III. | INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest on the Revolving Facility and Term Loan

Commencing on December 14, 2020, interest on the outstanding principal amount of Advances and Term Loan Advances shall (a) accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined below) for such interest period plus the Applicable Margin, rounded upward to the nearest 0.125 percent (0.125%) (the “Applicable Rate”), and for purposes hereof, if the Applicable Rate would be less than three and three-quarters percent (3.75%), then the Applicable Rate shall be deemed to be three and three-quarters percent (3.75%), and (b) be due and payable on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until the Obligations are paid in full. Interest shall accrue by reference to the LIBOR Rate with a LIBOR interest period of one (1)

25

month plus the Applicable Margin. All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. For the purposes hereof, the term “Adjusted LIBOR Rate” shall mean a rate per annum determined by dividing (x) the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR interest period by (y) a percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%) minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage (as defined below). For the purposes hereof, the term “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” shall mean relative to any day of any LIBOR interest period, the maximum aggregate (without duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve requirements (including all basic, emergency, supplemental, marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements) under any regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto as issued from time to time and then applicable to assets or liabilities consisting of “Eurocurrency Liabilities”, as currently defined in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, having a term approximately equal or comparable to such LIBOR interest period.

3.2 Origination Fee

On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) as a fully earned nonrefundable origination fee.

3.3 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits

All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as applicable. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith. All fees hereunder shall be non-refundable, and deemed fully earned when due and payable.

3.4 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under the Agreement or under any Loan Document in respect of such determination on such date and all

26

determinations on all subsequent dates. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective as of the Reference Time on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, or in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Borrower without any amendment to this Agreement or further action or consent of Borrower.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Lender will promptly notify Borrower of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below, and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Lender pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” 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 sole discretion and without consent from Borrower.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time, if the Benchmark at such time is Term SOFR and LIBOR for the applicable tenor is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion, Lender may (i) modify this Agreement for all determinations of interest at or after such time to remove such unavailable tenor, and (ii) if Term SOFR or LIBOR, as applicable, for the applicable tenor is displayed on such screen or information service after its removal pursuant to clause (i) above, modify this Agreement for all determinations of interest at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

3.5 Default Rate of Interest

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may increase the Applicable Rate of interest in effect at such time with respect to all Obligations without notice to the Default Rate which Default Rate shall continue post-judgment and subsequent to the effective date of any applicable Debtor Relief Law unless the statutory post-judgment rate of interest is higher in which case such statutory rate shall apply and such Default Rate shall continue post-bankruptcy.

(a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article XI above, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in any Loan Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of any Loan Party held by Lender to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens created under the Loan Documents, (iii) realize upon, take possession of and sell any Collateral or securities pledged with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as any Loan Party, as applicable, might exercise, (v) collect and send notices regarding the Collateral with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which Collateral or pledged securities are located, or render any of the foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral or pledged securities on such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and no Loan Party shall resist or interfere with such action, (vii) at Loan Party expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made available to Lender at any place designated by Lender, (viii) reduce or otherwise change the Facility Cap or the Term Loan Commitment, and (ix) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or securities pledged or any Lien thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, at any time that a Loan Party fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii) discharge taxes or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan document unless the Loan Party is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; or (iv) pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and advances shall be added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Lender and shall be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Lender. Loan Party hereby waive any and all rights that they may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following the occurrence of an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that notice received by it at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to

52

speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Loan Parties. At any sale or disposition of Collateral or securities pledged, Lender may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by Borrower which right is hereby waived and released. Loan Parties covenant and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any of their Subsidiaries to, interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Lender, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, shall not be required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process.

