Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or the exercise of Agent’s judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (x) within the sole and absolute discretion of Agent and/or Lenders; and (y) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for such purpose executed by Agent.

Section 2Credit Facility.

2.1Term Loan Commitments.

On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make a multi-draw term loan to Borrower (each such loan, individually and collectively, a “Term Loan”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Term Loan Share of the Term Loan Commitment. The Commitments of Lenders to make any portion of the Term Loan shall terminate concurrently with the making of such portion of the Term Loan, such portion terminated to equal (i) on the Closing Date, the amount of the Term Loan set forth in Section 2.2.1, and (ii) on the date of the making of the Subsequent Term Loan, the amount of the Subsequent Term Loan set forth in Section 2.2.2. The Loan is not a revolving credit facility, and therefore any amount thereof that is repaid or prepaid by Borrower, in whole or in part, may not be re-borrowed.

2.2Loan Procedures.

2.2.1Initial Advance.

On the Closing Date, each Lender shall advance to Borrower an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of Twenty-One Million and No/100 Dollars ($21,000,000), upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions to closing described in Section 4 of this Agreement.

2.2.2Subsequent Term Loan.

So long as no Material Adverse Effect, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby and the Subsequent Term Loan Conditions have been satisfied on or before the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2023, upon Agent’s receipt of a written request from Borrower, on or before the date that the financial statements with respect to such Fiscal Quarter are required to be delivered in accordance with Section 6.1.2(a) hereof, for a subsequent advance of the Term Loan, each Lender shall make one (1) additional advance (within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Agent of such written request for advance) to Borrower in the amount equal to, but not less than, such lender’s Pro Rata Share of Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000).

2.3Commitments Several.

The failure of any Lender to make the initial Term Loan on the Closing Date or the Subsequent Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.2 above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make its Loan on the applicable date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Term Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.4Indebtedness Absolute; No Offset; Waiver.

The payment obligations of Borrower hereunder are absolute and unconditional, without any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense for any reason against Agent and Lenders to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As of the Closing Date, the Loan has not been compromised, adjusted, extended, satisfied, rescinded, set-off or modified, and the Loan Documents are not subject to any litigation, dispute, refund, claims of rescission, set-off, netting, counterclaim or defense whatsoever, including but not limited to, claims by or against any Loan Party or any other Person. Payment of the Obligations by Borrower, shall be made only by wire transfer, in Dollars, and in immediately available funds when due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, rescission, set-off, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deductible, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Loan, or otherwise. Without limitation to the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and notwithstanding any other term or provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives (and shall cause each Loan Party to waive) (a) presentment, protest and demand, notice of default (except as expressly required in the Loan Documents), notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of the Obligations, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, (c) any rights, legal or equitable, to require any marshaling of assets or to require foreclosure sales in a particular order, (d) all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law except as specifically required hereunder, (e) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale or any portion of the Collateral, (f) all rights of homestead, exemption, redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations in the event of foreclosure of the Liens created by the Loan Documents, (g) the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document and (h) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Loan Documents, it being agreed and acknowledged that such payment obligations are unconditional and irrevocable. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees (i) to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the Loan; (ii) that Agent shall not be required to first institute suit or exhaust its remedies hereon against others liable for repayment of all or any part of the Loan, whether primarily or secondarily (collectively, the “Obligors”), or to perfect or enforce its rights against any Obligor or any security for the Loan; and (iii) that its liability for payment of the Loan shall not be affected or impaired by any determination that any security interest or lien taken by Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders to secure the Loan is invalid or unperfected. Borrower acknowledges, warrants and represents in

connection with each waiver of any right or remedy of Borrower contained in any Loan Document, that it has been fully informed with respect to, and represented by counsel of its choice in connection with, such rights and remedies, and all such waivers, and after such advice and consultation, has presently and actually intended, with full knowledge of its rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to waive or relinquish such rights and remedies to the full extent specified in each such waiver.

2.5Loan Accounting.

2.5.1Recordkeeping.

Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records the date and amount of the Loan made by each Lender, each prepayment and repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be final, binding and conclusive absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon.

2.5.2Notes.

