SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this

“Agreement”), is dated as of November 2, 2021, by and among SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), OUTBRAIN INC.,division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (successor by purchase to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver for Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. (as successor to Silicon Valley Bank) (“Bank”), OUTBRAIN INC., a Delaware corporation (“Outbrain” or “Lead Borrower”), ZEMANTA HOLDING USA INC., a Delaware corporation (“Zemanta Holding”) and ZEMANTA INC., a Delaware corporation (together, with Lead Borrower and Zemanta Holding, collectively, “Borrowers”, and each, a “Borrower”). This Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the Prior Loan Agreement. The parties agree as follows:

1LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

1.1Revolving Line.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be prepaid or repaid as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the outstanding principal amount of all Advances, the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other outstanding Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations).

1.2Letters of Credit Sublimit.

(a) As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for the account of the applicable Borrower or, at Bank’s discretion and subject to completion of required know-your-customer requirements, any of its Subsidiaries. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, minus the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances. In addition, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) which may be outstanding is as set forth on Schedule I hereto. Any amounts required hereunder to reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by the applicable Borrower in connection with Letters of Credit will be treated as an Advance under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Prime Rate Advances.

(b) If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date (or the effective date of any termination of this Agreement), there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to at least (i) 103.0% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (ii) 108.0% of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, plus, in each case, all interest, fees, and costs due or estimated by Bank to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations).

(c) All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). The applicable Borrower shall execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrowers shall be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guaranteed by Bank and issued for the applicable account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for such account. Bank shall not be liable for any error, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following a Xxxxxxxx’s instructions or those contained in

EXECUTION VERSION

the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto other than to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank.

(d) The obligation of Borrowers to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.

(e) Each Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrowers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for Letters of Credit issued hereunder for the account of their Subsidiaries) of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges).

(f) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to a percentage (which percentage shall be determined by Bank in its sole discretion) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

1.3 Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Advances, plus (b) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”).

1.4Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Payments. Interest on the principal amount of each Advance is payable as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(b) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 1.4(c), the outstanding principal amount of any Advance shall accrue interest as set forth on Schedule I hereto. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Obligations is less than zero percent (0.0%), such interest rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.0%) for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, and at the election of Bank with respect to any other Event of Default, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is two percent (2.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 1.4(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

(d) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Each change in the interest rate applicable to any amounts payable under the Loan Documents based on changes to the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or the Prime Rate, as applicable, shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or the Prime Rate, as applicable and to the extent of such change.

(e) Interest Computation. Interest shall be computed as set forth on Schedule I hereto. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

EXECUTION VERSION

(f) LIBOR Advances. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.10(a). Subject to Sections 1.9 and 1.10, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Advance.

1.5Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Bank:

(a)Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee as set forth on Schedule I hereto;

(b)Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, a Letter of Credit Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit payable upon the issuance, each anniversary of such issuance and any renewal thereof, which shall be fully earned and non- refundable as of such date;

(c)Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. Payable quarterly in arrears on the last calendar day of each calendar quarter occurring thereafter prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), in an amount equal to Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee Percentage of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as reasonably determined by Bank, computed on the basis of a year with the applicable number of days as set forth in Section 1.4(e), which shall be fully earned and non-refundable as of such date. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line, and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding plus the sum of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve);

(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within ten (10) days of demand by Bank).

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, Xxxxxxxxx shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrowers under the clauses of this Section 1.5 pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(c). Bank shall provide Lead Borrower written notice of deductions made pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 1.5.

1.6Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Bank has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrowers shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrowers to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c) Bank may debit the Designated Deposit Account (or, if funds in the Designated Deposit Account are insufficient or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other account of any Borrower maintained with Bank), for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due under the Loan Documents. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

1.7Change in Circumstances.

EXECUTION VERSION

(a)Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, Bank, (ii) subject Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose on Bank any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Credit Extensions made by Bank, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Credit Extension (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Credit Extension), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of Bank, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting Bank regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Line, any term loan facility, or the Credit Extensions made by Bank to a level below that which Bank would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of Bank, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to subsection (a) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

1.8Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Lead Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrowers, then (i) Borrowers shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) Lead Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.8) Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)Tax Indemnification. Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, Lead Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Bank, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.8) payable or paid by Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Bank and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Lead Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.8, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Bank a certified copy of a

EXECUTION VERSION

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 Bank.

(e)Status of Bank. If Bank (including any assignee or successor) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by Lead Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Lead Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Bank, if reasonably requested by Lead Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Lead Borrower as will enable Borrowers to determine whether or not Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall deliver whichever of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN- E, IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8IMY is applicable, as well as any applicable supporting documentation or certifications.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Bank 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 this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of Bank, shall repay to Bank the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will Bank be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Bank 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

1.9Procedures for Borrowing.

