Item 1.01	Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Loan and Security Agreement

On May 7, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), Beyond Meat, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), among the Company, as the borrower, Unprocessed Foods, LLC, an affiliate of the Ahimsa Foundation, as lender (“Unprocessed Foods”), the other lenders party thereto from time to time (together with Unprocessed Foods, the “Lenders”), and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries party thereto from time to time, as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders have agreed to provide for a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was undrawn on the Effective Date and the Company does not have any obligation to draw on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility under the Loan and Security Agreement. Ahimsa Foundation has agreed to ensure that Unprocessed Foods has sufficient capital to fund any Delayed Draw Term Loan requested by the Company under and pursuant to the terms of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and has committed to fund such amounts directly in the alternative. In connection with the entry into the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the Company agreed to pay the Lenders a non-refundable fee of $625,000.

The Delayed Draw Term Loans are available to be drawn in one or more draws until February 7, 2026, subject to a minimum borrowing requirement of $3 million and satisfaction or waiver by the Lenders of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. Any Delayed Draw Term Loans borrowed under the Loan and Security Agreement will mature on February 7, 2030 (the “Initial Maturity Date”), which date may be extended by the Company, with the relevant Lenders’ consent, with respect to all or any portion of any Delayed Draw Term Loan to a date which is not later than May 7, 2035

(such latter date, the “Extended Maturity Date”). Proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be used to repay, amortize or restructure any debt for borrowed money other than debt owed to the Lenders and debt incurred by a Loan Party to finance the purchase, construction or improvement of any asset or any services.

Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars and will accrue interest at a rate per annum of 12.0%; provided that if the maturity date of any Delayed Draw Term Loan has been extended after the Initial Maturity Date in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, then such rate per annum will be 17.5% after the Initial Maturity Date. Accrued but unpaid interest on each Delayed Draw Term Loan will be compounded on a quarterly basis and payable “in kind” by adding the amount of such accrued interest to the principal amount of the outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Company may prepay or repay the Delayed Draw Term Loans at any time so long as such payment is made together with an additional amount (the “MOIC Amount”) such that the aggregate multiple on the previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans (calculated as (x) the aggregate principal amount of the previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans (inclusive of any interest paid “in kind”) repaid in cash as of the date of such prepayment or repayment plus all interest received in cash by the Lenders as of such date divided by (y) the aggregate original principal amount of the previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans) is the amount sufficient to achieve no less than a 2.00 to 1.00 multiple of invested capital.

If all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are sold, leased, transferred, exclusively licensed or otherwise disposed (a “Liquidation Event”), then the Company will be required to prepay the Delayed Draw Term Loans and other amounts due and payable under the Loan and Security Agreement, including the MOIC Amount; provided that if such Liquidation Event occurs when a Loan Party is a debtor in an insolvency proceeding, then a termination fee (calculated as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement) will accompany such prepayment rather than the MOIC Amount. Further, if any proceeds of any Delayed Draw Term Loan are used for any purpose other than supporting the wellbeing of animals, our natural environment and all global citizens (such use, an “Inconsistent Use Event”), then the Company will be required to pay an aggregate amount equal to (i) the portion of the original principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan that is subject to such Inconsistent Use Event less (ii) the sum of (A) any amounts paid, repaid or prepaid with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Loan prior to such payment and (B) the aggregate value of any Warrants (as defined below) which have been cancelled in connection therewith, as such aggregate amount may be reduced in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Loan and Security Agreement includes covenants that (a) require the Company to maintain Liquidity (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of at least $15.0 million, (b) do not permit the Company’s cash interest payments due under all of the Loan Parties’ Subordinated Debt (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) and unsecured debt for borrowed money for any fiscal year of the Company, in the aggregate, to exceed $20.0 million, and (c) cap the amount of cash that can be used to repay the Company’s 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 at the maturity of such notes at $60.0 million, subject to increase to the extent of any equity raises by the Company. The Loan and Security Agreement contains additional covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Loan Parties and certain of their subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions, incur additional debt (including Subordinated Debt), engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change its business or make investments. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains other covenants, representations and events of default.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries will guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement. The Delayed Draw Term Loans are secured by a first-priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets, subject to certain exceptions, of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan and Security Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Warrant Agreement

On May 7, 2025, in connection with the entry into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company and the Lenders entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) setting forth the rights and obligations of the Company and the Lenders as holders (in such capacity, the “Holders”) in connection with warrants (the “Warrants”) representing such Holders’ right to purchase up to, in the aggregate, 9,558,635 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company (which represents 12.5% of Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 5, 2025) (the “Maximum Warrant Share Amount”) at an exercise price to be calculated as 115% of the average daily volume-weighted average prices of the Common Stock for the 30-day period beginning on May 8, 2025, subject to a minimum exercise price of $2.00 and a maximum exercise price of $3.75. The Loan and Security Agreement provides that at each funding date of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, the Company will execute and deliver to the applicable Lenders, Warrants representing the pro rata portion of the Maximum Warrant Share Amount based on the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans provided by such Lender on the date thereof. No Warrants have been issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement as of the date hereof.

The Warrants are exercisable by the Holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the Warrant Agreement by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise. Promptly upon receipt of such exercise notice and the payment of the exercise price, and in no event later than two (2) business days thereafter, the Company will issue to such Holder the whole number of shares of Common Stock purchased plus an amount in cash representing any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon such exercise.

The Warrants will be exercisable by payment in cash from time to time until or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial issuance of any Warrants, which is expected to occur on the initial funding date of any Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, including a weighted average adjustment for certain below-market issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, subject to exceptions set forth in the Warrant Agreement. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Warrant Agreement and all rights thereunder are transferable by the Holder subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement.

The Company agreed in the Warrant Agreement to provide certain customary registration rights with respect to the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants held by or issuable to the Holders from time to time. The Warrant Agreement also contains customary indemnity, exculpation and contribution obligations in connection with such registration.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Matters

The foregoing descriptions have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions described above, and are not intended to provide any factual information about the parties or the Company’s business. The Loan and Security Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made solely for the benefit of each other. These representations and warranties (a) may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (b) may apply materiality standards different from

what may be viewed as material to investors and shareholders, and (c) are made only as of the date of the Loan and Security Agreement, and/or as of such other date or dates as may be specified in the Loan and Security Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Loan and Security Agreement, which information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Investors and shareholders are urged not to rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances regarding the Company at this time or any other time.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the timing and amount of any funding and/or issuance of Warrants under the Loan and Security Agreement. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as

assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made or implied herein including the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 to be filed with the SEC, as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If it does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

---	---

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 5(d)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than (x) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Section 5(d)(i)(3)(A) will apply or (y) pursuant to a Degressive Issuance for which an adjustment to the Strike Price is required pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(6)) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Record Date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)):

where:

SP 0  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the<br>Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP 1  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such<br>Ex-Dividend Date;

OS  =	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
---	---

• 17 -

Y  =	a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such<br>rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is<br>announced; and
X  =	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.<br>
---	---

To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

For purposes of this Section 5(d)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors acting in good faith.

