(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Lender on the Closing Date shall, in accordance with its Loan Commitment Ratio, pursuant to the request and direction of Borrower and, in accordance with such request and direction, in lieu of advancing funds to Borrower, issue REIT Shares (A) with an aggregate value of the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 1 (the value of such REIT Shares being hereafter referred to as a “Loan”) and (B) in an amount equal to such Loan divided by the REFI Strike Price determined as of the Closing Date, and (ii) such Lender shall deliver (A) the Redeeming Shares to Transfer Agent, on behalf of Borrower, to be used as partial consideration for the acquisition by Koach Fund Holdco of substantially all of the outstanding Equity Interests of Koach Fund Holdco pursuant to the Koach Funds Redemption Documents and (B) the Retained Shares to Transfer Agent, on behalf of Borrower, for deposit in a Securities Account of Parent maintained at Transfer Agent.

(b) Each Loan (i) when aggregated with each other Loan made hereunder (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all interest that is paid in kind at the PIK Interest Rate and deemed to be a part of the principal amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(b)), shall be in an amount not to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (ii) for each Lender, when aggregated with each other Loan made by such Lender hereunder (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all interest that is paid in kind at the PIK Interest Rate and deemed to be a part of the principal amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(b)), shall be in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Loan Commitment.

Each Loan may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Loan Commitments shall terminate concurrently with the advance of the Loans on the Closing Date.

** **

2.2 Disbursement of Loans.

(a) If all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 to the effectiveness of this Agreement are met prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, then, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion of the Loans to be made on the Closing Date in the manner provided in Section 2.2(b) no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to Borrower, including pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in immediately available funds and in Dollars to Administrative Agent in an account designated by Administrative Agent, and, following receipt thereof in such account, Administrative Agent will remit such amounts, in immediately available funds and in Dollars, as set forth in the Disbursement Letter dated the Closing Date or as elected by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2(c), as the case may be, on the Closing Date or the funding date elected by Lenders, as the case may be. The failure of any Lender to make available the amounts it is to fund to Borrower hereunder or to make a payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any payment required to be made by such other Lender under any Loan Document.

19

(c) At the election of Lenders (and without any obligation to elect to do so), any and all payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums, Lender Expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a request for the advance of Loans in the applicable amount on the date determined by Required Lenders, and each such payment shall be made from the proceeds of Loans made hereunder. Any such request shall be irrevocable, and any advance of Loans under this Section 2.2(c) shall be made by Lenders at the election of Lenders even if a Default or Event of Default exists.

Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments and obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments and obligations hereunder).

** **

2.3 Payments.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the outstanding principal of the Loans and interest due thereon on the Maturity Date or upon such earlier date on which the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Interest on the Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.5.

(c) The Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be due and payable as and when provided in the Loan Documents, or, if the date of payment is not specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.

(d) Payments due hereunder, under any other Loan Document or otherwise payable to Administrative Agent or its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds and free and clear of, and without condition, deduction for withholding for, any claim, counterclaim, defense, recoupment, setoff or Taxes not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due. Except as provided in the definitions of Biannual Payment Date and Payment Date, whenever any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, including the Maturity Date, the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any amount applied to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights, powers, remedies and privileges therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such amount had not been made or received. The provisions hereof shall survive the Maturity Date and payment in full of the Obligations.

(e) Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document by transfer to Administrative Agent’s or the applicable Lender’s account, as the case may be, pursuant to wire transfer instructions provided by Administrative Agent or such Lender, or, at the option of Administrative Agent or any Lender, in such manner and at such place in the United States as Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have designated to Borrower in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that all such payments to Administrative Agent and each Lender may be made, at the option of Administrative Agent or any such Lender, by ACH or other electronic payment pursuant to an Authorization Agreement for Pre-Authorized Payments (Debit) in a form approved by Administrative Agent. Other than as permitted by Section 2.5(b), in no event shall any payment due hereunder or under any other Loan Document be made in any manner other than in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(f) In addition to the foregoing, Borrower hereby irrevocably promises to pay all Obligations, including the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and interest and fees with respect to the foregoing, as the same become due and payable hereunder and, in any event, on the Maturity Date.

20

(g) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes for the account of Secured Creditors hereunder as to which Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (i) Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (ii) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (iii) Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment, then each applicable Secured Creditor severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Secured Creditor, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

** **

2.4 Prepayments.

(a) Borrower may not voluntarily prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without the consent of each Lender.

