unbonded for sixty (60) consecutive days or such court shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in such case or proceeding; or (ii) invalidating or denying any such Person’s right, power, or competence to enter into or perform any of its obligations under any Loan Document or invalidating or denying the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken hereunder or thereunder; or

(k)any material provision of any Loan Document shall for any reason (other than upon satisfaction in full of the Obligations), cease to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms, or any Lien granted, or intended by the Loan Documents to be granted, to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall cease to be a valid and perfected Lien having the first priority (or a lesser priority if expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, including the Intercreditor Agreement), except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Agent (which failure is not due to any omission or action by Credit Parties) to maintain possession of certificates actually received representing securities pledged hereunder or under the Pledge Agreement or to file Code continuation statements in the applicable jurisdictions; or

(l)a Change of Control shall have occurred; or

(m)an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are then continuing, could reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect; or

(p)an “Event of Default” as defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement occurs, which shall not have been cured within any applicable grace period or waived, or if any Person (other than Agent or any Lender) party to the Intercreditor Agreement breaches or violates in any material respect, or attempts to terminate or challenge the validity of, such Intercreditor Agreement; or

(q)an “Event of Default” as defined in either Subordinated Note occurs, which shall not have been cured within any applicable grace period or waived, or if any Person (other than Agent or any Lender) party to the Subordination Agreement applicable to either Subordinated Note breaches or violates in any material respect, or attempts to terminate or challenge the validity of, such Subordination Agreement.

7.2Remedies.

(a)If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender may suspend its commitment hereunder to make the Term Loan. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may take any one or more of the following actions: (i) by notice to Borrower declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; or (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code and the PPSA; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (i) of either Sections 7.1(h) or (i), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of the Lenders to make the Loan, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Agent.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may collect, receive, assemble, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to purchase for the benefit of the Lenders the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right each Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and

shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Agent deems necessary or advisable.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Agent’s request, Xxxxxxxx and each other Grantor further agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. During the continuance of an Event of Default, until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Agent shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Agent deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s or the Lenders’ remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Xxxxxxxx and each other Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent, each Lender, their Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person. Borrower and each other Grantor agrees that ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice by Agent to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower and each other Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Agent and each Lender are entitled.

(d)Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Agent and each Lender may have under any Loan Document or at applicable law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

7.3Waivers by Credit Parties. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent or any Lender to exercise any of their remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

7.4Proceeds. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied by Agent upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Agent may deem advisable in its sole discretion and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any applicable provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1) and 9-615(a)(3) of the Code and the comparable provisions of the PPSA (but only after Agent has received what Agent considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to the applicable Grantor or its representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In the event that any such Proceeds are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full, the Credit Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

8.SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

(a)Each Loan Document shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and each other Credit Party executing such Loan Document, Agent, each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein. If more than one party signs this instrument as

Borrower, then the term “Borrower” as used herein shall mean all of such parties, jointly and severally. Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.3, neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign, transfer, hypothecate, delegate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties under any Loan Document without the prior express written consent of Agent. Any such purported conveyance by Borrower or such Credit Party without the prior express written consent of Agent shall be void. There shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender reserves the right at any time to create and sell participations in the Loan and the Loan Documents to any other Person (a “Participant”) and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Loan and under the Loan Documents to one or more Persons (other than any Affiliate of the Credit Parties) (an “Assignee”), in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8. Any such sale, transfer or assignment shall be effected by a written assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) delivered by such Assignee Agent and such Assignee shall pay to Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, which shall be paid to the Agent on the effective date of each such Assignment Agreement. Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Xxxxxxxx, maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the principal amount of the Term Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of the Term Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of the Term Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of such Note evidencing the Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Agreement or transfer; thereupon a new Note in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Note shall be returned to Borrower marked “canceled.” The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, each Credit Party, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under their Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.7, subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8(b) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 1.7 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in applicable law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent,

shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section 8(b)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

(i)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

(D)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be

prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

9.AGENT

9.1Appointment and Duties.

(a)Appointment of Agent.

(c)Limited Duties. Under the Loan Documents, Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent”, “administrative agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer

(b)Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders against all costs, expenses, claims, actions or liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law.

9.4Delegation of Rights and Duties. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender).

(b)None of Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1(b)) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Lender hereby waive and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:

(i)shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability to any Lender for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent);

(iv)shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Borrower or any Lender describing such Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

9.6Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders.

9.7Protective Advances. Agent is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s and Co-Lead Arranger’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of any Term Loan have not been satisfied, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make advances to Borrower on behalf of the Lenders in an amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding, which advances Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Credit Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Protective Advances”). Protective Advances shall be deemed to be Term Loans under this Agreement and entitled to all of the rights and benefits applicable to Term Loans hereunder; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Protective Advances may cause the total principal amount of the Term Loans to equal up to 110% of the sum of (x) the total principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loan Commitment (as in effect immediately prior to funding the Closing Date Term Loans) and (y) the total principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date. The Lenders shall be obligated to fund Protective Advances upon request by Agent (made with the consent of Agent and Co-Lead Arranger) and reimburse and/or otherwise effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Protective Advance Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for herein, any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Protective Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender with respect to such Protective Advances.

9.8Expenses; Indemnities.