(d)Any LIBOR Advances shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event that (i) an Event of Default exists, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Advances which have been previously converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base. Borrowers agree to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, debit the Designated Deposit Account (or, if funds in the Designated Deposit Account are insufficient or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other account of any Borrower maintained with Bank)) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 1.10(d).

(e) Notwithstanding, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Advances.

1.11 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Advances. Notwithstanding or in any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances as to the matters covered:

(a)Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Advances for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Lead Borrower.

(b)Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.

(i)In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Advance on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice to Lead Borrower of such determination, whereupon (A) no Advances may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (B) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Lead Borrower with respect to LIBOR Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be Prime Rate Advances unless such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be rescinded by Lead Borrower in writing within one (1) Business Day of Bank’s giving of notice of its inability to determine the applicable interest rate for LIBOR Advances pursuant to this Section 1.11(b)(i).

(ii)If at any time Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.11(b)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.11(b)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR reporting system or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Bank has made a public statement announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR, permanently or indefinitely, or that LIBOR is no longer representative, then Bank shall determine an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR and a spread adjustment mechanism that gives due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate or spread adjustment mechanism by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and/or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or any successor thereto and/or (2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to LIBOR for similarly situated loans in the United States at such time, and Bank shall amend this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, such spread adjustment, and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Bank shall provide Lead Borrower with notice of such amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.6, such amendment shall Loan Document, any

EXECUTION VERSION

amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Bank has provided such amendment to Lead Borrower without any further action or consent of Lead Borrower, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lead Borrower. In the event that Lead Borrower objects to such amendment, Bank and Lead Borrower shall endeavor to agree on an alternate rate of interest that is mutually acceptable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 1.11(b)(ii) (but in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 1.11(b)(ii), only to the extent that LIBOR for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any LIBOR Advances requested to be made shall be made as Prime Rate Advances, and (y) any outstanding LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Prime Rate Advances.

(c)Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. If (i) for any reason, other than a default by Bank or any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 1.12(c) and 1.12(d) of this Agreement, a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Notice of Borrowing was conditioned and was revoked prior to the borrowing date specified therein as the case may be, or (ii) any complete or partial principal payment or reduction of a LIBOR Advance, or any conversion of any LIBOR Advance, occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that LIBOR Advance, including due to voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration, then, in each case, Borrowers shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank, for all losses and expenses incurred by Bank in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of:

(A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount (1) not borrowed, converted or continued as provided in clause (i) above, or (2) paid, reduced or converted as provided in clause (ii) above, for the period from (y) the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, to (z) in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, the last day of the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuing but for such failure, and in the case of a payment, reduction or conversion prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance as provided in clause (ii) above, the last day of such Interest Period, in each case at the applicable rate of interest or other return for such LIBOR Advance(s) provided for herein (excluding, however, the LIBOR Rate Margin included therein, if any), over

(B) the interest which would have accrued to Bank on the applicable amount provided in clause (A) above through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, for a period equal to the remaining period of such applicable Interest Period provided in clause (A) above.

Bank’s request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation and such determination as to such compensation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 1.11 and under Section 1.12 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each relevant LIBOR Advance through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 1.11 and under Section 1.12.

(e)LIBOR Advances After an Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Lead Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 1.11(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Lead Borrower with

EXECUTION VERSION

respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Lead Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.

1.12Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances.

(a)Without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.7(a), Borrowers shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i)changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);

(ii)imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii)imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit

or liabilities).

Bank will any other party to any Loan Document. Bank will promptly notify Lead Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.12(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Lead Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 1.12(a). Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 1.12(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make LIBOR Advances, of making or maintaining LIBOR Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of LIBOR Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)Without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.7(b), if, prior to the termination of this Agreement, Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by Bank, Borrowers shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 1.12(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.12, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section 1.12(b) for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Lead Borrower of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c)(a) [Reserved].

EXECUTION VERSION

(d)1.11 If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon written notice from Bank, Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance and shall be obligated to pay amounts set forth in Section 1.11(c)(ii) in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance then being requested by Lead Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Lead Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 1.11(c)(ii), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by electronic means or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances by giving notice (by electronic means or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described abovethe effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of such benchmark rate.

2.3Conversion and Continuation Elections; Limitations on SOFR Tranches.

(a)Lead Borrower may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Advances to Prime Rate Advances by giving Bank prior notice in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election no later than 12:00

p.m. Pacific time one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of SOFR Advances may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any SOFR Advance in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered by Lead Borrower to Bank, Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(b)Lead Borrower may elect from time to time to continue any SOFR Advance by giving Bank prior notice of such election in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Advance; provided that no SOFR Advance may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that (x) if Lead Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically continued as SOFR Advances bearing interest at a rate based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR and with an Interest Period of the same length as then expiring Interest Period or (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Advances on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, each request for or conversion to a SOFR Advance shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Availability Amount is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of SOFR Advances and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (i) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Advances comprising each SOFR Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the SOFR Advances then outstanding), and (ii) no more than seven SOFR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

(d)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Lead Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a SOFR Advance, after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance, and (ii) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Lead Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Lead Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances, referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.