At the request of any Lender, the Loan of such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to such Lender in a face principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share and payable in such amounts and on such dates as are set forth herein.

2.6Payment of Interest.

2.6.1Interest Rates.

(a)The outstanding principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Contract Rate (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.6.1). Whenever, subsequent to the date hereof, the Term SOFR Rate is increased or decreased (as determined on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date), the Contract Rate, as set forth herein, shall be similarly changed effective as of such subsequent Payment Date, without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Term SOFR Rate on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to each such Payment Date. The interest due on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding as of any Payment Date shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed during the period in question on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be calculated by determining the daily principal balance outstanding for each day of such period in question. The daily rate shall be equal to 1/360th times the Contract Rate. If any statement furnished by Agent for the amount of a payment due exceeded the actual amount that should have been paid because the Term SOFR Rate decreased and such decrease was not reflected in such statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in such statement from Agent and Borrower shall receive a credit for the overpayment, which credit shall be applied towards the next subsequent payment due hereunder. If any statement furnished by Agent for the amount of a payment due was less than the actual amount that should have been paid because the Term SOFR Rate increased and such increase was not reflected in such statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in such statement from Agent and Borrower shall be required to pay any resulting underpayment with the next subsequent payment due hereunder.

(b)Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that any default on any payment, or portion thereof, due hereunder or to be made under any of the other Loan Documents, will result in losses and additional expenses to Agent in servicing the Loan, and in losses due to Lenders’ loss of the use of funds not timely received. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such Default, Lenders would be entitled to damages for the detriment proximately caused thereby, but that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of or compute such damages. Therefore, upon the Term Loan Maturity Date and/or upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default (or upon any acceleration), interest shall automatically accrue hereunder, without notice to Borrower, at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall be calculated and due from the date that the Default occurred which led to the Event of Default without regard to any grace or cure period as may be applicable and shall be payable upon demand.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate for any Loan (if applicable), together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder (if applicable), together with all charges payable in respect of the Loan, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest (if any) and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest (if any) and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

2.6.2Payments of Interest and Principal.

Borrower shall pay to Lenders all accrued interest on the Loan in arrears on each Payment Date (subject to Borrower’s rights in relation to PIK Interest in relation to any Payment Date as set forth in this Section 2.6.2), upon a prepayment of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.8 and at maturity in cash. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on any Payment Date occurring prior to (i) November 15, 2024 if the Subsequent Term Loan Conditions were not satisfied or (ii) November 17, 2025 if the Subsequent Term Loan Conditions were satisfied, Borrower, at its option, may elect, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a portion of the interest due on such Payment Date in-kind (“PIK Interest”) at a rate per annum of four and one-half of one percent (4.5%). For the avoidance of doubt, any such PIK Interest shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan effective as of the applicable Payment Date. Any partial prepayment of the Loan shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and so shall not reduce the amount of any quarterly principal amortization payment required pursuant to Section 2.9.1 (but this shall not be construed as permitting any partial prepayment other than as may be expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement).

2.7Fees.

(a)Exit Fee. Upon the Termination Date, Borrower shall pay an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in an amount equal to (i) six and one half of one percent (6.50%) multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Term Loan funded hereunder on or prior to such date plus (ii) $62,500, which Exit Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable on the Termination Date.

2.8Prepayment.

2.8.1Mandatory Prepayment.

(a)Borrower shall prepay the Obligations, or any portion thereof, as applicable, (which shall include the amounts due and payable under Section 2.7(b) hereof to the extent such prepayment results in a prepayment in full of the Term Loan) until paid in full within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by a Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds.

(b)In connection with any prepayment of the Term Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.8.1, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, any amounts that would otherwise be due and payable on such date had Borrower voluntarily prepaid the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.8.2 (in addition to any such prepayment of the Term Loan and related Obligations).