(3) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(A) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(I) any distribution pursuant to a Degressive Issuance for which an adjustment to the Strike Price is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(d)(iii)) pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(6);

• 18 -

(II) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Strike Price is required pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(1) or 5(d)(i)(2);

(III) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Strike Price is required pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(4);

(IV) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan;

(V) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Strike Price is required pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(3)(B);

(VI) a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5(d)(i)(5) will apply; and

(VII) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply,

then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)):

where:

SP 0  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the<br>Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP 1  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such<br>Ex-Dividend Date;
---	---
P    =	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
---	---
FMV  =	the fair market value (as determined in good faith by Board of Directors, in a commercially reasonable manner),<br>as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;<br>
---	---

• 19 -

provided, however, that, if FMV is equal to or greater than P, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Strike Price (and the corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying<br>Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)), each Holder will receive, for each Warrant held by such Holder on the Record Date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common<br>Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received in such distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of<br>shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant as of on such Record Date.

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(B) Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate or Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5(d)(i)(5) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)):

where:

SP 0  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;
SP 1  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;
---	---

• 20 -

P     =	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period; and
FMV  =	the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or<br>equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and<br>including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of “Last Reported Sale<br>Price,” “Trading Day” and “Market Disruption Event” were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per<br>share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off.
---	---

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(d)(i)(3)(B), if any Warrant is Exercised and the Exercise Date for such Exercise occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Exercise Consideration for such Exercise, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Exercise Date.

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5(d)(i)(3)(B) is declared but not made or paid, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(4) Cash Dividends orDistributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)):

where:

SP 0  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the<br>Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

• 21 -

SP 1  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such<br>Ex-Dividend Date;
P    =	the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
---	---
D    =	the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.
---	---

provided, however, that, if D is equal to or greater than P, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Strike Price (and the corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)), each Holder will receive, for each Warrant held by such Holder on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received in such dividend or distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant as of such Record Date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(5) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment or gives consideration in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner) of the cash or other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)):

where:

SP 0  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the<br>Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer;

• 22 -

SP 1  =	the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the<br>Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period;
P    =	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;
---	---
OS 0  =	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the time (the “ExpirationTime”) such tender or exchange offer expires (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
---	---
AC   =	the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time in good faith by the Board of Directors) of all cash<br>and other consideration paid or exchanged for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; and
---	---
OS 1  =	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of<br>Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
---	---

provided, however, that the Strike Price will in no event be adjusted up pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i)(5), and the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants will in no event be adjusted down in the corresponding adjustment pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7), in each case except to the extent provided in the last paragraph of this Section 5(d)(i)(5).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(d)(i)(5), if any Warrant is Exercised and the Exercise Date for such Exercise occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Exercise Consideration for such Exercise, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date for such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Exercise Date.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

• 23 -

(6) Degressive Issuances. If, on or after the Initial Issue Date, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries issues or otherwise sells any shares of Common Stock, or any Equity-Linked Securities, in each case at an Effective Price per share of Common Stock that is less than the Market Price as of the date of the issuance or sale of such shares or Equity-Linked Securities if such date is a Trading Day, and otherwise the last Trading Day preceding such date (such an issuance, sale, exchange or disposition for value, a “Degressive Issuance”), then, effective as of the Close of Business on the date of the issuance of such shares or Equity-Linked Securities, the Strike Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Weighted Average Issuance Adjustment. For these purposes, the “Weighted Average Issuance Adjustment” will be equal to:

where:

MP  =	the Market Price as of the date of the issuance or sale of such shares or Equity-Linked Securities if such date<br>is a Trading Day, and otherwise the last Trading Day preceding such date;
OS  =	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Degressive Issuance, plus,<br>without duplication, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying all Equity-Linked Securities of the Company (other than the Equity-Linked Securities, if any, issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance) outstanding immediately before<br>such Degressive Issuance;
---	---
EP  =	the Effective Price per share of Common Stock in such Degressive Issuance; provided, however,<br>that if such Degressive Issuance involves the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or Equity-Linked Securities at differing Effective Prices, then EP will be calculated as the weighted-average of such Effective Prices, with each such<br>Effective Price being weighted by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold at such Effective Price in such Degressive Issuance or the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked Securities issued or sold at such<br>Effective Price in such Degressive Issuance, as applicable; and
---	---
X   =	the sum, without duplication, of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold in such<br>Degressive Issuance; and (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked Securities issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance;
---	---

• 24 -

provided, however, that (A) the Strike Price will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i)(6) as a result of an Exempt Issuance; (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such Equity-Linked Securities for which the Strike Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i)(6) will not constitute an additional issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5(d)(i)(6) if the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Equity-Linked Securities as set forth in the agreements or instruments governing such Equity-Linked Securities as in effect on their initial issuance date and without giving effect to any amendments to such agreements or instruments made after the initial issuance (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the issuance or sale of such Equity-Linked Securities, or any re-pricing or amendment thereof, will be subject to this Section 5(d)(i)(6)); and (C) in no event will the Strike Price be (I) increased pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i)(6) or (II) decreased below $1.40 pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i)(6). For purposes of this Section 5(d)(i)(6), any re-pricing or amendment of any Equity-Linked Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity-Linked Securities existing as of the Initial Issue Date) will be deemed to be the issuance of additional Equity-Linked Securities, without affecting any prior adjustments theretofore made to the Strike Price.

(7) Adjustment to the Number of Underlying Shares. If the Strike Price is adjusted pursuant to the formulas set forth in any of clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 5(d)(i) (excluding, for these purposes, a readjustment pursuant to the text following such formulas), then, effective as of the same time at which such adjustment to the Strike Price becomes effective, the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be adjusted to an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant in effect immediately before such adjustment to such number of Underlying Shares; and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Strike Price in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Strike Price; and (y) the Strike Price in effect immediately after such adjustment to the Strike Price; provided, however, that the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be subject to readjustment to the extent set forth in such clauses. For purposes of calculating the adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount set forth in clause (B)(y) of the preceding sentence will calculated without giving effect to any rounding pursuant to Section 5(d)(vii).

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Exercising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(d)(i), the Company is not required to adjust the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant for a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 5(d)(i)(1), a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section **5(d)(i)(5)**or a Degressive Issuance) if each Holder participates, at

• 25 -

the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of the Warrants, in such transaction or event without having to Exercise such Holder’s Warrants and as if such Holder had owned, on the Record Date for such transaction or event, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Underlying Shares, as of such Record Date, of the Warrants held by such Holder on such Record Date.

