The Company also has a portfolio of communication related businesses that provide consumer internet access and cloud communication services, Tiger US Holdings, Inc. (“Targus”), which designs and sells laptop and computer accessories, and E-Commerce, a technology platform provider that delivers Commerce-as-a-Service (“CaaS”) solutions for apparel brands and other retailers.

The Company operates in five reportable operating segments: (i) Capital Markets, through which the Company provides investment banking, corporate finance, securities lending, restructuring, research, sales and trading services to corporate and institutional clients; (ii) Wealth Management, through which the Company provides wealth management and tax services to corporate and high-net-worth clients; (iii) Communications, through which the Company provides consumer Internet access and related subscription services, cloud communication services, and mobile phone voice, text, and data services and devices; (iv) Consumer Products, which generates revenue through sales of laptop and computer accessories; and (v) E-Commerce, which is a technology platform provider that delivers CaaS solutions for apparel brands and other retailers.

As discussed below the Company’s previously reported Financial Consulting segment met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. The financial results of this business whose disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and the financial results are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed statements of operations, and the assets and liabilities are reflected as amounts held for sale in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. Certain prior-year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current-year’s presentation as a result of discontinued operations. The Company’s reporting segments have also been changed for the effects of the discontinued operations. For more information, see Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.

Recent Developments

On October 31, 2024, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell a portion of the Company’s (W-2) Wealth Management business to Stifel Financial Corp. (“Stifel”). The sale (the “Wealth Management Transaction”) was completed on April 4, 2025 for net cash consideration based on the 36 financial advisors that joined Stifel at closing. The Company determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Wealth Management Transaction met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discussed in Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, and was included in Assets Held for Sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.

On March 3, 2025, the Company and BR Financial Holdings, LLC (“BRFH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, B. Riley Environmental Holdings, LLC and other indirect subsidiaries of the Company which included Atlantic Coast Recycling, LLC (“Atlantic Coast Recycling”), Atlantic Coast Recycling of Ocean County, LLC, (“Atlantic Coast Recycling of Ocean County” and, together with Atlantic Coast Recycling, the “Atlantic Companies”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2025 (the “MIPA”), whereby all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in each of the Atlantic Companies (the “Interests”) owned by BRFH and the minority holders were sold to a third party for an agreed upon purchase price subject to certain adjustments and holdback amount pending receipt of a certain third party consent. Net cash proceeds received as a result of the sale were net of adjustments for amounts allocated to non-controlling interests, repayment of contingent consideration, transaction costs and other items directly attributable to the closing of the transaction. The Company recognized a gain of $52,430 in connection with the sale, which is included in the “Gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses” line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Atlantic Coast Recycling transaction met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discussed in Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, and were properly classified in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

The Company believes that the current cash and cash equivalents, securities and other investments owned, and funds available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure requirements, and debt service obligations due the next 12 months from issuance date of the accompanying financial statements.

Nasdaq Compliance

On November 21, 2025, the Company received a Staff Determination Letter (“November Determination Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) based on the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”), as previously notified by the Staff on April 3, 2025, May 21, 2025, August 20, 2025 and October 1, 2025 (together, the “Prior Determination Letters”). The basis for the Prior Determination Letters was that the Company had not yet filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 (the “Q1 Report”) and June 30, 2025 (the “Q2 Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 on September 19, 2025 and its Q1 Report on November 18, 2025. The basis for the November Determination

12

Table of Contents

Letter was that the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 (the “Q3 Report”).

The Prior Determination Letter received on October 1, 2025 noted that, after the Staff’s review of the materials submitted by the Company on September 4, 2025 and September 19, 2025 (the “Updated Plan of Compliance”), it lacked the discretion within Nasdaq’s rules to grant the Company a further exception beyond the September 29, 2025 deadline that was previously granted to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The November Determination Letter and Prior Determination Letters did not result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities.

The Prior Determination Letters notified the Company that it may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company timely submitted a request for a hearing on October 8, 2025, including continued listing of its securities pending the hearing and the Hearings Panel’s decision. A hearing before the Hearings Panel was held on November 4, 2025. On November 18, 2025, the Company received written notification (the “Decision Letter”) from the Hearings Panel notifying the Company of its decision to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”), subject to the Company’s meeting certain conditions outlined in the Decision Letter. In the Decision Letter, the hearings advisors noted that the Hearings Panel reviewed the information presented by the Company, detailing the compliance plan proposed by the Company, as well as all other correspondence previously submitted by the Company and the Staff.

The Hearings Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to filing with the SEC on or before (i) November 21, 2025, the Q1 Report, (ii) December 23, 2025, the Q2 Report, and (iii) January 20, 2026, the Q3 Report.

The Company filed with the SEC the Q1 Report on November 18, 2025 and this Q2 Report on the filing date hereof. The Company anticipates filing its Q3 Report with the SEC no later than January 20, 2026 (in accordance with the Decision Letter). The Decision Letter also noted that, should the Company miss any such deadline, the Hearings Panel will delist the Company’s securities from the Exchange. The Hearings Panel also made it a requirement during the exception period that the Company provides prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements. In addition, the Decision Letter advised that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) may, on its own motion, determine to review any Hearings Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review this Decision Letter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Hearings Panel. As of the date of filing of this Q2 Report, the Company has received no communication from the Listing Council.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the Q3 Report timely or meet other Nasdaq continued listing requirements in the future.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B. Riley Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain prior-year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current-year’s presentation as a result of discontinued operations; see Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business Operations and Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest. In addition, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) including ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Note 2(o) - Variable Interest Entities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to interim financial reporting guidelines and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from our audited annual consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the

13

---

financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The disclosures presented in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing operations basis. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(b) Risks and Uncertainties

In 2025, the United States introduced trade policy actions that have increased import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates, with certain exemptions. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States or other countries increase the price of, or limit the amount of, our products or components or materials used in our products imported into the United States or other countries, or create adverse tax consequences, the sales, cost, or gross margin of our products that are sold in our Consumer Products segment may be adversely affected and the demand from our customers for products may be diminished. Uncertainty surrounding international trade policy and regulations as well as disputes and protectionist measures could also have an adverse effect on consumer confidence and spending and may impact the Company’s results of operations.

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as valuation of securities, allowance for credit losses, the fair value of loans receivables, intangible assets and goodwill, share based arrangements, contingent consideration, embedded derivatives, warrant liabilities, accounting for income tax valuation allowances, and sales returns and allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may significantly differ.

(d) Concentration of Risk

Revenues in the Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Communications, and E-Commerce segments are primarily generated in the United States. Revenues in the Consumer Products segment are primarily generated in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

The Company maintains cash in various federally insured banking institutions. The account balances at each institution periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and mitigates this risk by utilizing financial institutions of high credit quality.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company also has restricted cash primarily consisting of cash collateral for leases and at December 31, 2024 restricted cash was used for the full redemption of the 6.375% Senior Notes due on February 28, 2025.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of the following:

			June 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents			$	267,388					$	146,852
Restricted cash			1,255						100,475
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash			$	268,643					$	247,327

(f) Supplemental Non-cash Disclosures

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was non-cash investing activity of $8,876 related to loans transferred to loans held for sale from loans receivable at fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was non-cash financing activity related to the Company’s exchange of its 5.50% Senior Notes due March 2026 in the aggregate principal amount of $115,844, its 5.00% Senior Notes due December 2026 in the aggregate principal amount of $126,766, its 5.25% Senior Notes due August 2028 in the aggregate principal amount of $23,096, and its 6.00% Senior Notes due January 2028 in the aggregate principal amount of $46,429 for its New Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $247,468 for a net gain on exchange of senior notes of $54,986. There was also non-cash financing activity related to the recognition of capital from a noncontrolling interest of $12,494 upon the Company’s initial consolidation of a VIE, issuance of common stock in equity of subsidiary in the amount of $1,575 and the disposition of noncontrolling interests through the sale and deconsolidation of businesses of $2,918, the reclassification of restricted stock awards from equity-classified awards in the amount of $2,138, the issuance of warrants for a term loan of $7,860, a derivative liability for the exit fee of that term loan of $11,244, and warrants issued for senior notes of $1,600.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was non-cash investing activity related to the receipt of a note receivable in the amount of $2,000 related to the sale of certain assets, $42,077 related to a loan receivable, at fair value that converted into equity securities, and DIP loan conversion to purchase consideration equity for the purchase of Nogin, Inc. (“Nogin”) in the amount of $37,700. There was also non-cash investing activity of $22,576 related to loans transferred to loans held for sale from loans receivable at fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was non-cash financing activity related to the Company’s redemption of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,130 in exchange for 36,903 shares of its common stock at fair value of $1,011 for a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $120.

(g) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Communications, and Consumer Products customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes the expected loss model, which includes the pooling of receivables using the aging method, historical losses, current market conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts of expected losses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s bad debt expense and changes in the allowance for credit losses are included in Note 7 - Accounts Receivable.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are substantially all finished goods from the Consumer Products and Communications segments and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories to reflect its estimate of realizable value of the inventory based on historical sales and recoveries. Inventories are included in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(i) Rental Merchandise

Rental merchandise is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. When initially purchased, merchandise is not depreciated until it is leased to its rent-to-own customers. Leased merchandise is depreciated over the lease term of the rental agreement and recorded as cost of sales. Rental merchandise that is returned is depreciated from the net book value on the day of the return on a straight-line basis for 24 months until the item is leased again or reaches a zero-dollar salvage value. Damaged or lost merchandise is written off monthly.

(j) Loans Receivable

Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, the Company elected the fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable. Management evaluates the performance of the loan portfolio on a fair value basis. Under the fair value option, loans receivable are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit value in an orderly transaction, and unrealized gains or losses are included in the “Fair value adjustments on loans” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of

15

---

operations. At the time of origination, the Company’s loans receivable are collateralized by the assets of borrowers and other pledged collateral and may have guarantees to provide for protection of the payments due on loans receivable.

The fair value of loans receivable was $48,980 and $90,103 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Conn’s Term Loan described below represents 22.5% and 43.1% of total loans receivable, at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company also has loans receivable from Exela Technologies, Inc. that represents 60.5% and 35.7% of total loans receivable at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(“B&W”) as further described in Note 17(b) - Babcock & Wilcox Commitments and Guarantees.

On November 3, 2024, Freedom VCM filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 (“Chapter 11 Cases”) of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”), which impacted the collateral for this loan receivable. To the extent the loan balance and accrued interest exceed the underlying collateral value of the loan an unrealized loss will be recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. On a quarterly basis, the Company will continue to obtain third party appraisals to evaluate the value of the collateral of the loan since the repayment of the loan and accrued interest will be paid primarily from the cash distributions from Freedom VCM or foreclosure on the underlying collateral.

The fair value of the VCM loan receivable was $1,468 and $2,057 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining principal balance was $224,968 and $224,968 and exceeded the fair value of the loan receivable by $223,500 and $222,911 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

W.S. Badcock Corporation and Freedom VCM Receivables, Inc. Loans Receivable

On December 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Badcock Receivables I”) with W.S. Badcock Corporation, a Florida corporation (“WSBC”), which at the time was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FRG, which became a subsidiary of Freedom VCM as a result of the transaction on August 21, 2023. The Company paid $400,000 in cash to WSBC for the purchase of certain consumer credit receivables which are small consumer loans issued by WSBC to consumers for the purchase of merchandise sold at WSBC’s stores. On September 23, 2022, the Company’s then majority-owned subsidiary, B Riley Receivables II, LLC (“BRRII”), a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Badcock Receivables II”) with WSBC. This purchase of $168,363 consumer credit receivables of WSBC was partially financed by a $148,200 term loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, BRRII entered into Amendment No. 2 and No. 3 to Badcock Receivables II with WSBC for a total of $145,278 in additional consumer credit receivables. The accounting for these transactions resulted in the Company recording a loan receivable from WSBC with the recognition of interest income at an imputed rate based on the cash flows expected to be received from the collection of the consumer receivables that serve as collateral for the loan. The collateral for these loans receivable are the individual consumer credit receivables that were originally issued to WSBC consumers for merchandise sold in WSBC stores and the total amount of collections on these loans receivable is dependent upon their credit performance. These loans receivable are measured at fair value.

On August 21, 2023, all of the equity interests of BRRII were sold to Freedom VCM Receivables, Inc. (“Freedom VCM Receivables”), a subsidiary of Freedom VCM, which resulted in a loss of $78. In connection with the sale, Freedom VCM Receivables entered into the Freedom Receivables Note in the amount of $58,872, with a stated interest rate of 19.74% per annum and a maturity date of August 21, 2033 with payments of principal and interest on the note limited solely to the performance of certain consumer receivables held by BRRII. This loan receivable is measured at fair value.

In connection with these loans, the Company entered into a Servicing Agreement with WSBC pursuant to which WSBC provided to the Company certain customary servicing and account management services in respect of the receivables purchased by the Company under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, FRG has agreed to guarantee the performance by WSBC of its obligations under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Servicing Agreement.

On February 7, 2025, the Company sold the two loans and recorded net realized losses of $38,100 which is included in the “Fair value adjustments on loans” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As such, the Company no longer owned the two loans as of June 30, 2025. The fair value and remaining principal balances of the two loans in aggregate were $6,082 and $45,826, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The principal balances of the two loans exceeded their fair value by $39,744 in aggregate as of December 31, 2024.

Conn’s, Inc. Loan Receivable

On December 18, 2023, WSBC was sold by Freedom VCM to Conn’s, Inc. (“Conn’s”) whereby the Company loaned Conn’s $108,000 pursuant to the “Conn’s Term Loan” which bears interest at an aggregate rate per annum equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Rate (as defined in the Conn’s Term Loan), subject to a 4.80% floor, plus a margin of 8.00% and matures on February 20, 2027. Future collection of the Conn’s loan receivable is expected to be paid from the sale of assets and servicing of a pool of consumer receivables that serve as collateral for the loan where the Company has a second lien on these assets.

On July 23, 2024, Conn’s and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary positions for relief under Chapter 11 Cases of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an event of default that accelerates the repayment obligations of the loan receivable issued to Conn’s. Any efforts to enforce repayment obligations under the Conn’s loan are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Company’s rights of enforcement in respect of this loan are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Conn’s loan receivable was placed on non-accrual status.

On December 17, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the first-lien holder banks of the Conn’s loan receivable to assign the first-lien loan receivable to the Company for consideration of $27,738. The fair value and principal balance of the loan receivable was $19,761 as of December 31, 2024. The loan receivable was paid in full on January 24, 2025.

The fair value of the Conn’s Term Loan was $11,000 and $19,065 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining principal balance was $89,000 and $93,000 with unamortized discounts of $2,705 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On November 20, 2023, BRPI transferred the promissory note to B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (“BRCC”), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The loan receivable bears interest at 15.00% per annum paid quarterly at 7.50% per annum in cash and 7.50% per annum payment-in-kind to be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance. The principal balance of the loan receivable was $16,333 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with a maturity date of November 2, 2026. The fair value of the entire loan receivable was zero at December 31, 2024.

Equity securities also include investments in public and private companies that are accounted for under the fair value option where the Company would otherwise use the equity method of accounting. Investments become subject to the equity method of accounting when the Company possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the Company possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. However, the Company may have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee when the Company owns less than 20% of the voting interests of the investee depending on the facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise influence is present, such as when the Company has representation on the board of directors of such investee.

Securities and other investments owned also includes equity investments in nonpublic entities that do not have a readily determinable fair value. For these investments the Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative under which they are measured at cost and adjusted for observable price changes and impairments. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. For these transactions to be considered observable price changes of the same issuer, the Company evaluates whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments we hold. The following table presents, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of

Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC Equity Interest and Take-Private Transaction

In connection with the closing of the FRG take-private transaction, the Company terminated an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Mr. Kahn. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Kahn, as financial advisor, had the sole power to vote or dispose of $64,644 of shares of FRG common stock (based on the value of FRG shares as of the closing date of the FRG take-private transaction) held of record by B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“BRS”). Upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement, (i) Mr. Kahn’s right to vote or dispose of such FRG shares terminated, (ii) such FRG shares owned by BRS were rolled over into additional equity interests in Freedom VCM in connection with the FRG take-private transaction, and (iii) Mr. Kahn owed a total of $20,911 to the Company under the Advisory Agreement which amount was added to, and included in, the Amended and Restated Note.

On December 18, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of Freedom VCM entered into a transaction that resulted in the sale of all of the operations of WS Badcock to Conn’s in exchange for the issuance by Conn’s of 1,000,000 shares of Conn’s preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares issued by Conn’s to Freedom VCM, subject to the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation, are nonvoting and are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 24,540,295 shares of non-voting common stock of Conn’s, which represented 49.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Conn’s which resulted in consideration received by Freedom VCM of approximately $69,900. As a result of the convertible preferred stock having a conversion feature into 49.99% of the common stock of Conn’s, Freedom VCM is considered to have significant influence over Conn’s in accordance with ASC 323 – Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. On July 23, 2024, Conn’s filed a Chapter 11 Case under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The original $69,900 of consideration that Freedom VCM received from the sale of WS Badcock to Conn’s that was held by Freedom VCM was written off by Freedom VCM after Conn’s bankruptcy filing on July 23, 2024 and there is expected to be no recovery of any value by Freedom VCM.

On November 3, 2024, Freedom VCM filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, the Company no longer had significant influence over Freedom VCM, and the equity investment was written off with a zero balance as of December 31, 2024. On June 1, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an Order Confirming the Ninth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Franchise Group, Inc. and its affiliated debtors pursuant to the FRG Plan. Under the FRG Plan, all equity interests and claims related thereto were cancelled and such equity interest holders, including Freedom VCM as an equity holder of Franchise Group, Inc. will not receive any property or distributions under the FRG Plan. As a result, of the FRG Plan, the Company does not expect to receive any proceeds or distributions from the equity investment in Freedom VCM. The bankruptcy filing resulted in the write-off of the equity investment. The change in fair value of $180,964 and $223,369 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, is included in the “Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(l) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable, and actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s securities and other investments owned and securities sold and not yet purchased are comprised of common and preferred stocks and warrants, corporate bonds, and investments in partnerships. Investments in common stocks that are based on quoted prices in active markets are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also holds loans receivable valued at fair value, nonpublic common and preferred stocks and warrants for which there is little or no public market and fair value is determined by management on a consistent basis. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities and liquidity risks. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in partnership interests include investments in private equity partnerships that primarily invest in equity securities, bonds, and direct lending funds. The Company also invests in priority investment funds, and the underlying securities held by these funds are primarily corporate and asset-backed fixed income securities and restrictions exist on the redemption of amounts invested by the Company. The Company’s partnership and investment fund interests are valued based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net assets of the partnerships and funds; the value for these investments is derived from the most recent statements received from the general partner or fund administrator. These partnership and investment fund interests are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy in the table below in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, partnership and investment fund interests valued at NAV of $22,069 and $15,867, respectively, are included in the “Securities and other investments owned, at fair value” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments for which the measurement alternative has been elected, adjusted to fair value based on observable price changes or impairment, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired.

The following tables present information on the financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, financial assets measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 were $77,735 and $130,619, respectively, or 5.0% and 7.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. In determining the fair value for these Level 3 financial assets, the Company analyzes various financial, performance and market factors to estimate the value, including where applicable, over-the-counter market trading activity. The fair value for individual Level 3 financial assets and liabilities have various financial inputs which include multiple of sales, the market price of related securities, annualized volatility, discount rates, recovery rates and expected term inputs that may change at each reporting period and result in an increase or decrease in the valuation of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities by category of investment and valuation technique as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable, revolving credit facility, and term loans of $136,659 and $243,779 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, approximates fair value because the effective yield of such instrument is consistent with current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk.

(m) Equity Method Investment

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting had an aggregate carrying value of $86,042 and $85,487, respectively, which is included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 8 - Prepaid

Expenses and Other Assets). The Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investees included in the “Income from equity investments” line item was $25,603 and $10 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $25,051 and $6 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

GA Holdings

On November 15, 2024, the Company completed the sale of a majority interest in GA Holdings to Oaktree (the “Great American Transaction”). Upon completion of the sale, the Company retained a minority ownership interest of approximately 44.2% of the Class A common units of GA Holdings. GA Holdings operations include appraisal and valuation services, real estate, and retail, wholesale & industrial auction and liquidation services to help clients dispose of assets that include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real property. GA Holdings has three classes of equity interests which include common interests, Class A preferred interests and Class B preferred interests. The Company accounts for its investment in GA Holdings under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, with a three-month lag.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its proportionate share of earnings or losses; however, given the capital structure of GA Holdings the Company applies the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method on a three-month lag to determine the allocation of profits and losses since the liquidation rights and priorities, as defined by the limited liability agreement of GA Holdings, differ from the Company’s underlying ownership interest. The HLBV method calculates the proceeds that would be attributable to each partner based on the liquidation provisions of the limited liability agreement as if GA Holdings was to be liquidated at book value as of the balance sheet date. Each partner’s allocation of income or loss in the period is equal to the change in the amount of net equity they are legally able to claim based on a hypothetical liquidation of the entity at the end of a reporting period compared to the beginning of that period, adjusted for any capital transactions.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investment in GA Holdings was $78,823 and $82,462, respectively, and is included in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on the terms of the limited liability agreement, we recorded equity in net losses attributable to GA Holdings using the HLBV method of $3,190 and $3,639 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which is included in the “Income from equity investments” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables contain summarized financial information with respect to GA Holdings, included below for purposes of the disclosure a quarter in arrears (balance sheet amounts as of March 31, 2025 correspond to amounts as of June 30, 2025 and income statement amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and period from November 15, 2024 to March 31, 2025 correspond to three months and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively):

Retail included in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $7,219 and $3,025 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(n) Noncontrolling Interests

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The Company’s non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest of consolidated subsidiaries that it does not own.

The initial fair value of the noncontrolling interest is a nonrecurring Level 3 measurement determined by a weighing of the discounted cash flow method and market approach. The discounted cash flow method utilized five-year discrete projections of the operating results, working capital and depreciation and capital expenditures, along with a residual value subsequent to the discrete period. The five-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results,

general economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The discount rates for the calculations represented the estimated required return on equity for market participants at the time of the analysis. The market approach included significant estimates using guideline public company data to identify an appropriate market multiple of earnings before income taxes in estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest.

B. Riley Securities Holdings, Inc. (“BRSH”)

On March 10, 2025, a merger subsidiary of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary B. Riley Securities Holdings, Inc. (“BRSH”), which is primarily comprised of the broker dealer operations within the Capital Markets segment, merged with a shell corporation and issued 0.6% of the equity in BRSH to certain investors in the shell corporation. Upon completion of the transaction, the investors in the shell corporation became minority stockholders of BRSH. The Company also issued restricted stock awards as more fully described in Note 18(c) - BRSH Stock Incentive Plan and assuming the full issuance of the restricted stock awards are vested, the Company continues to own 89.4% majority-interest in BRSH.

The shell corporation that merged with BRSH on March 10, 2025 did not meet the definition of a business, since it did not have any assets, liabilities, or operations. The consideration paid in connection with the merger consisted of $1,575 of common stock of BRSH, which represented the fair value of the 0.6% of outstanding common stock of BRSH. The Company recognized a loss of $1,575, which represented the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in BRSH that was issued to the investors in the shell corporation on March 10, 2025.

The table below summarizes the significant unobservable inputs in determining the fair value measurement on a nonrecurring basis of the noncontrolling interest issued on March 10, 2025 as described above. In determining the fair value below the valuation utilized a weighting of 75% for the discounted cash flow method and 25% for the market approach.

BRC Partners Opportunity Trust (the “BRC Trust”)

BRC Trust was formed on January 6, 2025, and is a variable interest entity as more fully described in Note 2(o) - Variable Interest Entities. The noncontrolling interest of BRC Trust that is not owned by the Company includes 86.6% of the equity interests in the BRC Trust. Of the 86.6% equity interests not owned by the Company, 58.2% is owned by related parties as more fully described in Note 21 - Related Party Transactions.

(o) Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds interests in various entities that meet the characteristics of a VIE. Interests in these entities are generally in the form of equity interests, loans receivable, or fee arrangements.

The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties.

The party with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is known as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (a) which variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact

31

---

the VIE’s economic performance; (b) which variable interest holder has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; (c) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (d) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and (e) related-party relationships with other parties that may also have a variable interest in the VIE. See Note 2(n) - Noncontrolling Interests for a variable interest entity consolidated during the period.

On August 21, 2023, in connection with the FRG take-private transaction, one of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Lender”) and an affiliate of Mr. Kahn (the “Borrower”) entered into an amended and restated a promissory note as discussed further in above Note 2(j) - Loans Receivable and Note 2(k) - Securities and Other Investments Owned and Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased. The Company was not involved in the design of the Borrower, has no equity financial interest, and has no rights to make decisions or participate in the management of the Borrower that significantly impact the economics of the Borrower. Since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the Borrower, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate the Borrower. The promissory note is included in the “Loans receivable, at fair value” line item in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and is a variable interest in accordance with the accounting guidance. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum amount of loss exposure to the VIE on a fair value basis was $1,468 and $2,057, respectively.

The Company has entered into agreements to provide investment banking and advisory services to numerous investment funds (the “Funds”) that are considered variable interest entities under the accounting guidance.

The Company earns fees from the Funds in the form of placement agent fees and carried interest. For placement agent fees, the Company receives a cash fee of generally 7% to 10% of the amount of raised capital for the Funds and the fee is recognized at the time the placement services occurred. The Company receives carried interest as a percentage allocation (8% to 15%) of the profits of the Funds as compensation for asset management services provided to the Funds and it is recognized under the ownership model of ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, as an equity method investment with changes in allocation recorded currently in the results of operations. As the fee arrangements under such agreements are arm’s length and contain customary terms and conditions and represent compensation that is considered fair value for the services provided, the fee arrangements are not considered variable interests and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate such VIEs.

Placement agent fees attributable to such arrangements were zero and $494 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and zero and $866 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and were included in the “Services and fees” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amounts included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to variable interests in VIEs that were not consolidated is shown below.

			June 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
Loans receivable, at fair value			$	20,603					$	28,193
Other assets			3,741						3,359
Maximum exposure to loss			$	24,344					$	31,552

Bicoastal Alliance, LLC (“Bicoastal”)

On May 3, 2024, as part of the acquisition of Nogin, the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in Bicoastal through a wholly owned subsidiary of Nogin. Bicoastal is a holding company designed to manage the investments, including strategy and operations, for two brand apparel operating companies. The Company determined Bicoastal is a variable interest entity as it does not have sufficient resources to carry out its management activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Bicoastal’s economic performance, has more equity capital at risk, and is expected to continue to fund operations. Therefore, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Bicoastal and has reported its investment in the assets and liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and consolidated its operating results in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

32

---

On August 14, 2024, Bicoastal entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 50% equity interest upon paydown of a $700 note payable to the noncontrolling interest noteholder with a final repayment date and equity ownership interest transfer date of June 30, 2025.

On March 31, 2025, the Company signed a Deed of Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“ABC”), (i) pursuant to which all of the assets of Nogin were transferred to an assignee for the benefit of Nogin’s creditors, and (ii) which provides the assignee the right to, among other things, sell or dispose of such assets and settle all claims against Nogin. The Company will no longer control or own the assets of Nogin, and the results of operations were deconsolidated on March 31, 2025 and are no longer reported in the Company’s financial statements after March 31, 2025. Management does not expect any recovery of the Company’s investment in Nogin. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, certain of Nogin’s creditors filed an involuntary petition for relief under chapter 7 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New York and an order for relief was entered to move the ABC to a liquidation. A gain of $28,411 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from deconsolidation of Nogin, which is included in “Gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses” line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

BRC Trust

BRC Trust was formed on January 6, 2025, for the purpose of transferring the assets and liabilities of BRC Partners Opportunity Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BRCPOF”), and liquidating the transferred net assets. BRCPOF transferred its assets and liabilities upon formation of the BRC Trust. The Company determined that the BRC Trust is a variable interest entity as the investors in the BRC Trust do not have voting rights and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the Company and its related parties which own 13.4% and 58.2% (see Note 21 - Related Party Transactions), respectively, of the equity interest in the BRC Trust. As the Company has the power to direct all of the activities of the BRC Trust, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the Trust and, therefore, consolidates the BRC Trust upon formation on January 6, 2025. Additionally, the BRC Trust does not meet the definition of a business and the initial consolidation of the BRC Trust did not result in a gain or loss upon initial consolidation.

The carrying amounts and classification of the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the BRC Trust as of June 30, 2025 and formation on January 6, 2025, are as follows:

			June 30, 2025						January 6, 2025
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents			$	365					$	359
Securities and other investments owned, at fair value			503						577
Loans receivable, at fair value			—						10,276
Prepaid expenses and other assets			3,800						3,497
Total assets			$	4,668					$	14,709
Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities			253						290
Total liabilities			$	253					$	290
Noncontrolling interest			$	3,826					$	12,494

(p) Derivatives

Certain contracts may contain explicit terms that affect some or all of the cash flows or the value of other exchanges required by the contract. When these embedded features in a contract act in a manner similar to a derivative financial instrument and are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, the Company bifurcates the embedded feature and accounts for it as an embedded derivative asset or liability in accordance with guidance under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the “Other income (expense)” section in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 11 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility.

33

---

(q) Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for its warrant liabilities in accordance with guidance under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification must be recorded as liabilities. Warrant liabilities are included in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities are reported in the “Other income (expense)” section in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 11 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility and Note 19(b) - Common Stock Warrants.

(r) Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Certain prior-year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current-year’s presentation as a result of discontinued operations and held for sale; see Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss), total assets, total liabilities, or stockholder’s equity (deficit).

(s) Recent Accounting Standards

Not yet adopted

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software. This ASU was issued to modernize the accounting for software costs by removing references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and providing an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional expense disclosures by public entities in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU outlines the specific costs that are required to be disclosed which include such costs as: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling costs, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to oil and gas production. It also requires qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense income statement captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively in the notes to the financial statements and the entity’s definition of selling expenses. The disclosures are required for each interim and annual reporting period. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Claiming the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31st. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes in the rate reconciliation table and requires companies to provide more information about the reconciling items in some categories if a quantitative threshold is met. ASU 2023-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025. The Company will provide the required disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the adoption of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS

On May 3, 2024, one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries completed the acquisition of Nogin for a total purchase consideration of approximately $56,370, which consisted of $37,700 in DIP financing and an additional $18,670 in cash consideration. To fund the $18,670 in cash consideration, contemporaneous with the closing, the acquired company issued $15,000 of convertible debt. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations the Company used the acquisition method of accounting for this acquisition. Goodwill of $56,028 and other intangible assets of $17,350 were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition complements the Company’s principal investments strategy and offers potential growth to the Company’s portfolio of principal investments and is recorded in the E-Commerce segment.