12.2 Application of Proceeds

In addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing, renting, selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon exercise of its remedies hereunder shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the payment of interest; (ii) second, to the payment of current principal; (iii) third, to the payment of late charges and other fees; (iv) fourth, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such collection, storage, lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or delivery and of conducting Loan Parties’ business and of maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of or to the Collateral, and to the payment of all sums which Lender may be required or may elect to pay, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments that Lender may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in each such case, in-house documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (v) fifth, to the payment of all remaining outstanding Obligations, including principal, in such order or preference as Lender may determine; (vi) sixth, to the satisfaction of Indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest of record in the Collateral if written notification of demand therefor is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed, provided, that if requested by Lender, the holder of a subordinate security interest shall furnish reasonable proof of its interest, and unless it does so, Lender need not address its claims; and (vii) seventh, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Loan Party, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, that Loan Party shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or any of the other items referred to in this section.

12.3 Rights of Lender to Appoint Receiver

Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell or dispose the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Loan Parties and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the

53

receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably consents to and waives any right to object to or otherwise contest the appointment of a receiver as provided above. Each Loan Party (i) grants such waiver and consent knowingly after having discussed the implications thereof with counsel, (ii) acknowledges that (A) the uncontested right to have a receiver appointed for the foregoing purposes is considered essential by Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (B) the availability of such appointment as a remedy under the foregoing circumstances was a material factor in inducing Lenders to make the Loans to Borrower and (iii) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, agrees to enter into any and all stipulations in any legal actions, or agreements or other instruments required or reasonably appropriate in connection with the foregoing, and to cooperate fully with Lender in connection with the assumption and exercise of control by any receiver over all or any portion of the Collateral.

12.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Lender’s rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document, applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Lender described in any Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

12.5 Standards for Exercising Remedies

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonably manner, Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) 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, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Loan Parties, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) 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 capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of

54

Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants or other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Loan Parties further acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 12.5 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what acts or omissions by Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other acts or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 12.5. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 12.5 shall be construed to grant any rights to Loan Parties or to impose any duties upon Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 12.5.

XIII. | WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

13.1 Waivers

Except as expressly provided for herein, Loan Parties hereby waive setoff, counterclaim, demand, presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document. Loan Parties hereby waive any and all defenses and counterclaims they may have or could interpose in any action or procedure brought by Lender to obtain an order of court recognizing the assignment of, or Lien of Lender in and to, any Collateral. With respect to any action hereunder, Lender conclusively may rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Loan Parties in acting upon, any request or other communication that Lender reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized on Loan Parties’ behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the incumbency certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(d) hereof. In each such case, Loan Parties hereby waive the right to dispute Lender’s action based upon such request or other communication, absent manifest error.

13.2 Delay; No Waiver of Defaults

No course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any provision of any Loan Document, or single or partial exercise of any such provision, or delay, failure or omission on Lender’s part in enforcing any such provision shall affect the liability of any Loan Party or operate as a waiver of such provision or affect the liability of any Loan Party or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any party to any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express terms and provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, by completing the Closing under this Agreement and by making Advances, Lender does not waive any breach of any representation or warranty under any Loan Document, and all of Lender’s claims and rights resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are specifically reserved.

55

All parties acknowledge that they participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that, accordingly, no party shall move or petition a court construing this Agreement to construe it more stringently against one party than against any other.

15.2 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Borrower (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Lender without such consent shall be null and void), except to any Eligible Assignee. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the related parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Lender may, at any time, without the consent of Loan Parties, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Facility). For purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” means (x) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Person (other than a natural Person or a competitor of Borrower) that is (i) an Affiliate of Lender, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, or other Person that (x) is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933), (y) is engaged in the a business of making commercial loans and (z) has a capital and surplus in excess of $250,000,000 or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar to that of

Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Agreement, and Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement only with respect to the assigned interest (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Section 15.4). Loan Parties hereby agree to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Maryland a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Assignee Register”). The entries in the Assignee Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Assignee Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Assignee Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Lender may, at any time, without the consent of Loan Parties, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan and the Loans owing to it), other than to a natural Person or a competitor of Borrower; provided that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, Lender shall have no 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 the Revolving Facility, Term Loan or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Revolving Facility, any Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and 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.

15.3 Application of Payments

To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Lender. Any payments with respect to the Obligations received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as Lender shall decide in its sole discretion.