(2) Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant except pursuant to Section 5(d)(i). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be required to adjust the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant on account of:

(A) an Exempt Issuance; or

(B) solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(iii) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, if:

(1) a Warrant is Exercised;

(2) the Record Date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(6)) has occurred on or before the Exercise Date for such Exercise, but an adjustment to the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants for such event has not yet become effective as of such Exercise Date;

(3) the Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and

(4) such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related Record Date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such Exercise, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Exercise Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such Exercise until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

(iv) Adjustments Where Exercising Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, if:

• 26 -

(1) an adjustment to the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(6));

(2) a Warrant is Exercised;

(3) the Exercise Date for such Exercise occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date;

(4) the Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Strike Price or number of Underlying Shares that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

(5) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii)),

then such adjustment will not be given effect for such Exercise and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise based on such unadjusted Strike Price and unadjusted number of Underlying Shares will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Exercise Consideration otherwise due upon such Exercise, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(v) [Reserved].

(vi) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 5(d)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(vii) Rounding of Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Strike Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest cent (with half of one cent rounded upwards), and all calculations with respect to the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(viii) Notice of Strike Price and Number of Underlying Shares Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(d)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Strike Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; (3) a brief description of any corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant; and (4) the effective time of such adjustment.

• 27 -

(e) Voluntary Adjustments.

(i) Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) decrease the Strike Price by any amount, or increase the number of Underlying Shares of each outstanding Warrant by any amount, if (1) the Board of Directors determines that such decrease or increase, as applicable, is in the Company’s best interest or that such decrease or increase, as applicable, is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such decrease or increase, as applicable, is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such decrease or increase, as applicable, is irrevocable during such period.

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Adjustment. If the Board of Directors determines to decrease the Strike Price or increase the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(e)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 5(e)(i), the Company will send notice to each Holder of such decrease or increase, as applicable, quantifying the amount thereof and stating the period during which such decrease or increase, as applicable, will be in effect.

(f) Adjustments Effective Without Need to Amend Certificates. An adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d) or 5(e) will be effective without the need to notate the same on, or otherwise amend, the Certificate representing such Warrant.

(g) Effect of Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4) other similar event,

• 28 -

and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “ReferenceProperty,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement,

(A) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) subject to clauses (B) and (C) below, the consideration due upon Exercise of any Warrant will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 5 or in Section 6, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units;

(B) if such Reference Property Unit includes, but does not consist entirely of, cash (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that clause (C) below will apply instead of this clause (B) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash), then, from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, there will be deducted or removed, as applicable, from the Aggregate Strike Price otherwise payable to Exercise any Warrant pursuant to Section 5(b)(i), and from the cash that would otherwise be included in the Exercise Consideration due, pursuant to Section 5(c), to settle such Exercise, a cash amount equal to the product of (I) the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant that are being so Exercised; and (II) the lesser of (x) the Strike Price on the Exercise Date for such Exercise; and (y) the amount of cash included in such Reference Property Unit;

(C) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, no payment of the Aggregate Strike Price will be required to Exercise any Warrant; and (II) the Company will settle each Exercise of any Warrant whose Exercise Date occurs on or after the date of the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event by paying, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after such Exercise Date, cash in an amount equal to the product of (I) the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant that are being so Exercised; and (II) the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of cash included in such Reference Property Unit over (y) the Strike Price (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount set forth in this clause (II) will be zero if the amount set forth in clause (x) is not greater than the amount set forth in clause (y)); and

(D) for these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

• 29 -

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

(ii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5(g).

(iii) Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable (which supplemental instruments will, for the avoidance of doubt, not require the consent of any Holder) to (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 5(g); and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 5(g)(i). If the Successor Person is not the Company, or the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then the Company will cause such Successor Person or Person, as applicable, to execute and deliver a joinder to this Warrant Agreement assuming the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement, or the obligation to deliver such Reference Property upon Exercise of the Warrants, as applicable.

(iv) Notice of Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event.

Section 6. CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Warrant Agreement requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate or an adjustment to the Strike Price), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Strike Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(b) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. At all times when any Warrant is outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes), for delivery upon Exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the Exercise of all Warrant(s) then outstanding (assuming, for these purposes, that each such Warrant is settled by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant, as such number of Underlying Shares may be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(d) and Section 5(e)). To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Warrant Agreement to deliver shares of Common Stock, each reference in this Warrant Agreement to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery.

• 30 -

(c) Status of Shares of Common Stock ; Covenant Regarding Par Value. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. The Company will not engage in any transaction or take any action that would cause the Strike Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(d) Taxes Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any issue or transfer tax or duty (except any applicable stamp duties) due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Common Stock upon exercise hereof.

The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.

(b) Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder.

Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Notices.

(i) Notices to Holders. All notices or communications required to be made to a Holder pursuant to this Warrant Agreement must be made in writing and will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing if (1) mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to its address shown on the Register; or (2) transmitted by facsimile or by electronic transmission

• 31 -

or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication to the facsimile or electronic address, as applicable, of such Holder shown on the Register, provided receipt of such facsimile or electronic transmission or communication is acknowledged.

(ii) Notice Effectiveness. If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above in this Section 8(a) within the time prescribed, it will be deemed to have been duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it (except to the extent, but only to the extent, acknowledgement of receipt is expressly required by this Section 8(a)).

(b) Withholding Taxes and Forms. Each Holder agrees that applicable withholding taxes (including backup withholding) may be withheld from payments and deemed payments on or with respect to this Warrant, and if any such withholding taxes (including backup withholding) are paid on behalf of the Holder, then those withholding taxes may be set off against payments of cash or the delivery of shares of Common Stock or other consideration, if any, in respect of this Warrant (or any payments on Common Stock) or sales proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, the Holder. On the Initial Issue Date (or in the case of any transferee, the date such transferee becomes a Holder), and thereinafter upon reasonable request or as required under applicable law, the Holder shall deliver to the Company an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or, in the alternative (and only in the event that the Company has consented to the transfer or assignment of the Warrant to such Holder that is a non-U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (together with any appropriate attachments), as applicable, and, if required, such other tax forms reasonably requested by the Company or other applicable withholding agent to establish an exemption from United States withholding tax on payments and deliveries hereunder as well as an exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding that may apply to any dividend or constructive dividend (e.g., under Section 305(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The Company may determine in its reasonable discretion the amount and the timing of any such constructive dividend.

(c) Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT AND THE WARRANTS, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, THE WARRANTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS.

(d) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant Agreement may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to

• 32 -

such party’s address set forth in Section 8(a) will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each of the Company and each Holder (by its execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement or by its acceptance of any Warrant) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(e) No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Neither this Warrant Agreement nor the Warrants may be used to interpret any other agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person, and no such other agreement may be used to interpret this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants.