(b) Borrower shall prepay the Obligations (i) concurrently with receipt of, and in an amount equal to 100.00% of, the (A) Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrower in connection with any Asset Disposition other than any Permitted Asset Disposition described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof, (B) Net Cash Proceeds derived from the issuance of Equity Interests by any Borrower, (C) Net Cash Proceeds received by any Borrower in connection with any Casualty Event; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may use such monies, or any portion thereof, to repair, replace or restore the applicable damaged or destroyed assets, or reinvest such monies in its business, within 180 days (or such additional period to time to which Administrative Agent agrees in its discretion) of receipt of such monies (or within a period of 180 days (or such additional period to time to which Administrative Agent agrees in its discretion) thereafter if by the end of such initial 180-day period Borrower shall have entered into a legally binding agreement or commitment to invest such Net Proceeds), and (D) Extraordinary Receipts received by any Borrower and (ii) in the event that there shall be Excess Cash Flow for any month (commencing with the month ending January 31, 2027), Borrower shall, on each Biannual Payment Date, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Excess Cash Flow. Any mandatory prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and the applicable Make-Whole Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising from any event or action described in this Section 2.4(b) not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 2.4(e), all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be applied as follows: first, to all then unpaid fees and expenses of Administrative Agent; second, pro rata, to all then unpaid fees and expenses of Lenders; third, pro rata, to all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans; and fourth, pro rata, to the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity; provided, however, that the reduction of the aggregate principal balance of the Loans shall not affect the amount or timing of principal payments required under this Agreement until the balance of such payments is reduced to zero.

(d) All Collections in the Collections Account shall be applied as set forth in Section 3(b)(x) of the Management Agreement.

21

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent or any other Person pursuant to the exercise of rights, powers, remedies and privileges against the Collateral, and all payments received upon and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligations as follows (subject to adjustments pursuant to any agreements entered into among Lenders):

(i) first, to pay any costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and fees then due to Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates under the Loan Documents or otherwise, including any indemnities then due to Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(ii) second, ratably to pay any costs, expense reimbursements, fees or premiums of Lenders and indemnities then due to any Lender under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

(iii) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the outstanding Loans until paid in full (provided that, so long as the First Lien Debt has not been paid in full, any interest paid in cash above the Cash Interest Rate shall be paid only on each Biannual Payment Date with any Excess Cash Flow for the applicable period),

(iv) fourth, ratably to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity until the Loans are paid in full,

(v) fifth, to pay any other Obligations, and

(vi) sixth, to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(f) Except as otherwise required by Section 2.4(d) or 2.4(e), any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(b) may be declined in whole or in part by any Lender without prejudice to such Lender’s rights hereunder to accept or decline any future payments in respect of any mandatory prepayment. If a Lender chooses not to accept payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, the other Lenders that accept such mandatory prepayment shall have the option to share such proceeds on a pro rata basis (and if declined by all Lenders, such declined proceeds shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent to be held in the Collections Account). Each Lender shall have until the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such prepayment is due in order to decline such prepayment (and any election by a Lender delivered prior to such Business Day can be rescinded by such Lender at its discretion until such Business Day).

** **

2.5 Interest.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c), the unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest from the Closing Date at the Cash Interest Rate and such interest shall be due and payable in cash monthly on each Payment Date, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on August 3, 2026. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may elect to receive, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, the interest payment to be made to such Lender with respect to any or all of the Loans held by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) in kind instead of in cash, in which case such paid in kind interest that is accrued and unpaid and that has not been previously added to the principal amount of such Loans shall be added on the applicable Payment Date, and amounts so added shall thereafter be deemed to be a part of the principal amount of such Loans. A Lender making such election must deliver notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Borrower no later than two Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date.

22

(b) The unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall also bear interest from the Closing Date at the PIK Interest Rate, and such interest shall be due and payable in kind monthly on each Payment Date, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on August 3, 2026. On the first day of each month, such paid-in-kind interest that is accrued and unpaid and that has not been previously added to the principal amount of the Loans shall be added, and amounts so added shall thereafter be deemed to be a part of the principal amount of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may elect to, with respect to any Payment Date, pay the interest due thereon under this Section 2.5(b) in cash so long as Borrower gives Administrative Agent notice of such election at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date.

(c) All interest accruing while an Event of Default exists shall be paid upon demand, and all amounts chargeable to Borrower under *Section 2.6 *shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as applicable.

Interest on each Loan shall accrue for each day, from and including the date such Loan is made available to Borrower through and including the date of repayment in full.

** **

2.6 Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses.

(a) On the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the first date on which an Event of Default has occurred and (iii) the date of the prepayment of all Loans advanced under this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to, or at the direction of, Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of Lenders an exit fee in an amount equal to 2.50 multiplied by the Aggregate Commitment, which fee may be waived by in whole or in part, or increased, by the Lender party hereto on the Closing Date in its discretion.

(b) Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent or any Lender for its respective Lender Expenses, including legal fees, asset appraisal fees and accounting fees, incurred prior to the Closing Date in connection with the due diligence undertaken thereby, the approvals necessary for Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into the Loan Documents on the Closing Date or the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Loan Documents on the Closing Date. Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent and each Lender for all other Lender Expenses on demand.

(c) All fees to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with the Transactions: shall be fully earned by Administrative Agent and such Lender when due and payable; shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration under any circumstances; are and shall be deemed to be for compensation for services; and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.6 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents.