In the case of a continuation of a SOFR Advance or a conversion of a Prime Rate Advance to a SOFR Advance, if no Interest Period is specified in such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, an Interest Period of one month’s duration shall be deemed to have been selected.

2.4 Special Provisions Governing SOFR Advances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to SOFR Advances as to the matters covered herein:

(a)Inability to Determine Interest Rates. Subject to Section 2.4(b), as of any date,

(i)if Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii) Bank determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that “Adjusted Term SOFR” for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of making and maintaining such Advance;

Bank will promptly so notify Lead Borrower. Upon notice thereof by Bank to Lead Borrower, any obligation of Bank to make and any right of Lead Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until Bank revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Prime Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (y) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Prime Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting. If at any time Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.4(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.4(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the Term SOFR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Bank has made a public statement announcing that the Term SOFR Administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Term SOFR Reference Rate, permanently or indefinitely (provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Term SOFR Reference Rate), or that the Term SOFR Reference Rate is no longer representative, then Bank shall determine an alternate rate of interest to the Term SOFR Reference Rate and a spread adjustment mechanism that gives due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate or spread adjustment mechanism by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and/or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto and/or

(2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the Term SOFR Reference Rate for similarly situated loans in the United States at such time, and Bank shall amend this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, such spread adjustment, and other Conforming Changes as may be applicable; provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Bank shall provide Lead Borrower with notice of such amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.6 (Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration), such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Bank has provided such amendment to Lead Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrowers, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lead Borrower. In the event that Lead Borrower objects to such amendment, Bank and Lead Borrower shall endeavor to agree on an alternate rate of interest that is mutually acceptable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.4(b)

EXECUTION VERSION

(but in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 2.4(b), only to the extent that the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any SOFR Advances requested to be made shall be made as Prime Rate Advances, and (y) any outstanding SOFR Advances shall be converted to Prime Rate Advances on the date determined by Bank as notified by Bank to Lead Borrower.

(c) Indemnity. In the event of, (i) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Advance other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrowers shall compensate Bank for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

2.5 Illegality. If Bank determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Bank or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Advances, whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate, then, upon notice thereof by Bank to Lead Borrower (an “Illegality Notice”), any obligation of Bank to make, and the right of Lead Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended until Bank notifies Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from Bank, prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Advances to Prime Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

8BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(d)[reserved];

(e)verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing any Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds. Each Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

(f)make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(g)apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of each Borrower;

(h)ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. For use solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 8.1, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(j)demand and receive possession of each Borrower’s Books; and

(k)exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code or any Applicable Law (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

8.2Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, (a) exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (iii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank’s or such Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses); (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Xxxxxxxx’s insurance policies; (v) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (vi) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, to sign such Xxxxxxxx’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral. Bank’s foregoing appointment as such Xxxxxxxx’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until such time as all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations) have been satisfied in full, Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Bank shall not incur any liability in connection with or arising from the exercise of such power of attorney and shall have no obligation to exercise any of the foregoing rights and remedies.

8.3Protective Payments. If Lead Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 5.8 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which a Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide such Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

8.4Application of Payments and Proceeds. Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from any Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to any Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; such Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its commercially reasonable discretion, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

8.5Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession or under its control, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Bank deals with its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Each Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

8.6No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by each Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.

EXECUTION VERSION

No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

8.7Demand Waiver. Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which such Borrower is liable.

8.8Borrower Liability. Each Borrower (other than Lead Borrower) hereby appoints Lead Borrower as agent for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be liable for the Credit Extensions and Obligations as set forth on Schedule I hereto. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other Applicable Law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by any Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by any Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 8.8 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 8.8, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

10CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction with respect to the Loan Documents or to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Each of the parties hereto expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such party in accordance with, Section 9 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.

11GENERAL PROVISIONS

All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to

EXECUTION VERSION

So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrowers, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank. All notices of termination shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non- occurrence of any event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by written notice to Bank on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination and the repayment of all Obligations shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination and the repayment of all Obligations.

11.2Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Borrower may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion) and any other attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower shall be null and void. Bank has the right, with the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that, the prior written consent of Lead Borrower shall not be required if (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to an Affiliate of Bank; provided that Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Bank within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Bank and Borrowers hereby agree that prior to any sale, transfer, assignment of any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that results in more than one lender being party to this Agreement, they shall use commercially reasonably efforts to amend this Agreement to include customary syndicated-credit facilities voting provisions and customary yank-a-bank provisions; provided that such actions to amend this Agreement shall not be required to be taken prior to any sale, transfer or assignment if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c)Judgment Currency; Currency Indemnification. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Bank could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