(c)To the extent the aggregate consideration of all assets sold or otherwise disposed of in any Fiscal Year pursuant to such Section 7.4(b) (iii) exceeds $1,000,000 in such Fiscal Year, Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such sale or disposition, make a mandatory Term Loan prepayment in an amount equal to the

difference between (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such sale or disposition, and (b) the quotient of (x) the Cash Gross Profit of Borrower generated by the assets sold or otherwise disposed of during the twelve (12) month period most-recently ended immediately prior to such sale or disposition, and (y) the Cash Gross Profit of Borrower for the twelve (12) month period most-recently ended immediately prior to such sale or disposition, and (ii) the difference between (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate consideration of all assets sold and or otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(iii) within such Fiscal Year. For the avoidance of doubt, any Net Cash Proceeds received in excess of the payment required pursuant to this Section 2.8.1(c) shall be retained by the Borrower.

2.8.2Voluntary Prepayment.

(a)Subject to clause (b) below, Borrower may, on at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice or telephonic notice (followed on the same Business Day by written confirmation thereof) to Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) not later than 12:00 noon Dallas time on such day, prepay the Term Loan and all related Obligations in whole (but not in part) at any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date. Such notice to Agent shall specify the amount and proposed date of such prepayment, and the application of such amounts to be prepaid shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.9.1(b) or 2.10.2 (as applicable).

(b)If Borrower makes a prepayment of the Term Loan under Section 2.8.2(a), it shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the following amounts (in addition to any such prepayment of the Term Loan and related Obligations) on the date of such prepayment: (i) if such prepayment is made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to (A) two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid plus (B) an amount equal to the aggregate interest that would have accrued pursuant to this Agreement in relation to the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid from the date of such prepayment through the first anniversary of the Closing Date assuming a static Contract Rate equal to the Contract Rate in effect on such date of prepayment, (ii) if such prepayment is made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid, and (iii) if such prepayment is made on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, zero percent (0%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, a permitted payment under this Section 2.8.2 is independent of and in addition to Revenue-Based-Payment Amounts that are credited toward the principal of the Loans under Section 2.9.1(b). Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, any prepayment of the Loans other than via the application of Revenue-Based-Payment Amounts made pursuant to Section 2.9.1 or Section 2.10.2, as applicable, shall be limited and governed by this Section 2.8.2.

2.9Repayment of Term Loan.

(a)During the period commencing on the date hereof until the Obligations are Paid in Full, Borrower promises to pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Term Loan Share, an amount based on a percentage of the aggregate of the Net Sales, Royalties and any other income or revenue realized by Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP (collectively, the “Aggregate Revenue”) in each Fiscal Quarter (the “Revenue-Based-Payment Amount”), which will be applied to the Obligations as provided in clause (b) below. The Revenue-Based-Payment Amount with respect to each Fiscal Quarter shall be applied by Borrower on the Payment Date next following the end of such Fiscal Quarter in accordance with clause (b) below.

In the event that the Revenue-Based-Payment Amount in relation to any Payment Date is insufficient for payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii) above for such Payment Date, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the extent of such insufficiency, in immediately available funds, within five (5) Business Days of request by Agent.

(c)In the event that Borrower makes any adjustment to Aggregate Revenue after it has been reported to Agent, and such adjustment results in an adjustment to the Revenue-Based-Payment Amount due to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.9.1, Borrower shall so notify Agent and such adjustment shall be captured, reported and reconciled with the next scheduled report and payment of Revenue-Based-Payment Amount hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Borrower shall discuss and agree on the amount of any such adjustment prior to it being given effect with respect to future Revenue-Based-Payment Amounts.

2.9.2Principal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and all other Obligations then due and owing shall be Paid in Full on the Termination Date.

All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, shall be made in immediately-available funds, via wire transfer as directed by Agent in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m. Dallas time on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the following Business Day. Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, Agent shall provide to Borrower and each Lender a quarterly statement with the amounts payable by Borrower to Agent on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.9.1(b) hereof, which shall include, for additional clarity, Agent’s calculation of the Revenue-Based-Payment Amount for the prior Fiscal Quarter, which statement shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such quarterly statement in relation to its payment obligations on such Payment Date.

2.10.2Application of Payments and Proceeds Following an Event of Default.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or if the Obligations have otherwise become or have been declared to become immediately due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, then notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Agent shall apply all or any part of payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of Collateral, in each case as received by Agent, to the payment of the Obligations in the order and priority as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.

2.10.3Set-off.