The assets and liabilities of Nogin, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the May 3, 2024 acquisition date. Acquisition related costs, such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees related to the acquisition of Nogin, were charged against earnings in the amount of $2,425 and included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Nogin goodwill recognized subsequent to the acquisition will be non-deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of acquisition consideration and purchase price allocation were as follows:

Consideration paid:
Cash						$	18,670
Credit bid - Settlement of DIP Facility						37,700
Total Consideration						$	56,370

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents						$	604
Accounts receivable						421
Prepaid and other assets						6,826
Operating lease right-of-use assets						740
Property and equipment						400
Other intangible assets						17,350
Deferred income taxes						227
Accounts payable						(9,731)
Accrued expenses and other liabilities						(10,309)
Deferred revenue						(95)
Operating lease liabilities						(740)
Note payable						(700)
Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed						4,993
Goodwill						56,028
Noncontrolling interest						(4,651)
Total						$	56,370

During the year ended December 31, 2024, goodwill for Nogin increased by $1,636 related to certain purchase price accounting adjustments.

The Company had entered into a Chapter 11 Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with Nogin prior to the acquisition date. As part of Nogin’s Chapter 11 restructuring activities, it ceased the sale of brand apparel merchandise and elimination of warehousing and other costs associated with the inventory, among other things. The Company has determined that the preparation of pro forma financial information would be impracticable due to the significant estimates of amounts needed to reflect Nogin’s historical financial information with its operations emerging from bankruptcy.

On March 31, 2025, the Company signed a Deed of ABC, (i) pursuant to which all of the assets of Nogin were transferred to an assignee for the benefit of Nogin’s creditors, and (ii) which provides the assignee the right to, among other things, sell or dispose of such assets and settle all claims against Nogin. The Company will no longer control or own the assets of Nogin, and the results of operations were deconsolidated on March 31, 2025 and are no longer reported in the Company’s financial statements after March 31, 2025. Management does not expect any recovery of the Company’s investment in Nogin. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, certain of Nogin’s creditors filed an involuntary petition for relief under chapter 7 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New York and an order for relief was entered to move the ABC to a chapter 7 liquidation.

Valuation Assumptions for Purchase Price Allocation

Our valuation assumptions used to value the acquired assets and assumed liabilities require significant estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets, inventories, property and equipment, and deferred income taxes. In determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must make assumptions about the future performance of the acquired businesses, including among other things, the forecasted revenue growth attributable to the asset groups and projected operating expenses and other benefits expected to be achieved by combining the businesses acquired with the Company. The intangible assets acquired are primarily comprised of customer relationships, trademarks, and developed technology. The Company utilized widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches to perform the preliminary purchase price allocations. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the estimated fair value of trademarks and developed technology are determined using the relief from royalty method. Both methods require forward looking estimates that are discounted to determine the fair value of the intangible assets using a risk-adjusted discount rate that is reflective of the level of risk associated with future estimates associated with the asset group that could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

NOTE 4 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Assets Held For Sale

Wealth Management

On October 31, 2024, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell a portion of the Company’s (W-2) Wealth Management business to Stifel for estimated net consideration based on the number of advisors that join Stifel at closing, among other things. Upon closing the transaction on April 4, 2025, the sale was completed for net cash consideration of $26,037, representing 36 financial advisors whose managed accounts represent approximately $4.0 billion, or 23.6%, of total assets under management (“AUM”) as of the close of the transaction. A gain of $5,372 was recognized on April 4, 2025 in connection with the completion of the sale and is included in the “Gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025

Atlantic Coast Recycling

On March 3, 2025, the Company, BRFH, B. Riley Environmental Holdings, LLC and other indirect subsidiaries of the Company which included the Atlantic Companies, entered into the MIPA, whereby the Interests owned by BRFH and the minority holders were sold to a third party in accordance with the terms of the MIPA on March 3, 2025. The Interests were

sold to the third party on March 3, 2025 for a purchase price of $102,478, subject to certain adjustments and a holdback amount pending receipt of a certain third party consent, resulting in cash proceeds of $68,638 to the Company after adjustments for amounts allocated to non-controlling interests, repayment of contingent consideration, transaction costs and other items directly attributable to the closing of the transaction. Of the $68,638 of cash proceeds received by the Company, approximately $22,610 was used to pay interest, fees, and principal on the Credit Facility entered into with Oaktree on February 26, 2025 as further discussed in Note 11 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility. A gain of $52,430 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from this sale, which is included in “Gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses” line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Wealth Management Transaction and Atlantic Coast Recycling transactions met the criteria under ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024. The assets and liabilities for both transactions were properly presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating results from the disposal groups comprising the Wealth Management business and Atlantic Coast Recycling contributed to the operating incomes of the Wealth Management and All Other segment categories, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Discontinued Operations

The Company presents a disposition of a component, being an operating or reportable segment, business unit, subsidiary or asset group, that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The following operations have been presented as discontinued operations.

Brands Transaction

On October 25, 2024, the Company completed a transaction whereby the Company contributed and transferred its controlling equity interest in the assets and intellectual properties related to the licenses of Catherine Malandrino, English Laundry, Joan Vass, Kensie Girl, Limited Too and Nanette Lepore (“Six Brands”), which were previously consolidated in

37

---

the Company’s financial statements, and the noncontrolling equity interests the Company owned in the assets and intellectual properties of Hurley, Justice, and Scotch & Soda (collectively with Six Brands, the “Brands Interests”), which the Company had elected to account for the equity investments under the fair value option, into a securitization financing vehicle in exchange for $189,300 in net proceeds. The Company accounted for this transfer of financial assets as a sale. During the year ended December 31, 2024, upon deconsolidation of the Six Brands, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $(40,782) and the Company recognized a write-down in the fair value of the equity investments in Hurley, Justice, and Scotch & Soda of $(87,810) that was reported in realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company’s ownership interest in the Brand Interests will be reported as a non-controlling equity investment that is estimated to have a nominal value as a result of the liquidation preferences and notes that were issued as part of the secured financing.

Additionally, in connection with the Brands Interests contribution and transfer noted above, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement dated October 25, 2024, whereby the Company’s subsidiary bebe sold its limited liability company equity interests in BB Brand Holdings and BKST Brand Management (the “bebe Brands”), which the Company had elected to account for the equity investments in the bebe Brands under the fair value option for $46,624 in net cash proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a write-down in fair value of equity investment in the bebe Brands of $21,386 that was reported in realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments in discontinued operations. Upon closing of the bebe Brands sale, proceeds of $22,188 was used to pay off the then outstanding balance of the bebe Credit Agreement in full (see Note 11 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility) and $224 of loan-related pay off expenses. Collectively, the bebe Brands sale and the contribution and transfer of Brands Interest comprise the Brands Transaction.

The Brands Interests and bebe Brands were historically reported within All Other category - generating operating revenues from the Company’s majority owned subsidiary that licenses the trademarks and intellectual properties from Six Brands. The bebe Brands equity investments also generated other income from dividends the Company received from the equity ownership of investments that range from 10% to 50% in companies that license the trademark and intellectual property of bebe and Brookstone brands (equity ownership of bebe stores, inc., our majority owned subsidiary).

The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of the brand assets, including the fair value adjustments and dividends received from the brand assets significance to the overall net income and earnings per share, and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met. As such, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect discontinued operations presentation. The Company has no significant continuing involvement with operations and management of the Brands Interests and bebe Brands post-disposition.

Great American Group

On October 13, 2024, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement, (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), to sell a 52.6% ownership stake in the Appraisal and Valuation Services, Real Estate, and Retail, Wholesale & Industrial Solutions businesses (collectively, the “Great American Group”) to Oaktree. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company conducted an internal reorganization and contributed all of the interests in the “Great American Group”, to Great American Holdings, LLC, a newly formed holding company (“Great American NewCo”). At the closing on November 15, 2024, (i) Oaktree received (a) all of the outstanding class A preferred limited liability units of Great American NewCo (which will have a 7.5% cash coupon and a 7.5% payment-in-kind coupon) (the “Class A Preferred Units”) and (b) common limited liability units of Great American NewCo (the “Common Units”) representing 52.6% of the issued and outstanding common limited liability units in Great American NewCo for a purchase price of approximately $203,000 (with an initial liquidation preference of approximately $203,000). The Company retains (a) 93.2% of the issued and outstanding class B preferred limited liability company units of Great American NewCo (which will have a 2.3% payment-in-kind coupon and an initial aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $183,000) (the “Class B Preferred Units”) and (b) 44.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Units. The remaining 6.8% of issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Units and 3.2% of issued and outstanding Common Units will be held by certain minority investors. The Company accounts for its non-controlling equity interest in Great American NewCo using the equity method of accounting (refer to Note 2(m) - Equity Method Investment) with its carrying value included in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 8 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets).

inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property, and real property—and within the Financial Consulting segment—offering bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting, real estate consulting, and valuation and appraisal services—were divested. The Company recorded a net gain of $258,286 to the “Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes” line item in the consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The net after-tax proceeds from this transaction were used to repay certain debt obligations and focus on the core operating subsidiaries.

The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of the Great American Group, including the significance of the operating income generated from the appraisal, real estate consulting and auction and liquidation operations to the overall net income (loss), net (loss) income per share, and net assets, and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met. As such, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Continuing Involvement

In addition to retaining an equity interest accounted for under the equity method of accounting, at the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to Great American NewCo relating to the Great American Group for a period of up to one year from the closing. Additionally, the Company entered into a credit agreement, pursuant to which an affiliate of the Company, as lender, will provide to Great American NewCo, as borrower, a first lien secured revolving credit facility of up to $40,000 for general corporate purposes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, which had an outstanding balance of $1,698 at closing. The Company also entered into promissory notes which totaled $15,332 related to capital requirements for certain retail liquidation engagements that were ongoing as of closing.

GlassRatner and Farber

On June 27, 2025, the Company signed an equity purchase agreement to sell all of the membership interests of GlassRatner and Farber. The aggregate cash consideration paid by the buyers for the interests of GlassRatner and shares of Farber was $117,800, which is based on a target closing working capital amount that is subject to adjustment within 180-days following the sale date. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer to provide certain services.

The Company’s securities lending transactions require us to pledge collateral based on the terms of each contract which is generally denominated in U.S. dollars and marked to market on a daily basis. If the fair value of the collateral pledged for these transactions declines, the Company could be required to provide additional collateral to the counterparty, therefore decreasing the amount of assets available for other liquidity needs that may arise. The Company’s liquidity risk is mitigated by maintaining offsetting securities borrowed transactions in which the Company receives cash from the counterparty which, in general, is equal to or greater than the cash the Company posts on securities lending transactions.

Interest expense from securities lending activities is included in operating expenses related to operations in the Capital Markets segment. Interest expense from securities lending activities is incurred from equity and fixed income securities that are loaned to the Company and totaled $1,968 and $23,313 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Oaktree Credit Agreement

On February 26, 2025, the Company and BRFH (“BRFH Borrower”) entered into a new credit agreement with a group of funds indirectly or directly controlled by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. with Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, acting as the administrative agent and collateral agent. The new credit agreement provided for (i) a three-year $125,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Oaktree Term Loan”) and (ii) a four-month $35,000 secured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the “Delayed Draw Facility” and, together with the Oaktree Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Oaktree Term Loan matures on the earliest of (i) February 26, 2028, and (ii) a springing maturity date 91 days prior to the maturity of any series of bonds, notes or bank indebtedness of the Company or the BRFH Borrower (other than the Company’s 6.375% Senior Notes due February 28, 2025 and the Company’s 5.50% Senior Notes due March 31, 2026) outstanding on such date with an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000 (the “Initial Term Loan Maturity Date”). The proceeds from the Oaktree Term Loan were primarily used (a) to repay the existing indebtedness under the Nomura Credit agreement (b) for

---

working capital and general corporate purposes and (c) to pay transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Facility was used (a) to fund obligations relating to the liquidation of substantially all of the assets of JOANN, Inc. and its subsidiaries and (b) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility accrues interest at the adjusted term SOFR rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) with an applicable margin of 8.00% or interest at the base rate as defined in the Credit Facility plus an applicable margin of 7.00%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, the Company was required to pay (i) a closing fee of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Oaktree Term Loan and 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Delayed Draw Facility, and (ii) an exit fee upon the prepayment or repayment of the Credit Facility of 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such loans repaid, provided, that the Oaktree Term Loan exit fee shall not be payable if the share price for the Company’s common stock exceeds a certain threshold. The Company determined that the Credit Facility is an indexed debt obligation under ASC 470, Debt and will accrete the contingent Oaktree Term Loan exit fee to its expected payment amount. The Oaktree Term Loan also contains an additional prepayment premium, as defined in the Oaktree Term Loan, of a minimum of 5.00%.

The Credit Facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s, the BRFH Borrower’s and the BRFH Borrower’s subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to enter into restrictive agreements, to make certain investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, to prepay certain indebtedness and to pay dividends or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases in respect of their respective equity interests. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in the Oaktree Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

Subject to certain eligibility requirements, certain assets of the BRFH Borrower are placed into a borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), which serves to limit the borrowings under the Credit Facility. The sale of an asset in the Borrowing Base requires the BRFH Borrower to make a prepayment in an amount equal to the proceeds of such disposition multiplied by the percentage “credit” that is assigned to such asset in the Borrowing Base. The BRFH Borrower may be obligated to prepay the loans or post cash in a controlled account in the event the Borrowing Base falls below a certain level as defined in the Credit Facility. The Company recorded a derivative liability of $11,244 related to this a mandatory repayment feature in the Credit Facility at the inception of the Credit Facility. (See Note 2(l) - Fair Value Measurements.) During the first and second quarters of 2025, the Company sold certain assets in the Borrowing Base and in accordance with the Credit Facility, the Company was required to prepay $30,521 and $4,479 of the Delayed Draw Facility, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made principal payments of $4,479 and $35,000, respectively, on the Delayed Draw Facility which paid the facility off in full. Through a series of principal payments in the amount of $62,500 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Oaktree Term Loan was reduced from $125,000 to $62,500 at June 30, 2025. Interest expense on the Credit Facility to Oaktree during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4,578 and $7,759, respectively.

The Company issued warrants to certain affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. in connection with the Oaktree Term Loan to purchase approximately 1,832,290 shares (or 6% on a fully diluted basis) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.14 per share. The warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, the warrant holders would be entitled to exercise the warrants for up to 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company evaluated the warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and determined the warrants met the criteria for liability classification, and recorded a warrant liability of $7,860.

The initial measurement of the embedded derivative and warrant liability creates a discount on the carrying amount of the long-term debt, which together with the original issue discount, debt issuance costs, are amortized via the effective interest method under ASC 835-30, Interest – Imputation of Interest. Subsequent changes in fair value of the embedded derivative and warrant liability are reported in the “Other income (expense)” section in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On December 9, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) which extended the springing maturity date of the term loans if more than $25,000 aggregate principal amount of the 5.50% 2026 Notes was outstanding to February 3, 2026 and permitted under certain conditions an additional $10,000 of telecommunications financing. On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) which agreed to permit under certain conditions the contribution by BRPI of 100% of the equity interests in Lingo to BRPAC in connection with the entry into the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement.

The borrowing base as defined in the Credit Agreement consisted of a collateral pool that includes certain of the Company’s loans receivables in the amount of $112,454 (which was included in the “Loans receivable, at fair value” line item of $90,103 reported in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024) and investments in the amount of $228,292 (which was included in the “Securities and other investments owned, at fair value” line item of $282,325 reported in our consolidated balance sheet) as of December 31, 2024.

As fully discussed in “Oaktree Credit Agreement” above, on February 26, 2025, the Company used proceeds from the Credit Facility to repay the outstanding principal balance under the Prior Credit Agreement.

BRPAC Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2018, BRPAC, United Online, Inc., and YMAX Corporation, Delaware corporations (collectively, the “BRPAC Borrowers”), indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, in the capacity as borrowers, entered into a credit agreement (the “BRPAC Credit Agreement”) with the Banc of California, N.A. in the capacity as agent (the “Agent”) and lender and with the other lenders party thereto (the “Closing Date Lenders”). Certain of the BRPAC Borrowers’ U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of all obligations under the BRPAC Credit Agreement and are parties to the BRPAC Credit Agreement in such capacity (collectively, the “Secured Guarantors”; and together with the BRPAC Borrowers, the “Credit Parties”). In addition, the Company and B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC, the parent corporation of BRPAC and a subsidiary of the Company, are guarantors of the obligations under the BRPAC Credit Agreement pursuant to standalone guaranty agreements pursuant to which the shares outstanding membership interests of BRPAC are pledged as collateral.

Through a series of amendments, including the most recent fourth amendment to the BRPAC Credit Agreement (the “Fourth BRPAC Amendment”) on June 21, 2022, the BRPAC Borrowers, the Secured Guarantors, the Agent and the Closing Date Lenders agreed to the following, among other things: (i) the Lenders agreed to make a new $75,000 term loan to the BRPAC Borrowers, the proceeds of which the BRPAC Borrowers’ used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the existing terms loans and optional loans and will use for other general corporate purposes, (ii) a new applicable margin level of 3.50% was established as set forth from the date of the Fourth BRPAC Amendment, (iii) Marconi Wireless Holdings, LLC (“Marconi Wireless”) was added to the BRPAC Borrowers, (iv) the maturity date of the term loan was set to June 30, 2027, and (v) the BRPAC Borrowers were permitted to make certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers.

The borrowings under the amended BRPAC Credit Agreement bear interest equal to the 30-day Average SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending on the BRPAC Borrowers’ consolidated total funded debt ratio as defined in the BRPAC Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the term loan was $29,774 (net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $332).

On January 6, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), BRPAC entered into the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement with certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Banc of California, in the capacity as agent and lender and with other lenders party

thereto from time to time. The Company’s subsidiary Lingo was added as a BRPAC Borrower to the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, the lenders made a new five year $80,000 term loan to the BRPAC Borrowers, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the obligations under the original BRPAC Credit Agreement dated December 19, 2018 and the Lingo Credit Agreement. In connection with the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, the BRPAC Borrowers also made certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers from existing cash on hand. The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement also builds in provisions for incremental term loans up to $40,000 allowing certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers from the proceeds of such incremental term loans. The modification amended the reference rate from 30-day Average SOFR to Term SOFR. The BRPAC Borrowers’ U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of all obligations under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on, and first priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the BRPAC Borrowers, including a pledge of (a) 100% of the equity interests of the BRPAC Borrowers; (b) 65% of the equity interests in United Online Software Development (India) Private Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of India; and (c) 65% of the equity interests in magicJack VocalTec Ltd., an Israel corporation. Such security interests are evidenced by pledge, security, and other related agreements. The purpose of the refinancing was to consolidate the prior Lingo and BRPAC Credit Agreements held by subsidiaries of the Communications segment into a single debt facility. For accounting purposes, the modification of terms was considered a troubled debt restructuring. As the future undiscounted cash payments under the terms of the modified debt exceeded the carrying amount of the old debt on the modification date, the Company accounted for the restructuring on a prospective basis using the revised effective interest rate established under the amended agreement. The carrying amount of the restructured debt includes variable interest rates from Term SOFR.

The borrowings under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement bear interest equal to the Term SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending on the BRPAC Borrowers consolidated total funded debt ratio as defined in the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rate is subject to a margin level of 3.25%. As of the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount was $80,000 with quarterly installments of principal due in the amount of $4,000, and any remaining principal balance is due at final maturity on January 6, 2030.

Interest expense on the term loan during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1,561 and $914, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3,151 and $1,974 , respectively.

The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including those limiting the Credit Parties’, and their subsidiaries’, ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of their businesses, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement requires the Credit Parties to maintain certain financial ratios. The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults and cross defaults. If an event of default occurs, the agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of outstanding amounts due under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

The New Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 26, 2025 (the “New Notes Indenture”), governing the issuance of New Notes dated March 26, 2025, April 7, 2025, May 21, 2025, and June 30, 2025 for the four exchanges noted above, between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and GLAS Trust Company LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company, as trustee and collateral agent, and the New Notes are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all direct and indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain excluded subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The New Notes are secured on a second lien basis, junior to the obligations under the Company’s Credit Facility, by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.

The New Notes mature on January 1, 2028 and accrue interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 31, beginning on October 31, 2025. The Company is required to pay default interest of 8.00% on accrued interest if the Company fails to pay interest when due.

The Company has the right to redeem the New Notes at any time, in whole or in part. If the New Notes are redeemed prior to March 26, 2026 (including bankruptcy – see events of default below), the redemption price is equal to (1) 100% of the aggregate principal plus (2) a premium, if any, that is the excess for interest payments from the redemption date through March 26, 2026 discounted by the Treasury rate plus 50 basis points over the principal of the Notes being redeemed (the “Applicable Premium”) plus (3) any unpaid and accrued interest that excludes the redemption date. If the New Notes are redeemed after March 26, 2026, including a tender offer, the Company may repay the New Notes at principal plus accrued and unpaid interest if any, but excluding the redemption date.

The New Notes include a change of control provision, where the holders of the New Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the New Notes at a purchase price, in cash, equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest if the Company does not exercise its redemption option.

The New Notes also contain certain other events of default that could result in an acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the New Notes.

In addition, if the Company or its restricted subsidiaries engage in certain asset sales and do not invest such proceeds or permanently reduce certain debt within a specified period of time, the Company may be required to use a portion of the proceeds of such asset sales above a specified threshold to make an offer to purchase the New Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The New Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to enter into restrictive agreements, to make certain investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, to prepay certain indebtedness and to pay dividends or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases in respect of their respective equity interests.

Contract Balances

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers totaled $61,233 and $68,653 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company also has $3,144 and $3,387 of unbilled receivables included in prepaid expenses and other assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer and milestone fees received from corporate finance and investment banking advisory engagements, asset management agreements, and subscription services where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Deferred revenue as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $53,499 and $58,148, respectively. The Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue of $53,499 as of June 30, 2025 as service and fee revenues when the performance obligation is met during the years ended December 31, 2025 (remaining six months), 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 in the amount of $35,160, $8,597, $4,357, $1,879, and $1,103, respectively. The Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue of $2,403 after December 31, 2029.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $7,792 and $9,183, respectively, that was recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $25,033 and $29,725, respectively, that was recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year.

Contract Costs

Contract costs include: (1) costs to fulfill contracts associated with corporate finance and investment banking engagements are capitalized where the revenue is recognized at a point in time and the costs are determined to be recoverable and; (2) commissions paid to obtain magicJack contracts which are recognized ratably over the contract term and third party support costs for magicJack and related equipment purchased by customers which are recognized ratably over the service period.

The capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were $5,170 and $5,694 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are recorded in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized expenses of $1,034 and $1,142 related to capitalized costs to fulfill a contract, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized expenses of $2,094 and $2,679 related to capitalized costs to fulfill a contract, respectively. There were no significant impairment charges recognized in relation to these capitalized costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance

The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material as of June 30, 2025. Corporate finance and investment banking fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not included in the transaction price as of June 30, 2025.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenues recognized for customer contracts for performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time was $100,595 and $128,077 and over time was $87,572 and $127,963, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenues recognized for customer contracts for performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time was $191,065 and $266,153 and over time was $194,329 and $253,293, respectively.

NOTE 15 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of 4.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a provision of 6.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of less than 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a provision of 1.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $3,053 resulting primarily from the impact of recording uncertain tax positions for state and foreign taxes, interest and penalties. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $29,183 resulting primarily from the impact of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $11. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $7,853. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are less than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to being in a tax loss with a full valuation allowance. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are impacted by the valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $344,508 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $71,248, respectively. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax years commencing on December 31, 2033, through December 31, 2038. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax years commencing on December 31, 2030.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits of operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. The Company’s net operating losses are subject to annual limitations in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Accordingly, the Company is limited to the amount of net operating loss that may be utilized in future taxable years depending on the Company’s actual taxable income. As of June 30, 2025, a full valuation allowance has been recorded since it is more likely than not that the Company

60

---

will not be able to utilize tax benefits before they expire. The Company reassess the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local jurisdictions, and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by certain state, local, and foreign income tax authorities. The audits are in varying stages of completion. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, case law developments and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes, as appropriate. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years ended December 31, 2021 to 2024.

Pillar Two

The Pillar Two directive, which was established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and which generally provides for a 15% minimum effective tax rate for multinational enterprises, in every jurisdiction in which they operate. While the Company does not anticipate that this will have a material impact on its tax provision or effective tax rate, it will continue to monitor evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act includes changes to U.S. tax law that will be applicable to the Company beginning in fiscal year 2026. These changes include provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Act to our financial statements.

NOTE 16 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing (loss) income from continuing operations, (loss) income from discontinued operations, or net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing (loss) income from continuing operations, (loss) income from discontinued operations, or net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Securities that could potentially dilute basic net income per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were 3,229,165 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2,781,112 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 17 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Legal Matters

The Company is subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries are named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. In addition to such legal and other claims, reviews, investigations, and proceedings, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the risk of unasserted claims, including, among others, as it relates to matters related to Mr. Kahn and our investment in Freedom VCM. If such claims are made, however, the Company believes it has valid defenses from any such claim and any such claim would be without merit. The Company has not accrued for any such contingent liabilities, but such contingent liabilities could be realized which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.

On July 11, 2025, the Company’s subsidiary, BRS, received a demand letter from certain parties that invested in a special purpose entity (the “SPV”) that in turn invested in the going private transaction (the “Transaction”) in August 2023 of Franchise Group, Inc. An arbitration demand (the “Demand”) was filed by such parties with the American Arbitration Association on October 10, 2025 against BRS and related entities (the “BR Defendants”). The Demand alleges that the BR Defendants (i) failed to disclose certain material facts regarding FRG and the Transaction in violation of certain securities laws, (ii) committed fraud and/or civil conspiracy, and (iii) breached fiduciary duties and aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties. Such investors seek rescission of the aggregate investment amount of $37,500 plus interest thereon and related fees and expenses. The Company believes such claims are meritless and intends to defend such action.

On February 14, 2025, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed by Michael Marchner in the Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of the Company and against the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s officers and the board of directors (i) breached their fiduciary duties related to the Company’s involvement with Mr. Kahn and subsequent legal issues, (ii) engaged in misconduct, and (iii) wasted corporate assets, including the approval of improper compensation. The Company believes that these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On January 22, 2025, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed by James Smith in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County against the Company, certain of the Company’s executive officers and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s officers and directors (i) breached their fiduciary duties related to the Company’s involvement with Mr. Kahn and subsequent legal issues, (ii) engaged in a waste of corporate assets, and (iii) received unjust enrichment. The Company believes that these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On July 9, 2024, a putative class action was filed by Brian Gale, Mark Noble, Terry Philippas and Lawrence Bass in the Delaware Chancery Court against Freedom VCM, Mr. Kahn, Andrew Laurence, Matthew Avril, and the Company. This complaint alleges that former shareholders of FRG suffered damages due to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by officers, directors and other participants in the August 2023 management-led take private transaction of FRG and that the Company aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The claim seeks an award of unspecified damages, rescissory damages and/or quasi-appraisal damages, disgorgement of profits, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and interest thereon. The Company believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On July 3, 2024, each of the Company and Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, received a subpoena from the SEC requesting the production of certain documents and other information primarily related to (i) the Company’s business dealings with Mr. Kahn, (ii) certain transactions in an unrelated public company’s securities, and (iii) the communications and related compliance and other policies and procedures of certain of its regulated subsidiaries. On November 22, 2024, each of the Company and Mr. Riley received an additional SEC subpoena requesting the production of certain additional documents and information relating to Franchise Group, Inc. (including its holding company, Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC) as well as Mr. Riley’s personal loan and his pledge of shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for such loan. As previously disclosed on April 23, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, the Company’s legal counsel, conducted an internal review, and separately the Audit Committee retained Winston & Strawn LLP, independent legal counsel, to conduct an independent investigation, to review transactions among Mr. Kahn (and his affiliates) and the Company (and its affiliates). The review and the investigation both confirmed that the Company and its executives, including Mr. Riley, had no involvement with, or knowledge of, any alleged misconduct concerning Mr. Kahn or any of his affiliates. The receipt of

63

subpoenas is not an indication that the SEC or its staff has determined that any violations of law have occurred. Both the Company and Mr. Riley are responding to the subpoenas and are fully cooperating with the SEC.

On May 2, 2024, a putative class action was filed by Ted Donaldson in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles on behalf of all persons who acquired the Company’s senior notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-3 dated January 28, 2021, and the prospectuses filed and published on August 4, 2021 and December 2, 2021 (the “Offerings”). The action asserts claims under §§ 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 against the Company, some of the Company’s current and former officers and directors, and the financial institutions that served as underwriters and book runners for the Offerings. An amended complaint was filed on September 27, 2024. The amended complaint alleges that the offering documents failed to advise investors that Brian Kahn and/or one or more of his controlled entities was engaged in illicit business activities, that the Company, despite the foregoing, continued to finance transactions for Kahn, eventually enabling him and others to take FRG private, and that the foregoing was reasonably likely to draw regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm to the Company. The Company believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On January 24, 2024, a putative securities class action complaint was filed by Mike Coan in U.S. Federal District Court, Central District of California, against the Company, Mr. Riley, Tom Kelleher and Phillip Ahn. The purported class includes persons and entities that purchased shares of the Company’s common stock between May 10, 2023 and November 9, 2023. A second putative class action lawsuit was filed on March 15, 2024 by the KL Kamholz Joint Revocable Trust (“Kamholz”). On August 8, 2024, this matter was consolidated with the Kamholz matter and an amended complaint was then filed on April 21, 2025. The amended complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose to investors material financial details concerning a going private transaction involving FRG, and that the Company made false or misleading statements concerning the Company’s lending practices, its high concentration of risk in transactions involving Mr. Kahn and his affiliates, the condition and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, the Company’s due diligence and risk management procedures, and the Company’s level of concern and internal scrutiny concerning Mr. Kahn after it learned he was potentially implicated in a fraud involving an unrelated third party. The amended complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential liability, if any, that could arise from these matters and believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend these actions.

On September 21, 2023, BRCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received a demand alleging that certain payments to BRCC in the aggregate amount of approximately $32,166 made by Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), a chapter 11 debtor in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas (the “Court”), pursuant to that certain Bridge Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2022 between Sorrento and BRCC, are avoidable as preferential transfers (the “Alleged Preferences”). On June 16, 2025, the liquidating trustee (the “Trustee”) on behalf of the Sorrento Liquidating Trust filed a complaint with the Court in an adversary proceeding seeking to avoid and recover the Alleged Preferences. On September 12, 2025, the Court denied BRCC’s motion to dismiss. The Company believes that the liquidating trustee’s claims lack merit and intends to continue to assert its statutory defenses to defeat such claims.

In light of the significant factual issues to be resolved with respect to the asserted claims and other proceedings described above and uncertainties regarding unasserted claims described above, at the present time reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated with respect to the asserted and unasserted claims described in the preceding paragraphs.