(a)Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand for such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share with respect to the Loan of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

(b)Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), from and against such Xxxxxx’s aggregate pro rata share with respect to the Loan of the costs, expenses, claims and liabilities (including (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

9.10Release of Collateral. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders against (i) any Collateral that is sold by a Credit Party in an Asset Sale , lease, transfer or other disposition permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder to secure Purchase Money Obligations, (iii) any Collateral to the extent that Agent is required to release such Lien pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the exercise by the Revolving Agent of rights and remedies against the Collateral,(iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 5.3, and (v) all of the Collateral and

(b)No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and no consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (1) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Lenders or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by Agent and Borrower and any other Credit Party which is a party to such agreement, (2) in the case of any other waiver or consent, by the Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (3) in the case of any other amendment, by the Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Borrower and any other Credit Party which is a party to such agreement; provided, however, that no amendment, consent or waiver described in clause (2) or (3) above shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or by Agent with the consent of such Lender), in addition to any other Person the signature of which is otherwise required pursuant to any Loan Document, do any of the following:

No failure on the part of any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

10.2Expenses. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay or reimburse Agent and CION (but not any Assignee or Participants) for all costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of all counsel retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder, provided, that in the case of legal expenses incurred in connection with the initial documentation and negotiation of the Loan Documents being delivered on the Closing Date, Agent and CION shall be limited to (x) one counsel for Agent and CION taken together (except (i) in the case where one or more discrete legal issues arise during the course of the documentation process for which CION reasonably finds it desirable to obtain its separate legal counsel, and/or (ii) where a conflict of interest arises between Agent and CION, in each of which cases Borrower shall be obligated to pay or reimburse the reasonable legal fees of CION in addition to those of Agent), (y) to the extent reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (z) such regulatory or other specialist counsel (which shall include SBA counsel to EICF) as reasonably necessary in connection with the Transactions; (b) collection, including deficiency collections; (c) any amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to any Loan Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Loan or the rights thereunder; and (d) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Agent, any Lender, Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Loan Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise, provided however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay or reimburse Agent and CION (but not any Assignee or Participants) for all additional costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with any effort (i) to monitor the Loan, (ii) to evaluate, observe or assess Borrower or any other Credit Party or the affairs of such Person, and (iii) to verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.

10.3No Waiver. Neither Agent’s failure, at any time, to require strict performance by Borrower or any other Credit Party of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Agent or any Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower or any other Credit Party to Agent or any Lender contained in any Loan Document and no Default by Borrower or any

other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, and directed to Borrower, specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and neither Agent nor any Lender shall, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

10.4Severability; Section Titles. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of Borrower or any other Credit Party or the rights of Agent or any Lender relating to any unpaid Obligation, (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is not required until after the Maturity Date, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between parties hereto.

10.5Authorized Signature. Until Agent shall be notified in writing by Borrower or any other Credit Party to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Agent or any of Agent’s officers, agents, or employees to be that of an officer of Borrower or such other Credit Party shall bind Borrower and such other Credit Party and be deemed to be the act of Borrower or such other Credit Party affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by Xxxxxxxx’s or such other Credit Party’s Board of Directors, and Agent shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the Person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the Person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

10.6Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 10.6), (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule C or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any such communication to any Person (other than Borrower, any other Credit Party, Agent or any Lender) designated in Schedule C to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such communication.

10.7Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts by any one or more of the parties thereto, and all of said counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any Loan Document may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the Code or the PPSA, as applicable) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 1.14 and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

10.15Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(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 the Term SOFR Reference Rate) 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 Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may elect to use another interest period for such Benchmark that is being published and is representative for any Benchmark settings at or after such time and to not use the unavailable or non-representative tenor or interest period and (ii) if a tenor that was not used 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may again use such tenor or 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 Loans under this Agreement will be deemed to have converted into Base Rate Loans during the Benchmark Unavailability Period.

10.18CION as Co-Lead Arranger. CION shall be a co-lead arranger of the facilities and commitments made available under this Agreement; provided, that this role shall not entitle CION to take any actions in such capacity except with the express prior written consent of Agent.

(b)If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.19(a) there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties shall pay or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial

order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 10.19(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c)The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 10.19 means the rate of exchange at which Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with Agent’s normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

11.2Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Non-Canadian Guarantors under Section 11.1 shall constitute a guarantee of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Non-Canadian Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Non-Canadian Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a)at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Non-Canadian Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

The Non-Canadian Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and Agent or any Lender shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Agent or any Lender, and the obligations and liabilities of the Non-Canadian Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Agent or any Lender or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Non-Canadian Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.4Subrogation; Subordination. Each Non-Canadian Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other Non-Canadian Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Credit Party permitted pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall be subordinated to such Credit Party’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

11.5Remedies. The Non-Canadian Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Non-Canadian Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7.2) for purposes of Section 11.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Non-Canadian Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.1.

11.6Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Non-Canadian Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Non-Canadian Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

11.7Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

11.8General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any applicable corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable Debtor Relief Law, if the obligations of any Non-Canadian Guarantor under Section 11.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Non-Canadian Guarantor, any Credit Party or any other person, be automatically

limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

11.9Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Non-Canadian Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is Borrower or a Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.2 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Loan Document and the pledge of such Equity Interests to Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided Agent such certifications or documents as Agent shall reasonably request, Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.9 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Loan Documents, so long as Borrower shall have provided Agent such certifications or documents as Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.

11.10Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.4. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