(f) Successors; Benefits of Warrant Agreement. All agreements of the Company in this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants will bind its successors. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Warrant Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and for the Holders, as such, from time to time, and nothing in this Warrant Agreement, or anything that may be implied from any provision of this Warrant Agreement, will confer on any other Person any right, claim or remedy.

(g) Severability. If any provision of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(h) Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The table of contents and the headings of the Sections and sub-Sections of this Warrant Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Warrant Agreement and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

(i) Entire Agreement. This Warrant Agreement, including all Exhibits and Schedules hereto, together with the Loan Agreement and Side Letter, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter covered hereby and thereby, and supersedes in their entirety all other agreements or understandings between or among the parties with respect to such specific subject matter.

(j) Remedies. The Company agrees that, upon an actual or threatened breach by it of any of its obligations under this Warrant Agreement, the affected Holders would experience irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and such Holders will be entitled to equitable relief in respect thereof, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to such Holders. Nothing in this Warrant Agreement will preclude any rights or remedies that would be available to any Holder at law, in equity or otherwise, which rights or remedies will be in addition to, and not in substitution of, any rights or remedies of such Holder set forth in this Warrant Agreement.

• 33 -

(k) No Other Rights. The Warrants will confer no rights to the Holders thereof except as provided in this Warrant Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the operation of Sections 5(d)(iv), 5(d)(ii)(1) and 5(b)(ii), and the provisos to Sections 5(d)(i)(3)(A) and 5(d)(i)(4), the Warrants will not confer to the Holders thereof any rights as stockholders of the Company.

(l) No Obligation toPurchase Securities of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent any Exercise Shares (or other Exercise Consideration consisting of any securities of the Company) is deliverable in connection with the due Exercise of any Warrant, nothing in this Warrant Agreement will impose on any Holder any obligation to purchase any securities of the Company.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 1. SHELF REGISTRATION.

(a) Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) as soon as practicable, but in no case later than forty-five calendar days after the Initial Issue Date of the initial Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if the Company is not then eligible, on Form S-1) or any successor form thereto or analogous registration statement form under the Securities Act covering the resale by the Holder(s) of the maximum number of Registrable Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Holder(s) under Rule 415 at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices). The Registration Statement shall contain “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the ninety (90) days following the initial filing of the Registration Statement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). By 9:30 am on the business day following the date of effectiveness, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a draft of the Registration Statement to the Holder(s) for their review and comment. The Holder(s) shall furnish comments on the Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours of the receipt thereof from the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is making no commitment herein to facilitate any resale of Registered Securities on an underwritten basis.

(b) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. If at any time all Registrable Securities are not covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a) for any reason, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC one or more additional Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case as soon as practicable (taking into account any position of the staff of the SEC with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such additional Registration Statement(s) to be filed with the SEC and the rules and regulations of the SEC). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filling thereof with the SEC.

(1) During the Registration Period, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with a Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, (ii) prepare and file with the SEC additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities;

E-1

(iii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holder(s) true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Holder which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and (v) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 1(b)(1)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

(2) Reduction of Registrable Securities Included in a Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the SEC requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement in order to allow the Company to rely on Rule 415 with respect to a Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (after consultation with the Holder(s) as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) to the maximum number of securities as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more New Registration Statements with the Commission in accordance with Section 1(b) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the Prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Holder(s).

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Registration Procedures. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding, to take such actions as are under its control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and, if it becomes eligible for such status in the future, to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as expeditiously as possible following the Initial Issue Date in accordance with this Exhibit E. Accordingly, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

E-2

(i) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement promptly to become and remain effective for a period of time required for the disposition of such securities by the holders thereof; provided, however, that before filing such Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto (for purposes of this subsection, amendments and supplements shall not be deemed to include any filing that the Company is required to make pursuant to the Exchange Act), the Company shall furnish the Holder(s) copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel. The Company shall not be deemed to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in the Holders of such Registrable Securities not being able to sell such Registrable Securities during that period, unless such action is required under applicable law, and in any event, subject to the provisions of Section 5 below;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in a public offering;

(iii) furnish to such selling Holder(s) such number of conformed copies of the applicable Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto, and of any summary prospectus or other prospectus, including any preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as each Holder of such securities shall reasonably request, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business, subject itself to taxation in or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this Agreement (including this Exhibit E) be obligated to do so; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to qualify such Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction in which the securities regulatory authority requires that any Holder submit any Registrable Securities to the terms, provisions and restrictions of any escrow, lockup or similar agreement(s) for consent to sell Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction unless such Holder agrees to do so;

(v) [Reserved];

E-3

(vi) [Reserved];

(vii) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to the Holders no later than 45 days after the end of any twelve-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, or (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve-month periods;

(viii) use its reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are listed or traded;

(ix) notify the Holder(s) at any time when a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act because of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(x) give notice to the Holders:

(1) when such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein, or for additional information, except for amendments or supplements or additional information required to be delivered pursuant to the Exchange Act;

(3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(4) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(5) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in such Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made);

E-4

(xi) use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;)

(xii) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Agreement (including this Exhibit E), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement, if necessary, or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 4 of this Exhibit E to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then each Holder shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s possession, and the period of effectiveness of such Registration Statement provided for above shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date Holder(s) shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 4 of this Exhibit;

(xiii) [Reserved];

(xiv) use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of physical Certificates or physical certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holder(s); and

(xv) if requested by Holder(s) of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holder(s) of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith may reasonably request, in good faith, in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request.

To the extent permitted by the SEC rules and regulations, the parties agree that the Company may satisfy the obligations of filing a registration statement relating to Registrable Securities under this Agreement (including this Exhibit E) by filing any prospectus supplement to its existing effective registration statement.

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement (including this Exhibit E) in respect of the securities which are to be registered at the request of any Holder, that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the securities held by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action taken by the Company.

E-5

Section 2. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

(a) Generally. All expenses incurred in connection with each registration pursuant to Section 1 or Section 3 of this Exhibit E, excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions, but including all registration, filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting fees, fees of FINRA or listing fees, messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company, except that the Holder(s) shall bear and pay the (i) underwriting commissions and discounts applicable to securities offered for their account in connection with any registrations, filings and qualifications made pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) any fees and expenses incurred in respect of counsel or other advisors to the Holder(s).

Section 3. [RESERVED].

(a)

Section 4. BLACKOUT PERIODS. The Company shall have the right to delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement required pursuant to Section 1 or Section 3 of this Exhibit E during no more than two periods aggregating to not more than 90 days in any twelve-month period (a “Blackout Period”) in the event that (i) the Company would, in accordance with the advice of its counsel, be required to disclose in the prospectus information not otherwise then required by Law to be publicly disclosed and (ii) in the judgment of the Board, there is a reasonable likelihood that such disclosure, or any other action to be taken in connection with the prospectus, would materially and adversely affect or interfere with any financing, acquisition, merger, disposition of assets (not in the ordinary course of business), corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall delay during such Blackout Period the filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement required pursuant to the registration rights of the holders of any securities of the Company; provided, further, that the Company will not exercise its right to delay unless at the time of such delay the Company concurrently exercises similar black-out rights against holders of securities with similar rights as the Holder(s). The Company shall promptly give the Holder(s) written notice of such determination containing a general statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated duration of the delay.

for all of them unless there is an actual conflict of interest between any Indemnified Parties, which Indemnified Parties may be represented by separate counsel) in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) of this Exhibit E shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and provided, further, that the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Contribution.