(b) Babcock & Wilcox Commitments and Guarantees

On January 18, 2024, the Company entered into a guaranty (the “Axos Guaranty”) in favor of (i) Axos Bank, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the secured parties under that certain credit agreement, dated as of January 18, 2024, among B&W, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “B&W Axos Credit Agreement”), and (ii) the secured parties. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Axos Guaranty, the Company has guaranteed certain obligations of B&W (subject to certain limitations) under the B&W Axos Credit Agreement, including the obligation to repay outstanding loans and letters of credit and to pay earned interest, fees costs and expenses of enforcing the Axos Guaranty, provided however, that the Company’s obligations with respect to the principal amount of credit extensions and unreimbursed letter of credit obligations under the B&W Axos Credit Agreement shall not at any time exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, which is the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guaranty. In consideration for the agreements and commitments under the Axos Guaranty and pursuant to a separate fee and reimbursement agreement, B&W has agreed to pay the Company a fee equal to 2.00% of the aggregate revolving commitments (as defined in the B&W Axos Credit Agreement) under the B&W Axos Credit Agreement, payable quarterly and, at B&W’s election, in cash in full or 50% in cash and 50% in the form of penny warrants. On June 18, 2025, an

64

amendment was made to the Axos Guaranty whereby the Company’s obligations as guarantor were suspended until January 1, 2027.

On June 30, 2021, the Company agreed to guaranty (the “Cash Collateral Provider Guaranty”) up to $110,000 of obligations that B&W may owe to providers of cash collateral pledged in connection with a debt financing for B&W. The Cash Collateral Provider Guaranty is enforceable in certain circumstances, including, among others, certain events of default and the acceleration of B&W’s obligations under a reimbursement agreement with respect to such cash collateral. B&W will pay the Company $935 per annum in connection with the Cash Collateral Provider Guaranty. B&W has agreed to reimburse the Company to the extent the Cash Collateral Provider Guaranty is called upon. During the year ended December 31, 2024, B&W paid all of the obligations owed under the Cash Collateral Provider Guaranty and there are no amounts outstanding under this guarantee at December 31, 2024.

On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a general agreement of indemnity in favor of one of B&W’s sureties. Pursuant to this indemnity agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the surety in connection with a default by B&W under a €30,000 payment and performance bond issued by the surety in connection with a construction project undertaken by B&W. In consideration for providing the indemnity, B&W paid the Company fees in the amount of $1,694 on January 20, 2022.

On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into a project specific indemnity rider to a general agreement of indemnity made by B&W in favor of one of its sureties. Pursuant to the indemnity rider, the Company agreed to indemnify the surety in connection with a default by B&W under the underlying indemnity agreement relating to a $29,970 payment and performance bond issued by the surety in connection with a construction project undertaken by B&W. In consideration for providing the indemnity rider, B&W paid the Company fees in the amount of $600 on August 26, 2020. During the period ended December 31, 2024, the indemnity rider was reduced to $2,997, which remained outstanding at June 30, 2025.

(c) Other Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to its clients in connection with capital raising transactions, such as firm commitment underwritings, equity lines of credit, or other commitments to provide financing on specified terms and conditions. Securities underwriting exposes the Company to market and credit risk, primarily in the event that, for any reason, securities purchased by the Company cannot be distributed at the anticipated price and to balance sheet risk in the event that debt or equity financing commitments cannot be syndicated.

The Company is party to a purchase agreement with a public company (the “Issuer”) under which the Issuer may require the Company to purchase the Issuer’s convertible preferred stock prior to April 30, 2028. If exercised, the Company would remit $25,000 in cash and receive preferred shares at a discount to their stated value, with the preferred stock convertible at the Company’s option into common shares of the Issuer based on a formula tied to market prices. The preferred stock also includes a contingent redemption feature if the Issuer’s common stock declines below a specified price threshold. As of June 30, 2025, the $25,000 commitment remained outstanding and had not been exercised by the Issuer, and no amounts were due. The Company purchased the $25,000 of preferred shares from the Issuer on July 15, 2025.

NOTE 18 — SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Employee Stock Incentive Plans

Under the 2021 B. Riley Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units under the Company’s 2021 Plan was:

			Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
			2025						2024						2025						2024
Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units for continuing operations			$	2,649					$	5,318					$	5,658					$	12,859
Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units for discontinued operations			822						724						1,038						1,557
Total share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units			$	3,471					$	6,042					$	6,696					$	14,416

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, in connection with employee stock incentive plans, the Company did not grant any restricted stock units. Share based compensation expense is recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company began settling equity-classified restricted stock units in cash and as a result of the past practice, the restricted stock units were reclassified to a liability in January of 2025. The change in classification was accounted for as a modification under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The grant date fair value of the original equity award exceeded the fair value of the modified liability award; therefore, the Company continues to recognize compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the original award and no additional compensation expense was recognized. Further, the changes in fair value of the liability at the end of the reporting period do not impact earnings. The modification was recognized by a reclassification of $2,138 of additional paid-in capital to a liability. The liability represents the fair value of the restricted stock units that have not been settled through the balance sheet date for which the requisite services have been provided by the employees. The fair value of the liability at each balance sheet date is determined based on the Company’s stock price. As of the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company settled $2,287 of restricted stock units in cash and as of June 30, 2025, the liability was $396, which is recorded in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, in connection with employee stock incentive plans, the Company granted 1,223,263 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $16,181. The restricted stock units generally vest over a period of one to five years based on continued service. In determining the fair value of restricted stock units on the grant date, the fair value is adjusted for expected dividends based on historical patterns and the Company’s anticipated dividend payments over the expected holding period and the risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasuries for a maturity matching the expected holding period.

(b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), there was no share based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, share based compensation expense totaled $70 and $307, respectively, of which $57 and $247, respectively, was recorded in continuing operations and $13 and $60, respectively, was recorded in discontinued operations. Share based compensation expense is recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 236,949 shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

(c) BRSH Stock Incentive Plan

On March 10, 2025, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary approved the BRSH Stock Incentive Plan which allows for issuance of up to 4,000,000 restricted stock awards of BRSH. On March 10, 2025, BRSH issued 1,873,600 restricted stock awards, representing approximately 10.0% of the equity of BRSH, to employees and officers with a grant date fair value of $21,657 in conjunction with the acquisition of the shell corporation as more fully described in see Note

66

---

2(n) - Noncontrolling Interests. The grant date fair value of the BRSH restricted stock awards was determined using the same discounted cash flows method and market value approach that was utilized to value the BRSH share issued to owners of the shell corporation as more fully described in Note 2(n) - Noncontrolling Interests with an additional discount of 17.5% for the lack of marketability due to the service condition of the restricted stock awards vesting over a period of up to five years.

The restricted stock awards vest over a period of four to five years based on continued service. The restricted stock awards vest for common stock of BRSH and increase the noncontrolling interest in BRSH, when vested. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, share-based compensation expense of $1,277 and $1,570, respectively, related to the BRSH restricted stock awards was recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(d) Common Stock and Stock Options Issued

On June 3, 2025, the Company issued 100,000 unregistered shares and options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the employment agreement entered into with the Company’s chief financial officer. The 100,000 unregistered shares issued were issued upon execution of the employment agreement as an employment inducement grant that is not subject to vesting conditions and expensed immediately. The fair value of the unregistered shares of $295 was expensed upon issuance. The 300,000 stock options vest in three tranches: (1) 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $7.00, (2) 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $10.00 and (3) 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $12.50. The stock options vest over a three year period based on continued service and accelerate upon a change in control. The maximum term of the stock options is 10 years. The estimated fair value of $523 for the options was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which included a risk free rate of 4.5%, volatility of 66.5% and expected dividend rate of zero. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, share based compensation expense for the options totaled $14.

NOTE 19 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(a) Common Stock

In November 2023, the Company’s previous share repurchase program for common stock was reauthorized by the Board of Directors for share repurchases up to $50,000 which allowed for the repurchase of common shares and expired in October 2024.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the warrants at issuance:

						Exchange Date

Upon the closing of that transaction, subsidiaries of the Company had a total equity interest in Freedom VCM of $281,144, representing a 31% voting interest and representation on the board of directors of Freedom VCM. The $281,144 equity interest consisted of an equity interest purchased in the take-private transaction of $216,500 and the roll-over of $64,644 of shares in FRG into additional equity interests in Freedom VCM. As part of the FRG take-private transaction, certain members of management of Freedom VCM, which are related parties to Freedom VCM, exchanged their equity interest in FRG for a combined 35% voting interest in Freedom VCM, of which Mr. Kahn and his wife and one of Mr. Kahn’s affiliates comprised 32%.

In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a non-recourse promissory note with another Freedom VCM affiliate in the amount of $58,872, with a stated interest rate of 19.74% and a maturity date of August 21, 2033, with payments of principal and interest limited solely to the performance of certain receivables held by BRRII. Principal and interest is payable based on the collateral without recourse to Freedom VCM Receivables, which includes the performance of certain consumer credit receivables.

On October 9, 2024, the promissory note was cancelled and certain of the receivables owned by BRRII were transferred to B. Riley Receivables, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all in accordance with the terms of that certain amended and restated funding agreement, dated December 18, 2023, by and among Freedom VCM Interco Holdings, Inc., Freedom VCM Receivables, Inc., BRRII, the Company and certain other parties thereto. This loan was sold on February 7, 2025, and as such, we no longer owned the loan as of June 30, 2025. This loan receivable was measured at fair value in the amount of $3,913 as of December 31, 2024. Interest income on this loan receivable was $2,238 and $4,392 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. There was no interest income on this loan receivable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company also had a related party loan receivable with a fair value of approximately $2,169 at December 31, 2024, from home-furnishing retailer W.S. Badcock Corporation (“Badcock”) that is collateralized by consumer finance receivables of Badcock. On December 18, 2023, Badcock was sold by Freedom VCM to Conn’s, and a subsidiary of the Company loaned Conn’s $108,000 pursuant to the Conn’s Term Loan which bears interest at an aggregate rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Conn’s Term Loan), subject to a 4.80% floor, plus a margin of 8.00% and matures on 8.00%. On February 14, 2024, the Company collected $15,000 of principal payments which reduced the loan balance to $93,000. The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases by Conn’s and certain of its subsidiaries in July 2024 constituted an event of default that accelerated the obligations under the Conn’s Term Loan. As of the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, $93,000 in outstanding borrowings existed under the Conn’s Term Loan. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the Conn’s Term Loan are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Company’s rights of enforcement in respect of the Conn’s Term Loan are subject to the applicable provisions of the

Bankruptcy Code. These loan receivables are reported as related party loan receivables due to the Company’s related party relationship with Freedom VCM and Freedom VCM’s ability to exercise influence over Conn’s as a result of the equity consideration Freedom VCM received from the sale of Badcock to Conn’s on December 18, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, interest income on these loans totaled $3,388 and $7,538, respectively. There was no interest income on these loans during 2025.

On June 27, 2024 and amended on July 19, 2024, Conn’s entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”), with a then subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Conn’s engaged the Company’s subsidiary to sell merchandise and furniture, fixtures, & equipment as well as additional goods at Conn’s and Badcock stores, headquarters, distribution centers, and cross-dock locations. The Consulting Agreement was assumed by the Conn’s debtors in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. On November 15, 2024, the Company sold the subsidiary that provided the consulting services to Conn’s in connection with the Great American Group transaction and, accordingly, included in discontinued operations for Great American Group (see Note 4) are $26,106 in revenues from services and fees earned from the Consulting Agreement for the period through November 15, 2024.

Vintage Capital Management - Brian Kahn

As discussed above, in connection with the completion of the FRG take-private transaction, one of the Company’s subsidiaries and VCM, an affiliate of Brian Kahn, (entered into the “Amended and Restated Note”). The Amended and Restated Note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,506 bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable-in-kind with a maturity date of December 31, 2027. The Amended and Restated Note required repayments prior to the maturity date from certain proceeds received by VCM, Mr. Kahn, or his affiliates from, among other proceeds, distributions or dividends paid by Freedom VCM in amount equal to the greater of (i) 80% of the net after-tax proceeds, and (ii) 50% of gross proceeds. The obligations under the Amended and Restated Note are primarily secured by a first priority perfected security interest in Freedom VCM equity interests owned by Mr. Kahn and his spouse with a value (based on the transaction price in the FRG take-private transaction) of $227,296 as of the closing of the FRG Take-private transaction. The fair value of the Freedom VCM equity interest owned by Mr. Kahn and his spouse was zero as of December 31, 2024. On November 3, 2024, Freedom VCM filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code which impacted the Freedom FVM equity interest which served as the collateral for this loan receivable. After the impairment of the collateral related to the Freedom equity interest, the fair value of the loan was $2,057 at December 31, 2024 which was determined based on the remaining collateral for this loan which is primarily comprised of other securities. Fair value adjustments on the VCM loan receivable were decreases of $(866) and $(151,147) during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and decreases of $(589) and $(168,385) during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In light of the Company’s determination that any repayment of the Amended and Restated Note would have been paid primarily from the cash distributions from Freedom VCM or foreclosure on the underlying Freedom VCM equity interest collateral provided by Mr. Kahn and his spouse, the Company has determined that both VCM and Mr. Kahn are related parties as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Interest income was $6,082 and $12,164, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There was no interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

NOTE 22 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company reports segment information based on the various industries the Company operates and how the businesses are managed. These businesses are aggregated into operating segments in a manner that reflects how the Company views the business activities. The Company’s businesses are operated by separate local management and certain of the Company’s businesses are grouped together when they operate within a similar industry, comprising similarities in products and services, customers, and production processes, and when considered together, may be managed in accordance with one or more investment or operational strategies specific to those businesses. The Company’s five reportable segments reflect the way the Company is managed, and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The individuals comprising the role of CODM are the Company’s two Co-Chief Executive Officer’s and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who collectively use segment operating income or loss as a measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The segment information the CODM regularly receives does not include asset information and does not use segment asset information to assess performance or allocate resources. Accordingly, asset information is not provided by reportable segment. The measure of assets is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

Revenues by segment represent amounts earned on the various services offered within each reportable segment. Our significant operating expenses regularly provided to the CODM and used to assess segment performance and determine the deployment of capital are classified as employee compensation and benefits expense, professional services, occupancy-related costs, other selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring charge, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Employee compensation and benefits expense consists of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, incentive compensation payable as commissions and cash bonus awards, and share based compensation for equity awards. Occupancy-related costs consists of office rent, technology and communication costs, and other office expenses. Professional services expense consists of legal, accounting, audit and other consulting expenses. Restructuring charges include expenses related to reorganization and consolidation activities which includes, among other, reductions in workforce and facility closures. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets. The balance of our operating expenses (other selling, general and administrative expenses) includes costs for travel, marketing and business development, and other operating expenses. Comparable prior year information has been recast to reflect the additional disclosure of employee compensation and benefits by segment, professional services by segment, occupancy-related costs by segment, and other selling, general and administrative expenses by segment, as well as to reflect discontinued operations presentation as described in Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.

and mobile computing accessories. BRC deploys its capital inside and outside its core financial services platform to generate shareholder value through opportunistic investments.

The Company also opportunistically invests in and acquires companies or assets with attractive risk-adjusted return, with a focus on making operational improvements within these companies in an effort to maximize free cash flow.

Our Business Segments

We maintain a diverse composition of businesses that operate in five reportable segments: Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Communications, Consumer Products, and E-Commerce segment. The descriptions below illustrate the businesses that comprise our segments.

Management evaluates many different financial and non-financial metrics to assess the individual performance of each of these various business segments. However, across most businesses, management primarily assesses each business’s financial performance based upon each of the businesses revenues and operating profits generated excluding non-cash charges and the impact of gains and losses related to securities and other investments held. Management believes that gains and losses on individual investments are generally impacted by individual characteristics specific to each investment and although this has an impact on our overall financial performance the impact of these gains and losses may not be indicative of the overall strength or weakness in each of our business operations. Additionally, in evaluating the financial performance of each of our businesses, management monitors the increase or decrease in operating results from period to period while factoring in the relative volatility inherent in each industry in which these businesses operate. Management recognizes that some of the Company’s businesses exhibit more volatile results.

Capital Markets Segment – We provide investment banking, equity research and institutional brokerage services to publicly traded and privately held companies, institutional investors, and financial sponsors; fund and asset management services to institutional and high-net-worth individual investors; and direct lending services to middle market companies. We also trade equity securities as a principal for our account, including investments in funds managed by our subsidiaries. We maintain an investment portfolio comprised of public and private equities and debt securities. We also opportunistically provide loans to our clients, and we engage in securities-based lending which involves the borrowing and lending of equity and fixed income securities.

Our investment approach is value-oriented and represents a core competency of our capital markets strategy. We act as an advisor to our clients, which at times involves complex transactions consistent with our value-oriented investment philosophy. We often provide consulting, capital raising, or investment banking services for companies in which B. Riley may have significant influence through equity ownership, representation on the board of directors (or similar governing body), or both.

Wealth Management Segment – We provide retail brokerage, investment management, and insurance, and tax preparation services to individuals and families, small businesses, non-profits, trusts, foundations, endowments, and qualified retirement plans through a boutique private wealth and investment management firm to meet the individual financial needs and goals of our customers. Our experienced financial advisors provide investment management, retirement planning, education planning, wealth transfer and trust coordination, and lending and liquidity solutions. Our investment strategists provide strategies and real-time market views and commentary to help our clients make important and informed financial and investment decisions.

Communications Segment – We own a number of businesses that comprises our Communications Segment that we have acquired for attractive risk-adjusted investment return characteristics. We may pursue future acquisitions to expand this portfolio of businesses which currently includes: Lingo Management, LLC (“Lingo”), a global cloud/unified communications and managed service provider that includes the operations of BullsEye Telecom, Inc. (“BullsEye”), a single source communications and cloud technology provider (previously merged into Lingo); Marconi Wireless Holdings, LLC (“Marconi Wireless”), a mobile virtual network operator that provides mobile phone voice, text, and data services and devices; magicJack VoIP Services, LLC (“magicJack”), a VoIP cloud-based technology and communications provider that offers related devices and subscription services; and United Online, Inc. (“UOL”), an Internet access provider that offers dial-up, mobile broadband and digital subscriber line services under the NetZero and Juno brands.

Consumer Products Segment – This segment is comprised of Tiger US Holdings, Inc. (“Targus”), which is a multinational company that, together with its subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, and sells consumer and enterprise productivity products with a large business-to-business (B2B) customer client base and global distribution in over 100 countries. The Targus product line includes laptop and tablet cases, backpacks, universal docking stations, and computer accessories.

E-Commerce Segment – This segment is comprised of Nogin, Inc. (“Nogin”), which is a technology platform operating e-commerce stores that delivers Commerce-as-a-Service (“CaaS”) solutions for apparel brands and other retailers. The Company manages clients’ front-to-back-end operations of the e-commerce stores and also provides marketing services to their clients. The Company’s business model is based on providing a comprehensive e-commerce solution to its customers on a revenue sharing basis.

Our operating results are primarily comprised of the operations of these businesses within our five reportable operating segments. However, we also generate revenues from other businesses that we may acquire with the goal to expand their operations, drive growth, and create operational efficiencies to improve cash flows to reinvest across other business operations in our platform. These businesses are typically in fragmented markets and include the operations of a regional environmental services business, and bebe which operates rent-to-own stores.

In prior years, we also generated operating revenues from our majority owned subsidiary that licenses the trademarks and intellectual properties from our ownership of six brands: Catherine Malandrino, English Laundry, Joan Vass, Kensie Girl, Limited Too and Nanette Lepore, and we generated other income from dividends we receive from our equity ownership of investments that range from 10% to 50% in companies that license the trademark and intellectual property of the Hurley, Justice, and Scotch & Soda brands and bebe and Brookstone brands (equity ownership of bebe stores, inc. (“bebe”), our majority owned subsidiary). We also reported fair value adjustments from these equity investments since we elected to account for these equity investments using the fair value method of accounting. These operating results are included in discontinued operations and are expected to be deconsolidated as a result of the Sale by bebe and completion of the secured financing of the Brand Interests as discussed in Note 4 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Developments

Exchange of Senior Notes

As discussed in more detail in Note 12 - Senior Notes Payable with respect to prior private exchange transactions, on July 11, 2025, the Company completed private exchange transactions with institutional investors pursuant to which aggregate principal amounts of approximately $2.1 million of the 6.50% Senior Notes Payable due September 30, 2026, $19.7 million of the 5.00% Senior Notes due December 2026, $4.7 million of the 6.00% Senior Notes due January 2028, and $16.4 million of the 5.25% Senior Notes due August 2028 (collectively, the “Exchanged Notes”) owned by the investors were exchanged for approximately $24.6 million aggregate principal amount of newly-issued 8.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028 (the “New Notes”), whereupon the Exchanged Notes were cancelled.

Targus/FGI Credit Agreement

On August 20, 2025, Targus (“Targus Borrower”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “FGI Loan Parties”) entered into a Revolving Credit, Receivables Purchase, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “Targus/FGI Credit Agreement”) with FGI Worldwide LLC (“FGI”), as agent and for a three-year $30.0 million revolving loan facility, the proceeds of which were used to refinance and repay all obligations under the existing Targus Credit Agreement (as more fully discussed in Note 11 — Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The final maturity date of the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is August 20, 2028. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is a revolving line of credit facility with a receivables purchase feature under which the purchase of eligible receivables is on a full recourse basis with each borrower retaining the risk of non-payment. The revolving loans bear interest at the greater of (a) 5.25% per annum or (b) 3.00% above the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a period of 1 month plus 10 basis points, plus (c) 0.30% per month collateral management fee. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is secured by (i) a first priority perfected security interest in and a lien upon all of the assets of the FGI Loan Parties, and (ii) a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Borrower and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including those limiting the FGI Loan Parties’ ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of their businesses, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults and cross defaults. If an uncured event of default occurs, FGI would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement. As required under the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement, B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (“BRCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to an existing intercompany loan and security agreement to extend an additional

subordinated loan to the Targus Borrower at the closing of the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement in the amount of $5.0 million increasing the aggregate principal amount of such loan from $5.0 million to $10.0 million.

Name Change

On November 11, 2025, the Company announced that it will change its name to BRC Group Holdings, Inc., effective on January 1, 2026.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may significantly differ from those estimates. Critical accounting estimates represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting estimates, which include fair value measurements, goodwill and other intangible assets, and accounting for income tax valuation allowances can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

At June 30, 2025 qualitative factors indicated it could be more likely than not that the carrying value of the Targus tradename in the Consumer Products segment could be impaired. In order to estimate the fair value of the Targus tradename management must make certain estimates and assumptions which, among other things, included an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, discount rates, and revenue growth rates. The inputs for the fair value calculations included a 3.5% growth rate to calculate the terminal value, a discount rate of 22.2%, and a royalty rate of 1.5%. This resulted in an impairment charge for the Targus tradename in the amount of $1.5 million at June 30, 2025. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and any impairment charge for the tradename. Any changes from our current estimates and assumptions that result in materially different estimates and assumptions in the future in response to changing economic conditions, changes in our business or for other reasons could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges in future periods. There were no impairments of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles of other reporting units identified in an interim basis during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Total revenues increased $130.4 million to $225.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $94.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in fair value adjustments on loans of $176.4 million, and increases in fair value of the portfolio of securities and other investments owned of $59.0 million, partially offset by decreases in revenues from services and fees of $57.1 million, interest income from securities lending of $22.7 million, interest income from loans of $14.7 million, and sale of goods of $10.5 million. Of the $176.4 million increase in fair value adjustments related to loans, $150.3 million related to the loan to Vintage Capital Management, LLC (“VCM”), $12.0 million related to Freedom VCM Receivables, Inc. (“Freedom VCM”), $7.4 million related to W.S. Badcock Corporation (“Badcock”) and $7.2 million related to the loan to Conn’s Inc. (“Conn’s”).

months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of decreases in revenue of $17.0 million in the Communications segment, $16.2 million in the Wealth Management segment, $11.1 million in the Capital Markets segment, $10.1 million in All Other, and $2.7 million in the E-Commerce segment.

Revenues from services and fees in the Capital Markets segment decreased $11.1 million to $39.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $50.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases of $7.7 million of corporate finance, consulting, and investment banking fees, $2.4 million in commission fees, $1.7 million of interest income, $0.4 million in asset management fees, and $0.4 million in dividends, partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in other income. The decrease in investment banking revenues is related to the episodic nature of this business and the decline in business due to the late SEC filings of the parent company. The decreases in investment banking revenues were $22.9 million in at the market fees, $9.4 million in mergers and acquisitions advisory fees, $5.2 million in investment banking underwriting fees, and $2.9 million in private placement fees.

Revenues from the Wealth Management segment are comprised of the following:

			Three Months Ended June 30,
			2025						2024
Revenues - Services and fees
Brokerage revenues			$	15,369					$	22,824
Advisory revenues			12,163						20,216
Other			5,889						6,542
Total services and fees revenue			33,421						49,582
Trading gains, net			5,200						1,291
Total revenues			$	38,621					$	50,873

Revenues from brokerage and advisory decreased $15.5 million to $27.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $43.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases in revenue of from wealth and asset management fees due to a reduction in AUM which was driven by a loss of headcount of wealth management advisors and the Stifel transaction in April 2025. Refer to Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Total assets under management were approximately $13.7 billion and $25.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Of these amounts, advisory assets under management totaled approximately $4.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and $8.0 billion at June 30, 2024. Advisory revenues were 0.27% and 0.25% of average advisory assets under management during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average revenues earned on advisory assets under management are not expected to fluctuate significantly from period to period as a percentage of advisory assets under management. Broker revenues are primarily comprised of commissions and fees earned from trading activities from brokerage client assets. Other revenues is primarily comprised of tax service fees and management fees earned from comprehensive client focused services performed.

Revenues from services and fees in the Communications segment decreased $17.0 million to $60.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $77.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases in subscription revenue of $16.7 million, $10.7 million of which related to divestiture of the Lingo wholesale carrier business in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Of the remaining $6.0 million decrease in subscription revenue, $3.4 million was from Lingo, $1.4 million was from Marconi Wireless, $0.8 million was from magicJack, and $0.4 million was from UOL. We expect Lingo, magicJack, Marconi Wireless and UOL subscription revenue to continue to decline year-over-year as landline and VoIP technologies are older and cellular services are offered in a highly competitive marketplace.

There were no revenues from services and fees in the E-Commerce segment during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This segment consisted of Nogin which we deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Revenues from services and fees in All Other decreased $10.1 million to $12.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $22.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. These revenues include merchandise rental

fees and sales from bebe, and the operations of a regional environmental services business, which was sold in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues from services and fees in All Other decreased by $9.5 million related to the regional environmental services business, and $1.1 million related to merchandise rental fees from bebe, partially offset by an increase in revenues of $0.6 million in other revenue.

Trading gains (losses), net increased $59.0 million to income of $27.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to loss of $31.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The income of $27.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to realized and unrealized income on investments made in our proprietary trading accounts, primarily $13.4 million on Applied Digital Corporation (“Applied Digital”), $4.5 million on Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W”) and $4.0 million on Channell Commercial Corporation (“Channell”).

The $176.4 million favorable variance in fair value adjustment related to our loans receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by $150.3 million related to the VCM, $12.0 million related to Freedom VCM, $7.4 million related to Badcock and $7.2 million related to Conn’s.

Interest income from loans decreased $14.7 million to $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $18.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to non-accrual of interest on the following adjusted loans: $6.1 million for VCM, $3.4 million for Conn’s, $2.2 million for Freedom VCM, which was sold in February 2025, and $1.6 million for Nogin, as well as a reduction in loan receivable balances from $229.2 million as of June 30, 2024 to $49.0 million as of June 30, 2025.

Interest income from securities lending decreased $22.7 million to $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $24.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a reduction in the securities borrowed balance from $743.0 million as of June 30, 2024 to $72.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and decreases of revenue from business decline due to counterparties constraining their business activity.

Revenues from the sale of goods decreased $10.5 million to $45.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $55.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Total revenues increased $18.9 million to $411.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $392.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in revenue from fair value adjustments on loans of $180.5 million, and in the fair value of the portfolio of securities and other investments owned of $60.5 million, partially offset by decreases in revenues from services and fees of $112.4 million, interest income from securities lending of $59.6 million, interest income from loans of $33.6 million, and sale of goods of $16.5 million. Of the $180.5 million increase in fair value adjustments related to loans, $167.8 million related to VCM, $15.1 million related to the loan to Freedom VCM, and $7.1 million related to Badcock, partially offset by a decrease of $8.5 million related to Core Scientific, Inc.

Capital Markets segment, and $34.9 million in the Communications segment, and $20.7 million in the Wealth Management segment, and $11.2 million in All Other, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $0.7 million in the E-Commerce segment.

Revenues from services and fees in the Capital Markets segment decreased $46.3 million to $64.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $110.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases of $40.2 million of corporate finance, consulting, and investment banking fees, $5.4 million in commission fees, $2.6 million in interest income and $1.4 million in dividends, $0.8 million in other income, partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million in advisory fees related to the Innovation X and GACP II funds. The decrease in investment banking revenues is related to the episodic nature of this business and the decline in business due to the late SEC filings of the parent company. The decreases in investment banking revenues were $33.5 million in at the market fees, $20.6 million in mergers and acquisitions advisory fees, $12.7 million in investment banking underwriting fees, and $6.7 million in private placement fees.

Revenues from the Wealth Management segment are comprised of the following:

									Six Months Ended June 30,
															2025						2024
Revenues - Services and fees
Brokerage revenues															$	33,715					$	46,493
Advisory revenues															28,597						39,566
Other															17,775						14,705
Total services and fees revenue															80,087						100,764
Trading gains, net															5,812						1,891
Total revenues															$	85,899					$	102,655

Revenues from brokerage and advisory decreased $23.7 million to $62.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $86.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases in revenue of from wealth and asset management fees due to a reduction in AUM which was driven by a loss of headcount of wealth management advisors and the Stifel transaction in April 2025. Refer to Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Total assets under management were approximately $13.7 billion and $25.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Of these amounts, advisory assets under management totaled approximately $4.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and $8.0 billion at June 30, 2024. Advisory revenues were 0.26% and 0.25% of average advisory assets under management during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average revenues earned on advisory assets under management are not expected to fluctuate significantly from period to period as a percentage of advisory assets under management. Broker revenues are primarily comprised of commissions and fees earned from trading activities from brokerage client assets. Other revenues is primarily comprised of tax service fees and management fees earned from comprehensive client focused services performed.

Revenues from services and fees in the Communications segment decreased $34.9 million to $123.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $158.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreases in subscription revenue of $34.3 million, $23.1 million of which related to divestiture of the Lingo wholesale carrier business in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Of the remaining $11.2 million decrease in subscription revenue, $6.3 million was from Lingo, $2.4 million was from Marconi Wireless, $1.9 million was from magicJack, and $0.6 million was from UOL. We expect Lingo, UOL, magicJack, and Marconi Wireless subscription revenue to continue to decline year-over-year as landline and VoIP technologies are older and cellular services are offered in a highly competitive marketplace.