15.4 Indemnity

Each Loan Party jointly and severally shall indemnify Lender, its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, members, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, allocable costs of in-house counsel, and in-house diligence fees and expenses) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to or arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any matter related to, any Loan Document or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated thereby, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Person. If any Indemnified Person uses in-house counsel for any purpose for which any Loan Party is responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees that its indemnification obligations include reasonable charges for the costs allocable for such work of such in-house counsel. Lender agrees to give each Loan Party reasonable notice of any event of which Lender becomes aware for which indemnification may be required under this Section 15.4, and Lender may elect (but is not obligated) to direct the defense thereof, provided that the selection of counsel shall be subject to Loan Parties’ consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Person may, in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to investigate, defend or settle any event or take other remedial or corrective actions with respect thereto as may be necessary for the protection of such Indemnified Person or the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any insurer agrees to undertake the defense of an event (an “Insured Event”), Lender agrees not to exercise its right to select counsel to defend the event if that would cause any Loan Parties’ insurer to deny coverage; provided however, that Lender reserves the right to retain counsel to represent any Indemnified Person with respect to an Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Lender obtains recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the amounts that any Loan Party has paid to Lender pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 15.4, then Lender shall promptly pay to such Loan Party the amount of such recovery.

15.5 Notice

Any notice or request under any Loan Document shall be given to any party to this Agreement at such party’s address set forth beneath its signature on the signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this Section 15.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by, and shall be deemed to have been received upon (each, a “Receipt”): (i) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, on the date on which received as indicated in such return receipt, and (ii) delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, one Business Day after deposit with such courier.

59

15.6 Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures

If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Loan Documents which shall be given effect so far as possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and by facsimile or electronic transmission, which facsimile and/or electronic signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will be bound by its own facsimile and electronic signature and that it accepts the facsimile and electronic signature of each other party.

15.7 Expenses

Borrower shall pay, subject to the Closing occurring (except where failure of the Closing to occur is not a result of Lender’s determination not to close), all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, (i) in any effort to enforce, protect or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, (ii) in connection with entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and any related agreements, documents or instruments, (iii) arising in any way out of administration of the Obligations, (iv) in connection with instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing or foreclosing on Lender’s Liens in any of the Collateral or securities pledged under the Loan Documents, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (v) in defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender’s transactions with Loan Parties, (vi) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its rights and obligations under any Loan Document and any related agreement, document or instrument and (vii) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or extension of any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument. All of the foregoing shall be charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the Obligations, and each such amount so charged shall be deemed an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the Obligations, regardless of whether a Revolving Termination has occurred. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon or measured by Lender’s income or revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and recording of any documents or financing statements.

60

15.8 Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Loan Party are a party constitute the entire agreement between Loan Parties and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including the Original Credit Agreement). Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by Loan Parties and Lender. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Lender and Loan Parties. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof.

15.9 Lender Approvals

Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Lender with respect to any matter that is subject of any Loan Document may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

15.10 Confidentiality and Publicity

(a) Loan Parties agree, and agree to cause each of their Affiliates, (i) not to transmit or disclose provisions of any Loan Document to any Person (other than (w) to Loan Parties’ advisors, officers, directors, employees and consultants on a need-to-know basis, (x) to current and bona fide prospective stockholders, lenders and acquirers of the Loan Parties (and their respective advisors), (y) to the extent required to enforce the provisions hereof or (z) as otherwise may be required by law) without Lender’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person (except to the extent permitted herein) and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Loan Parties agree to submit to Lender and Lender reserves the right to review and approve all materials intended for public distribution that Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates prepares that contain Lender’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, use Lender’s name (or the name of any of Lender’s Affiliates) in connection with any public announcements, advertising, marketing or press releases or such other similar purposes, without Lender’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates to contract on behalf of Lender. Loan Parties hereby agree that Lender or any Affiliate of Lender may, with the prior written consent of Loan Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, (ii) use Borrower’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes and (iii) disclose any and all information concerning the Loan Documents, as well as any information regarding Loan Parties and their operations, received by Lender in connection with the Loan Documents to its lenders or funding or financing sources, so long as Lender informs all such Persons of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person (except to the extent permitted herein) and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Lender may use confidential information for reporting purposes, including to Governmental Authorities and Lender’s regulators, and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated

61

and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender shall not use any information obtained from or relating to the Loan Parties for any purpose unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby.