(i) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) of this Exhibit E from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal and other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. If the allocation provided in this Section 5(b) of this Exhibit E is not permitted by applicable Law, the parties shall contribute based upon the relevant benefits received by the Company from the initial offering of the securities, on the one hand, and the net proceeds received by the Holder(s) from the sale of securities, on the other hand.

(ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(b) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(c) Notice of Indemnification. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any Action or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless and to the extent such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If notice of commencement of any such Action

E-8

is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, to assume the defense of such Action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Action, or (iii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that either (A) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (B) there are one or more legal defenses available to it which are substantially different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel.

(d) Survival. The agreements contained in this Section 5 of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination of this ExhibitE, the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any Holder and sale of all the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or such director, officer or participating or controlling Person.

Section 6. TERMINATION.

The terms of this Exhibit E shall cease to apply and Exhibit E shall have no further force or effect following the earlier of (i) date that is 6 years from the date of the Initial Issue Date of the initial Warrants and (ii) as to any Holder, the date that such Holder ceases to own, or have the right to exercise Warrants, for Registrable Securities.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 7, 2025 (the “EffectiveDate”), among UNPROCESSED FOODS, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“UF”), as a Lender, the other Lenders party hereto from time to time, BEYOND MEAT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and the Guarantors party hereto from time to time. The parties agree as follows:

1 LOAN AND TERMS OFPAYMENT

1.1 Term Loan.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon Borrower’s request, during the Draw Period, each of the Lenders shall severally make term loan advances to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Term Loan Availability Amount (each such advance by Lenders, a “Term LoanAdvance” and, collectively, the “Term Loan Advances”). Each Term Loan Advance by Lenders shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to or greater than $3,000,000; provided that a Term Loan Advance may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Term Loan Availability Amount. After repayment of any Term Loan Advance, such Term Loan Advance (or any portion thereof) may not be reborrowed under this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Borrowing. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Term Loan Advance set forth in this Agreement (which must be satisfied no later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the applicable Funding Date), to obtain a Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall notify Lenders (which notice shall be irrevocable) by 2:00 p.m. New York time four (4) Business Days prior to the Term Loan Advance. Such notice shall be made by electronic mail or by telephone and, concurrently with or promptly following such notification, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders by electronic mail a completed Advance Request Form executed by an Authorized Signer. Each Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom such Lender reasonably believes is an Authorized Signer. Lenders may make Term Loan Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from an Authorized Signer or without instructions if such Term Loan Advances are, in the judgment of Lenders in their sole discretion and judgment, necessary to protect the Collateral.

(c) Repayment. All unpaid principal of the Term Loan Advances outstanding, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other unpaid Obligations (including any MOIC Amount) then outstanding with respect to the Term Loan Advances are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(d) Optional Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the outstanding principal amount of any of the Term Loan Advances (including any PIK Interest), in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Prepayment Date, provided that Borrower delivers, at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Prepayment Date, written notice to Lenders stating the Prepayment Date and the aggregate principal amount of the prepayment. Upon the giving of any such notice of prepayment, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances specified in such notice to be prepaid, together with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Prepayment Date and any MOIC Amount, shall become due and payable on the Prepayment Date; provided that such notice may be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any Transfer, the consummation of a refinancing or other event, and the notice may be revoked and the amount specified to be prepaid therein shall not become due and payable on the Prepayment Date upon the failure of any one of such conditions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(d) shall be (x) applied to prepay principal and interest as directed by Borrower and (y) without premium or penalty (other than payment of any MOIC Amount or Termination Fee).

(e) Mandatory Prepayment Upon a Liquidation Event. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, Borrower shall, on or prior to the seventh (7th) Business Day following receipt by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower of Net Cash Proceeds from such Liquidation Event, pay to Lenders an aggregate amount equal to the sum

of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) all other sums (including the MOIC Amount or the Termination Fee, as applicable), if any, that shall then be due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advances, including any interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(e) shall be (x) applied pro rata to the outstanding Term Loan Advances and (y) without premium or penalty (other than payment of any MOIC Amount or Termination Fee).

(f) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Inconsistent Use Event. Upon becoming aware of any occurrence of an Inconsistent Use Event with respect to any Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lenders an aggregate amount equal to (i) the portion of the original principal amount of such Term Loan Advance that is subject to such Inconsistent Use Event less (ii) the sum of (A) any principal, interest or other amounts paid, repaid or prepaid with respect to such Term Loan Advance prior to such payment pursuant to this Section 1.1(f) and (B) the aggregate value of any Warrants cancelled in connection with and pursuant to Section 3.a. of the Side Letter (as determined as of the day of cancellation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model); provided that if the principal amount of the relevant Term Loan Advance prepaid pursuant to this Section 1.1(f) plus the MOIC Amount exceed the amount of the proceeds of the Term Loan Advance which were used for an Inconsistent Purpose, then the amount prepaid pursuant to this sentence shall be reduced by the amount of such excess (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such unpaid amounts of the Term Loan Advance and MOIC Amount shall remain outstanding). Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(f) shall be (x) applied solely to such Term Loan Advance, (y) without premium or penalty (other than the Termination Fee and MOIC Amount, if any) and (z) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, prepaid without any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and without any other sums, if any, that shall then be due and payable with respect to such Term Loan Advance (other than the Termination Fee and MOIC Amount, if any). In the event that the amount prepaid pursuant to this Section 1.1(f) plus any amount prepaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1(d) equals or exceeds the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan Advances made prior to any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(f), the provisions of the Side Letter shall no longer apply with respect to such Term Loan Advance.

(g) MOIC Amount and Termination Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 1.1, any optional or mandatory repayment or prepayment made pursuant to Section 1.1(c), (d), (e) or (f) shall be accompanied by an additional amount (such amount, the “MOIC Amount”) such that the aggregate multiple on the previously funded Term Loan Advances (calculated as (x) the aggregate principal amount of the previously funded Term Loan Advances (inclusive of PIK amounts) repaid in cash as of such date plus all interest thereon received in cash by Lenders as of such date divided by (y) the aggregate original principal amount of the previously funded Term Loan Advances) is the amount sufficient to achieve no less than a 2.00 to 1.00 multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”); provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing of this Section 1.1(g), in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 1.1(e), if the relevant Liquidation Event occurs when any Loan Party is a debtor in an Insolvency Proceeding, then any MOIC amount that would otherwise be due and payable shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Termination Fee, so that only the Termination Fee shall be due and payable.