Borrower agrees that Agent and each Lender and its Affiliates have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower agrees that at any time an Event of Default exists, Agent and each Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower hereunder then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any rights described in the preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Agent.

2.10.4Proration of Payments.

If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of set-off or otherwise, on account of principal of, interest on or fees in relation to any Loan, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 10.5 or 10.8) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Term Loan Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of, interest on or fees in relation to such Term Loan then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

Section 3Yield Protection.

3.1Taxes.

(a)All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower to or for the account of Agent or any Lender shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes,

fees, duties, levies, withholdings or other similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that is a taxing authority (“Tax” or “Taxes”), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s net income (however denominated) or gross profits, and franchise taxes, imposed by any jurisdiction (or subdivision thereof) under the laws of which Agent or such Lender is organized or in which Agent or such Lender conducts business or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located at the time such Lender acquires its initial interest in any Term Loan Commitment, (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Agent or a Lender is located or conducts business; (iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office; (iv) any United States federal backup withholding tax; and (v) taxes imposed under FATCA; (vi) Taxes attributable to a Lender's failure to comply with Section 3.1(c) and (d) or a Foreign Lender's inability to provide the applicable IRS Form set forth in Section 3.1(c) to Borrower and Agent; (vii) with respect to Agent or any Lender, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Agent or Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document); and (viii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes, if any and not otherwise included in clauses (i) through (vii), imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment or changes its lending office (items in clauses (i) through (viii), “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower shall: (w) make such withholding or deduction; (x) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (y) as promptly as practicable forward to Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and (z) if the withholding or deduction is with respect to Indemnified Taxes, pay to Agent for the account of Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required.

(b)Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender for any Indemnified Taxes paid by Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder, and any additions to Tax, penalties and interest paid by Agent or such Lender with respect to such Indemnified Taxes; provided that Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify any party hereunder for any Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto that result from or are attributable to such party’s own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Payment under this Section 3.1(b) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Agent or the Lender, as applicable, makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that if such written demand is made more than one-hundred eighty (180) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Agent or the Lender, as applicable, pays such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto and (ii) the date on which the applicable Governmental Authority makes written demand on Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto, then Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Agent or such Lender for such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto.

(c)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 the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 (c)(i), (c)(ii) and (d) of this Section) 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.

(i)Each Foreign Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 10.8.1 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement:

(1)Two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE) claiming exemption from withholding of Taxes under an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(2)two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower claiming entitlement to the portfolio interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the IRC and certifying that such Foreign Lender is not (w) a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.881-3, (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), together with two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE); or

(4)if the Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of amounts paid to it hereunder, two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, each accompanied by a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE), IRS Form W-9 or a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate from each beneficial owner of such amounts claiming entitlement to exemption from withholding or backup withholding of Taxes; 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.

Each Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date any prior form previously provided under this clause (c) becomes obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (c) or from time to time if requested by Borrower or Agent.

(ii)Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from backup withholding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 with respect to any Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (or any additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto) (A) on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption provided by a Lender pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (d), or (B) if such Lender shall fail to comply with the certification requirements of this clause (c) and clause (d). For the avoidance of doubt, all references to IRS Forms in this clause (c) shall include, in each case, any successor form.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall timely comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent sufficient for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(e)If Agent or a Lender determines that it is entitled to or has received a refund or credit of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified by Borrower (or another Loan Party) or with respect to which Borrower (or another

Loan Party) shall have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall promptly notify Borrower of such refund or credit, and promptly make an appropriate claim to the relevant Governmental Authority for such refund or credit (if it has not previously done so). If Agent or a Lender receives a refund or credit (whether or not pursuant to such claim) of such Taxes, it shall promptly pay over such refund or credit to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Loan Parties under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented third-party expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay to Agent or such Lender the amount paid over to Borrower in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.1(e) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to alter its internal practices or procedures with respect to the administration of Taxes.

(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.2Increased Cost.

(a)If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule, directive or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule, directive or regulation by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be considered a change in applicable law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender; or (ii) shall impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its ability to make loans based on the Term SOFR Rate or its obligation to make loans based on the Term SOFR Rate; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining any loan based on the Term SOFR Rate, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), and without duplication of other payment obligations of Borrower hereunder (including pursuant to Section 3.1), Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one-hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such one-hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.2(a) and (b) will not apply to any such increased costs or reductions resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 3.1 shall govern.