15.11 Patriot Act Verification

Lender hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Anti-Terrorism Laws and regulations, Anti-Corruption Laws and regulations, the Bank Secrecy Act, or any other applicable laws or amendments thereto, and pursuant to Lender’s policies and compliance programs established pursuant to such laws (such laws and Lender’s policies and compliance programs, together “Regulatory Requirements”), Lender shall be entitled to obtain, verify and record information that identifies certain individuals that (a) hold a direct or indirect interest of certain threshold percentages of ownership in an entity, as such percentages are established pursuant to Regulatory Requirements, (b) are guarantors of the Loans, or (c) have management control of a Borrower, which includes such information that will allow Lender to identify such individuals in accordance with Regulatory Requirements. Consequently, Lender may from time to time request, and Borrower, as applicable, shall provide to Lender, each such individual’s name, address, tax identification number, passport number, and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such purposes (the “Due Diligence Information”). Lender may, from time to time as it may deem necessary in its sole discretion in order to comply with Regulatory Requirements, provide a form for completion by Borrower which Borrower shall promptly complete and return to Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender with at least ten (10) Business Days advance notice of (i) any transfer of any direct Equity Interest in Borrower resulting in a Person directly owns in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) (or such other percentage as is then in effect under Regulatory Requirements) of Equity Interests of Borrower and (ii) any change in management control of a Borrower (each, a “Regulatory Review Transfer”). Upon Lender’s request in connection with such Direct Regulatory Review Transfer, Borrower shall provide the Due Diligence Information to Lender. Within ten (10) Business Days after receiving knowledge of any Indirect Regulatory Review Transfer resulting in a Person indirectly owns in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) (or such other percentage as is then in effect under Regulatory Requirements) of Equity Interests of Borrower, Borrower shall notify Lender of such Indirect Regulatory Review Transfer. Upon Lender’s request in connection with any Indirect Regulatory Review Transfer, Borrower shall provide the Due Diligence Information to Lender.

15.12 Setoff

Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prior notice to an Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by Loan Parties, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by Lender and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Loan Parties against any and all of the Obligations of Loan Parties now or hereafter existing to Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured.

62

15.13 Reaffirmation and No Novation

Borrower and Guarantors, by their signatures below, hereby (a) affirm and confirm their grant of security interests and other commitments and obligations, as applicable, under the Original Credit Agreement, and the Loan Documents as defined therein, and (b) confirm and agree that all of their commitments and obligations, as applicable, under the Original Credit Agreement and the Loan documents as defined therein, shall continue to be in full force and effect following the effectiveness of this Agreement, as the same may be further amended and restated. This Agreement shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents defined therein or discharge or release the Liens or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained or any return of and/or notation as “Replaced” on any Loan Documents shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents defined therein or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby or thereby or any return of and/or notation as “Replaced” on any Loan Documents shall be construed as a release or other discharge of Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents from any of their respective obligations and liabilities thereunder except as may be contemplated by this Agreement.

15.14 Agreement Controls

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE

AGREEMENT

This UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 14, 2020 by each of the entities listed on the signature pages hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantor”) in favor of EagleBank (“Lender”).

For and in consideration of all extensions of credit, loans and other financial accommodations provided by Lender to Sweetgreen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), which loans were and will be made pursuant to a First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Delayed Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement among Borrower, Lender, Guarantor and the entities that become parties thereto as guarantors, dated as of December 14, 2020, as amended from time to time, and any and all modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (the “Credit Agreement”), Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment of all amounts Borrower owes Lender arising under the Credit Agreement and documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), and Borrower’s performance of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents according to their terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 1 - GUARANTEE

1.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall upon demand by Lender immediately pay all amounts due thereunder (including, without limitation, all principal, interest and fees) and satisfy all of Borrower’s payment obligations under the Loan Documents (“Guarantor Obligations”).