(h) Tax Treatment. Borrower and Lenders agree to treat each Term Loan Advance as debt for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. Borrower and Lenders further agree to treat each Term Loan Advance, together with the Warrants associated with such Term Loan Advance, as an investment unit for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The “issue price” of each Term Loan Advance for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Warrants received by the Lender associated with such Term Loan Advance. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, parties hereto agree to file tax returns consistent with this Section 1.1(h).

(i) Liquidated Damages Fee. In addition, with respect to (a) any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment of the Term Loan Advances (i) made pursuant to Section 1.1(c), (d), (e) or (f), (ii) as a result of acceleration thereof and/or (iii) in connection with the payment in full of the Obligations and/or (b) the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to the (i) termination upon the election of the Required Lenders to terminate after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (or, in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.4 with respect to any Loan Party, automatically on the day immediately prior to the occurrence thereof), (ii) foreclosure and sale of all or substantially all Collateral, (iii) sale of all Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding or (iv) restructuring, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the consummation of a plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation or any other plan of compromise, restructuring, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, then, in

2

view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to Lenders or profits lost by Lenders as a result of such repayment, prepayment or early termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of Lenders, Borrower shall, in each case, of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), pay to Lenders a nonrefundable liquidated damages fee in an amount equal to the MOIC Amount or Termination Fee, as applicable, measured as of the date of such repayment, prepayment or termination, due and payable on the date of such repayment, prepayment or termination. All parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Lenders will have suffered damages on account of any prepayment or required prepayment of the Term Loan Advances and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, the MOIC Amount or Termination Fee, as applicable, constitute reasonable compensation and liquidated damages to compensate Lenders on account thereof.

(j) Agreements Concerning the MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee. The Loan Parties expressly agree that: (A) the MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee are reasonable and are the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee; (D) the Loan Parties’ agreement to pay the applicable MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee is a material inducement to Lenders to make the Term Loan Advances; and (E) the MOIC Amount and the Termination Fee represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to Lenders or profits lost by Lenders as a result of such acceleration.

1.2 Payment of Interest on the Term Loan Advances.

(a) Interest Payments. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan Advance shall be payable in arrears quarterly (A) on each Payment Date commencing on the first Payment Date following the Funding Date of such Term Loan Advance, (B) on any Prepayment Date and (C) on the Term Loan Maturity Date. All interest accrued and payable on any quarterly Payment Date will be paid by capitalizing such interest (“PIK Interest”) on such quarterly Payment Date by adding such amount to (and thereby increasing) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances, and thereafter all such interest shall be treated in all respects as outstanding principal of the Term Loan Advances under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Term Loan Advances, accrued interest (including PIK Interest) on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(b) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 1.2(c), the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loan Advance shall bear interest at a per annum fixed rate equal to 12.0%; provided that at any time after the Initial Maturity Date has been extended in accordance with Section 1.7, the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loan Advance shall bear interest at a per annum fixed rate equal to 17.5%. Accrued but unpaid interest on each Term Loan Advance shall be payable in accordance with Section 1.2(a), shall continue to accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to such Term Loan Advance, and shall be compounded on a quarterly basis.

(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Lenders’ request, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2.25 percent (2.25%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 1.2(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 Lenders.

(d) Interest Computation. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In computing interest, the date of the making of any Term Loan Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Term Loan Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Term Loan Advance.

1.3 Fees. **** Borrower shall pay to UF the Commitment Fee in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter and Section 2.1(a)(ii).

3

1.4 Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction, before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 3:00 p.m. New York 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) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Required Lenders shall have the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied and Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lenders shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Lenders or otherwise received by Lenders under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

1.5 Change in Circumstances.

(a) Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, 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, any Lender, (ii) subject any Lender 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 any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term Loan Advances made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon written request of such Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, as the case may be, as specified in Section 1.5(a) or (b) and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lenders to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall not constitute a waiver of Lenders’ right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lenders pursuant to Section 1.5(a) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that Lenders notify 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 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

4

1.6 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower 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 Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then (i) Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) 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 Borrower 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 1.6) each Lender 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 Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.6(a), Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Tax Indemnification. Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.6(a) and (b), Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Lender, 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 1.6) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender 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 Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.6, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lenders.

(e) Status of Lenders. If any Lender (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 Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower 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 an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) an executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as well as any applicable supporting documentation or certifications, certifying that such Lender (or if such Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole regarded owner) is a U.S. person and exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax (or, only in the event that Borrower has consented to the transfer or assignment of the applicable Obligation to such Lender that is a non-U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (together with any appropriate attachments), showing full exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments of interest on the date such Lender acquires such Obligation). If a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender was to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

5

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender 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 1.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.6), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 1.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of any Lender, shall repay to such Lender 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 such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender 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 (f) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 1.6 shall survive 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.

1.7 Extension of Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time and from time to time, Borrower may request, and any Lender may agree, to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to all or any portion of such Lender’s Term Loan Advances to a date (such date as such Lender and Borrower agree, the “ExtendedMaturity Date”) after the Initial Maturity Date or after an Extended Maturity Date, as applicable; provided that (i) no Lender shall be required to agree to any such extension and any such agreement by a Lender shall be in its sole discretion and (ii) the Term Loan Maturity Date shall not be extended to a date after May 7, 2035. Any such extension under this Section 1.7 shall only require the consent of Borrower and the Lender so agreeing to such extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, starting on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the making of each Term Loan Advance (or any portion thereof) and prior to the end of each accrual period thereafter, Borrower shall pay a minimum amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on such Term Loan Advance (or the applicable portion thereof) in cash as Borrower reasonably determines is necessary to ensure that such Term Loan Advance (or the applicable portion thereof) shall not be considered an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor provision.

Lenders shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

8.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lenders’ failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lenders thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. 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. Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lenders’ exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lenders from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lenders’ delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

22

8.6 Demand Waiver. 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 Lenders on which Borrower is liable.

10 GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

10.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or New York state court sitting in New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in the second sentence of this Section 10.1. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

If a party is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the relevant power of attorney is expressed to be governed by Dutch or any other law, that choice of law is hereby accepted by each other party, in accordance with Article 14 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Agency of 14 March 1978.

10.2 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY) OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

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

11 GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1 Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. 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 or reimbursement indemnity obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other

24

than inchoate indemnity or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date by Borrower, effective one (1) Business Day after written notice of termination is given to Lenders. 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.