Revenues from services and fees in the E-Commerce segment were $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This segment consisted of Nogin which we deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Revenues from services and fees in All Other decreased by $10.1 million due to the operations of a regional environmental services business, and $2.9 million related to merchandise rental fees from bebe, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in other revenue.

Trading gains (losses), net increased $60.5 million to income of $11.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $49.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The income of $11.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to realized and unrealized income on investments made in our proprietary trading accounts, primarily $13.4 million for APLD, and $4.0 million for Channell, partially offset by losses of $10.6 million for B&W.

In our Capital Markets segment we have a portfolio of loans receivable that are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in our results of operations. The loan portfolio and fair value adjustments on loans consisted of the following:

The $180.5 million favorable variance in fair value adjustment related to our loans receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by $167.8 million related to VCM loan, $15.1 million related to the loan to Freedom VCM, and $7.1 million related to Badcock loan, partially offset by a decrease of $8.5 million related to the Core Scientific loan.

Interest income - loans decreased $33.6 million to $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $40.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to non-accrual of interest on the following adjusted loans: $12.2 million for VCM, $7.4 million for Conn’s, $4.4 million for Freedom VCM, which was sold

in February 2025, and $3.5 million for Nogin, as well as a reduction in loan receivable balances from $229.2 million as of June 30, 2024 to $49.0 million as of June 30, 2025.

Interest income – securities lending decreased $59.6 million to $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $62.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a reduction in the securities borrowed balance from $743.0 million as of June 30, 2024 to $72.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and decreases of revenue from business decline due to counterparties constraining their business activity.

The Company expects to collect approximately $31.5 million of loans at fair value in the next twelve months and has approximately $89.1 million of level 1 securities and other investments owned that are available for sale during the next twelve months.

The Company expects to utilize existing cash balances, cash generated from investments, cash proceeds from the sale of certain businesses described below, available borrowing capacity under our existing revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations to fund debt service obligations over the next twelve months which includes amounts coming due on the Company’s senior notes payable as discussed in Note 12 - Senior Notes Payable. The Company may also explore various funding options in the future that may include additional debt exchanges, refinancing of existing senior notes and other debt, equity capital raises, the sale of operating companies, or the liquidation of securities and investments owned to provide liquidity to meet future debt obligations as they become due.

The following summarizes key liquidity events.

We completed the sale of (a) the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Atlantic Coast Recycling, LLC on March 3, 2025 for proceeds of approximately $68.6 million (the “Atlantic Coast Transaction”); (b) the sale of part of the Wealth Management business for $26.0 million (the “Wealth Management Transaction”) as more fully described in Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; and (c) the sale of the Company’s financial consulting business on June 27, 2025 for $117.8 million. In addition to the sale of these businesses, approximately $53.5 million of investments were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and approximately $10.8 million of investments were sold from July 1, 2025 through November 30, 2025. Approximately $55.8 million in repayments of loans receivable, fair value were received during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and approximately $25.3 million in repayments of loans receivable, fair value were received from July 1, 2025 through November 30, 2025. The sale of additional investments in the next twelve months will vary based upon the realization of the investments providing the best economic value or as liquidity needs arise for the Company.

As discussed in more detail in Note 12 - Senior Notes Payable with respect to prior private exchange transactions and above in Recent Developments, on July 11, 2025, the Company completed private exchange transactions with institutional investors pursuant to which the Exchanged Notes owned by the investors were exchanged for approximately $24.6 million aggregate principal amount of the New Notes, whereupon the Exchanged Notes were cancelled.

The borrowings outstanding of $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2025 included $1.3 billion from the issuance of series of senior notes that are due at various dates ranging from March 31, 2026 to August 31, 2028 with interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 8.00%, $124.6 million in term loans borrowed pursuant to the Oaktree Term Loan and BRPAC Term Loan, and $12.1 million of revolving credit facility under the Targus Revolver. Of the senior notes outstanding, after the completion of the Exchanged Notes described above, there is $101.6 million due in the next twelve months and $1.2 billion thereafter. The $135.0 million of term loans outstanding includes $16.0 million that is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months and $119.0 million thereafter. Of the approximately $53.4 million of obligations due under operating leases, approximately $18.2 million is due in the next twelve months and approximately $35.2 million is due thereafter. For additional information regarding our debt offerings and related agreements, refer to Note 10 - Notes Payable, Note 11 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility, and Note 12 - Senior Notes Payable to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the current cash and cash equivalents, securities and other investments owned, funds available under our credit facilities, and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from issuance date of the accompanying financial statements. We continue to monitor our financial performance to ensure sufficient liquidity to fund operations and execute on our business plan.

Dividends

From time to time, we may decide to pay dividends which will be dependent upon our financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we did not pay any cash dividends on our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid cash dividends on our common stock of $33.7 million. In August 2024, we announced the suspension of our common stock dividend as we prioritize reducing our debt. The declaration and payment of any future dividends or repurchases of our common stock will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditures, and other factors that may be deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Our principal sources of liquidity to finance our business are our existing cash on hand, cash flows generated from operating activities, funds available under revolving credit facilities and special purpose financing arrangements.

Cash Flow Summary

			Six Months Ended June 30,
			2025						2024
			(Dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities			$	(25,375)					$	246,839

Cash used in operating activities was $25.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $246.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The reduction of $272.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 was primarily due to $439.3 million less cash generated from securities and other investments owned, as fewer securities positions were sold to provide liquidity to fund operations and redemption of the 6.375% Senior Notes due February 28, 2025, partially offset by an increase of $175.1 million in net income, net of non-cash items. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of the impact of net loss of $124.4 million, noncash items of $167.7 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $17.9 million. The negative cash flow impact from non-cash items of $167.7 million included gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses of $86.2 million, gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $66.8 million, gain on senior note exchange of $55.0 million, income from equity investments of $25.1 million, fair value and remeasurement adjustments of $6.8 million, gain on sale or disposal of fixed assets and other of $1.1 million, and net foreign currency gains of $0.5 million, partially offset by loss on extinguishment of debt of $20.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $18.8 million, deferred income taxes of $9.1 million, share-based compensation of $8.6 million, depreciation of rental merchandise of $6.7 million, non-cash interest and other of $6.6 million, provision for losses on accounts receivable of $1.6 million, impairment of goodwill and tradenames of $1.5 million and dividends from equity investment of $0.1 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of the impact of net loss of $481.7 million, non-cash items of $263.4 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $465.2 million. The positive cash flow impact from non-cash items of $263.4 million included fair value adjustments of $189.5 million, impairment of goodwill and tradenames of $27.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $22.9 million, share-based

compensation of $14.9 million, depreciation of rental merchandise of $8.2 million, deferred income taxes of $1.4 million, provision for losses on accounts receivable of $1.2 million, income allocated for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.8 million, net foreign currency losses of $0.3 million, partially offset by non-cash interest and other of $3.3 million, and gain on sale of business of $0.3 million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $289.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $282.5 million in net cash provided by investing activities in 2025 was primarily due to $114.0 million in proceeds received from the sale of the GlassRatner and Farber business, $68.9 million in proceeds received from the sale of the Atlantic Coast Recycling business, $34.9 million in distributions received from equity investment Joann Retail, a new investment in 2025, $26.0 million in proceeds from the sale of the Wealth Management business, and a decrease of $19.1 million in cash paid for acquisitions, as Nogin was acquired in 2024 and there were no acquisitions in 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by investing activities consisted of cash provided by proceeds from sale of discontinued operations of $114.0 million, loans receivable repayment of $105.4 million, proceeds from sale of business, net of cash sold and other of $94.9 million, distributions from equity investments of $34.9 million, proceeds from sale of loans receivable of $10.4 million, proceeds from sale of property, equipment, intangible assets and other of $7.2 million, proceeds from sale of loan participations of $4.5 million, and proceeds from consolidation of VIE of $0.4 million, partially offset by cash used in purchases of loans receivable of $66.7 million, purchases of property, equipment and intangible assets of $9.1 million, and purchases of equity and other investments of $6.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by investing activities consisted of cash received from loans receivable repayment of $72.4 million and proceeds from sale of loan receivable of $22.8 million, partially offset by cash used for purchases of loans receivable of $63.2 million, acquisition of businesses and minority interest of $19.1 million, purchases of property, equipment and intangible assets of $5.4 million, purchases of equity and other investments of $0.5 million, and proceeds from sale of business, net of cash sold and other of $0.1 million.

Cash used in financing activities was $252.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to cash used in financing activities of $243.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $8.9 million in net cash used in financing activities in 2025 was primarily due to a net increase in debt-related payments of $46.0 million, partially offset by the suspension of dividends, compared to $37.7 million paid in common stock and preferred dividends in 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $310.3 million used in the repayment of term loan, $145.3 million used to redeem senior notes, $50.6 million used in payment of revolving line of credit, $13.1 million used to repay our notes payable and other, $11.3 million used to pay debt issuance and offering costs, $3.2 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests, and $1.4 million used to pay contingent consideration, partially offset by cash provided by $235.6 million in proceeds from term loan, $46.4 million in proceeds from revolving line of credit, and $0.9 million in proceeds from notes payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $140.5 million used to redeem senior notes, $64.3 million used in repayment of revolving line of credit, $45.6 million used in the repayment of term loan, $33.6 million used to pay dividends on our common shares, $5.7 million used to repay our notes payable and other, $4.0 million used to pay dividends on our preferred shares, $3.2 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests, $3.1 million used in payment of employment taxes on vesting of restricted stock, $1.4 million used in the payment of contingent consideration, and $1.0 million used in the payment of debt issuance and offering costs, partially offset by cash provided by $40.3 million in proceeds from revolving line of credit, $15.0 million in proceeds from note payable, $3.0 million in contributions from noncontrolling interests, and $0.7 million in proceeds from exercise of warrants.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 2(s) - Recent Accounting Standards to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for recent accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We transact business in various foreign currencies. In countries where the functional currency of the underlying operations has been determined to be the local country’s currency, revenues and expenses of operations outside the United States are translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates while assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States are translated into United States dollars using period-end exchange rates. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Transaction gains (losses) are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk which primarily relates to changes in cost of borrowings as a result of changes in interest rates. We utilize borrowings under our senior notes payable and credit facilities to fund costs and expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions and operations. Borrowings under our senior notes payable are at fixed interest rates and borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at a floating rates of interest. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 90% of our debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates and not impacted by changes in interest rates. Our interest expense from variable-rate debt obligations is principally affected by changes in the published Secured Overnight Financing Rate in connection with our credit facilities. Our variable-rate debt obligations are principally used to provide financing to our operating businesses which are supported by cash flows from operations for those businesses. The cash flows of such operating businesses are utilized to help to mitigate any increases in interest expense as a result of an increase in interest rates.

Management monitors the composition of debt obligations and debt investments on a periodic basis, as well as projected net interest income, interest coverage, and sensitivity of interest income changes in interest rates. This exposure is also monitored by our risk management group and reviewed periodically in risk committee meetings. If floating rates of interest had increased or decreased by 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the rate increase or decrease would have resulted in an increase of $0.9 million or a decrease of $1.0 million in interest expense, respectively. If conditions existed in which Management would seek to mitigate potential interest rate risk, Management could elect to take steps such as entering into interest rate hedges, and refinancing debt obligations from floating-rate to fixed-rate.

An objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income that we receive from investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, our investments allow us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents, short-term investments through a variety of securities owned that primarily includes common stocks, loans receivable, and investments in partnership interests. Our cash and cash equivalents through June 30, 2025 included amounts in bank checking and liquid money market accounts. We may be exposed to interest rate risk through trading activities in convertible and fixed income securities as well as U.S. Treasury securities, however, based on our daily monitoring of this risk, we believe we currently have limited exposure to interest rate risk in these activities.

Foreign Currency Risk

The majority of our operating activities are conducted in U.S. dollars. Revenues generated from our foreign subsidiaries totaled $51.6 million and $63.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, or 12.5% and 16.1% of our total revenues of $411.4 million and $392.5 million. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, with the exception of revenues, costs, and expenses, which are translated at average rates during the reporting period. We include gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in income, while we exclude those resulting from translation of financial statements from income and include them as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains (losses), which were included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, amounted to gains of $0.4 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We may be exposed to foreign currency risk; however, our operating results during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, included $51.6 million and $63.4 million of revenues, respectively, and $10.9 million and $11.8 million of operating expenses from our foreign subsidiaries, respectively, and a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in an approximately $(0.2) million and $0.4 million change in our operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2025 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as set forth below under “Material Weakness and Remediation,” there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness and Remediation

The Company previously identified in its 2024 Annual Report the following material weaknesses:

•The Company identified two material weaknesses in controls related to information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) at our Lingo Management, LLC and Tiger US Holdings, Inc. subsidiaries in the areas of user access, program change management, and information technology (“IT”) operations over IT systems and the reports generated from these systems used in the execution of controls that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. As a result, business-process automated and manual controls that were dependent on the affected ITGCs could have been adversely impacted.

•The Company identified a material weakness relating to the design and operating effectiveness of management’s review controls over the investment valuation of Level 3 investments such that management’s review procedures were not operating at a level of precision sufficient to prevent or detect a potential material misstatement in the consolidated statements.

•The Company identified a material weakness relating to the design and operating effectiveness of management’s review controls over the identification and disclosure of material related party transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 850, Related Party Disclosures. Specifically, management’s review procedures were not operating at a level of precision sufficient to prevent or detect a potential material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements.

•The Company identified a material weakness relating to the design and operating effectiveness of management’s review controls over the income tax provision such that management’s review procedures were not operating at a level of precision to prevent or detect a potential material misstatement in the consolidated statements.

•The Company identified two material weaknesses related to the design and operating effectiveness of management’s review controls over goodwill such that management did not adequately evaluate relevant factors and indicators to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a business segment was less than the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangibles assigned to that reporting unit as well as a lack of appropriate approval in accordance with Company policy over significant decisions involving goodwill.

•The Company identified a material weakness related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to journal entry controls. There was a lack of segregation of duties considerations associated within the journal entry approval workflow. The workflow in the system did not systemically prevent individuals who can post journal entries to also approve the same entries. Additionally, the Company did not retain evidence of review of certain journal entries.

104

---

•The Company identified material weaknesses in controls related to ITGCs at bebe in the areas of user access, program change management, and IT operations over IT systems and the reports generated from these systems used in the execution of controls that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. As a result, business process automated and manual controls that were dependent on the affected ITGCs could have been adversely impacted. Additionally, the Company did not consistently retain evidence of review, further contributing to the material weakness.

•The Company identified a material weakness in controls due to its inability to rely on the SOC 1 Type 2 reports associated with two third-party service organizations that support significant elements of its financial reporting processes over B. Riley Retail Solutions, LLC. Specifically, the Company did not have adequate ITGCs in place over the IT systems and related reports at these third-party service providers, which are used in the execution of controls supporting the Company’s financial reporting. As a result, business process automated and manual controls that were dependent on these ITGCs at the service organizations could have been adversely impacted.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

Management continues to implement measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses noted above are remediated, such that the controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions for the material weaknesses noted above include:

•     Prior to December 31, 2024, the Retail Solutions material weakness was remediated through the divestiture of the business in November 2024.

•     Implementation and enhancement of its ITGCs and related policies. This includes providing resources, training and support to process owners and reviewers with a specific focus on understanding the risks being addressed by the controls they are performing, as well as requirements for sufficient documentation and evidence in the execution of the controls.

•     Updating of its IT policies and procedures to enhance user access, change management, and IT operations processes to ensure timely and accurate assignment of access rights and prompt removal of access for terminated employees, and to ensure appropriate restriction of access rights based on job responsibilities.

•     Designing of alternative processes and controls to mitigate the risk of the third-party services providers not producing the SOC 1 Type 2 reports.

•     Implementation of measures designed to ensure controls are appropriately designed, implemented, and operating effectively as it relates to the material weakness identified in investment valuations, related party transactions, income taxes, goodwill impairment assessment, and journal entries. The remediation actions include the improvement of the precision level of management review controls, documentation retention and additional resources.

While the foregoing measures are intended to effectively remediate the material weaknesses, it is possible that additional remediation steps will be necessary. As such, as we continue to evaluate and implement our plan to remediate the material weaknesses, our management may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps described above. The weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance

105

---

that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries are named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. In addition to such legal and other claims, reviews, investigations, and proceedings, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the risk of unasserted claims, including, among others, as it relates to matters related to Mr. Kahn and our investment in Freedom VCM. If such claims are made, however, the Company believes it has valid defenses from any such claim and any such claim would be without merit. The Company has not accrued for any such contingent liabilities, but such contingent liabilities could be realized which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.

On July 11, 2025, the Company’s subsidiary, B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“BRS”), received a demand letter from certain parties that invested in a special purpose entity (the “SPV”) that in turn invested in the going private transaction (the “Transaction”) in August 2023 of Franchise Group, Inc. An arbitration demand (the “Demand”) was filed by such parties with the American Arbitration Association on October 10, 2025 against BRS and related entities (the “BR Defendants”). The Demand alleges that the BR Defendants (i) failed to disclose certain material facts regarding FRG and the Transaction in violation of certain securities laws, (ii) committed fraud and/or civil conspiracy, and (iii) breached fiduciary duties and aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties. Such investors seek rescission of the aggregate investment amount of $37.5 million plus interest thereon and related fees and expenses. The Company believes such claims are meritless and intends to defend such action.

On February 14, 2025, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed by Michael Marchner in the Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of the Company and against the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s officers and the board of directors (i) breached their fiduciary duties related to the Company’s involvement with Brian Kahn and subsequent legal issues, (ii) engaged in misconduct, and (iii) wasted corporate assets, including the approval of improper compensation. The Company believes that these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On January 22, 2025, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed by James Smith in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County against the Company, certain of the Company’s executive officers and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s officers and directors (i) breached their fiduciary duties related to the Company’s involvement with Brian Kahn and subsequent legal issues, (ii) engaged in a waste of corporate assets, and (iii) received unjust enrichment. The Company believes that these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On July 9, 2024, a putative class action was filed by Brian Gale, Mark Noble, Terry Philippas and Lawrence Bass in the Delaware Chancery Court against Freedom VCM, Mr. Kahn, Andrew Laurence, Matthew Avril, and the Company. This complaint alleges that former shareholders of FRG suffered damages due to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by officers, directors and other participants in the August 2023 management-led take private transaction of FRG and that the Company aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The claim seeks an award of unspecified damages, rescissory damages and/or quasi-appraisal damages, disgorgement of profits, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and interest thereon. The Company believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On July 3, 2024, each of the Company and Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requesting the production of certain documents and other information primarily related to (i) the Company’s business dealings with Brian Kahn, (ii) certain transactions in an unrelated public company’s securities, and (iii) the communications and related compliance and other policies and procedures of certain of its regulated subsidiaries. On November 22, 2024, each of the Company and Mr. Riley received an additional SEC subpoena requesting the production of certain additional documents and information relating to Franchise Group, Inc. (including its holding company, Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC) as well as Mr. Riley’s personal loan and his pledge of shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for such loan. As previously disclosed on April 23, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, the Company’s legal counsel, conducted an internal review, and separately the Audit Committee retained Winston & Strawn LLP, independent legal counsel, to conduct an independent investigation, to review transactions among Mr. Kahn (and his affiliates) and the Company (and its affiliates). The review and the investigation both confirmed that the Company and its executives, including Mr. Riley, had no involvement with, or knowledge of, any alleged misconduct concerning Mr. Kahn

or any of his affiliates. The receipt of subpoenas is not an indication that the SEC or its staff has determined that any violations of law have occurred. Both the Company and Mr. Riley are responding to the subpoenas and are fully cooperating with the SEC.

On May 2, 2024, a putative class action was filed by Ted Donaldson in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles on behalf of all persons who acquired the Company’s senior notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-3 dated January 28, 2021, and the prospectuses filed and published on August 4, 2021 and December 2, 2021 (the “Offerings”). The action asserts claims under §§ 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) against the Company, some of the Company’s current and former officers and directors, and the financial institutions that served as underwriters and book runners for the Offerings. An amended complaint was filed on September 27, 2024. The amended complaint alleges that the offering documents failed to advise investors that Brian Kahn and/or one or more of his controlled entities was engaged in illicit business activities, that the Company, despite the foregoing, continued to finance transactions for Kahn, eventually enabling him and others to take FRG private, and that the foregoing was reasonably likely to draw regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm to the Company. The Company believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend this action.

On January 24, 2024, a putative securities class action complaint was filed by Mike Coan in U.S. Federal District Court, Central District of California, against the Company, Mr. Riley, Tom Kelleher and Phillip Ahn. The purported class includes persons and entities that purchased shares of the Company’s common stock between May 10, 2023 and November 9, 2023. A second putative class action lawsuit was filed on March 15, 2024 by the KL Kamholz Joint Revocable Trust (“Kamholz”). On August 8, 2024, this matter was consolidated with the Kamholz matter and an amended complaint was then filed on April 21, 2025. The amended complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose to investors material financial details concerning a going private transaction involving FRG, and that the Company made false or misleading statements concerning the Company’s lending practices, its high concentration of risk in transactions involving Mr. Kahn and his affiliates, the condition and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, the Company’s due diligence and risk management procedures, and the Company’s level of concern and internal scrutiny concerning Mr. Kahn after it learned he was potentially implicated in a fraud involving an unrelated third party. The amended complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential liability, if any, that could arise from these matters and believes these claims are meritless and intends to defend these actions.

On September 21, 2023, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (“BRCC”), received a demand alleging that certain payments to BRCC in the aggregate amount of approximately $32.2 million made by Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), a chapter 11 debtor in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas (the “Court”), pursuant to that certain Bridge Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2022 between Sorrento and BRCC, are avoidable as preferential transfers (the “Alleged Preferences”). On June 16, 2025, the liquidating trustee (the “Trustee”) on behalf of the Sorrento Liquidating Trust filed a complaint with the Court in an adversary proceeding seeking to avoid and recover the Alleged Preferences. On September 12, 2025, the Court denied BRCC’s motion to dismiss. The Company believes that the liquidating trustee’s claims lack merit and intends to continue to assert its statutory defenses to defeat such claims.

In light of the significant factual issues to be resolved with respect to the asserted claims and other proceedings described above and uncertainties regarding unasserted claims described above, at the present time reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated with respect to the asserted and unasserted claims described in the preceding paragraphs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. A detailed discussion of our risk factors was included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

If we are unable to satisfy the applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our securities could be delisted.

108

---

Our shares of common stock and preferred stock, and our senior notes (collectively, our “Securities”) are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Generally, among other requirements, we must timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

On November 21, 2025, the Company received a Staff Determination Letter (the “November Determination Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) based on the Company's non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”), as previously notified by the Staff on April 3, 2025, May 21, 2025, August 20, 2025 and October 1, 2025 (together, the “Prior Determination Letters”). The basis for the Prior Determination Letters was that the Company had not yet filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 (the “Q1 Report”) and June 30, 2025 (the “Q2 Report”) with the SEC. The Company filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 on September 19, 2025 and its Q1 Report on November 18, 2025. The basis for the November Determination Letter was that the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 (the “Q3 Report”).

The Prior Determination Letter received on October 1, 2025 noted that, after the Staff’s review of the materials submitted by the Company on September 4, 2025 and September 19, 2025 (the “Updated Plan of Compliance”), it lacked the discretion within Nasdaq’s rules to grant the Company a further exception beyond the September 29, 2025 deadline that was previously granted to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The November Determination Letter and Prior Determination Letters did not result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities.

The Staff Determination Letter notified the Company that it may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company timely submitted a request for a hearing on October 8, 2025, including continued listing of its securities pending the hearing and the Hearings Panel’s decision. A hearing before the Hearings Panel was held on November 4, 2025. On November 18, 2025, the Company received written notification (the “Decision Letter”) from the Hearings Panel notifying the Company of its decision to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s meeting certain conditions outlined in the Decision Letter. In the Decision Letter, the Hearings Advisor noted that the Hearings Panel reviewed the information presented by the Company, detailing the compliance plan proposed by the Company, as well as all other correspondence previously submitted by the Company and the Staff. The Hearings Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to filing with the SEC on or before (i) November 21, 2025, the Q1 Report, (ii) December 23, 2025, the Q2 Report, and (iii) January 20, 2026, the Q3 Report.

The Company filed with the SEC the Q1 Report on November 18, 2025 and this Q2 Report on the filing date hereof. The Company anticipates filing its Q3 Report with the SEC by no later than January 20, 2026 (in accordance with the Decision Letter). The Decision Letter also noted that, should the Company miss any such deadline, the Hearings Panel will delist the Company’s securities from the Exchange. The Hearings Panel also made it a requirement during the exception period that the Company provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements. In addition, the Decision Letter advised that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) may, on its own motion, determine to review any Hearings Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review this Decision Letter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Hearings Panel. As of the date of filing of this Q2 Report, the Company has received no communication from the Listing Council.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the Q3 Report timely or meet other Nasdaq continued listing requirements in the future.

If Nasdaq delists our Securities from trading on its exchange, we expect our Securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•limited availability of market quotations for our Securities;

•reduced liquidity for our Securities;

•a determination that our shares of common and/or preferred stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Securities to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There have been no sales of unregistered securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, except as set forth below:

On April 7, 2025, the Company issued exchange warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase 39,968 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, in connection with a private exchange transaction in which certain of the Company’s senior notes held by an investor were exchanged for New Notes.

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2025, the Company issued Exchange Warrants to purchase 372,268 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, in connection with a private exchange transaction in which certain of the Company’s senior notes held by an investor were exchanged for New Notes.

As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, the Company issued Exchange Warrants to purchase 52,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, in connection with a private exchange transaction in which certain of the Company’s senior notes held by an investor were exchanged for New Notes.

The Exchange Warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions and upon exercise, the holders of the Exchange Warrants are entitled to dividends and distributions as if the Exchange Warrants had been exercised in full prior to the dividend or distribution date.

The Exchange Warrants were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as the transactions did not involve any public offering.

No underwriters were engaged in connection with these issuances, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. The Exchange Warrants contain restrictions on transfer and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

Certain of our officers have made elections to participate in, and are participating in, our employee stock purchase plan and 401(k) plan and have made, and may from time to time make, elections to have shares withheld upon the vesting of restricted stock units to cover withholding taxes, which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or may constitute non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K). As of the date of this filing, none of the Company’s officers or directors has implemented a 10b5-1 trading plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment (including, without limitation, in the recitals to this Amendment) without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2.Amendment of Post-Closing Deliverables. Effective as of March 7, 2025, Section 6.02(l) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and supplemented by amending and restating clause (6) thereof as follows (deleted text is indicated by strikethrough formatting; added text is indicated in bold, italicized and underscored type):    

    “(6)     within one hundred thirteen (113) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, evidence     that magicJack LP, magicJack SMB, Inc., Lingo Communications of Kentucky, LLC, Lingo     Telecom, LLC, and Marconi Wireless Holdings, LLC are each duly qualified and is licensed and,     as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of each foreign jurisdiction where its     ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification     or license, to the extent such evidence is not provided on or before the Restatement Closing     Date;”    

3.Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall be effective on the First Amendment Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i)This Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall have received this Amendment, duly executed by the Borrowers, the Secured Guarantors, and the Lenders;

---

(iii)Expenses. The Administrative Agent shall have received payment from the Borrowers of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Buchalter, P.C., outside counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment, to the extent invoiced on or before the First Amendment Effective Date;

(iv)Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in Article II and Article V of the Credit Agreement and in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except (i) that for purposes of this Section 3(iv), the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.05(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, respectively; and (ii) to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; and

(v)Default. No Default shall exist.

4.Reaffirmation and Ratification. The Borrowers and the Secured Guarantors hereby reaffirm, ratify and confirm the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, remain in full force and effect.

5.Integration. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties and negotiations regarding the subject matter hereof, if any, are merged into this Amendment.

6.Acknowledgement of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Borrowers have satisfied their obligations under clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6) of Section 6.02(l) of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. This acknowledgment shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given, and shall not entitle Borrowers to any other or further acknowledgment in any similar or other circumstance.

7.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Amendment and of executed signature pages by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”), or by a combination of such means, will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Amendment as to the parties and may be used in lieu of an original Amendment for all purposes. Banc of California may also execute this Amendment by electronic signature, whether digital or encrypted, which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature. Without limitation, “electronic signature” shall include DocuSign signature, faxed or emailed versions of an original signature or electronically scanned and transmitted versions of an original signature, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity, or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the California Uniform Electronic Transaction Act any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary. The parties may deliver executed copies of the documents required by Section 3 to the Administrative Agent on the First Amendment Effective Date. The parties shall deliver the originals of such documents to the Administrative Agent no later than thirty (30) days after the First Amendment Effective Date.

8.Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law principles) of the State of California.

After giving effect to each requested Term Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c)Each Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below, provided that no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3Term Loan.

---

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) quarterly installments each in the amount of $1,400,000.00 commencing December 31, 2022 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter period (which, for the sake of clarity, is December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (i) shall apply.

2.4Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request

-89-

---

or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the

-91-

---

extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian Collateral True-up.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount.

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers

-92-

---

shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to $12,500,000.

2.8Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent

-93-

---

shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn

-94-

---

upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any

-96-

---

Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments

-97-

made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(xii)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the obligations of Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.19Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any

-99-

---

conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction in Commitments.

(a)Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances at any time in whole or in part. Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the

-100-

---

Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of $5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $70,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section 9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be

-101-

---

implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(i), 2.20(b)(ii) and 2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

2.21Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any

-102-

---

principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(i)fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

-103-

---

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iii)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

-104-

---

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage,

-105-

---

Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of

-106-

---

such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3Fees.

(a)Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (1) the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated) or (2) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be

-107-

---

impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00 per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,500 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $1,500 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion, then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

-108-

---

3.6Maximum Charges.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to such Loan Party.

3.7Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of

-109-

---

Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, within five (5) Business Days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer notifies the Borrowers in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of such Agent's, Swing Loan Lender's, Lender's or Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.8Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1.Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(i)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(ii)deposits in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable; or

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

-110-

---

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent,

(v)then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2 hereof applies, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan and any such requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be made as an RFR Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of the applicable Term Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan, RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, an RFR Loan or an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan into an affected type of Term Rate Loan.

3.8.2.Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

(b)            (1)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an "Other Document" for purposes of this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting"), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2), (3), or (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after

-111-

---

5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of objection to (i) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (2) or (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", such Benchmark Replacement.

(c)            (2)    (2)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Currency, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that this clause (2) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

(d)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.

(e)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(f)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information

-112-

---

service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(g)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, as applicable, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such interest rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Advances bearing interest as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(h)Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting":

"Available Tenor" shall mean, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark for such Currency is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) for such Currency that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for the Daily Simple RFR is one month.