(b)If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any change after the Closing Date in, or the adoption or phase-in after the Closing Date of, any applicable law, rule, directive or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive issued after the Closing Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be considered a change in applicable law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into

consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days of demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one-hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such one-hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(c)Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (i) make, issue, fund or maintain its Loans through another office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this clause (c) unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this clause (c) (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.3[Reserved].

3.4Manner of Funding; Alternate Funding Offices.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it may determine at its sole discretion. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment to make the Term Loan by causing any branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 3.1) such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

3.5Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival.

Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

Section 9Agent.

9.1Appointment; Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

9.2Delegation of Duties.

Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

9.3Limited Liability.

None of Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party.

9.4Reliance.

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

9.5Notice of Default.

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.2; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.6Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,

prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party which may come into the possession of Agent.

9.7Indemnification.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and out-of-pocket expenses, including Legal Costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

9.8Agent Individually.

SWK and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Loan Party and any Affiliate of any Loan Party as though SWK were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, SWK or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), SWK and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though SWK were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include SWK and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

9.9Successor Agent.

Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to Lenders and Borrower (unless during the existence of an Event of Default such notice is waived by Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf of, and after consulting with Lenders and (so long as no Event of Default exists) Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent becomes effective, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue so to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit so long as retiring Agent shall continue to so hold such collateral security.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Collateral.

9.10Collateral and Guarantee Matters.

Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; (b) notwithstanding Section 10.1(a)(ii) hereof to release any party from its guaranty under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full or (ii) if such party was sold or is to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (c) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(d) (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full, (ii) in respect of property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement) or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if directed to do so in writing by Required Lenders.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Agent agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, such termination and release documentation as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence a Lien release that occurs pursuant to terms of this Section 9.10.

9.11Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements and/or subordination agreements in relation to any other Debt of Borrower entered into in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise approved by Required Lenders, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.11). Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any such intercreditor agreement and subordination agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to issue blockages notices in connection with any such Debt of Borrower and such intercreditor agreement and subordination agreement, or any replacement intercreditor agreement and/or subordination agreement, in its discretion or, at the direction of Required Lenders.

9.12Actions in Concert.

For the sake of clarity, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

(i)from Borrower for an assignment by a Lender to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund of a Lender, or any other financial institution (other than a vulture or distressed debt fund) that invests in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, but such Lender will give written notice to Borrower of any such assignment;

(iii)from Borrower or Agent for an assignment by SWK, as a Lender, to any Person for which SWK Advisors LLC acts as an investment advisor (or any similar type of representation or agency) pursuant to a written agreement, but SWK will give written notice to Borrower of any such assignment;

(iv)from Borrower or Agent for an assignment by a Lender of its Loans and its Note as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder); or

In connection with any enforcement of or foreclosure upon its security interests in any of the Assigned Rights, a Permitted Assignee, upon notice to Borrower, SWK and the other Lenders, shall be entitled to substitute itself, or its designee, for SWK as a Lender under this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the term “Permitted Assignee” shall mean any lender to or funding source of SWK or its Affiliate, together with its successors, assigns or designees (including, without limitation, any purchaser or other assignee of the Assigned Rights from such Person). Effective immediately upon

the replacement of SWK as a Lender under this Agreement by a Permitted Assignee in accordance with this clause (v), SWK shall automatically be deemed to have resigned as Agent pursuant to Section 9.9 of this Agreement (without the need for Agent giving advance written notice of such resignation as required pursuant to such Section 9.9), and Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent in accordance with Section 9.9 of this Agreement.

(b)From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder.

(c)Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest) owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.

10.9Participations.

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 10.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 2.10.4. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to such benefits unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with the documentation requirements of Section 3.1(c) as if it were a Lender and complies with such requirements, and provided, further, that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold). Any such Lender transferring a participation shall, as an agent for Borrower, maintain in the United

States a register to record the names, address, and interest, principal and other amounts owing to, each Participant. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