11.2 Successors and Assigns; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Lenders’ prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Lenders’ sole discretion) and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower shall be null and void. Each Lender may sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Obligations and the Loan Documents (other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms thereof) without the consent of Borrower to one or more Affiliates of UF solely to the extent such Affiliates (i) are organized, formed or incorporated in the United States and (ii) do not operate within the same industry as any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (including, without limitation, by offering similar products to the same customer base as that of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof), and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, solely for the purpose of enforcing obligations set forth in Section 1.d. of the Side Letter, Ahimsa Foundation) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and, except for the foregoing Persons, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

11.3 Register. UF, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the applicable commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the applicable loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, UF and any other Lenders hereunder shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender hereunder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, UF (other than in its capacity as the seller of a participation) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

11.4 Expenses; Indemnification; Consequential Damages Waiver.

(a) Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lenders (or shall cause Lenders to be paid or reimbursed) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders (provided that expenses incurred for legal counsel shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees and charges of (x) one primary counsel for Lenders, taken as a whole, and (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction (but excluding allocated fees and costs of in-house counsel)), in connection with (i) the preparation and execution of, and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of, the Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) the enforcement, collection or protection of Lenders’ rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including Lenders’ rights under this Section 11.4(a), or in connection with the Term Loan Advances made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loan Advances; provided that Borrower shall only pay or reimburse Lenders (or cause Lenders to be paid or reimbursed) in an amount not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate for all of the expenses in immediately preceding clause (i) (other than amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents).

25

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lenders and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction (but excluding allocated fees and costs of an in-house counsel) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (1) the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (2) other material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnified Person or (y) arise out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of or by any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person. This Section 11.4(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person and no Indemnified Person shall assert, and each Indemnified Person hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) or any loss of profits arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan Advance, or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or their Affiliates or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 11.4 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

(e) This Section 11.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

11.5 Severability ofProvisions. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.6 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document (other than the Warrant), or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document (other than the Warrant), shall be effective unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by Borrower and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any amendment or modification of Article 3 and/or Article 12 of this Agreement, the Guarantors; provided that (x) any Person may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a Guaranty Joinder and delivering the same to Lenders in accordance with Section 12.13 and (y) Borrower and any Lender may agree to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to all or any portion of such Lender’s

26

Term Loan Advances in accordance with Section 1.7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents and the Side Letter represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.

11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.8 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to such Lender’s Affiliates and to such Lender’s and such Lender’s Affiliates’ respective employees, officers, directors and agents (including attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) (provided, however, that no such Person may operate within the same industry as any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (including, without limitation, by offering similar products to the same customer base as that of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof)); (b) to prospective transferees, assignees, credit providers or purchasers of such Lender’s interests under or in connection with this Agreement if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Information to be bound by and subject to provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.8 (provided, however, that (1) such Lender shall obtain any such prospective transferee’s, assignee’s, credit provider’s or purchaser’s agreement to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.7 and (2) such prospective transferee, assignee, credit provider or purchaser may not operate within the same industry as any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (including, without limitation, by offering similar products to the same customer base as that of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof); (c) to the extent required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other court order; (d) to such Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with such Lender’s examination or audit by a Governmental Authority; (e) in connection with the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; and (f) with the written prior consent of Borrower. “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Guarantor regarding Borrower, any Guarantor or the business of Borrower or of any Guarantor, in each case, other than information that is (i) in the public domain or in such Lender’s possession when disclosed to Lender, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by any Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to any Lender or (ii) disclosed to such Lender by a third party, if no Lender knows that the third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.

11.9 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.10 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of such Lender, and other obligations owing to such Lender, against any Obligations owing to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Loan Parties may be contingent or unmatured. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE A LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Borrower hereby agrees to take any action necessary to enable Lenders to comply with the requirements of Anti-Terrorism Law.

11.16 Automatic Release of Collateral and Guarantees. Each Lender hereby consents to the automatic release of, and hereby irrevocably directs UF to release, the following:

(a) any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations if all of the Equity Interests of such Person are Transferred to a Person which is not an Affiliate of any Loan Party in a transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement or if such Guarantor otherwise ceases to be a Loan Party or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary;

(b) any Lien held by UF or any other Lender against (i) any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of in a Transfer to a Person which is not an Affiliate of any Loan Party permitted under Section 6.1 (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any Collateral of a Loan Party that ceases to be a Loan Party or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (iii) property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement and (iv) on the Term Loan Maturity Date and upon the payment in full of all Obligations, all of the Collateral with respect to each Loan Party.

Each Lender hereby agrees to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform such actions, in each case, reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence the release of the Guarantees and Liens when and as requested pursuant to Section 3.3 and/or this Section 11.16.

12 GUARANTY

12.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Lender the prompt payment in full when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations, including all costs and expenses of the types described in Section 11.4 for which any Loan Party may be liable (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

28

12.2 Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right to require any Lender to sue Borrower or any Guarantor, or any other guarantor of, or any other Person obligated for, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “ObligatedParty”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

12.3 No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty. (1) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Borrower or any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or their assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement).

12.4 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower or any Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from the cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, other than, in each case, the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Any Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or

29

release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

12.5 Rights of Subrogation. No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party or any collateral, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), termination of this Agreement and/or release of this Guaranty in accordance with any relevant release provisions in this Agreement).

12.6 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Lender in its discretion), each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Lenders are in possession of this Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand.

12.7 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that no Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

12.8 Termination. Each Lender may continue to make Term Loan Advances or extend credit to Borrower based on this Guaranty until one (1) Business Day after it receives written notice of termination from any Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Guarantor will continue to be liable to Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the first day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 12.8 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies any Lender may have in respect of, any Event of Default that shall exist under Article 7 hereof as a result of any such notice of termination.

Beyond Meat President and CEO Ethan Brown commented, “As the first quarter of 2025 progressed to a close, we saw a slowdown in consumption as the uncertain macroeconomic environment likely exacerbated category challenges. Nevertheless, we drove year-over-year reductions in operating expenses, notwithstanding the impact of certain transitory items, to partially offset disappointing net revenues and gross profit.”

Brown continued, “In response to this interruption in our recovery, we are doubling down on cost-savings initiatives in support of our goal of achieving run-rate EBITDA-positive operations by year-end 2026. Further, we are pleased to announce that we have secured a $100 million new senior secured financing, as part of our ongoing efforts to address our balance sheet.”

First Quarter 2025

Net revenues decreased 9.1% to $68.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $75.6 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by an 11.2% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 2.4% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand in the U.S. retail and foodservice channels, which management believes was exacerbated by economic uncertainty and other macroeconomic trends during the quarter. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by lower trade discounts and price increases of certain of our products, partially offset by changes in product sales mix and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

U.S. retail channel net revenues decreased 15.4% to $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $37.1 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 23.2% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 10.0% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by lower trade discounts and price increases of certain of our products, partially offset by changes in product sales mix. U.S. retail channel net revenues included no ingredient sales in the quarter, compared to $1.6 million from ingredient sales in the year-ago period.

U.S. foodservice channel net revenues decreased 23.5% to $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $12.3 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 22.0% decrease in volume of products sold, and a 2.0% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and lower burger sales to a Quick Service Restaurant (“QSR”) customer. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by higher trade discounts and changes in product sales mix, partially offset by price increases of certain of our products.