1.2 The obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor in the first instance as a primary obligation of Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Documents.

1.3 Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, extend or otherwise change the terms of the Loan Documents or any part thereof; (b) take security for the payment due under this Agreement or the Loan Documents; (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security; and (d) apply any security and direct its sale as Lender, in its discretion, chooses.

1.4 Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against Borrower or any other Person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or any other Person; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power whatsoever. Lender may, at its election, exercise, decline or fail to exercise, any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Lender, including without limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other guarantor. Guarantor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower may have against Lender. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower. Until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full (i) Guarantor shall not exercise right of subrogation or reimbursement for claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) Guarantor shall not exercise right of contribution or other similar rights against Borrower, (iii) Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against Borrower and (iv) Guarantor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Lender that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Guarantor, Lender shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

1.5 Guarantor and, by its acceptance of this Agreement, Lender hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Guarantor Obligations not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Guarantor Obligations. To effectuate the foregoing intention, Lender and Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantor Obligations at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guarantor Obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

1.6 If Borrower becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future Debtor Relief Law of any applicable jurisdiction, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any Indebtedness or obligations under the Credit Agreement are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other Guarantor or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 2 - GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

2.1 To secure the payment and performance of all of the Guarantor Obligations when due, Guarantor hereby grants Lender, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, together with all Guarantor’s books relating to the Collateral, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to the replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral. If Guarantor shall acquire a material commercial tort claim, Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by Guarantor of the general details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (i) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Guarantor of any foreign subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter; (ii) any intent-to-use trademarks at all times prior to the filing of an amendment to allege use of the trademark under 15 U.S.C. 1051(c) or the filing of a verified statement of use under 15 U.S.C. 1051 (d) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or (iii) any license or contract, in each case if the granting of a Lien in such license or contract is prohibited by or would constitute a default under the agreement governing such license or contract (but (A) only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law and (B) other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-408 or 9-409 (or any other Section) of the UCC); provided that upon the termination, lapsing or expiration of any such prohibition, such license or contract, as applicable, shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of Lender hereunder and become part of the “Collateral.”

2.2 Guarantor hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Guarantor, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition or pledge of the Collateral, by either Guarantor or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the UCC. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender’s discretion.

SECTION 3 - PLEDGE

3.1 As security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Guarantor Obligations, Guarantor hereby pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender, a first priority security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

(a) the shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital of such entities or any

3

successors in interest thereto) by Guarantor (the “Pledged Shares”), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other monies and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing. On the date hereof, any certificate or certificates representing the Pledged Shares (to the extent such Pledged Shares are certificated) will be delivered to Lender, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Guarantor. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Pledged Shares, Guarantor shall cause the books of each entity whose Pledged Shares are part of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Pledged Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral (including but not limited to the Pledged Shares) into the name of Lender and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Lender or its transferee;

(b) all voting trust certificates held by Guarantor evidencing the right to vote any Pledged Shares subject to any voting trust and

(c) all additional shares and voting trust certificates of the entities listed on Exhibit A from time to time acquired by Guarantor in any manner (which additional shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and any certificates representing such additional shares (to the extent such additional shares are certificated), and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledged Collateral does not include more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Guarantor of any foreign subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter.

3.2 Guarantor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, in each case imposed by any Governmental Authority, against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves or other appropriate provisions are being maintained by such Person in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of Guarantor, and upon the failure of Guarantor to do so, contemporaneous with written notice thereof from Lender to Guarantor, Lender at its option may pay any of them.

3.3 In the event that during the term of this Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new, substituted and additional shares, options or other securities, issued or issuable to Guarantor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by Lender under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.

3.4 So long as no Event of Default is continuing, Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms.

(a) Guarantor shall, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Lender to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Guarantor forms any direct or indirect Material Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Material Subsidiary after the Effective Date, Guarantor shall (i) cause such new Material Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or a n y Control Agreements, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (including being sufficient to grant Lender a first priority Lien in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Material Subsidiary), (ii) provide to Lender appropriate certificates and powers, if applicable, and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Material Subsidiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and (iii) provide to Lender all other documentation reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the foregoing in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Any document, agreement or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be a Loan Document.