"Benchmark" shall mean, initially, with respect to Obligations, interest, fees, commissions, or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to, (a) Dollars, the Term SOFR Rate, (b) Euros, Sterling or Swiss Francs, the Daily Simple RFR applicable for such Currency, or (c) Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, the Eurocurrency Rate applicable for such Currency; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark or upon the occurrence of a Term RFR Transition Event, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark

-113-

---

Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

"Benchmark Replacement" shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)    Where the Benchmark is Term SOFR, the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment for a 1-month Interest Period; and

(2)    Where the Benchmark is EURIBOR,

    (I)    the sum of (A) Term RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

    (II)    the sum of: (A) Daily RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3)    [Reserved];

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Parties (a) shall furnish to the Agent a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in respect of the creation of a valid security interest and perfection thereof in each province or territory of Canada (other than Ontario) at such time that the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) in any such province or territory of Canada exceeds $500,000, and (b) shall not be obligated to enter into or otherwise deliver to the Agent any security agreements or deeds of hypothec in the Province of Quebec, Canada until such time as the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) within the Province of Quebec exceeds $500,000, and at such time the Loan Parties shall enter into and deliver, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period reasonably acceptable to the Agent) of exceeding the foregoing threshold, such security agreements, deeds of hypothec and associated registrations, corporate authorizations and opinions as the Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

4.3Preservation of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Loan Party's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party's owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Loan Party's owned or leased property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct to the extent such actions would could not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of Applicable Law. All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, and added to the Obligations.

4.4Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security interest each Loan Party shall have rights in and be fully authorized and able to grant to Agent a security interest in its Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i); (ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person's assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party and (B) the chief executive office of each Loan Party or location from which such Loan Party manages the main part of its business operations or other affairs; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords.

4.5Defense of Agent's and Lenders' Interests. Until Payment in Full, Agent's interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect except as set forth in Section 14.15. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent's interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA or other Applicable Law. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option (and upon written request from Agent, each Loan Party shall), instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Loan Party's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent's trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times during regular business hours of the Loan Parties and upon reasonable prior written notice, Agent (who may be accompanied by any Lender at such Lender's own cost) shall have the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, no Loan Party will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or nonfinancial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives, investment bankers, consultants, accountants, or lawyers) is prohibited by law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided that Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent if information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence to the extent such notice would not itself be prohibited by law or binding agreement, or reasonably be likely to compromise such attorney-client privilege or the privilege afforded to attorney work product.

4.7Appraisals. Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Party's assets. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any such firm. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges incurred by Agent in respect of any such appraisal; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred during a calendar year, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) appraisal of the Inventory in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) appraisals of Inventory in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for appraisals of Inventory conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

4.8Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)Each of the Receivables constituting Collateral shall in all material respects be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect

-126-

---

to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(b)The Borrowers represent and warrant, as of the date set forth on the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, that each Receivable shown as an Eligible Receivable on such Borrowing Base Certificate is an Eligible Receivable and satisfies all eligibility criteria with respect thereto as of such date.

(c)Each Loan Party's chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d)Loan Parties shall, within the time period required by Section 6.16, instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Blocked Account(s), Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes), and/or deposit accounts subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent, or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent. In the case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company, such deposit account(s) (each a "U.K. Collection Account") shall (i) be located in England, (ii) only contain the proceeds of Receivables of that U.K. Borrowing Base Company and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, not be used for general payment purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect in trust for Agent all amounts received on such Receivables, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s), Depository Account(s) and/or deposit account(s). During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, each Loan Party shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon written request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the date of receipt thereof, all remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, wires, checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness in respect of such Receivables.

(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables constituting Collateral to any and all Customers or any third party holding any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables constituting the Collateral, take possession of the Collateral, or both.

(f)Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables constituting Collateral, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Loan Party's attorney with power at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (A) to endorse such Loan Party's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment of Collateral; (B) to sign such Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables constituting Collateral, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral; (C) to send

-127-

---

verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral to any Customer; (D) to sign such Loan Party's name on any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (E) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; (F) to demand payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (G) to enforce payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise; (H) to exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables constituting Collateral and any other Collateral; (I) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables constituting Collateral; (J) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables constituting Collateral; (K) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on a claim or proof of claim in bankruptcy or insolvency or similar document against any Customer; (L) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables constituting Collateral; (M) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (N) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate; and (O) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by such Agent or Lender.

(h)Subject to and except as provided in Section 6.16, all cash proceeds of Collateral at any time received by any Loan Party shall promptly be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank") pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds or (iii) in the case of Loan Parties that are not U.S. Loan Parties, deposit accounts that are subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent (provided, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.8, so long as the aggregate amount of cash maintained in bank accounts in Australia does not exceed $4,000,000, the Loan Parties shall only be required to use best efforts for an agreed period of time to enter into account control agreements with respect to bank accounts in Australia). Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall, subject to Section 6.16 and within the time periods required thereby, enter into a deposit account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any

-128-

Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary or in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

(j)All deposit accounts (including Excluded Deposit Accounts, all Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, and (ii)  each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account.

4.9Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder (but only to the extent such legislation, rules, regulations and orders apply to such Loan Party).

4.10Maintenance of Equipment. The equipment of the Loan Parties shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such equipment shall be maintained and preserved, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to

-129-

---

Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

XI.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose

-153-

---

the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent

-154-

---

in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

11.4Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not

-155-

---

preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5Allocation of Payments During the Continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of each of the Lenders to the extent owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the Swing Loans;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of Swing Loans;

SIXTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the Other Documents consisting of accrued fees and interest (other than interest in respect of (i) Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above and (ii) FILO Advances to be paid pursuant to clause EIGHTH below);

SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (other than principal in respect of (i) Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FIFTH above, (ii) FILO Advances to be paid pursuant to clause NINTH below, and other than Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) arising under this Agreement (including the payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof).

EIGHTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the FILO Advances;

NINTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of FILO Advances;

ELEVENTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses "FIRST" through "TENTH"; and

TWELFTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrowers and any other Person that may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses "EIGHTH", "NINTH", "TENTH" and "ELEVENTH" above; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party's Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Borrowers and/or Guarantors that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 11.5; and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause "NINTH" above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Agent as cash collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses "NINTH," "TENTH", and "ELEVENTH" above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.

XII.WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers' Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until Payment in Full or each Borrower has furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Borrower waives any rights which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA to demand the filing of termination and/or discharge statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination and/or discharge statements to each Borrower, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until Payment in Full. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until Payment in Full.

XIV.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.4 the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent's discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements,

-158-

---

representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement,

-159-

including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

14.9Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other

-160-

consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time within the time periods required under this Agreement all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Law.

14.13Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the

A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.14(b),

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such

-162-

---

Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Other Document.

-163-

Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that such property that had previously been Collateral has become Excluded Property pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereby (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry)), (vi) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Borrower or Guarantor, upon release of such Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, or (vii) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 14.15; and (2) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and any Other Document in its capacity as a Borrower or Guarantor thereunder, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (A) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law), (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to a disposition of such Collateral consented to by Required Lenders), all of the Lenders or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.15; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale of Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

-164-

14.16Field Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field examination report respecting any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries (each, a "Report") prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b)expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c)expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties' and their Subsidiaries' books and records, as well as on representations of Loan Parties' personnel,

(e)without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Loan Parties, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

(f)In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by such

---

Loan Party or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of this Agreement or any Other Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrowers the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding the Borrowers' Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

14.17Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Other Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Revolving Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Revolving Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its participants of any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any participant of any other Lender.

14.18Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Party that provides Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges (each a "Bank Product Provider") in its capacity as such shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the Other Documents for purposes of any reference in this Agreement or any Other Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Provider and, by virtue of entering into an agreement or arrangement to provide Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under this Agreement and the Other Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider's being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into an agreement or arrangement to provide Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Cash Management Liabilities, Interest Rate Hedge Liabilities and Foreign Currency Hedge Liabilities and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Other Document, no provider or holder of any Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the Other Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any Borrowers or Guarantors.

(c)All Obligations of the Loan Parties shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower's Obligations or the lack thereof.

(d)In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to

-178-

---

assign its interest in the Advances to Agent or to another Lender or, with the consent of Agent, to any other Person designated by Borrowing Agent (the "Designated Lender"), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or, with the consent of Agent, the Borrowing Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent, or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, Borrowing Agent and Agent.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of

-179-

---

Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law.  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

-180-

---

all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any

-181-

---

portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4Application of Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iii) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of proceeds therefrom or (v) any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances; in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (y) a claim brought against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party's obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, or (z) claims among Indemnified Parties not involving an act or omission by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates. All amounts due under this Section 16.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

16.8Severability.

16.9Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent

16.10Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefor, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.11Consequential Damages. Each Loan Party and each Indemnified Party agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives any claim against each other for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Borrower of the applicable request for disclosure of Information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been terminated. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all non-public information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, each Lender and each Transferee on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by the Australian PPSA, the parties agree to keep all information of the kind mentioned by Section 275(1) of the Australian PPSA confidential and not to disclose that information to any other person. To the extent Section 275 of the Australian PPSA requires the Australian Security Trustee to respond to a request for information, the parties to this Agreement agree that the terms of the Australian PPS Security Interest provided under an Australian Security Document are contained wholly in that Other Document.

16.16Publicity. Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such advertising, print media and promotional materials (including, without limitation, on any of the Agent's websites) and to such selected parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate.

16.17Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

In the event a QFC Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a QFC Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the this Agreement and the Other Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such QFC Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Other Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 16.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

"BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under of the Other Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Secured Party and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Secured Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any

Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and

Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty,

regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent

nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3 Term Loan.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each

Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) quarterly installments each in the amount of $1,400,000.00 commencing December 31, 2022 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter period (which, for the sake of clarity, is December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through

(i) shall apply.

2.4 Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in

order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance

or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence

of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to

-92-

---

fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds.    All Advances shall be disbursed from

whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6 Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be

advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a

Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance

-93-

---

and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing,

by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a

"Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving

-94-

---

Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time

receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7 Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian

Collateral True-up.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans

outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount.

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not

exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

-95-

---

(c)Without    limiting    the    foregoing,    and    independent    of    any true-up

requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without    limiting    the    foregoing,    and    independent    of    any true-up

requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to

$12,500,000.

2.8 Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term

subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving

-96-

---

Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes,

drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder,

or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments)

to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9 Repayment of Excess Advances.    If at any time the aggregate balance of

outstanding Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary

procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and

-97-

---

binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11 Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the

issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus

(ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be

under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue

or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of

-98-

---

Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the

payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by

Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the

applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued

by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law,

-99-

---

except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender

holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the

beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice

pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after

-100-

---

the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a

Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the

Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of

immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a

trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments

-101-

---

made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16 Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of

Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any

request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each

Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which

such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in

connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any

Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or

forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation

of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any

Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter

of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party

the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with

respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

and be continuing;

2.19 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and

Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its

Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon

-105-

---

receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific

provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction in Commitments.

(a)Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances at

any time in whole or in part. Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of

$5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $70,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023,

Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving

-106-

---

Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section

9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any

Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any

of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection

with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each    prepayment    pursuant    to    Sections    2.20(b)(i),    2.20(b)(ii)    and

2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving

-107-

---

Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

2.21 Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain

existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the

Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22 Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event

any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22,

Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii) fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

-108-

---

(iii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or

drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the

outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or

can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such

Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the

Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E)if    all    or    any    portion    of    such    Defaulting    Lender's

Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

-109-

---

(iv)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a

Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or

to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and

obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in

writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender

holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase

-110-

---

any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23 Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving

Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business

Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or

-111-

---

decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage, Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders

holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an

Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of

-112-

---

any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

-113-

3.3

Fees.

(a)

Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid

balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

-114-

---

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if

(1)the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated) or (2) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in

the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4 Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00

per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice

therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by

-115-

---

Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,500 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $1,500 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion, then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to two

(2)field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed

on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

3.6 Maximum Charges.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder

exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan

Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to

-116-

---

any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any

Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to such Loan Party.

3.7 Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or

compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any

kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,

assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other

condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

-117-

---

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, within five (5) Business Days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer notifies the Borrowers in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of such Agent's, Swing Loan Lender's, Lender's or Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.8 Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1 Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall

have determined that:

(i)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR

Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(ii)deposits in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the relevant

amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable; or

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has

been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to

such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent,

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination.    If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined

-118-

---

below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2 hereof applies, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan and any such requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be made as an RFR Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of the applicable Term Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan, RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, an RFR Loan or an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan into an affected type of Term Rate Loan.

3.8.2 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other

Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an "Other Document" for purposes of this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting"), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2), (3), or (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of objection to (i) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (2) or (3) of the definition of "Benchmark

-119-

---

Replacement", the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", such Benchmark Replacement.

(2)(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Currency, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that this clause (2) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the

use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will

promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary herein or in any Other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark

-120-

---

is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice

of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, as applicable, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such interest rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Advances bearing interest as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(f)Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting":

"Available Tenor" shall mean, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark for such Currency is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) for such Currency that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause

(iv) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for the Daily Simple RFR is one month.

"Benchmark" shall mean, initially, with respect to Obligations, interest, fees, commissions, or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to, (a) Dollars, the Term SOFR Rate, (b) Euros, Sterling or Swiss Francs, the Daily Simple RFR applicable for such Currency, or (c) Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, the Eurocurrency Rate applicable for such Currency; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark or upon the occurrence of a Term RFR

-121-

---

Transition Event, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

"Benchmark Replacement" shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)Where the Benchmark is Term SOFR, the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment for a 1-month Interest Period; and

(2)Where the Benchmark is EURIBOR,

(I)the sum of (A) Term RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

(II)the sum of: (A) Daily RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3)[Reserved];

to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

-133-

---

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.10(o) to any party shall, at any time

when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the applicable grouping rules (as provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) or in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under

this Agreement or any Other Document, if reasonably requested by the Recipient, such party must promptly provide the Recipient with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

contesting any Indemnified Taxes imposed by the U.K. or Australia for which indemnification has been demanded or additional amounts have been payable hereunder, the relevant Lender or the relevant Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Loan Party in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Loan Party; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantaged by cooperating in such challenge,

(ii) the Loan Party pays all related expenses of such Agent or Lender, (iii) the Loan Party indemnifies such Lender or Agent for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge and (iv) the Loan Party indemnifies such Agent or Lender, as applicable, for any Indemnified Taxes before any such contest. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 3.10(f).

(q)Determination. Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Section 3.10 a

reference to determines or determined means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the Person making the determination.

(r)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the

resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Swing Loan Lender or a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain Term Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent

By its signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Loan Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as "all assets" and/or "all personal property" of any Loan Party).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Parties (a) shall furnish to the Agent a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in respect of the creation of a valid security interest and perfection thereof in each province or territory of Canada (other than Ontario) at such time that the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) in any such province or territory of Canada exceeds $500,000, and (b) shall not be obligated to enter into or otherwise deliver to the Agent any security agreements or deeds of hypothec in the Province of Quebec, Canada until such time as the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) within the Province of Quebec exceeds

$500,000, and at such time the Loan Parties shall enter into and deliver, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period reasonably acceptable to the Agent) of exceeding the foregoing threshold, such security agreements, deeds of hypothec and associated registrations, corporate authorizations and opinions as the Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

4.3 Preservation of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an

Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent:

(a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Loan Party's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party's owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Loan Party's owned or leased property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct to the extent such actions would could not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of Applicable Law. All charges, expenses and fees Agent may

incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, and added to the Obligations.

4.4 Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to

Agent's security interest each Loan Party shall have rights in and be fully authorized and able to grant to Agent a security interest in its Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory (except

for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i);

(ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person's assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party and (B) the chief executive office of each Loan Party or location from which such Loan Party manages the main part of its business operations or other affairs; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords.

4.5 Defense of Agent's and Lenders' Interests. Until Payment in Full, Agent's interests

in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect except as set forth in Section 14.15. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent's interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA or other Applicable Law. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option (and upon written request from Agent, each Loan Party shall), instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Loan Party's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent's trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6 Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times during regular business hours of

the Loan Parties and upon reasonable prior written notice, Agent (who may be accompanied by any Lender at such Lender's own cost) shall have the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, no Loan Party will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or nonfinancial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives, investment bankers, consultants, accountants, or lawyers) is prohibited by law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided that Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent if information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence to the extent such notice would not itself be prohibited by law or binding agreement, or reasonably be likely to compromise such attorney-client privilege or the privilege afforded to attorney work product.

4.7 Appraisals.    Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially

reasonable manner, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Party's assets. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any such firm. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges incurred by Agent in respect of any such appraisal; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred during a calendar year, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) appraisal of the Inventory in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) appraisals of Inventory in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for appraisals of Inventory conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

4.8 Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)Each of the Receivables constituting Collateral shall in all material

respects be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(c)Each Loan Party's chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule

4.4. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d)Loan Parties shall, within the time period required by Section 6.16,

instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Blocked Account(s), Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes), and/or deposit accounts subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent, or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent. In the case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company, such deposit account(s) (each a "U.K. Collection Account") shall (i) be located in England, (ii) only contain the proceeds of Receivables of that U.K. Borrowing Base Company and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, not be used for general payment purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect in trust for Agent all amounts received on such Receivables, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s), Depository Account(s) and/or deposit account(s). During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, each Loan Party shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon written request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the date of receipt thereof, all remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, wires, checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness in respect of such Receivables.

(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an

Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables constituting Collateral to any and all Customers or any third party holding any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables constituting the Collateral, take possession of the Collateral, or both.

(f)Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the

name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables constituting Collateral, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Loan Party's attorney with power at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; (F) to demand payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (G) to enforce payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise; (H) to exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables constituting Collateral and any other Collateral; (I) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables constituting Collateral; (J) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables constituting Collateral; (K) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on a claim or proof of claim in bankruptcy or insolvency or similar document against any Customer; (L) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables constituting Collateral; (M) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (N) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate; and (O) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any

event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by such Agent or Lender.

(h)Subject to and except as provided in Section 6.16, all cash proceeds of

Collateral at any time received by any Loan Party shall promptly be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank") pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds or (iii) in the case of Loan Parties that are not U.S. Loan Parties, deposit accounts that are subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent (provided, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.8, so long as the aggregate amount of cash maintained in bank accounts in Australia does not exceed $4,000,000, the Loan Parties shall only be required to use best efforts for an agreed period of time to enter into account control agreements with respect to bank accounts in Australia). Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall, subject to Section 6.16 and within the time periods required thereby, enter into a deposit account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank

-140-

---

to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any

material amount of any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary or in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

(j)All deposit accounts (including Excluded Deposit Accounts, all Blocked

Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, and (ii) each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account.

4.9 Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any

Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder (but only to the extent such legislation, rules, regulations and orders apply to such Loan Party).

4.10 Maintenance of Equipment.    The equipment of the Loan Parties shall be

maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such equipment shall be maintained and preserved, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Exculpation of Liability.    Nothing herein contained shall be construed to

constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or

-141-

---

destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12 ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this

Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

XI.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1 Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of

Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral

-172-

---

shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise

remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature;

(viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default,

Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her,

-173-

---

any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2 Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine

which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3 Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or

any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

11.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and

remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5 Allocation of Payments During the Continuance of an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document;

11.5; and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause "NINTH" above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Agent as cash collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses "NINTH," "TENTH", and "ELEVENTH" above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.

XII.WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.1 Waiver of Notice. Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any

of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or

any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days

written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case where the

-178-

---

successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with

respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,

upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the

occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the

-179-

---

Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8 Indemnification.    To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by

Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

14.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend

under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10 Delivery of Documents.    To the extent Agent receives financial statements

required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11 Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent.    Without prejudice to their respective

obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time within the time periods required under this Agreement all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

-180-

---

14.12 No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program.    To the extent the

Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Law.

14.13 Other Agreements.    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the

express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who

has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules

-181-

---

on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuer or

Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error

shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any

other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.14(b),

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set

off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not

recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the

-182-

---

Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,

repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall

assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the

resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Other Document.

14.15 Collateral Matters.

(a)The Secured Parties (including Agent, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, and

each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as holders of Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following (and each such Person agrees and consents to the same): (1) to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full, (ii) in

connection with any Permitted Disposition (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon

-183-

---

request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that the transaction is a Permitted Disposition (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),

(iii) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned any interest at the time Agent's Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, (v) upon any property that had previously been Collateral becoming Excluded Property (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that such property that had previously been Collateral has become Excluded Property pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereby (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry)), (vi) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Borrower or Guarantor, upon release of such Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, or (vii) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 14.15; and (2) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and any Other Document in its capacity as a Borrower or Guarantor thereunder, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (A) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law), (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.

-184-

Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to a disposition of such Collateral consented to by Required Lenders), all of the Lenders or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.15; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale of Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b)Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to

verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

14.16 Field Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other

Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly

(b)expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any

representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

-185-

---

(d)agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information

regarding the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 16.15, and

(e)without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision

contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Loan Parties, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of this Agreement or any Other Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrowers the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding the Borrowers' Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

14.17 Several Obligations; No Liability.    Notwithstanding that certain of the Other

Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Revolving Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Revolving Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its participants of any matters relating to this Agreement

-186-

14.18 Bank Product Providers.    Each Secured Party that provides Cash Management

Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges (each a "Bank Product Provider") in its capacity as such shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the Other Documents for purposes of any reference in this Agreement or any Other Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Provider and, by virtue of entering into an agreement or arrangement to provide Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under this Agreement and the Other Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider's being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into an agreement or arrangement to provide Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Cash Management Liabilities, Interest Rate Hedge Liabilities and Foreign Currency Hedge Liabilities and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Other Document, no provider or holder of any Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the Other Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any Borrowers or Guarantors.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii)

that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as

-202-

---

applicable; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving

Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan

Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial

banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law. 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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may

be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the

-204-

---

time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer

Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and

any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

-205-

---

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any

Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4 Application of Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or

Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5 Indemnity.    Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save

harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iii) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of proceeds therefrom or (v) any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances; in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (y) a claim brought against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party's obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, or (z) claims among Indemnified Parties not involving an act or omission by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

16.9 Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket

expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) in connection with collection hereunder or the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Agent's regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of any Loan Party's books, records and business properties, solely to the extent reimbursable under Section 3.4(b) or Section 4.7.

appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such advertising, print media and promotional materials (including, without limitation, on any of the Agent's websites) and to such selected parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate.

16.17 Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated

under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

16.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Other

Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Other Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a QFC Covered Entity (as defined below) that is party to a

Supported QFC (each, a "QFC Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such QFC Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a QFC Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a QFC Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the this Agreement and the Other Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such QFC Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Other Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 16.19, the following terms have the following

meanings:

"BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

"QFC Covered Entity" shall mean any of the following:

(i)a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

-213-

---

(ii)a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iv)    a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in

accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

16.20 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is

necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any Other Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under of the Other Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

16.21 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime

Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, "AML Legislation"), the Secured Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any

authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured

Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Secured Party and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

-214-

---

(ii)shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information

obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may

otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Secured Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

WHEREAS, Borrowers have advised Agent and Lenders that a Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement, which would, upon the expiration of the applicable Equity Cure Grace Period and failure of the Borrowers to exercise their Cure Right, result in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.5(i) of the Credit Agreement as a result of Borrowers' failure to maintain the minimum EBITDA required by Section 6.5(b) of the Credit Agreement for the period ended December 31, 2023 (such Default and potential Event of Default, the "Specified Default");

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders waive the Specified Default and amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein, and Agent and Lenders have so agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Agent may establish Reserves from time to time in its Permitted Discretion upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Borrowing Agent (other than Reserves established to account for clerical or mathematical errors, which may be established without any such prior notice); provided, that if the implementation of any such Reserve would result in an overadvance after giving effect to any requested Advance, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make such Advance during such three (3) Business Day period and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to rescind such request for Advance without penalty during such period.

2.2 Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances and FILO Advances; Deemed Advance Events; Procedures for Selection of Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.

(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day of a Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance hereunder; provided, that, four (4) Business Days prior notice shall be required for any request for an advance in Sterling, Euros, Australian Dollars, Swiss Franc and Hong Kong Dollars (it being understood that Agent and Lenders shall use best efforts to make any such advance in such Currency available to Borrowers as promptly as practicable following any such request). Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other expenses or charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement or the Other Documents, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge, expense or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, no further FILO Advances shall be permitted to be made, or remain outstanding, on and after the Second Amendment Closing Date.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Term Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Term SOFR Rate Loan is to be borrowed and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),

(ii) the type of borrowing and the Currency and amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Term Rate Loans shall be for one- or three-months; provided that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no Term Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower. After giving effect to each requested Term Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c)Each Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below, provided that no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

-93-

---

(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3 Term Loan.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) one installment in the amount of $1,400,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and, thereafter, quarterly installments each in the amount of $1,400,000.002,100,000.00 commencing December 31, 2022September 30, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter

period (which, for the sake of clarity, is December 31, March 31, June 30 and, September 30, and December 31) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (i) shall apply.

2.4 Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in

-96-

---

Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5     Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6     Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan

-97-

---

shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving

-98-

---

Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender

-99-

---

in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7 Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian Collateral True-up.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Availability Block and Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount (less the Availability Block).

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that,

-100-

after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to

$12,500,000.

2.8 Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other

-101-

---

amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9 Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11 Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus

(ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

-102-

---

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12    Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance

maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of

-105-

---

Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16 Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the

-106-

---

requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of

-107-

---

documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party

thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with

respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(xii)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred

and be continuing;

(xiii)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.19 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute

-108-

---

between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction in Commitments.

(a)Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances at any time in whole or in part. Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of $5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $70,000,00045,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section

9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have

-110-

---

occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(i), 2.20(b)(ii) and 2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

2.21 Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use

-111-

---

any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22 Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(iii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

-112-

---

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and

-113-

---

the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23 Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked

-114-

---

Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans,(iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage, Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and

-116-

---

maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3 Fees.

(a)Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if

(1) the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated) or, (2) any portion of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with the prepayment contemplated by Section 6.19 and the related keepwell agreement, or (3) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the

-117-

---

benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so permanently reduced, paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4 Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00 per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,5001,750 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $1,5002,000 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion,

-118-

---

then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than onetwo (12) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to twothree (23) field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

3.6 Maximum Charges.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may

-119-

---

be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to such Loan Party.

3.7    Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, within five (5) Business Days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing

-120-

---

Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer notifies the Borrowers in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of such Agent's, Swing Loan Lender's, Lender's or Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.8 Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1. Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(i)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(ii)deposits in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable; or

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent, then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2 hereof applies, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan and any such requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be made as an RFR Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of the applicable Term Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan, RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the

-121-

---

proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, an RFR Loan or an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan into an affected type of Term Rate Loan.

3.8.2. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an "Other Document" for purposes of this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting"), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2), (3), or (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of objection to (i) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (2) or (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", such Benchmark Replacement.

(2)(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Currency,

-122-

---

then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that this clause (2) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest

-123-

---

Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, as applicable, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such interest rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Advances bearing interest as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(f)Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting":

"Available Tenor" shall mean, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark for such Currency is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) for such Currency that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause

(iv) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for the Daily Simple RFR is one month.

"Benchmark" shall mean, initially, with respect to Obligations, interest, fees, commissions, or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to, (a) Dollars, the Term SOFR Rate, (b) Euros, Sterling or Swiss Francs, the Daily Simple RFR applicable for such Currency, or (c) Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, the Eurocurrency Rate applicable for such Currency; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark or upon the occurrence of a Term RFR Transition Event, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

-124-

---

"Benchmark Replacement" shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)Where the Benchmark is Term SOFR, the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment for a 1-month Interest Period; and

(2)Where the Benchmark is EURIBOR,

(I)the sum of (A) Term RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

(II)the sum of: (A) Daily RFR for €STR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3)[Reserved];

(4)the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrowing Agent, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided, that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (2) or (4) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the Other Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.

"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" shall mean, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement , the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrowing Agent, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time.

-125-

"Benchmark Replacement Date" shall mean a date and time determined by the Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency:

(1)in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

---

(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the applicable Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Loan Party under this Section 3.10(f) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. This Section 3.10(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person or to pay any amount the payment of which would place such Person and its Affiliates in a less favorable net after-Tax position than they 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.

(g)The Borrowing Agent shall, promptly upon becoming aware that a U.K. Loan Party must make a Tax Deduction for Taxes imposed by the U.K. (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.

U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.10(o) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the applicable grouping rules (as provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) or in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under this Agreement or any Other Document, if reasonably requested by the Recipient, such party must promptly provide the Recipient with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct to the extent such actions would could not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of Applicable Law. All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, and added to the Obligations.

4.4 Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security interest each Loan Party shall have rights in and be fully authorized and able to grant to Agent a security interest in its Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i); (ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person's assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party and (B) the chief executive office of each Loan Party or location from which such Loan Party manages the main part of its business operations or other affairs; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords.

At any time following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the

-138-

---

best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA or other Applicable Law. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option (and upon written request from Agent, each Loan Party shall), instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Loan Party's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent's trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6 Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times during regular business hours of the Loan Parties and upon reasonable prior written notice, Agent (who may be accompanied by any Lender at such Lender's own cost) shall have the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, no Loan Party will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or nonfinancial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives, investment bankers, consultants, accountants, or lawyers) is prohibited by law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided that Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent if information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence to the extent such notice would not itself be prohibited by law or binding agreement, or reasonably be likely to compromise such attorney-client privilege or the privilege afforded to attorney work product.

4.7    Appraisals. Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Party's assets. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any such firm. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges incurred by Agent in respect of any such appraisal; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred during a calendar year, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) appraisal of the Inventory in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) appraisals of Inventory in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for appraisals of Inventory conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

4.8    Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)Each of the Receivables constituting Collateral shall in all material respects be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the

-139-

---

Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(b)The Borrowers represent and warrant, as of the date set forth on the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, that each Receivable shown as an Eligible Receivable on such Borrowing Base Certificate is an Eligible Receivable and satisfies all eligibility criteria with respect thereto as of such date.

(c)Each Loan Party's chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

In the case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company, such deposit account(s) (each a "U.K. Collection Account") shall (i) be located in England, (ii) only contain the proceeds of Receivables of that U.K. Borrowing Base Company and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, not be used for general payment purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect in trust for Agent all amounts received on such Receivables, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s), Depository Account(s) and/or deposit account(s). During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, each Loan Party shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon written request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the date of receipt thereof, all remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, wires, checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness in respect of such Receivables.

(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables constituting Collateral to any and all Customers or any third party holding any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables constituting the Collateral, take possession of the Collateral, or both.

-140-

(f)Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables constituting Collateral, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Loan Party's attorney with power at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(A) to endorse such Loan Party's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment of Collateral; (B) to sign such Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables constituting Collateral, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral; (C) to send verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral to any Customer; (D) to sign such Loan Party's name on any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (E) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; (F) to demand payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (G) to enforce payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise; (H) to exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables constituting Collateral and any other Collateral; (I) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables constituting Collateral; (J) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables constituting Collateral;

(K) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on a claim or proof of claim in bankruptcy or insolvency or similar document against any Customer; (L) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables constituting Collateral; (M) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (N) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate; and (O) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by such Agent or Lender.