International retail channel net revenues increased 0.8% to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $12.6 million in the year-ago period. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by a 10.3% increase in net revenue per pound, partially offset by an 8.6% decrease in volume of products sold. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix and lower trade discounts, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and price decreases of certain of our products. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily due to lower sales of the Company’s ground beef products.

International foodservice channel net revenues increased 12.1% to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $13.6 million in the year-ago period. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by a 13.5% increase in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in net revenue per pound. The increase in volume of products sold was primarily due to increased sales of chicken products to a QSR customer. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower trade discounts and price increases of certain of our products.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2025 was a loss of $1.1 million, or gross margin of -1.5%, compared to gross profit of $3.7 million, or gross margin of 4.9%, in the year-ago period. Gross profit and gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 included $4.3 million in non-cash charges arising from specific strategic decisions to increase inventory provision for certain inventory items, and $0.9 million in expenses related to the suspension of the Company’s operational activities in China, summarized in the table below. Additionally, gross profit and gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 were negatively impacted by increased cost of goods sold per pound, primarily reflecting decreased volume of products sold, partially offset by increased net revenue per pound. The increase in cost of goods sold per pound primarily reflected higher inventory provision and higher manufacturing costs, including depreciation, partially offset by lower materials costs and lower logistics costs.

Operating expenses were $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $57.1 million in the year-ago period. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 included $4.6 million in incremental legal fees associated with arbitration proceedings related to a contractual dispute with a former co-manufacturer, $1.3 million in non-cash charges arising from specific strategic decisions to increase inventory provision for donation of certain inventory items, and $1.2 million in expenses related to the suspension of our operational activities in China, summarized in the table below. The decrease in operating expenses compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by reduced general and administrative expenses, reduced commercialization expenses and reduced selling expenses. General and administrative expenses in the year-ago period included a $7.5 million accrual related to a binding settlement term sheet entered into on May 6, 2024 in connection with the settlement of certain consumer class action lawsuits that originated in 2022.

Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2025 was $56.2 million, compared to $53.5 million in the year-ago period. The increase in loss from operations was driven by the reduction in gross profit, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses.

The following table summarizes certain charges arising from recent specific strategic decisions recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2025 (unaudited):

(in thousands)
Charges recorded in cost of goods sold
Incremental provision for excess and obsolete inventory arising from strategic decisions	$	4,283

Expenses related to suspension of operational activities in China		1,186
Total charges recorded in operating expenses	$	7,152
Total	$	12,332

Total other income, net, was $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to total other expense, net, of $0.9 million in the year-ago period. The increase in total other income, net, was primarily due to an increase in net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains.

Net loss was $52.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $54.4 million in the year-ago period. Net loss per common share was $0.69 in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.84 in the year-ago period. The decrease in net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the increase in total other income, net, partially offset by the increase in loss from operations.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $42.3 million, or -61.6% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $32.9 million, or -43.5% of net revenues, in the year-ago period.

In light of this uncertainty, the Company is withdrawing its previous outlook for the full year 2025 and limiting its revised outlook to the following:

•	In the second quarter of 2025, net revenues are expected to be in the range of $80 million to<br>$85 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beyond Meat uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in assessing its operating performance and in its financial communications. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and for business planning purposes. Management also believes these measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, rating agencies and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of our operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

“Adjusted loss from operations” is defined as loss from operations adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company’s ongoing normal business activities.

“Adjusted operating margin” is defined as Adjusted loss from operations divided by net revenues.

“Adjusted net loss” is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company’s normal business activities.

“Adjusted net loss per diluted common share” is defined as Adjusted net loss divided by the number of diluted common shares outstanding.

We consider Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted common share to be useful indicators of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations. Adjusted net loss per diluted common share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, non-cash charges related to suspension of our operational activities in China, accrued litigation settlement costs and Other, net, including interest income, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

“Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss, Adjusted net loss per diluted common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues rather than their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations are:

•	Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted<br>common share exclude costs associated with activities deemed to be non-recurring or not part of the Company’s normal business activities, which are subjective determinations made by management and may not<br>actualize as expected;
•	Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss, Adjusted net loss per diluted common<br>share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues do not reflect accrued litigation settlement costs which reduce cash available to us;
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash<br>available to us;
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation expense and therefore does not include all of our<br>compensation costs;
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Other, net, including interest income and foreign currency transaction gains and<br>losses, that may increase or decrease cash available to us; and
---	---
•	other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted<br>operating margin, Adjusted net loss, Adjusted net loss per diluted common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following tables present the reconciliation of Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted common share to their most comparable GAAP measures, loss from operations, operating margin, net loss and net loss per share available to common stockholders—basic and diluted, respectively, each as reported (unaudited):

Exhibit 99.2

Beyond Meat^®^ Announces $100 Million New SeniorSecured Financing from Ahimsa Foundation Affiliate

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — May 7, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)—Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) (“Beyond Meat” or the “Company”), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced it has successfully closed on a financing facility providing up to $100 million in new senior secured debt from Unprocessed Foods, LLC (“Unprocessed Foods”), an affiliate of Ahimsa Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on advocating for plant-based diets.

“This facility provides us with additional liquidity as we advance our strategic priorities and invest opportunistically to help us drive our growth plans,” said Beyond Meat Founder, President, and CEO Ethan Brown. “We are pleased to welcome a new investor who deeply understands our industry and is mission-aligned with our plant-based ethos. In addition to securing access to this substantial new financing, we are continuing to evaluate opportunities to further strengthen our balance sheet and best position our business for the future.”

Shaleen Shah, President of Ahimsa Foundation, said, “Beyond Meat is a category-leading business with exceptional products, a strong commitment to nutrition and ingredient integrity, and a globally recognized brand. This reflects our expectation to be invested in Beyond Meat’s growth and success for the long term.”

Under the terms of the financing agreement, Unprocessed Foods has provided Beyond Meat with a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility of $100 million. Any drawdowns on the facility would accrue interest of 12.0% prior to the initial maturity date of February 7, 2030, and 17.5% following that date, in each case, payable in kind. The initial maturity date may be extended with the consent of both parties until May 7, 2035. Beyond Meat will use any proceeds for general corporate purposes.

As part of the transaction, Unprocessed Foods will receive warrants in proportion to the amount drawn down on the facility, giving them the right to purchase up to 12.5% of Beyond Meat’s currently outstanding shares at an exercise price of 115% of the average of daily volume weighted average prices for the 30-day period beginning May 8, 2025, with a minimum and maximum exercise price of $2.00 and $3.75, respectively.

Complete terms will be disclosed in a Form 8-K to be filed by Beyond Meat with the SEC.

Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal counsel and PJT Partners LP served as investment banker to the Company on the financing transaction.