(c) Guarantor shall provide Lender with all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

5.2 So long as Lender has any commitment to make Loans to any Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any Borrower has any Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) outstanding under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor, upon obtaining any shares of capital stock or other equity securities that should be pledged pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, shall promptly deliver to Lender a duly executed Pledge Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (a “Pledge Supplement”) identifying such additional shares of capital stock or other equity securities. Guarantor hereby authorizes Lender to attach each Pledge Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all shares of capital stock or other equity securities listed thereon shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral.

5.3 Guarantor shall not create, incur, allow or suffer any Lien on any of its property, including without limitation its intellectual property, or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Permitted Liens, permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted herein or enter into any agreement, document, instrument or other arrangement (except with or in favor of Lender) with any Person which directly or indirectly prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon, or encumbering Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property.

SECTION 6 - EVENTS OF DEFAULT

6.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Collateral. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not limited to the Collateral or any exercise by Lender of rights and remedies against the same, and Lender may pursue any other available rights and remedies against Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Collateral if Lender deems it in its best interests to do so.

6.2 During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its election, apply, set off, collect or sell in one or more sales, or take such steps as may be necessary to liquidate and reduce to cash in the hands of Lender in whole or in part, with or without any previous demands or demand of performance or notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral in such order as Lender may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any broker’s board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, provided, however, that if such disposition is at private sale, then the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral shall be equal to the public market price then in effect, or, if at the time of sale no public market for the Pledged Collateral exists, then, in recognition of the fact that the sale of the Pledged Collateral would have to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and that the expenses of such registration are commercially unreasonable for the type and amount of collateral pledged hereunder, Lender and Guarantor hereby agree that such private sale shall be at a purchase price mutually agreed to by Lender and Guarantor or, if the parties cannot agree upon a purchase price, then at a purchase price established by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit Guarantor to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Guarantor would agree to do so. Lender may be the purchaser of any or all Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Guarantor or right of redemption. To the extent permitted by applicable law, demands of performance, notices of sale, advertisements and presence of property at sale are hereby waived. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by any officer or agent of Lender.

6.3 The proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Lender from or on account of such Pledged Collateral shall be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Lender in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys’ fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Lender in its discretion may determine.

6.4 Upon the transfer by Lender of all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Lender hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

9

SECTION 7 - MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other out of pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Lender in the enforcement of this Agreement. No terms or provisions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, revoked or amended without Lender’s and Guarantor’s prior written consent. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, all of the other provisions shall remain effective. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. No course of prior dealing among the parties, no usage of trade, and no parole or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms hereof. Lender may not assign this Agreement, except to an Eligible Assignee or with the consent of Borrower, in which case such assignment shall not in any way affect Guarantor’s liability under it. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is in addition to the guaranties of any other guarantors of the Obligations.

7.2 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of any Requirement of Law of any other jurisdiction. Each of Guarantor and Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the State of Maryland; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender or Guarantor, as the case may be

(b) expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court described in clause (a) above;

(c) waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by any such court described in clause (a);

(d) waives personal service of the summons, complaints and other process issued in such action or suit described above in this Section 7.2 and agrees that service of such summons, complaints and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Guarantor, at the addresses set forth on the signature page hereto and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Guarantor’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid; and

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

10

This Section 7.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.3 This Agreement may be executed in counterpart signature pages, all of which taken together shall be deemed to be one original of this instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

7.4 Lender hereby notifies the Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of each Guarantor and other information that will allow Lender to identify such Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act, and each Guarantor agrees to provide, or cause each Material Subsidiary to provide, such information from time to time to Lender. As required by federal regulation, the Loan is contingent upon satisfactory verification of identity of the signatories.

7.5 Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prior notice to Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by Lender and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations when due of Loan Parties now or hereafter existing to Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured.