(h)Subject to and except as provided in Section 6.16, all cash proceeds of Collateral at any time received by any Loan Party shall promptly be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank") pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its

-141-

---

Permitted Discretion, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds or (iii) in the case of Loan Parties that are not U.S. Loan Parties, deposit accounts that are subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent (provided, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.8, so long as the aggregate amount of cash maintained in bank accounts in Australia does not exceed $4,000,000, the Loan Parties shall only be required to use best efforts for an agreed period of time to enter into account control agreements with respect to bank accounts in Australia). Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall, subject to Section 6.16 and within the time periods required thereby, enter into a deposit account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary or in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

(j)All deposit accounts (including Excluded Deposit Accounts, all Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, and (ii) each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account.

4.9 Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules,

-142-

---

regulations and orders thereunder (but only to the extent such legislation, rules, regulations and orders apply to such Loan Party).

4.10    Maintenance of Equipment. The equipment of the Loan Parties shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such equipment shall be maintained and preserved, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12    ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that

-143-

---

Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

XI.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1 Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof.

-176-

---

Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature;

(viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,

(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing

-177-

---

him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2 Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3    Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

11.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5 Allocation of Payments During the Continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent's discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other

-181-

---

Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case

-182-

---

where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless

-183-

---

Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

14.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10 Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11 Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time within the time periods required under this Agreement all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments

-184-

---

for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12 No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Law.

14.13 Other Agreements.    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including

-185-

---

the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.14(b),

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time,

(i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency

-186-

Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Other Document.

(vii) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 14.15; and (2) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and any Other Document in its capacity as a Borrower or Guarantor thereunder, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose

-188-

---

Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.

Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.15; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale of Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b)Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of this Agreement or any Other Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrowers the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding the Borrowers' Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its participants of any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any participant of any other Lender.

Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Provider and, by virtue of entering into an agreement or arrangement to provide Cash Management Products and Services, Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedges or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Documents.    It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under this Agreement and the Other Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider's being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein.

In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or, with the consent of Agent, the Borrowing Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent, or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, Borrowing Agent and Agent.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,

(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.    If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral.    In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.    To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a

Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating

-206-

---

Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law. 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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such

Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4 Application of Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5 Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b)The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an "account" with such financial institution.

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.

16.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Other Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Other Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such QFC Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a QFC Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a QFC Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the this Agreement and the Other Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such QFC Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Other Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 16.19, the following terms have the following

meanings:

"BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined

under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

"QFC Covered Entity" shall mean any of the following:

(i)a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iv)    a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

16.20 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any Other Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under of the Other Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum

-216-

---

adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

16.21 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, "AML Legislation"), the Secured Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Secured Party and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Secured Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

Agent may establish Reserves from time to time in its Permitted Discretion upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Borrowing Agent (other than Reserves established to account for clerical or mathematical errors, which may be established without any such prior notice); provided, that if the implementation of any such Reserve would result in an overadvance after giving effect to any requested Advance, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make such Advance during such three (3) Business Day period and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to rescind such request for Advance without penalty during such period. Agent shall be available during such three (3) Business Day period to discuss such proposed Reserves with the Borrowers. Reserves shall be limited to such Reserves as Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion are necessary to reflect changes that (i) could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Agent's ability to realize upon the Collateral, (ii) reflect priority claims and liabilities that will need to be satisfied in connection with the realization upon the Collateral and/or (iii) reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks that differ from the facts or events known to Agent on the Closing Date and which directly, materially and adversely affect any component of the Borrowing Base. The contributing factors to the imposition or increase of any Reserve shall not duplicate the exclusionary criteria set forth in any definitions related to eligibility (including Eligible Inventory or Eligible Receivables) or any other Reserve, and the amount of any Reserve established by Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall bear a reasonable relationship to the factors giving rise thereto. If the factors giving rise to such Reserve or any of the elements in the immediately preceding sentence and

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

91

---

clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above no longer remain true in respect of a Reserve, then Agent shall promptly reduce or eliminate such Reserve and notify Borrowing Agent of the same; provided that the failure to so notify Borrowing Agent shall not affect the reduction or elimination of such Reserve). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, establish a Reserve in respect of all past due rent and other past due amounts owing by a Loan Party to any landlord, warehouseman, processor, repairman, mechanic, shipper, freight forwarder, broker or other Person who possesses any Collateral included in the Borrowing Base; provided, that no such reserve shall (i) be established against any Collateral located on a location which is subject to a Lien Waiver Agreement or collateral access agreement, (ii) be established during the 90 day period commencing on the Closing Date (or such longer period as Agent may agree in writing), (iii) in respect of any Inventory in-transit for a period of less than five (5) Business Days, or (iv) exceed three (3) months' rent.

(d)Sublimits.

(i)The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances made to Borrowers against Eligible Inventory shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to (i) from the Second Amendment Closing Date until December 31, 2024, the lesser of (A) an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and (B) $45,000,000, (ii) from January 1, 2025 until June 30, 2025, the lesser of (A) an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and (B) $42,000,000, and (iii) any time after June 30, 2025, the lesser of (A) an amount equal to sixty-five percent (65%) of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and (B) $39,000,000.

(ii)The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances made to Borrowers against Eligible Foreign In-Transit Inventory shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the amount of Eligible Inventory at any time included in the Borrowing Base and (B) $10,000,000.

(iii)The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances made to Borrowers against Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the U.K. Borrowing Base Companies, the Canadian Borrowing Base Companies and the Australian Borrowing Base Companies, taken as a whole, shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to $35,000,000.

(iv)The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances made to Borrowers against Eligible Inventory of the U.K. Borrowing Base Companies, the Canadian Borrowing Base Companies and the Australian Borrowing Base Companies, taken as a whole, shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to $22,500,000.

(vi)The aggregate amount of FILO Advances made to Borrowers against Eligible Uninsured Foreign Receivables shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to $0.

(vii)Until the completion of the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower, the joinder of the Australian Borrower as a Borrower hereunder and, subject to Sections 4.8(h) and 6.16, execution and delivery of the Australian Security Documents, the aggregate amount of Advances made to Borrowers that is predicated on the assets of the Australian Borrowing Base Companies (whether in respect of the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base or the Borrowing Base, as applicable), shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to $10,000,000.

(e)Closing Date Advances. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Revolving Advances made on the Closing Date shall be made to Initial Borrower for purposes of consummating the Closing Date Acquisitions and for paying fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of the calculating the Borrowing Base in respect of the Revolving Advances made on the Closing Date to Initial Borrower, the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be the Borrowing Base of Borrowers as if the Closing Date Acquisitions were consummated immediately prior to the making of the initial Loans advanced on the Closing Date. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the Initial Field Exam and the Initial Inventory Appraisal have not been conducted, obtained, and completed prior to the Closing Date, (x) Borrowers shall ensure that the Agent and its field examination personnel, advisors, appraisers, and consultants have sufficient access and such relevant information relating to the Loan Parties and their assets as is, in each case, reasonably necessary to complete such Initial Field Exam and the Initial Inventory Appraisal on or before the Initial Field Exam Due Date, (y) for purposes of the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be $70,571,761.69 (the "Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base") and (z) during the period from the day following the Closing Date and until the earlier of (A) the third (3rd) Business Day following the completion and delivery to Agent of the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal and (B) the Initial Field Exam Due Date (such date, the "Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date"; after which date, the Borrowing Base shall be determined as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(a) and (b) above), the Formula Amount shall be based on (1) up to 90% of Eligible Receivables (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2) of any U.S. Borrowing Base Company or Canadian Borrowing Base Company, (2) up to 85% of Eligible Receivables (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2) of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company or Australian Borrowing Base Company, (3) the lesser of (A) up to 75% of the value of the Eligible Inventory (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2), and (B) up to a percentage of net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2) to be determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion in consultation with

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

93

---

Borrowers and the third party appraisal working on the Initial Inventory Appraisal prior to completion thereof, in each case of any U.S. Borrowing Base Company or Canadian Borrowing Base Company, (4) the lesser of (A) up to 70% of the value of the Eligible Inventory (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2), and (B) up to a percentage of net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory (as determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base and updated pursuant to information delivered from time to time under Section 9.2) to be determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion in consultation with Borrowers and the third party appraisal working on the Initial Inventory Appraisal prior to completion thereof, in each case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company or Australian Borrowing Base Company, and (5) including the assets of the Australian Borrowing Base Companies in the Borrowing Base notwithstanding the fact that the joinder of the Australian Borrower and the completion of the Australian Security Documents is subject to Section 6.16, in each case subject to the sublimits set forth in Section 2.1(c) and applicable Reserves (including, without limitation, the deemed Reserve against the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base in an amount equal to $4,000,000); provided, that if the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal have not been completed and delivered prior to the Initial Field Exam Due Date, then, as of the Initial Field Exam Due Date, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be zero.

2.2Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances and FILO Advances; Deemed Advance Events; Procedures for Selection of Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.

(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day of a Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance hereunder; provided, that, four (4) Business Days prior notice shall be required for any request for an advance in Sterling, Euros, Australian Dollars, Swiss Franc and Hong Kong Dollars (it being understood that Agent and Lenders shall use best efforts to make any such advance in such Currency available to Borrowers as promptly as practicable following any such request). Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other expenses or charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement or the Other Documents, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge, expense or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, no further FILO Advances shall be permitted to be made, or remain outstanding, on and after the Second Amendment Closing Date.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Term Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Term SOFR Rate Loan is to be borrowed and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is to be

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

94

---

borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the Currency and amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Term Rate Loans shall be for one- or three-months; provided that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no Term Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower. After giving effect to each requested Term Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c)Each Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below, provided that no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

95

---

date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

96

---

made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3Term Loan

.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) one installment in the amount of $1,400,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and, thereafter, quarterly installments each in the amount of $2,100,000.00 commencing September 30, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter period (which, for the sake of clarity, is March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (i) shall apply.

2.4Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever,

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

97

make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

98

---

Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5Disbursement of Advance Proceeds

. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

99

---

applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

100

---

Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian Collateral True-up

.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Availability Block and Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate

101

---

Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount (less the Availability Block).

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to $12,500,000.

2.8Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term,

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

102

---

subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9Repayment of Excess Advances

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

103

---

. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10Statement of Account

. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

104

---

Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

106

---

promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

107

---

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16Documentation

. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder.

Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of $5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $45,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section

9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(i), 2.20(b)(ii) and 2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

2.21Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(i)fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

115

---

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iii)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation

Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23Payment of Obligations

. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1Interest

Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans.

Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage, Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

118

---

Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

119

---

any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3Fees.

(a)Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (1) the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated), (2) any portion of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with the prepayment contemplated by Section 6.19 and the related keepwell agreement, or (3) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so permanently reduced, paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

120

---

to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00 per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,750 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $2,000 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion, then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than two (2) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to three (3) field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

121

field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5Computation of Interest and Fees

. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

3.6Maximum Charges

.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent,

(f)If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall pay to the relevant Loan Party (for itself or as agent for the relevant other Loan Party, as the case may be) an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the applicable Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Loan Party under this Section 3.10(f) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body.  This Section 3.10(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person or to pay any amount the payment of which would place such Person and its Affiliates in a less favorable net after-Tax position than they 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.

(g)The Borrowing Agent shall, promptly upon becoming aware that a U.K. Loan Party must make a Tax Deduction for Taxes imposed by the U.K. (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender with respect to U.K. Taxes. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrowing Agent.

(h)Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in: (a) in respect of a U.K. Loan Party, (i) not a UK Qualifying Lender, (ii) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender) or (iii) a UK Treaty Lender; and (b) in respect of an Australian Loan Party, (i) not

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

135

---

an Australian Qualifying Lender, (ii) an Australian Qualifying Lender (other than an Australian Treaty Lender) or (iii) an Australian Treaty Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 3.10(h), then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender or Australian Qualifying Lender (as applicable) with respect to the relevant Loan Party until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrowing Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 3.10(h).

(i)

(i)Subject to Section 3.10(i)(ii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

(ii)

(A)A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Annex I (Commitments and Commitment Percentages); and

(B)a UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender,

and, having done so, that UK Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 3.10(i)(i) above.

(j)If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.10(i)(ii) above and (i) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or (ii) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but (A) that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or (B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes within 60 days of the

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

136

---

date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing; or (C) HM Revenue & Customs has given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired, and in each case the U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the U.K. Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

(k)If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.10(i)(ii) above, no U.K. Loan Party shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s advance or its participation in any Advance unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(l)A U.K. Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(m)A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.

(n)An Australian Treaty Lender and each Australian Loan Party which makes a payment to which that Australian Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Australian Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for Australian Taxes and maintain that authorization where an authorization expires or otherwise ceases to have effect.

(o)Value Added Tax.

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement or any Other Document by any party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to clause (o)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Recipient to any party to this Agreement or any Other Document and the Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such party must pay to the Recipient, in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply, an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Recipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the "Supplier") to any other Recipient (the "Receiving Party") under this Agreement or any Other Document, and any party to this Agreement or any Other Document other than the Receiving Party (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of this Agreement or any Other Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiving Party in respect of that consideration):

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

137

---

(A)if the Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, then the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiving Party must (where this Section 3.10(o)(ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Party receives from the relevant tax authority which such Receiving Party reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B)if the Receiving Party is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, then the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from such Receiving Party, pay to the Receiving Party an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that such Receiving Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii)Where this Agreement or any Other Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.10(o) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the applicable grouping rules (as provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) or in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under this Agreement or any Other Document, if reasonably requested by the Recipient, such party must promptly provide the Recipient with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(p)If a Loan Party determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes imposed by the U.K. or Australia for which indemnification has been demanded or additional amounts have been payable hereunder, the relevant Lender or

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

138

---

the relevant Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Loan Party in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Loan Party; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantaged by cooperating in such challenge, (ii) the Loan Party pays all related expenses of such Agent or Lender, (iii) the Loan Party indemnifies such Lender or Agent for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge and (iv) the Loan Party indemnifies such Agent or Lender, as applicable, for any Indemnified Taxes before any such contest. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 3.10(f).

(q)Determination. Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Section 3.10 a reference to determines or determined means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the Person making the determination.

(r)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Swing Loan Lender or a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

3.11Replacement of Lenders

. If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain Term Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) require the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining one or more replacement Lenders satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers (each a "Replacement Lender"); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose one or more Replacement Lenders subject to approval by Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, and other rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the Other Documents to Replacement Lenders or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in

All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11Exculpation of Liability

. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12ULC Limitation

. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise

invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

XI.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof.

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

184

---

Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

185

---

way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2Agent's Discretion

. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3Setoff

. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

11.4Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

XIV.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1Appointment

. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.4 the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent's discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2Nature of Duties

. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

190

---

14.3Lack of Reliance on Agent

. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent

. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

195

---

such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or

For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

215

---

and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

216

---

the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law.  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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

217

---

novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4Application of Payments

. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the

4886‐4763‐4628><v2>< 4033.197>

218

---

Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5Indemnity

. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iii) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of proceeds therefrom or (v) any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances; in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (y) a claim brought against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party's obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, or (z) claims among Indemnified Parties not involving an act or omission by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates. All amounts due under this Section 16.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

16.11Consequential Damages

Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all non-public information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, each Lender and each Transferee on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such QFC Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a QFC Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a QFC Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the this Agreement and the Other Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such QFC Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Other Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 16.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

"BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

"QFC Covered Entity" shall mean any of the following:

(i)    a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)    a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(i)a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

16.20Judgment Currency

. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any Other Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such

227

---

sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under of the Other Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Secured Party and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan

2.2 Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances and FILO Advances; Deemed Advance Events; Procedures for Selection of Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.

(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day of a Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance hereunder; provided, that, four (4) Business Days prior notice shall be required for any request for an advance in Sterling, Euros, Australian Dollars, Swiss Franc and Hong Kong Dollars (it being understood that Agent and Lenders shall use best efforts to make any such advance in such Currency available to Borrowers as promptly as practicable following any such request). Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other expenses or charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement or the Other Documents, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance or

-90-

---

FILO Advance, as applicable, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge, expense or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.< For the avoidance of doubt, no further FILO Advances shall be permitted to be made, or remain outstanding, on and after the Second Amendment Closing Date.>

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Term Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Term SOFR Rate Loan is to be borrowed and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),

(ii) the type of borrowing and the Currency and amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Term Rate Loans shall be for one- or three-months; provided that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no Term Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower. After giving effect to each requested Term Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c)Each Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below, provided that no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic

-91-

---

Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and

-92-

---

the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3 Term Loan.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) one installment in the amount of $1,400,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and, thereafter, quarterly installments each in the amount of $2,100,000.00 commencing September 30, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter period (which, for the sake of clarity, is March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (i) shall apply.

2.4 Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree

-93-

---

that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving

-94-

---

Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6 Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the

-95-

---

close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied

-96-

---

or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7 Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian Collateral True-up.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Availability Block and Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount (less the Availability Block).

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and

-97-

---

consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to

$12,500,000.

2.8 Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

-98-

---

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9 Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding     Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus

(ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2

-100-

---

of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent

-101-

---

jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to

-102-

---

effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving

-103-

---

Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16     Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17     Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18    Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party

thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with

respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

2.19    Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place

-106-

---

where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20    Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction in Commitments.

(a)Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances at any time in whole or in part. Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of $5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $45,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section

-107-

---

9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(i), 2.20(b)(ii) and 2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred

-108-

---

three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

2.21    Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of the FILO Advances made on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date solely to the repayment of the outstanding Term Loan on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22    Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(iii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or

-109-

---

exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer

-110-

---

shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered

-111-

---

into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23    Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and

16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1    Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or decreased, the Revolving

-112-

---

Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage, Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2        Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence

-113-

---

of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3    Fees.

(a)Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

-114-

---

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if

(1) the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated), (2) any portion of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with the prepayment contemplated by Section 6.19 and the related keepwell agreement, or (3) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so permanently reduced, paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein, the Premium Amount shall not apply to the prepayment of the Term Loans on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amendment.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4        Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00 per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent

-115-

---

(whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,750 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $2,000 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion, then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than two (2) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to three (3) field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5        Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

3.6        Maximum Charges.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by

-116-

---

a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to such Loan Party.

3.7    Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

-117-

---

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, within five (5) Business Days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer notifies the Borrowers in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of such Agent's, Swing Loan Lender's, Lender's or Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.8        Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1.    Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(i)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(ii)deposits in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable; or

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

-118-

---

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent,

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2 hereof applies, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan and any such requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be made as an RFR Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of the applicable Term Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan, RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, an RFR Loan or an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan into an affected type of Term Rate Loan.

3.8.2.     Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an "Other Document" for purposes of this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting"), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2), (3), or (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such

-119-

---

Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of objection to (i) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (2) or (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", such Benchmark Replacement.

(2)(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Currency, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that this clause (2) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate

and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, as applicable, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such interest rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Advances bearing interest as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

-122-

replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time.

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"Benchmark Unavailability Period" shall mean the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for any Currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in accordance with this Section 3.8.2 titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting" and

(G)if a payment made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent shall deliver to the Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender, Participant or Issuer) and Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the

U.S. Borrower or Agent (A) such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) any other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or U.S. Borrower sufficient for Agent and Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements, provided that solely for purposes of this clause (G), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, and

-128-

---

(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the applicable Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Loan Party under this Section 3.10(f) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. This Section 3.10(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person or to pay any amount the payment of which would place such Person and its Affiliates in a less favorable net after-Tax position than they 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.

(g)The Borrowing Agent shall, promptly upon becoming aware that a U.K. Loan Party must make a Tax Deduction for Taxes imposed by the U.K. (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.

For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 3.10(h).

(i)

(i)Subject to Section 3.10(i)(ii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each

U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.10(o) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the applicable grouping rules (as provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) or in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under this Agreement or any Other Document, if reasonably requested by the Recipient, such party must promptly provide the Recipient with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(ii) the Loan Party pays all related expenses of such Agent or Lender, (iii) the Loan Party indemnifies such Lender or Agent for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge and (iv) the Loan Party indemnifies such Agent or Lender, as applicable, for any Indemnified Taxes before any such contest. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 3.10(f).

(q)Determination. Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Section 3.10 a reference to determines or determined means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the Person making the determination.

(r)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Swing Loan Lender or a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

3.1.1    Replacement of Lenders.

any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) require the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining one or more replacement Lenders satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers (each a "Replacement Lender"); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose one or more Replacement Lenders subject to approval by Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, and other rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the Other Documents to Replacement Lenders or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender.

IV.COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS

4.1        Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent, Issuer and each Lender (and each other holder of any Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party (other than a U.K. Loan Party or a Hong Kong Loan Party, and in the case of any Australian Loan Party, subject to Section 6.16) hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender, Issuer and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to all Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located. For purposes of this Section 4.1, all terms used in the definition of "Collateral" and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or the Australian PPSA shall have the meanings given to such term in the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or the Australian PPSA, as applicable.

4.2        Perfection of Security Interest. Each Loan Party shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may reasonably request in writing, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent's security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to the extent required under this Agreement or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to,

(i) using commercially reasonable efforts to discharge all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lien Waiver Agreements with respect to Collateral (other than Inventory in-transit) with an aggregate value in excess of

By its signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Loan Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as "all assets" and/or "all personal property" of any Loan Party). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local Taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to perfect a security interest in (a) letter of credit rights (other than those that constitute supporting obligations as to other Collateral) with a value of less than $1,000,000, or (b) deliver to Agent possession of any items of Collateral with a value of less than $1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Parties (a) shall furnish to the Agent a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in respect of the creation of a valid security interest and perfection thereof in each province or territory of Canada (other than Ontario) at such time that the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) in any such province or territory of Canada exceeds $500,000, and (b) shall not be obligated to enter into or otherwise deliver to the Agent any security agreements or deeds of hypothec in the Province of Quebec, Canada until such time as the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) within the Province of Quebec exceeds

$500,000, and at such time the Loan Parties shall enter into and deliver, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period reasonably acceptable to the Agent) of exceeding the foregoing threshold, such security agreements, deeds of hypothec and associated registrations, corporate authorizations and opinions as the Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

4.3    Preservation of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent:

(a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Loan Party's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party's owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Loan Party's owned or leased property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve

-134-

---

the Collateral as Agent may direct to the extent such actions would could not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of Applicable Law. All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, and added to the Obligations.

4.4        Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security interest each Loan Party shall have rights in and be fully authorized and able to grant to Agent a security interest in its Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i); (ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person's assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party and (B) the chief executive office of each Loan Party or location from which such Loan Party manages the main part of its business operations or other affairs; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords.

4.5    Defense of Agent's and Lenders' Interests.    Until Payment in Full, Agent's interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect except as set forth in Section 14.15. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent's interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA or other Applicable Law. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option (and upon written request from Agent, each Loan Party shall), instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Loan Party's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent's trustee, and such

-135-

---

Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6    Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times during regular business hours of the Loan Parties and upon reasonable prior written notice, Agent (who may be accompanied by any Lender at such Lender's own cost) shall have the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, no Loan Party will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or nonfinancial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives, investment bankers, consultants, accountants, or lawyers) is prohibited by law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided that Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent if information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence to the extent such notice would not itself be prohibited by law or binding agreement, or reasonably be likely to compromise such attorney-client privilege or the privilege afforded to attorney work product.

4.7    Appraisals. Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Party's assets. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any such firm. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges incurred by Agent in respect of any such appraisal; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred during a calendar year, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) appraisal of the Inventory in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) appraisals of Inventory in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for appraisals of Inventory conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

4.8    Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)Each of the Receivables constituting Collateral shall in all material respects be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(b)The Borrowers represent and warrant, as of the date set forth on the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, that each Receivable shown as an Eligible Receivable on

-136-

---

such Borrowing Base Certificate is an Eligible Receivable and satisfies all eligibility criteria with respect thereto as of such date.

(c)Each Loan Party's chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d)Loan Parties shall, within the time period required by Section 6.16, instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Blocked Account(s), Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes), and/or deposit accounts subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent, or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent. In the case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company, such deposit account(s) (each a "U.K. Collection Account") shall (i) be located in England, (ii) only contain the proceeds of Receivables of that U.K. Borrowing Base Company and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, not be used for general payment purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect in trust for Agent all amounts received on such Receivables, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s), Depository Account(s) and/or deposit account(s). During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, each Loan Party shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon written request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the date of receipt thereof, all remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, wires, checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness in respect of such Receivables.

(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables constituting Collateral to any and all Customers or any third party holding any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables constituting the Collateral, take possession of the Collateral, or both.

(f)Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables constituting Collateral, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Loan Party's attorney with power at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(A) to endorse such Loan Party's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment of Collateral; (B) to sign such Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables constituting Collateral, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral; (C) to send verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral to any Customer; (D) to sign such Loan

-137-

---

Party's name on any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (E) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; (F) to demand payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (G) to enforce payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise; (H) to exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables constituting Collateral and any other Collateral; (I) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables constituting Collateral; (J) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables constituting Collateral;

(K) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on a claim or proof of claim in bankruptcy or insolvency or similar document against any Customer; (L) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables constituting Collateral; (M) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (N) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate; and (O) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by such Agent or Lender.

(h)Subject to and except as provided in Section 6.16, all cash proceeds of Collateral at any time received by any Loan Party shall promptly be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank") pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds or (iii) in the case of Loan Parties that are not U.S. Loan Parties, deposit accounts that are subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent (provided, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.8, so long as the aggregate amount of cash maintained in bank accounts in Australia does not exceed $4,000,000, the Loan Parties shall only be required to use best efforts for an agreed period of time to enter into account control agreements with respect to bank accounts in Australia). Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall, subject to Section 6.16 and within the time periods required thereby, enter into a deposit account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the

-138-

---

Agent's administrative control, over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary or in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

(j)All deposit accounts (including Excluded Deposit Accounts, all Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, and (ii) each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account.

4.9    Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder (but only to the extent such legislation, rules, regulations and orders apply to such Loan Party).

4.10    Maintenance of Equipment. The equipment of the Loan Parties shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such equipment shall be maintained and preserved, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11    Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall

-139-

---

Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12    ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

-171-

---

Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party.    Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or

-172-

---

disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature;

(viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,

(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all

-173-

---

money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2    Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3    Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

11.4    Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5    Allocation of Payments During the Continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

XIII.TERMINATION.

13.1    Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect Agent's or any Lender's rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until Payment in Full. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers' Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until Payment in Full or each Borrower has furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Borrower waives any rights which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA to demand the filing of termination and/or discharge statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination and/or discharge statements to each Borrower, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until Payment in Full.    All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until Payment in Full.

XIV.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1    Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.4 the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent's discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2    Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this

-177-

---

Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3    Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4    Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent

-178-

---

for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5    Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6    Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7    Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8    Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the

-179-

---

total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

14.9    Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10    Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11 Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time within the time periods required under this Agreement all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12    No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Law.

-180-

14.13 Other Agreements.    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14     Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient,

-181-

---

otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.14(b),

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time,

(i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net

-182-

---

proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Other Document.

14.15    Collateral Matters.

(a)The Secured Parties (including Agent, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, and each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as holders of Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following (and each such Person agrees and consents to the same): (1) to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full, (ii) in connection with any Permitted Disposition (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that the transaction is a Permitted Disposition (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),

(iii) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned any interest at the time Agent's Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, (v) upon any property that had previously been Collateral becoming Excluded Property (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that such property that had previously been

-183-

---

Collateral has become Excluded Property pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereby (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry)), (vi) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Borrower or Guarantor, upon release of such Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, or

(vii) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 14.15; and (2) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and any Other Document in its capacity as a Borrower or Guarantor thereunder, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (A) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law), (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to a disposition of such Collateral consented to by Required Lenders), all of the Lenders or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.15; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any

-184-

---

obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale of Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b)Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

14.16    Field Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(ix)increase the Advance Rates or FILO Advance Rates; or

(x)other than (1) in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the terms hereof, (2) in accordance with Section 14.15, (3) as otherwise consented to by Required Lenders, or (4) upon Payment in Full, release any Guarantor or Borrower without the consent of all Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Issuer, or any other rights or duties of Issuer under this Agreement or the Other Documents, without the written consent of Issuer, Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(B)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Swing Loan Lender, or any other rights or duties of Swing Loan Lender under this Agreement or the Other Documents, without the written consent of Swing Loan Lender, Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(C)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or the Other Documents, without the written consent of Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(D)Anything in this Section 16.2(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any Other Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lenders among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of any Loan Party, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender; and

-199-

---

(E)The Fee Letter may only be amended with the consent of Agent and Borrowers (it being understood that no Lender's consent shall be required).

(c)Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d)In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to Agent or to another Lender or, with the consent of Agent, to any other Person designated by Borrowing Agent (the "Designated Lender"), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or, with the consent of Agent, the Borrowing Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent, or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, Borrowing Agent and Agent.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,

(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding

-200-

---

Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral.    In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.    To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3    Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating

-201-

---

interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law. 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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations

-202-

---

of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4    Application of Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived

-203-

and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5    Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iii) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of proceeds therefrom or (v) any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances; in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (y) a claim brought against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party's obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, or (z) claims among Indemnified Parties not involving an act or omission by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all non-public information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, each Lender and each Transferee on a

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by the Australian PPSA, the parties agree to keep all information of the kind mentioned by Section 275(1) of the Australian PPSA confidential and not to disclose that information to any other person. To the extent Section 275 of the Australian PPSA requires the Australian Security Trustee to respond to a request for information, the parties to this Agreement agree that the terms of the Australian PPS Security Interest provided under an Australian Security Document are contained wholly in that Other Document.

16.16    Publicity. Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such advertising, print media and promotional materials (including, without limitation, on any of the Agent's websites) and to such selected parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate.

16.17    Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b)The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an "account" with such financial institution. Consequently, any Lender may from time to time request, and each Borrower shall provide to such Lender, such Borrower's name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

(c)If (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; (ii) any change in the status of a U.K. Loan Party after the date of this Agreement; or (iii) a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a party that is not a Lender prior to such assignment or transfer; obliges Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of paragraph (iii) above, any prospective new Lender) to comply with "know your customer" or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, each U.K. Loan Party shall promptly upon the request of Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in paragraph (iii) above, on behalf of any prospective new

-209-

---

Lender) in order for Agent, such Lender or, in the case of the event described in paragraph (iii) above, any prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and Other Documents; and (ii) each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by Agent (for itself) in order for Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and Other Documents.

16.18    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Other Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under this Agreement or any Other Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if

applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or

other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any Other Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.

16.19    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Other Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge or Lender-Provided Foreign Currency Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Other Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-210-

---

(a)In the event a QFC Covered Entity (as defined below) that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "QFC Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such QFC Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a QFC Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a QFC Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the this Agreement and the Other Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such QFC Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Other Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)As used in this Section 16.19, the following terms have the following

meanings:

"BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined

under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

"QFC Covered Entity" shall mean any of the following:

(i)a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iv)    a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

16.20    Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any Other Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under of the Other Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the

-211-

---

extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

16.21    Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, "AML Legislation"), the Secured Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Secured Party and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Secured Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

Company or Australian Borrowing Base Company, and (5) including the assets of the Australian Borrowing Base Companies in the Borrowing Base notwithstanding the fact that the joinder of the Australian Borrower and the completion of the Australian Security Documents is subject to Section 6.16, in each case subject to the sublimits set forth in Section 2.1(c) and applicable Reserves (including, without limitation, the deemed Reserve against the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base in an amount equal to $4,000,000); provided, that if the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal have not been completed and delivered prior to the Initial Field Exam Due Date, then, as of the Initial Field Exam Due Date, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be zero.

2.2 Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances and FILO Advances; Deemed Advance Events; Procedures for Selection of Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.

(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day of a Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance hereunder; provided, that, four (4) Business Days prior notice shall be required for any request for an advance in Sterling, Euros, Australian Dollars, Swiss Franc and Hong Kong Dollars (it being understood that Agent and Lenders shall use best efforts to make any such advance in such Currency available to Borrowers as promptly as practicable following any such request). Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other expenses or charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement or the Other Documents, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge, expense or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Term Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Term SOFR Rate Loan is to be borrowed and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the date such Term Rate Loan bearing interest as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),

(ii) the type of borrowing and the Currency and amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Term Rate Loans shall be for one- or three-months; provided that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no Term Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower. After giving effect to each requested Term Rate Loan, including

-89-

---

those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c)Each Interest Period of a Term Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below, provided that no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day which is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Term Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) on the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a RFR Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment or (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Term Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Term Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Term Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in

-90-

---

accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any prepayment notice under this clause (f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To the extent this Section 2.2(g) conflicts with Section 3.10 with respect to Taxes, Section 3.10 shall govern.

(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Term Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Term Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Term Rate Loans or convert such affected Term Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Term Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire Term SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring Term SOFR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

2.3 Term Loan.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, will make a term loan (the "Term Loan") in Dollars to Initial Borrower, in the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Annex I hereto. The Term Loan shall be, with respect to principal, payable as follows,

-91-

---

subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) one installment in the amount of $1,400,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and, thereafter, quarterly installments each in the amount of $2,100,000.00 commencing September 30, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal quarter period (which, for the sake of clarity, is March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31) thereafter through and including September 30, 2027, and (ii) a final installment of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on October 18, 2027. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 if requested by a Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the "Term Notes"). Each Term Loan may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any portion of a Term Loan as a Term Rate Loan or to convert any portion of the Term Loan from a Domestic Rate Loan or an RFR Loan to a Term Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (i) shall apply.

2.4 Swing Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances ("Swing Loans") available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans, FILO Advances and Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing Base. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. To the extent requested by Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Swing Loan Note") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (or such other form as agreed in writing by Agent and Borrowing Agent). Swing Loan Lender's agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request

-92-

---

or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance, FILO Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent), in immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request (with any excess promptly deposited in the applicable account described in clause (i) above). During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.6 Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). The Term Loan shall be advanced according to the applicable Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Term Loan Commitments. Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone. Advances made in Dollars shall be repaid in Dollars. Advances made in an Alternative Currency shall be repaid in such applicable Alternative Currency.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance and FILO Advances, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, as applicable, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, that are

-94-

---

Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances and FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such

-95-

---

participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.7 Maximum Advances; Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base True-up; Australian Collateral True-up.

(a)The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Availability Block and Reserves established hereunder, less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount (less the Availability Block).

(b)The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(d) below, in the event that Undrawn Availability on the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, with the Borrowing Base being calculated on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b) after giving effect to the Initial Field Exam and Initial Inventory Appraisal (and not, for the sake of clarity, the Closing Date Deemed Borrowing Base) and taking into pro forma account the closing and consummation of the Closing Date Acquisition and the outstanding amount of the initial Loans made on the Closing Date, is less than $12,500,000 ("Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability"), then, on such Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that, after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to the Deemed Borrowing Base True-up Undrawn Availability.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, and independent of any true-up requirements set forth in Section 2.7(c) above, in the event that the Australian Whitewash with respect to the Australian Borrower is not completed, the Australian Borrower has not joined as a Borrower and/or Australian Security Documents are not executed and delivered, in each case within the applicable post-closing periods in accordance with Section 6.16 (such date, the "Australian Collateral Outside Date"), such that Agent is not provided with a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral of the Australian Loan Parties on such Australian Collateral Outside Date, then, (i) the Borrowing Base shall be re-calculated on such date to remove all Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables of the Australian Loan Parties and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Australian Collateral Outside Date, the Borrowers shall make a voluntary prepayment of the Obligations, which prepayment shall be funded solely with Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of new common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) to B Riley, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances such that,

-96-

---

after giving effect to such payment, Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to

$12,500,000.

2.8 Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 11.1 or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances (other than the Term Loan) shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and third, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22). Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan pro rata according to the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding part of the Term Loan.

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date") Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date therefor in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, in each case in funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder to the extent provided and in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be

-97-

---

made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, and in immediately available funds.

2.9 Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Advances exceeds the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11 Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency ("Letters of Credit") for the account of any Borrower (provided that such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and remains liable hereunder thereon) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances, plus

(ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less Reserves established hereunder or (y) the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v) and Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii)); The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as determined in respect of the applicable Currency, consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any

Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration) and in no event later than the last day of the Term, unless the Agent, Issuer and Borrowing Agent agree. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct Issuer to

-99-

---

deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or the Canada Border Services Agency (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower's name or Issuer's, or in the name of Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent's, Issuer's or their respective attorney's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest during the continuance of an Event of Default, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b)

-100-

---

may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion such Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, monitor, receiver, interim receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator, monitor or any similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.

2.16 Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall

-102-

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received

---

(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party

thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with

respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(xii)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred

and be continuing;

(xiii)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.19 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction

-104-

---

in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction in Commitments; Automatic Reduction in Commitments.

(a)Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances at any time in whole or in part. Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, other than in connection with a refinancing or repayment that results in the Payment in Full of all Obligations, no Borrower shall make any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied after giving effect to any such voluntary prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) at any time; provided, that (i) Borrowing Agent shall provide at least three (3)

-105-

---

Business Days prior written notice of such reduction, (ii) such reduction shall be in increments of $5,000,000, (iii) such reduction shall be permanent, (iv) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced below $45,000,000 unless all of the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (v) any reduction to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be accompanied by a pro rata corresponding reduction in the Maximum FILO Amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowing Agent may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment, termination or reduction identified in) any prepayment, reduction or termination notice under this Section 2.20(a) if such prepayment, reduction or termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Advances, or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of the Term Loans and optional prepayments of the Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in each case, actually made during such fiscal year, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to Agent referred to in and required by Section

9.7 for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year. In the event that the financial statements referred to above are not so delivered, then a calculation based upon estimated amounts shall be made by Agent upon which calculation Borrowers shall make the prepayment required by this Section 2.20(a), subject to adjustment when the financial statement is delivered to Agent as required hereby. The calculation made by Agent shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights Agent or Lenders may have as a result of the failure by Borrowers to deliver such financial statements.

(ii)Not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt by any Loan party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty or condemnation event or disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition under clauses (a) through (f), (h) through (k), (n), (o) or (r) of the definition thereof), in each case in respect of the Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay or cause to be prepaid the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below; provided, so long as no Event of Default or Cash Dominion Trigger Period shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such casualty or condemnation event or such disposition through the date of such usage, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.1.

(iii)Promptly upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below

-106-

---

in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)Promptly upon the issuance of any Equity Interests in connection with an exercise of the Cure Right, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with clause (c) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(i), 2.20(b)(ii) and 2.20(b)(iii) shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan, applied in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full, second, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, third, to the outstanding FILO Advances (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment) until paid in full, and fourth, solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Each prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.20(b)(iv) shall be applied at the discretion of the Agent.

(d)Commencing on September 30, 2025, and continuing on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 thereafter, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Advances, in each case in an amount equal to $2,500,000 on such dates. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied with an automatic and corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments and the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and shall be accompanied by the payment of any applicable Premium Amount in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement until (i) the Revolving Commitments and the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount have been reduced to zero and (ii) the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement has occurred.

2.21 Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers on the Closing Date, (ii) partially fund the purchase price in respect of the Closing Date Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, (iv) fund Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (v) provide for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of the FILO Advances made on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date solely to the repayment of the outstanding Term Loan on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use

-107-

---

any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22 Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances and FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)fees pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(iii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

-108-

---

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following written notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;

(D)if Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of

-109-

---

the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e)In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and any cash collateral posted by any Borrower in respect of any Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(B) above, shall promptly be returned to such Borrower or Borrowing Agent.

(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23 Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise) solely to the extent such payments have not been paid by Borrowers when due hereunder, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement of any Other Document including any Borrower's

-110-

---

obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, and 6.6 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and RFR Loans and, with respect to Term Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or with respect to any Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period), provided that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest on Advances made in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency, as applicable. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month or Interest Period, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate applicable to such Revolving Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the FILO Advance Interest Rate applicable to such FILO Advance plus (A) the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans and (B) the Term CORRA Adjustment with respect to Term CORRA Rate Loans, (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans and (iv) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable Term Loan Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR is increased or decreased, the Revolving Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or any RFR during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage, Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage or RFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, the "Default Rate").

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and

-111-

---

excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this subsection (x) in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, to the extent and solely for the period required by Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Issuer of such Letter of Credit), and each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Agreement and while such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and solely to the extent that Borrowers have not provided or caused to be provided the amount of cash collateral required by this clause (b), on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower, in each case coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the

-112-

---

absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3 Fees.

(a)Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the "Usage Amount") does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for each such day the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds the Usage Amount (the "Facility Fee"). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to each day in the previous month and on the last day of the Term with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof ending on such date, as applicable.

(b)Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if

(1) the entirety of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced or terminated (or are required to be reduced or terminated), (2) any portion of the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with the prepayment contemplated by Section 6.19 and the related keepwell agreement, or (3) all or any portion of the Term Loan is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid), in each case (x) pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(ii) or (iii) (other than in connection with a Change of Control), (y) in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (other than in connection with a Change of Control) or (z) as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations (whether or not such acceleration occurs automatically) or the commencement of an Insolvency Event, (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), each a "Premium Event"), then the Agent shall be paid, for the benefit of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loan, as applicable, as an inducement for making Advances and Revolving Commitments hereunder (and not as a penalty), an amount (the "Premium Amount") equal to the Premium Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and/or principal amount of the portion of the Term Loan so permanently reduced, paid or prepaid (or required to be paid or prepaid), as applicable, which Premium Amount shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on

-113-

---

the date of such payment or prepayment, or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers for any such repayment or prepayment and shall be applicable whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The actual amount of damages to Agent and the Lenders, or profits lost by Agent and the Lenders, as a result of any early prepayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Premium Amount hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Agent and the Lenders and not a penalty. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Premium Amount described in this Section 3.3(b) represents the product of an arm's length transaction among sophisticated parties and constitutes a material inducement for the Lenders to make the Advances and provide the Revolving Commitments hereunder. The Premium Amount provided for in this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations and secured by the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein, the Premium Amount shall not apply to the prepayment of the Term Loans on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amendment.

(c)Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

3.4 Collateral Monitoring Fee; Collateral Evaluation Fee; Expenses.

(a)Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral monitoring fee equal to $1,666.00 per month commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral monitoring fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b)Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent's employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,750 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $2,000 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided that if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its sole discretion, then such fees charged by such third parties plus all costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrower and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than two (2) field examination in any calendar year (increasing to three (3) field examinations in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period),

-114-

---

except for field examinations conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

3.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Revolving Advances denominated in Australian Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars, 365 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

3.6 Maximum Charges.

(a)In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(b)Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to any Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(c)If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all

-115-

---

adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to such Loan Party.

3.7 Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, within five (5) Business Days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer notifies the Borrowers in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of

-116-

---

such Agent's, Swing Loan Lender's, Lender's or Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.8 Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1.Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(i)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(ii)deposits in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable; or

(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(iv)any Term Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Term Rate Loan, and Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent, then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2 hereof applies, (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan and any such requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be made as an RFR Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of the applicable Term Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan, RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Term Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected

-117-

---

type of Term Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, an RFR Loan or an unaffected type of Term Rate Loan into an affected type of Term Rate Loan.

3.8.2. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement.

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an "Other Document" for purposes of this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting"), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2), (3), or (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of objection to (i) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (2) or (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", such Benchmark Replacement.

(2)(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Currency, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that this clause (2) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not

-118-

---

be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, as applicable, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such interest rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such

-119-

---

request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Advances bearing interest as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent shall deliver to the Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender, Participant or Issuer) and Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the

U.S. Borrower or Agent (A) such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) any other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or U.S. Borrower sufficient for Agent and Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements, provided that solely for purposes of this clause (G), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, and

(H)each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the

U.S. Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall pay to the relevant Loan Party (for itself or as agent for the relevant other Loan Party, as the case may be) an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the applicable Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Loan Party under this Section 3.10(f) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. This Section 3.10(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person or to pay any amount the payment of which would place such Person and its Affiliates in a less favorable net after-Tax position than they 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.

(g)The Borrowing Agent shall, promptly upon becoming aware that a U.K. Loan Party must make a Tax Deduction for Taxes imposed by the U.K. (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.

Lender with respect to U.K. Taxes. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrowing Agent.

(h)Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in: (a) in respect of a U.K. Loan Party, (i) not a UK Qualifying Lender, (ii) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender) or (iii) a UK Treaty Lender; and (b) in respect of an Australian Loan Party, (i) not an Australian Qualifying Lender, (ii) an Australian Qualifying Lender (other than an Australian Treaty Lender) or (iii) an Australian Treaty Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 3.10(h), then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender or Australian Qualifying Lender (as applicable) with respect to the relevant Loan Party until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrowing Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 3.10(h).

(i)

(i)Subject to Section 3.10(i)(ii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each

U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

(ii)

(A)A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Annex I (Commitments and Commitment Percentages); and

(B)a UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender,

and, having done so, that UK Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 3.10(i)(i) above.

(j)If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.10(i)(ii) above and (i) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or

(ii) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but (A) that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or (B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing; or (C) HM Revenue & Customs has given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired, and in each case the U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the U.K. Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction for U.K. Taxes.

(k)If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.10(i)(ii) above, no U.K. Loan Party shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s advance or its participation in any Advance unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(o)Value Added Tax.

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement or any Other Document by any party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to clause (o)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Recipient to any party to this Agreement or any Other Document and the Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such party must pay to the Recipient, in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply, an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Recipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the "Supplier") to any other Recipient (the "Receiving Party") under this Agreement

-129-

---

or any Other Document, and any party to this Agreement or any Other Document other than the Receiving Party (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of this Agreement or any Other Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiving Party in respect of that consideration):

(iii)Where this Agreement or any Other Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.10(o) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the applicable grouping rules (as provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) or in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under this Agreement or any Other Document, if reasonably requested by the Recipient, such party must promptly provide the Recipient with details of such party’s VAT registration and such

-130-

other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(p)If a Loan Party determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes imposed by the U.K. or Australia for which indemnification has been demanded or additional amounts have been payable hereunder, the relevant Lender or the relevant Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Loan Party in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Loan Party; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantaged by cooperating in such challenge,

(ii) the Loan Party pays all related expenses of such Agent or Lender, (iii) the Loan Party indemnifies such Lender or Agent for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge and (iv) the Loan Party indemnifies such Agent or Lender, as applicable, for any Indemnified Taxes before any such contest. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 3.10(f).

(q)Determination. Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Section 3.10 a reference to determines or determined means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the Person making the determination.

(r)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Swing Loan Lender or a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

3.11 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain Term Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) or 3.8(b) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) require the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining one or more replacement Lenders satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers (each a "Replacement Lender"); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose one or more Replacement Lenders subject to approval by Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, and other rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the Other Documents to Replacement Lenders or

non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender.

IV.COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS

4.1 Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent, Issuer and each Lender (and each other holder of any Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party (other than a U.K. Loan Party or a Hong Kong Loan Party, and in the case of any Australian Loan Party, subject to Section 6.16) hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender, Issuer and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to all Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located. For purposes of this Section 4.1, all terms used in the definition of "Collateral" and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or the Australian PPSA shall have the meanings given to such term in the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or the Australian PPSA, as applicable.

4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Each Loan Party shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may reasonably request in writing, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent's security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to the extent required under this Agreement or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to discharge all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lien Waiver Agreements with respect to Collateral (other than Inventory in-transit) with an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 that is either (a) in the possession or control of a consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor or (b) located on premises not owned by a Loan Party, (iii) upon the written request of Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and advices thereof evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, and (iv) executing and delivering financing statements, deposit account control agreements (to the extent and within the time periods required by the other terms of this Agreement), and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent's security interest and Lien on the Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and the Australian PPSA. By its signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Loan Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as "all assets" and/or "all personal property" of any Loan Party). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local Taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to perfect a security interest in (a) letter of credit rights (other than those that constitute supporting

-132-

---

obligations as to other Collateral) with a value of less than $1,000,000, or (b) deliver to Agent possession of any items of Collateral with a value of less than $1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Parties (a) shall furnish to the Agent a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in respect of the creation of a valid security interest and perfection thereof in each province or territory of Canada (other than Ontario) at such time that the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) in any such province or territory of Canada exceeds $500,000, and (b) shall not be obligated to enter into or otherwise deliver to the Agent any security agreements or deeds of hypothec in the Province of Quebec, Canada until such time as the Inventory of the Loan Parties (determined at the lower of cost or market value) within the Province of Quebec exceeds

$500,000, and at such time the Loan Parties shall enter into and deliver, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period reasonably acceptable to the Agent) of exceeding the foregoing threshold, such security agreements, deeds of hypothec and associated registrations, corporate authorizations and opinions as the Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

4.3 Preservation of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an     Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent:

(a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Loan Party's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party's owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Loan Party's owned or leased property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct to the extent such actions would could not reasonably be expected to result in a violation of Applicable Law. All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, and added to the Obligations.

4.4 Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security interest each Loan Party shall have rights in and be fully authorized and able to grant to Agent a security interest in its Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i); (ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the

-133-

---

goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person's assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party and (B) the chief executive office of each Loan Party or location from which such Loan Party manages the main part of its business operations or other affairs; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords.

4.5 Defense of Agent's and Lenders' Interests.    Until Payment in Full, Agent's interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect except as set forth in Section 14.15. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent's interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA or other Applicable Law. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option (and upon written request from Agent, each Loan Party shall), instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Loan Party's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent's trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6 Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times during regular business hours of the Loan Parties and upon reasonable prior written notice, Agent (who may be accompanied by any Lender at such Lender's own cost) shall have the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, no Loan Party will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or nonfinancial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives, investment bankers, consultants, accountants, or lawyers) is prohibited by law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided that Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent if information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence to the extent

-134-

---

such notice would not itself be prohibited by law or binding agreement, or reasonably be likely to compromise such attorney-client privilege or the privilege afforded to attorney work product.

4.7 Appraisals. Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Party's assets. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any such firm. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges incurred by Agent in respect of any such appraisal; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred during a calendar year, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one (1) appraisal of the Inventory in any calendar year (increasing to two (2) appraisals of Inventory in a calendar year during a Covenant Trigger Period), except for appraisals of Inventory conducted in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (whether or not consummated).

4.8 Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)Each of the Receivables constituting Collateral shall in all material respects be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(b)The Borrowers represent and warrant, as of the date set forth on the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, that each Receivable shown as an Eligible Receivable on such Borrowing Base Certificate is an Eligible Receivable and satisfies all eligibility criteria with respect thereto as of such date.

(c)Each Loan Party's chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d)Loan Parties shall, within the time period required by Section 6.16, instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Blocked Account(s), Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes), and/or deposit accounts subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent, or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent. In the case of any U.K. Borrowing Base Company, such deposit account(s) (each a "U.K. Collection Account") shall (i) be located in England, (ii) only contain the proceeds of Receivables of that U.K. Borrowing Base Company and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, not be used for general payment purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables

-135-

---

constituting Collateral, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect in trust for Agent all amounts received on such Receivables, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s), Depository Account(s) and/or deposit account(s). During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, each Loan Party shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon written request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the date of receipt thereof, all remittances upon Receivables constituting Collateral, wires, checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness in respect of such Receivables.

(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables constituting Collateral to any and all Customers or any third party holding any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables constituting the Collateral, take possession of the Collateral, or both.

(f)Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables constituting Collateral, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Loan Party's attorney with power at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(A) to endorse such Loan Party's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment of Collateral; (B) to sign such Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables constituting Collateral, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral; (C) to send verifications of Receivables constituting Collateral to any Customer; (D) to sign such Loan Party's name on any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (E) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; (F) to demand payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (G) to enforce payment of the Receivables constituting Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise; (H) to exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables constituting Collateral and any other Collateral; (I) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables constituting Collateral; (J) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables constituting Collateral;

(K) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on a claim or proof of claim in bankruptcy or insolvency or similar document against any Customer; (L) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables constituting Collateral; (M) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables constituting Collateral; (N) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate; and (O) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or

-136-

---

designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by such Agent or Lender.

(h)Subject to and except as provided in Section 6.16, all cash proceeds of Collateral at any time received by any Loan Party shall promptly be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank") pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds or (iii) in the case of Loan Parties that are not U.S. Loan Parties, deposit accounts that are subject to account control agreements in favor of Agent (provided, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.8, so long as the aggregate amount of cash maintained in bank accounts in Australia does not exceed $4,000,000, the Loan Parties shall only be required to use best efforts for an agreed period of time to enter into account control agreements with respect to bank accounts in Australia). Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall, subject to Section 6.16 and within the time periods required thereby, enter into a deposit account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all funds of any Loan Party received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 11.5, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables constituting Collateral first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, then to the Revolving Advances, and then to the FILO Advances.

(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon

-137-

---

except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary or in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.

(j)All deposit accounts (including Excluded Deposit Accounts, all Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j). No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless (i) Loan Parties shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, and (ii) each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control agreement (which may be by way of notice to and acknowledgement from the relevant Blocked Account Bank) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or Part 9.5 of the Australian PPSA), or otherwise establish the Agent's administrative control, over such account.

4.9 Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder (but only to the extent such legislation, rules, regulations and orders apply to such Loan Party).

4.10 Maintenance of Equipment. The equipment of the Loan Parties shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such equipment shall be maintained and preserved, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party shall use or operate its equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation except to the extent such violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party's agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.12 ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Other Document, as regards each applicable Loan Party who is a registered and beneficial owner of Pledged ULC Shares, such Loan Party owns and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document is intended to or shall constitute Agent or any person other than a Loan Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Loan Party and all further steps are taken so as to register Agent or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 4 or in any Other Document does not make Agent a successor to any Loan

-138-

---

Party as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or any Other Document or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Agent or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Loan Party would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to Agent or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision herein or in any Other Document would have the effect of constituting Agent to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and therefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or any Other Document or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Other Document to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that Agent or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither Agent nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by Agent or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, Agent to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Agent or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

XI.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1 Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Event of Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents to which it is a party, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA, the Australian PPSA and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market,

-170-

---

Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party.    Solely in connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, solely during any period that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent is granted a royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use, all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature;

(viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,

(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be

-171-

---

construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

(c)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of the Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of the Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of the Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Loan Parties wherein Collateral of the Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of the Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Loan Parties directly in carrying on the Loan Parties' business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

11.2 Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3 Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's Collateral held by Agent and such Lender or any of the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Agent and each Lender agree to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of any such setoff; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

-172-

---

11.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

-174-

XIII.TERMINATION.

13.1    Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect Agent's or any Lender's rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until Payment in Full. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers' Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until Payment in Full or each Borrower has furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Borrower waives any rights which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and/or the Australian PPSA to demand the filing of termination and/or discharge statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination and/or discharge statements to each Borrower, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until Payment in Full.    All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until Payment in Full.

XIV.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and

-175-

---

thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.4 the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent's discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,

-176-

---

enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent (provided that no notice to or approval of Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype

-177-

---

or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

14.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10 Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any

Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

-178-

---

14.11 Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time within the time periods required under this Agreement all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12 No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Law.

14.13 Other Agreements.    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an

"Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later

-179-

---

than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.14(b),

(c)Each Lender, Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (Or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Agent's notice to such Lender or Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its loans (but not its commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or

-180-

---

such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the loans (but not commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or Secured Party under the Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights").

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party's obligations under this Section 14.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of all of the commitments and/or repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Other Document.

14.15 Collateral Matters.

(a)The Secured Parties (including Agent, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, and each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as holders of Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following (and each such Person agrees and consents to the same): (1) to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full, (ii) in connection with any Permitted Disposition (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that the transaction is a Permitted Disposition (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),

(iii) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned any interest at the time Agent's Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, (v) upon any property that had previously been Collateral becoming Excluded Property (and Agent agrees to file any Uniform Commercial Code, PPSA or Australian PPSA amendment or other document to evidence such release upon request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers certify to Agent that such property that had previously been Collateral has become Excluded Property pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereby (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry)), (vi) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Borrower or Guarantor, upon release of such Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, or

(vii) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 14.15; and (2) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and any Other Document in its capacity as a Borrower or Guarantor thereunder, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (A) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law), (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or any applicable Debtor Relief Law, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such

sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion

-182-

---

of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.

-196-

---

Required Lenders, or (4) upon Payment in Full, release any Guarantor or Borrower without the consent of all Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Issuer, or any other rights or duties of Issuer under this Agreement or the Other Documents, without the written consent of Issuer, Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(B)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Swing Loan Lender, or any other rights or duties of Swing Loan Lender under this Agreement or the Other

Documents, without the written consent of Swing Loan Lender, Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(C)No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or the Other Documents, without the written consent of Agent, Borrowers and the Required Lenders;

(D)Anything in this Section 16.2(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any Other Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lenders among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of any Loan Party, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender; and

(E)The Fee Letter may only be amended with the consent of Agent and Borrowers (it being understood that no Lender's consent shall be required).

(c)Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

-197-

---

(d)In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to Agent or to another Lender or, with the consent of Agent, to any other Person designated by Borrowing Agent (the "Designated Lender"), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or, with the consent of Agent, the Borrowing Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent, or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, Borrowing Agent and Agent.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,

(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.    If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables" or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral.    In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.    To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a

-198-

---

Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances ("Protective Advances") to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed $8,500,000 in the

aggregate and provided further that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 7.1, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons; provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10, (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a

-199-

---

greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and in lieu of providing the documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e) to Agent and Borrower, such Participant shall provide such documentation to the participating Lender which shall hold such documentation on its behalf, and on behalf of the Agent and the Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 this Agreement and the Other Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury

Regulations and its successor, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law. 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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and Borrowing Agent (which may be withheld in Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion), provided that no such consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required if (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and/or the Term Loan under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, Borrowing Agent (unless such consent is not required pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d)[Reserved].

-200-

---

(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due to each such Lender hereunder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register and any Participant Register be maintained such that the Loans are in registered form for the purposes of the Code. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender.

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality terms applicable to Agent and Lenders in this Agreement (or such other terms as Borrowing Agent may reasonably agree).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4 Application of Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, monitor, debtor in possession, receiver, interim receiver, custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5 Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on,

16.9 Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (w) one primary counsel for all Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, (x) solely in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional primary legal counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole), (y) to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Agents and Lenders or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, taken as a whole and (z) regulatory or specialty counsel in each relevant specialty) in connection with collection hereunder or the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Agent's regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of any Loan Party's books, records and business properties, solely to the extent reimbursable under Section 3.4(b) or Section 4.7.

(e)Upon written notice to the Borrower by the Agent that the Purchase Date has occurred, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, treat B. Riley as holder of the Obligations and a representative designated by B. Riley shall be deemed appointed to act in such capacity as agent (the "Replacement Agent") under the Credit Agreement and the Other Documents for all purposes hereunder and under the Credit Agreement and each Other Document (it being agreed that the Agent shall have no obligation to act as such replacement "agent" (or in

-5-

---

any analogous capacity)). In connection with any purchase of Obligations in accordance with this Section 10, the Agent and each other Secured Party shall (i) enter into and deliver to B. Riley on the Purchase Date, as a condition to the occurrence of the Purchase Date, a customary assignment agreement (which shall be based on Exhibit 16.3 to the Credit Agreement or otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) (the "Assignment Agreement"), and (ii) promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following written notice to the Borrower by the Agent that the Purchase Date has occurred, deliver all possessory collateral (if any), together with any necessary endorsements and other documents, then in its possession, or turn over control as to any pledged collateral, deposit accounts or securities accounts of which it then has control, as the case may be, to the Replacement Agent, and deliver the Register, if applicable, and all other material records pertaining to the Obligations to the Replacement Agent and otherwise take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect an orderly transition to the Replacement Agent, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties; provided, that the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable law, expose the Agent or any other Secured Party to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the assignment of any Lien held by the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents without recourse or warranty. Upon written notice to the Borrower by the Agent that the Purchase Date has occurred, the Agent shall be deemed to have resigned as "agent" for the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents; provided, that the Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of a former "agent" under the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding the purchase of the Obligations in accordance with this Section 10, the Agent and the other Secured Parties shall retain the rights to indemnification and payment of expenses from the Loan Parties (each as provided in Section 16.5 of the Credit Agreement) and other obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents which by their express terms would survive any repayment of the Obligations.

(f)Except as expressly provided in Section 10(b), B. Riley's obligations set forth herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2 hereof) shall not be delayed, affected, or otherwise modified by the occurrence of a Repayment Trigger Event.

(g)The Borrower hereby consents to the assignment of the Obligations to B. Riley in accordance with this Section 10 notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 16.3 thereof) to the contrary.

11.Waivers. The obligations of B. Riley under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be performed regardless of (a) whether the Agent or any Lender shall have exercised any of its rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement or any Other Document, (b) the validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any Other Document or of any of the Advances or other Obligations or of any security therefor, (c) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect which might in any manner affect any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement or any Other Document or any of the rights of the Agent and/or any Lender as against any Loan Party, (e) the merger or consolidation of any Loan Party into or with any other Person or any sale or transfer by any Loan Party of all or any part of its property, (e) the commencement or pendency of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case, other insolvency proceeding or other liquidation proceeding, dissolution or winding-up of any Loan Party (each, a "Proceeding") or (f) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of B. Riley), including, without limitation, any circumstance which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of B. Riley, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or defense available to, a surety or guarantor (other than Payment in Full of the Obligations), it being the parties' purpose and intent that the respective obligations of B. Riley under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, and shall not thereafter be discharged except by payment and performance as provided in this Agreement. B. Riley agrees not to deduct from or set-off against any amounts that may be owing by any of them hereunder, any claims that it may now or hereafter have against any Loan Party, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person. B. Riley acknowledges and agrees that upon any breach by B. Riley of any of its obligations under this Agreement, none of the non-breaching parties hereto will have any adequate remedy at law, and accordingly each such non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance and other appropriate injunctive and equitable relief against the breaching party, and accordingly, B. Riley hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which may be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance in any

-6-

---

action brought against any breaching party for specific performance of this Agreement by any non-breaching party. Further, B. Riley hereby irrevocably agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Debtor Relief Laws, this Agreement shall be fully enforceable in any insolvency proceeding and that this Agreement (regardless of whether this Agreement is deemed to be an executory contract within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code) may be assumed by Holdings or the Borrowers, without the consent of B. Riley. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, B. Riley waives any rights, defenses or benefits it may possess under Sections 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code that would, directly or indirectly, prevent or restrict Holdings or the Borrowers (or any trustee of Holdings or each Borrower's estate) from assuming this Agreement (regardless of whether this Agreement is deemed to be an executory contract within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code) without the consent of B. Riley or any other Loan Party or from otherwise enforcing the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the Agent have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral pledged to secure the Obligations before seeking satisfaction B. Riley under this Agreement, and the Agent may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of the Agent's rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may have as security for all or any portion of the Obligations.

12.Costs of Enforcement. B. Riley, Holdings and each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, in each case, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney fees) of the Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto in accordance with Section 16.9 of the Credit Agreement.

13.Miscellaneous.

(a)    All notices, requests and demands to or upon any party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 16.6 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)    The provisions of Sections 12.3 and 16.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated hereby by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if specifically set forth herein.

(c)    No purported amendment or modification of this Agreement, or waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by B. Riley, Holdings and the Agent. 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 this Agreement. 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. This Agreement represents the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement merge into this Agreement.

(d)    This Agreement shall be binding upon B. Riley, the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any of those entities as debtors-in-possession, or any trustee or any other representative of any of their bankruptcy estates) and shall inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders) and their respective successors and assigns. None of B. Riley, Holdings or the Borrowers may assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. This Agreement is not being made for the benefit of any persons other than those identified above, and no person other than those identified above shall have any rights hereunder.

Period”), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

3.Exercise of Warrant.

(a)Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i)surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive office (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft, or destruction in accordance with Section 7(a) hereof), together with an Exercise Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii)payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Company by the following methods:

(i)by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price (a “Cash Exercise”);

(ii)by withholding Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y(A - B) ÷ A

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), if such exercise were by means of a Cash Exercise.

A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

                or

4

        

4902-6075-1441 v.3

---

(iii)any combination of the foregoing.

If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issuable via a Cashless Exercise. In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause 3(b)(ii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.

(c)Delivery of Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, surrender of this Warrant, and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the completion of the last of those conditions to be completed, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder (x)(1) a book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise or (2) if the Warrant Shares are issued in certificated form, a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with (y) cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share, as provided in Section 3(d) hereof. The book-entry position shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 6 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

(e)Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(f)Buy-In. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, if after the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company fails to deliver (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company) the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in

uncertificated form) or the certificate or certificates (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in certificated form) being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) together with any cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share as provided in Section 3(d), and if after such failure, the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then (i) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such exercise, by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by the Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in uncertificated form) or the certificate or certificates (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in certificated form) for the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c), together with any cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share as provided in Section 3(d) upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a).

(g)Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents, covenants, and agrees:

(i)The Company (A) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (B) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, to issue and enter into this Warrant and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (C) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and would not be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or operations of the Company, is qualified to do business and, where applicable is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

(ii)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(iii)All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens, and charges.

(iv)The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay (x) any tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of net income of any Holder, (y) any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid and (z) any legal fees or expenses of the Holder in connection with such exercise. The Holder agrees to promptly provide any forms or other documentation reasonably requested by the Company to reduce or eliminate any such taxes or other governmental charges, in each case to the extent the Holder is legally eligible to do so.

(h)Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with an offering of the Warrant Shares or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(i)Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(j)No Material Changes. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (A) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be required to be obtained by the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, and (C) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Warrant Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Warrant Shares are listed or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the Company from repurchasing or otherwise buying back shares of its Common Stock.

(k)Required Filings. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings required by The Nasdaq Stock Market.

4.Effect of Certain Events.

(a)Adjustment to Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up, or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (each, a “Fundamental Change”), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such Fundamental Change, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such Fundamental Change if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such Fundamental Change and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any shares, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Changes. In the case of any Fundamental Change, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Fundamental Change, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) acknowledging such successors’ obligations under this Section 4(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Fundamental Change contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(a), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4(a) with respect to this Warrant.

(b)Adjustment of Warrant Upon Spin-off. If, at any time after the Original Issue Date but prior to the exercise hereof, the Company shall distribute equity of one or more of its divisions or Subsidiaries to its stockholders (or consummate any other transactions commonly known as a “spin off”) (such transaction, a “Spin-Off” and such newly created entity, the “Spin-off Entity”), then the Company (i) shall issue to the Holder a new warrant to purchase, at the Exercise Price, the number of shares of common stock or other proprietary interest in the Spin-off Entity (and any other consideration) that the Holder would have owned had the Holder exercised or converted this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such spin-off and (ii) shall make provision therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such Spin-Off. Such new warrant shall provide for rights and obligations which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the rights and obligations provided for in this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(b) (and any equivalent thereof in any such new warrant) shall apply to successive transactions.

(c)Stock Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a), as applicable, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (A) make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or any other distribution payable in Common Stock of the Company or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, or (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, the kind and amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event (or, in the case of a dividend, immediately prior to the record date therefore) and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4(c) with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

(d)Adjustment in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of the Warrants is adjusted as provided in Section 4(c), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

(e)Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), other than as described in Section 4(c) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then in each such case provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distributions, provided, that no such provision shall be made with respect to all or any portion of this Warrant if the Holder receives, substantially simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, the Extraordinary Dividend.

(f)Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(g)Notices. In the event:

(i)that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution described in Section 4(c) or Section 4(e), to vote at a meeting (other than an annual meeting for which a definitive proxy statement has been filed) (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;

(ii)of any Spin-Off;

(iii)of any Fundamental Change; or

(iv)of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company;

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Company or other applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes or backup withholding on behalf of the Holder as a result of an adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) (or any other adjustment, non-adjustment, or distribution with respect to the Warrant treated for U.S. tax purposes as a distribution to which Section 301 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applies), the Company or other applicable withholding agent may, at its option, set off such payments against payments or other deliveries on the Warrant; provided if the Company or other applicable withholding agent believes that any such withholding may apply, prior to the applicable event the Company shall request from the Holder a duly executed IRS Form W-9, and if the Holder provides such IRS Form W-9 neither the Company nor any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to set off or otherwise reduce payments to the Holder in respect of such withholding.

5.Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all rights hereunder are transferable to any Person, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, provided, however, that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all rights hereunder shall not be transferred unless and until the Holder has given the Company a written notice of the portion of this Warrant or the shares of the Warrant Shares being transferred, such notice to set forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, the anticipated date of such transfer, and surrendering this Warrant or the certificates or book-entry records representing shares of the Warrant Shares, as applicable, to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) and complied with Section 8(b)(ii) hereof.

Such new warrant shall be identical in all other respects to this Warrant.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

7.Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a)Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows (and any transferee or assignee of the Holder is deemed to represent as of the date of such transfer or assignment as if it were the Holder):

(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may not be resold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (x) without an effective registration statement for such Warrant or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws, or (y) unless Holder shall have delivered or caused its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent to the Company the necessary legal opinions or instruction letters required by the transfer agent to the Company, if any, to the effect that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or such portion of this Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred under an exemption from such registration. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

19.Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection of this Warrant is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

20.Valuation Dispute Resolution. In the case of any dispute as to the determination of the Fair Market Value of any Common Stock, Warrant Shares or Extraordinary Dividends to be issued, withheld or otherwise determined, the calculation of the Aggregate Exercise Price or any other computation or valuation of Fair Market Value required to be made hereunder or in connection herewith (including the Valuation under Section 10), in the event the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, are unable to settle such dispute within ten (10) Business Days, then either party may elect to submit the disputed matter(s) for resolution by an accounting firm of nationally recognized standing as may be mutually agreed upon by the Holder and the Company. Such firm’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of the accounting firm pursuant to this Section 20 shall be borne by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the aggregate portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Company claims the Fair Market Value is $1,000 for a given property and the Holder contests that the Fair Market Value of such property is only $500 (i.e., $500 is being contested) and if the accounting firm ultimately resolves the dispute by determining a Fair Market Value of $800 for such property, then the costs and expenses of the accounting firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Holder and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Company.

21.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING AS TO VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD PERMIT OR REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. The Company and Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the federal courts for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such courts, solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Holder irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Warrant and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, or with respect to any such action or proceeding, shall be heard and determined in such a New York federal court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto shall be exclusive, except solely to the extent that all such courts shall lawfully decline to exercise such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Holder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that it is not subject to such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Holder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Warrant may not be enforced in or by such courts. The Company and Holder hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action

or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

22.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

ARTICLE 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01Registration Rights.

(a)Shelf Registration Statement. On or prior to the later of (a) two (2) Business Days after the date of this Agreement or (b) the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a “shelf” registration statement (i) on Form S-1 (or any successor form) or (ii) if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form), on Form S-3 (in either case, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), providing for, pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise, the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of, the maximum number of Registrable Securities (or otherwise designate an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC to cover the Registrable Securities), including the Warrant Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Warrant outstanding at that time, and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts, subject to the provision by each Holder of all information reasonably requested by the Company for such purposes, to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise, for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness (including by refiling such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires) until the date on which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 3.01. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Shelf Registration Statement (but excluding any documents incorporated by reference therein) will be made by the Company without providing the Holders’ outside counsel at least three (3) Business Days to review and comment reasonably and in good faith thereon.

(b)Take-Downs. Each Holder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement by delivering a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that such Holder and any Other Holders (as applicable) intend to (i) sell $2 million or more worth of Registrable Securities in the aggregate among such Holder and any Other Holders (which Take-Down Notice shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be sold by such Holder) on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering or (ii) distribute Registrable Securities (which Take-Down Notice shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be distributed by such Holder) on the Shelf Registration Statement (each, a “Shelf Offering”). The Company shall, reasonably promptly, in a manner reasonably agreed with such Holder (and based on such agreement within a time frame reasonably necessary to facilitate the distribution contemplated, including, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any Marketed Underwritten Offering, within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any Non-Marketed Underwritten Offering or within one (1) Business Day after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any other Shelf Take-Down, as applicable), amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the contemplated Shelf Offering. The Holders and the Other Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities and the Other Registrable Securities to be sold in such Shelf Offering shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) for any Shelf Offering conducted pursuant to a Take-Down Notice, subject to the Company’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders and the

4

4926-8617-2753 v.3

---

Other Holders may demand, pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), not more than four (4) Shelf Offerings in any twelve (12)-month period in the aggregate.

(c)Withdrawal Rights. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing a Shelf Offering, any Holder shall have the right, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Company, to withdraw from such Shelf Offering any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration; provided that one or more Holder(s) may elect to have the Company continue a Shelf Offering. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable Shelf Offering and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). If withdrawn, a demand for a Shelf Offering (other than the first Shelf Offering withdrawn following the date of this Agreement, if any (provided such Shelf Offering was withdrawn prior to the issuance of a press release announcing the launch of such Shelf Offering)) shall constitute a demand for a Shelf Offering by the Holders for purposes of Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02Suspension. (i) Upon issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act; (ii) if the Board determines, in its good faith judgment, that any such registration or offering (x) should not be undertaken because it would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any pending negotiation or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, in each case that, if consummated, would be material to the Company or (y) upon the advice of counsel, would require the Company, under applicable securities laws and other laws, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests; provided, that this exception (y) shall continue to apply only during the time that such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material; or (iii) if the Company elects at such time to offer Equity Securities to (x) fund a merger, third-party tender offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or (y) meet rating agency and other capital funding requirements (collectively, “Suspension Events”), then the Company may delay the filing of, or suspend use of, the Shelf Registration Statement, by providing written notice to the Holders, until such circumstance is no longer continuing but in any event not to exceed sixty (60) days (such period, a “Postponement Period”); provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to commence a Postponement Period pursuant to this Section 2.02 more than ninety (90) days in any twelve-month period. In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon receipt of written notice from the Company, the use of any prospectus relating to the registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell the Registrable Securities.

Section 2.03Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a)If the Company proposes to register shares of Company Common Stock under the Securities Act for a sale that will occur (other than pursuant to a registration (i) on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (ii) S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to an equity incentive plan) promulgated by the SEC or any successor or similar forms or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”), it will give written notice of such Piggyback Underwritten Offering to the Holders, which notice shall include the anticipated filing date of the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and, if known, the

5

4926-8617-2753 v.3

---

number of shares of Company Common Stock that are proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and of such Holders’ rights under this Section 2.03. Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date of filing of the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable). If such notice is delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03, each Holder shall then have five (5) Business Days after the date on which such Holder received notice pursuant to this Section 2.03 to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities). If no request for inclusion from any Holder is received within such period, the Holders shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.03(b) below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to include by the Holders; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, the Company or such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable, shall determine for any reason not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the Holders and (A) in the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and (B) in the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in including the shares of Company Common Stock to be sold for the Company’s account or for the account of such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto.

(b)Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter of the Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company in writing of its good faith belief that the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of shares of Company Common Stock that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, to the extent of the total number of securities which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without so materially adversely affecting such offering, shares of Company Common Stock in the following priority:

(i)If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of the Company, (A) first, all shares of Company Common Stock that the Company proposes to include for its own account, (B) second, the securities requested to be included pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 26, 2025 (the “OT RRA”), by and among B. Riley Financing, Inc., RPVOF Broker CTB, LLC, OPIF Broker Holdings, L.P., Oaktree-Copley Investments, LLC, OPPS XII Broker E Holdings, L.P., and OCM SSF III Broker Debt Holdings, L.P, (C) third, the Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders and the Other Holders shall be included on a prorated basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested by each of them to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, as applicable, and (D) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

6

4926-8617-2753 v.3

(g)(A) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA, and (B) comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including without limitation all corporate governance requirements;

(m)use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the issuance of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Company Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction use, and in the event any such order is issued, use reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order;

(e)otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Holders with such customary assistance as is reasonably requested.

the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Holders and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, insofar as such Losses arise out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein relating to a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or based on any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and relating to any action or inaction in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and will reimburse each such Covered Person for any reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss, provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in such Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Covered Person for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.09 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company.

(b)Indemnification by the Holders. As a condition to including the Warrant Shares in any Shelf Registration Statement filed in accordance with ARTICLE 2 hereof, the Holders will indemnify, severally and not jointly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein relating to a sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in connection with a sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and will reimburse, severally and not jointly, the Company, such directors and controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the obligations of the Holders hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of the Holders shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement containing such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holders have otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Losses or any substantially similar Losses arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; or (iii) in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Parties may exist in respect of such claim; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any ongoing obligations on the Indemnified Party.

(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable 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, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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 (or omitted) 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 any such action, statement or omission.

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that

13

4926-8617-2753 v.3

---

does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.09(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 2.09(b)above by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

Section 2.10Information. Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Registrable Securities proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this ARTICLE 2and the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from any registration statement or prospectus if such Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time.

Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.01Assigns and Transferees. Any Holder may assign all or a portion of its rights hereunder to any Person to which such Holder has transferred all or any of its Registrable Securities to (i) any Affiliate of the Holder or (ii) to any other Person if such Person receives Registrable Securities representing at least 100% of the Warrant Shares initially issuable to the Initial Holder pursuant to the Warrant on the date of this Agreement; provided, that such transferee shall only be admitted as a party hereunder and become a Holder upon its execution and delivery of a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Joinder Agreement”), whereupon such Person shall be treated as a Holder for all intents and purposes of this Agreement, with rights, benefits and obligations hereunder as such transferring Holder with respect to the transferred Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder hereunder may transfer Registrable Securities, or its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder, to any Person who is not an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act), and such transferee will provide such customary representations and warranties as may be reasonably required by the Company to that effect. Except as provided in the preceding two sentences, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Period”), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

3.Exercise of Warrant.

(a)Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i)surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive office (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft, or destruction in accordance with Section 7(a) hereof), together with an Exercise Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii)payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Company by the following methods:

(i)by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price (a “Cash Exercise”);

(ii)by withholding Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y(A - B) ÷ A

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), if such exercise were by means of a Cash Exercise.

A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

                or

4

        

4935-0523-3970 v.2

---

(iii)any combination of the foregoing.

If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issuable via a Cashless Exercise. In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause 3(b)(ii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.

(c)Delivery of Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, surrender of this Warrant, and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the completion of the last of those conditions to be completed, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder (x)(1) a book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise or (2) if the Warrant Shares are issued in certificated form, a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with (y) cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share, as provided in Section 3(d) hereof. The book-entry position shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 6 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

(e)Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(f)Buy-In. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, if after the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company fails to deliver (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company) the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in

uncertificated form) or the certificate or certificates (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in certificated form) being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) together with any cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share as provided in Section 3(d), and if after such failure, the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then (i) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such exercise, by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by the Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the book-entry statement representing the Warrant Shares (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in uncertificated form) or the certificate or certificates (in the case of Warrant Shares issued in certificated form) for the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c), together with any cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share as provided in Section 3(d) upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a).

(g)Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents, covenants, and agrees:

(i)The Company (A) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (B) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, to issue and enter into this Warrant and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (C) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and would not be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or operations of the Company, is qualified to do business and, where applicable is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

(ii)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(iii)All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens, and charges.

(iv)The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay (x) any tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of net income of any Holder, (y) any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid and (z) any legal fees or expenses of the Holder in connection with such exercise. The Holder agrees to promptly provide any forms or other documentation reasonably requested by the Company to reduce or eliminate any such taxes or other governmental charges, in each case to the extent the Holder is legally eligible to do so.

(h)Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with an offering of the Warrant Shares or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(i)Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(j)No Material Changes. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (A) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be required to be obtained by the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, and (C) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Warrant Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Warrant Shares are listed or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the Company from repurchasing or otherwise buying back shares of its Common Stock.

(k)Required Filings. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings required by The Nasdaq Stock Market.

4.Effect of Certain Events.

(a)Adjustment to Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up, or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (each, a “Fundamental Change”), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such Fundamental Change, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such Fundamental Change if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such Fundamental Change and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any shares, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Changes. In the case of any Fundamental Change, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Fundamental Change, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) acknowledging such successors’ obligations under this Section 4(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Fundamental Change contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(a), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4(a) with respect to this Warrant.

(b)Adjustment of Warrant Upon Spin-off. If, at any time after the Original Issue Date but prior to the exercise hereof, the Company shall distribute equity of one or more of its divisions or Subsidiaries to its stockholders (or consummate any other transactions commonly known as a “spin off”) (such transaction, a “Spin-Off” and such newly created entity, the “Spin-off Entity”), then the Company (i) shall issue to the Holder a new warrant to purchase, at the Exercise Price, the number of shares of common stock or other proprietary interest in the Spin-off Entity (and any other consideration) that the Holder would have owned had the Holder exercised or converted this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such spin-off and (ii) shall make provision therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such Spin-Off. Such new warrant shall provide for rights and obligations which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the rights and obligations provided for in this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(b) (and any equivalent thereof in any such new warrant) shall apply to successive transactions.

(c)Stock Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a), as applicable, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (A) make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or any other distribution payable in Common Stock of the Company or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, or (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, the kind and amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event (or, in the case of a dividend, immediately prior to the record date therefore) and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4(c) with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

(d)Adjustment in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of the Warrants is adjusted as provided in Section 4(c), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

(e)Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), other than as described in Section 4(c) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then in each such case provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distributions, provided, that no such provision shall be made with respect to all or any portion of this Warrant if the Holder receives, substantially simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, the Extraordinary Dividend.

(f)Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the amount of other shares of stock, securities, or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the applicable Exercise Price.

(g)Notices. In the event:

(i)that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution described in Section 4(c) or Section 4(e), to vote at a meeting (other than an annual meeting for which a definitive proxy statement has been filed) (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;

(ii)of any Spin-Off;

(iii)of any Fundamental Change; or

(iv)of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting, or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such Fundamental Change, Spin-Off, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Fundamental Change, Spin-Off, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Company or other applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes or backup withholding on behalf of the Holder as a result of an adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) (or any other adjustment, non-adjustment, or distribution with respect to the Warrant treated for U.S. tax purposes as a distribution to which Section 301 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applies), the Company or other applicable withholding agent may, at its option, set off such payments against payments or other deliveries on the Warrant; provided if the Company or other applicable withholding agent believes that any such withholding may apply, prior to the applicable event the Company shall request from the Holder a duly executed IRS Form W-9, and if the Holder provides such IRS Form W-9 neither the Company nor any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to set off or otherwise reduce payments to the Holder in respect of such withholding.

5.Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all rights hereunder are transferable to any Person, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, provided, however, that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all rights hereunder shall not be transferred unless and until the Holder has given the Company a written notice of the portion of this Warrant or the shares of the Warrant Shares being transferred, such notice to set forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, the anticipated date of such transfer, and surrendering this Warrant or the certificates or book-entry records representing shares of the Warrant Shares, as applicable, to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) and complied with Section 8(b)(ii) hereof. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive office with a properly completed and duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the making of such transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Such new warrant shall be identical in all other respects to this Warrant.

(b)Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows (and any transferee or assignee of the Holder is deemed to represent as of the date of such transfer or assignment as if it were the Holder):

(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may not be resold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (x) without an effective registration statement for such Warrant or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws, or (y) unless Holder shall have delivered or caused its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent to the Company the necessary legal opinions or instruction letters required by the transfer agent to the Company, if any, to the effect that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or such portion of this Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred under an exemption from such registration. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the

13.Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court specified in Section 20, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

14.Entire Agreement. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

15.Successor and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. Such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.

16.Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Warrant shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party, this Warrant shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No provision of this Warrant is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

17.Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.

18.Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Warrant, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Warrant, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

19.Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection of this Warrant is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

20.Valuation Dispute Resolution. In the case of any dispute as to the determination of the Fair Market Value of any Common Stock, Warrant Shares or Extraordinary Dividends to be issued, withheld or otherwise determined, the calculation of the Aggregate Exercise Price or any other computation or valuation of Fair Market Value required to be made hereunder or in connection herewith (including the Valuation under Section 10), in the event the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, are unable to settle such dispute within ten (10) Business Days, then either party may elect to submit the disputed matter(s) for resolution by an accounting firm of nationally recognized standing as may be mutually agreed upon by the Holder and the Company. Such firm’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of the accounting firm pursuant to this Section 20 shall be borne by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the aggregate portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Company claims the Fair Market Value is $1,000 for a given property and the Holder contests that the Fair Market Value of such property is only $500 (i.e., $500 is being contested) and if the accounting firm ultimately resolves the dispute by determining a Fair Market Value of $800 for such property, then the costs and expenses of the accounting firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Holder and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Company.

21.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING AS TO VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD PERMIT OR REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. The Company and Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the federal courts for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such courts, solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Holder irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Warrant and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, or with respect to any such action or proceeding, shall be heard and determined in such a New York federal court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto shall be exclusive, except solely to the extent that all such courts shall lawfully decline to exercise such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Holder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that it is not subject to such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Holder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Warrant may not be enforced in or by such courts. The Company and Holder hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action

or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

22.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

ARTICLE 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01Registration Rights.

(a)Shelf Registration Statement. On or prior to the later of (a) two (2) Business Days after the date of this Agreement or (b) the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a “shelf” registration statement (i) on Form S-1 (or any successor form) or (ii) if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form), on Form S-3 (in either case, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), providing for, pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise, the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of, the maximum number of Registrable Securities (or otherwise designate an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC to cover the Registrable Securities), including the Warrant Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Warrants outstanding at that time, and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts, subject to the provision by each Holder of all information reasonably requested by the Company for such purposes, to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise, for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness (including by refiling such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires) until the date on which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 3.01. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Shelf Registration Statement (but excluding any documents incorporated by reference therein) will be made by the Company without providing the Holders’ outside counsel at least three (3) Business Days to review and comment reasonably and in good faith thereon.

(b)Take-Downs. Each Holder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement by delivering a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that such Holder and any Other Holders (as applicable) intend to (i) sell $2 million or more worth of Registrable Securities in the aggregate among such Holder and any Other Holders (which Take-Down Notice shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be sold by such Holder) on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering or (ii) distribute Registrable Securities (which Take-Down Notice shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be distributed by such Holder) on the Shelf Registration Statement (each, a “Shelf Offering”). The Company shall, reasonably promptly, in a manner reasonably agreed with such Holder (and based on such agreement within a time frame reasonably necessary to facilitate the distribution contemplated, including, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any Marketed Underwritten Offering, within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any Non-Marketed Underwritten Offering or within one (1) Business Day after the receipt of a Take-Down Notice for any other Shelf Take-Down, as applicable), amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the contemplated Shelf Offering. The Holders and the Other Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities and the Other Registrable Securities to be sold in such Shelf Offering shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) for any Shelf Offering conducted pursuant to a Take-Down Notice, subject to the Company’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders and the

4

4902-8643-1793 v.3

---

Other Holders may demand, pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), not more than four (4) Shelf Offerings in any twelve (12)-month period in the aggregate.

(c)Withdrawal Rights. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing a Shelf Offering, any Holder shall have the right, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Company, to withdraw from such Shelf Offering any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration; provided that one or more Holder(s) may elect to have the Company continue a Shelf Offering. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable Shelf Offering and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). If withdrawn, a demand for a Shelf Offering (other than the first Shelf Offering withdrawn following the date of this Agreement, if any (provided such Shelf Offering was withdrawn prior to the issuance of a press release announcing the launch of such Shelf Offering)) shall constitute a demand for a Shelf Offering by the Holders for purposes of Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02Suspension. (i) Upon issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act; (ii) if the Board determines, in its good faith judgment, that any such registration or offering (x) should not be undertaken because it would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any pending negotiation or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, in each case that, if consummated, would be material to the Company or (y) upon the advice of counsel, would require the Company, under applicable securities laws and other laws, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests; provided, that this exception (y) shall continue to apply only during the time that such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material; or (iii) if the Company elects at such time to offer Equity Securities to (x) fund a merger, third-party tender offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or (y) meet rating agency and other capital funding requirements (collectively, “Suspension Events”), then the Company may delay the filing of, or suspend use of, the Shelf Registration Statement, by providing written notice to the Holders, until such circumstance is no longer continuing but in any event not to exceed sixty (60) days (such period, a “Postponement Period”); provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to commence a Postponement Period pursuant to this Section 2.02 more than ninety (90) days in any twelve-month period. In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon receipt of written notice from the Company, the use of any prospectus relating to the registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell the Registrable Securities.

Section 2.03Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a)If the Company proposes to register shares of Company Common Stock under the Securities Act for a sale that will occur (other than pursuant to a registration (i) on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (ii) S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to an equity incentive plan) promulgated by the SEC or any successor or similar forms or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”), it will give written notice of such Piggyback Underwritten Offering to the Holders, which notice shall include the anticipated filing date of the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and, if known, the

number of shares of Company Common Stock that are proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and of such Holders’ rights under this Section 2.03. Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date of filing of the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable). If such notice is delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03, each Holder shall then have five (5) Business Days after the date on which such Holder received notice pursuant to this Section 2.03 to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities). If no request for inclusion from any Holder is received within such period, the Holders shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.03(b) below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to include by the Holders; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, the Company or such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable, shall determine for any reason not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the Holders and (A) in the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and (B) in the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in including the shares of Company Common Stock to be sold for the Company’s account or for the account of such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto.

(b)Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter of the Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company in writing of its good faith belief that the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of shares of Company Common Stock that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, to the extent of the total number of securities which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without so materially adversely affecting such offering, shares of Company Common Stock in the following priority:

(i)If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of the Company, (A) first, all shares of Company Common Stock that the Company proposes to include for its own account, (B) second, the securities requested to be included pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 26, 2025 (the “OT RRA”), by and among B. Riley Financing, Inc., RPVOF Broker CTB, LLC, OPIF Broker Holdings, L.P., Oaktree-Copley Investments, LLC, OPPS XII Broker E Holdings, L.P., and OCM SSF III Broker Debt Holdings, L.P, (C) third, the Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders and the Other Holders shall be included on a prorated basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested by each of them to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, as applicable, and (D) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

(ii)If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, (A) first, all shares of Company Common Stock that such Persons propose to include, (B) second, securities requested to be included pursuant to the OT RRA, (C) third, the Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders and the Other Holders shall be included on a prorated basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested by each of them to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, as applicable, and (D) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

Section 2.04Registration Procedures.

(g)(A) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA, and (B) comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including without limitation all corporate governance requirements;

(h)use reasonable best efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(m)use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the issuance of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Company Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction use, and in the event any such order is issued, use reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order;

(e)otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Holders with such customary assistance as is reasonably requested.

4902-8643-1793 v.3

---

their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, direct and indirect equityholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Holders and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, insofar as such Losses arise out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein relating to a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or based on any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and relating to any action or inaction in connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and will reimburse each such Covered Person for any reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss, provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in such Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Covered Person for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.09 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company.

(b)Indemnification by the Holders. As a condition to including the Warrant Shares in any Shelf Registration Statement filed in accordance with ARTICLE 2 hereof, the Holders will indemnify, severally and not jointly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein relating to a sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in connection with a sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and will reimburse, severally and not jointly, the Company, such directors and controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the obligations of the Holders hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of the Holders shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement containing such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission (less the aggregate amount of any damages which

12

4902-8643-1793 v.3

---

the Holders have otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Losses or any substantially similar Losses arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; or (iii) in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Parties may exist in respect of such claim; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any ongoing obligations on the Indemnified Party.

(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable 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, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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 (or omitted) 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 any such action, statement or omission.

13

4902-8643-1793 v.3

---

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.09(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 2.09(b) above by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

Section 2.10Information. Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Registrable Securities proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this ARTICLE 2 and the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from any registration statement or prospectus if such Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time.

ARTICLE 3
TERMINATION

Section 3.01Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any further action by any Person, upon the earlier of (i) the written agreement of each party hereto to terminate this Agreement; (ii) the date upon which the Holders cease to hold any Registrable Securities; and (iii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of Section 2.08, Section 2.09 and Article 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.01Assigns and Transferees. Any Holder may assign all or a portion of its rights hereunder to any Person to which such Holder has transferred all or any of its Registrable Securities to (i) any Affiliate of the Holder or (ii) to any other Person if such Person receives Registrable Securities representing at least 100% of the Warrant Shares initially issuable to the Initial Holders pursuant to the Warrants on the date of this Agreement; provided, that such transferee shall only be admitted as a party hereunder and become a Holder upon its execution and delivery of a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Joinder Agreement”), whereupon such Person shall be treated as a Holder for all intents and purposes of this Agreement, with rights, benefits and obligations hereunder as such transferring Holder with respect to the transferred Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder hereunder may transfer Registrable Securities, or its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder, to any Person who is not an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act), and such transferee will provide such customary representations and warranties as may be reasonably required by the Company to that effect. Except as provided in the preceding two sentences, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 4.01 shall be void.