** **

2.7 Maximum Interest. 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: (a) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under applicable law; (b) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower; and (c) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

(c) Administrative Agent shall maintain for its books an account (the “Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations resulting from Loans, including the amount of principal and interest payable from time to time hereunder.

Any failure of Administrative Agent to make an entry in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the agreement of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. The entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute conclusive evidence of the information therein, absent manifest error.

** **

2.9 Application of Payments and Collections.

(a) Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or hereafter received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrower and agrees that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Administrative Agent and Lenders, shall have the continuing right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time hereafter against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable, subject to Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(e).

(b) Any and all proceeds of Collateral, payments and collections received by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Administrative Agent such that each Lender shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans) thereof.

(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 2.11 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

24

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.11, Loans shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Loan Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Loan Commitment Ratios, and no Loan Commitment Ratio of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Loans 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 Loans shall be applied to reduce such type of Loans of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Loan Commitment in accordance with their Loan Commitment Ratio; provided that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Administrative 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). Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.11(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder;

(ii) second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent;

(iii) third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(v) fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, then such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be deemed paid by Borrower to such Defaulting Lender for the applicable Obligations owing by Borrower to such Defaulting Lender and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement or the other Loan 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 Loans or a Loan Commitment; provided that this Section 2.11(c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.12(b).

25

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.11, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which Borrower, Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto.

(f) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may, within 30 days of receipt of notice of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, by notice in writing to Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and each other Lender, (i) request such Defaulting Lender to cooperate with Borrower in obtaining a replacement Lender; (ii) request the Non-Defaulting Lenders to acquire and assume all of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and its Loan Commitment as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; and (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, or if any one or more of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and its Loan Commitment, then such Defaulting Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 11.6, all of its Loans and its Loan Commitment and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender or Non-Defaulting 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 such Defaulting Lender. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights, powers, remedies and privileges that Borrower, any Guarantor, Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender.

Each Obligor shall (a) remain the sole and lawful owner of, and in possession of, (i) if such Obligor is Parent, the Parent Collateral, (ii) if such Obligor is Koach Fund Holdco, the Koach Fund Holdco Collateral, and (iii) otherwise, its assets, (b) use its assets only in its trade or business, (c) use and maintain its assets only in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and insurance policies, including all Environmental Laws, all US Federal Cannabis Laws and all US State Cannabis Laws, and (d) unless the applicable Obligor is Parent or Koach Fund Holdco, upon Administrative Agent’s request, affix plates, tags or other identifying labels to the Collateral showing ownership thereof by such Obligor and Administrative Agent’s security interest.

** **

9.4 Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 9, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Borrower or any other Guarantor or other Persons or whether Borrower, any other Guarantor or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the any Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Administrative Agent or such Lender has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any document evidencing or securing Indebtedness or any other obligation of Borrower or any other Guarantor shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Administrative Agent or such Lender receives actual payment on account of the Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of such Guarantor in respect of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.

** **

Subject to Section 10.11, each Secured Creditor may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

** **

9.9 Reinstatement.

(a) The provisions of this Section 9 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Administrative Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and it repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including Borrower or any other Obligor or any Pledgor); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Administrative Agent or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).

(b) No Secured Creditor shall be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of any Obligations.

(c) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by any Secured Creditor from any Person for the Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of such Secured Creditor, or assert any claim for any liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor, in priority to or equally with claims of any Secured Creditor for the Obligations, and Guarantors shall not be entitled to compete with any Secured Creditor with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by any Secured Creditor for the Obligations.

(d) If Borrower or any Guarantor makes any payment to any Secured Creditor, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

(e) All present and future monies payable by Borrower to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Creditors, as security for the liability of such Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Secured Creditors’ prior right to payment in full of Obligations. All monies received by any Guarantor from Borrower or any other Guarantor shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Secured Creditors. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

(f) Each of Borrower and Guarantors acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Borrower and each Guarantor agree to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

9.10 Action Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Lenders may, without notice to or demand upon Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, declare any obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 9 immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 9. Upon such declaration by Administrative Agent or Lenders, Administrative Agent and Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisions or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness or other liabilities at any time owing by Administrative Agent or Lenders to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder, whether or not Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder against Borrower or any other Person and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder are in addition to other rights, powers, remedies and privileges (including other rights of set-off) which Administrative Agent and Lenders may have. Upon such declaration by Lenders, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of each Guarantor against Borrower or any other Guarantors (for purposes of this Section 9.10, the “Claims”), each Secured Creditor shall have the full right on the part of such Secured Creditor in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, each Secured Creditor and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of such Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Secured Creditors and will pay to Secured Creditors forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Claims be represented by any notes or other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Administrative Agent, or if payable to such Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by such Guarantor.

9.11 Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by Borrower or any other Obligor or others (including any Lender) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of an Obligor or a Pledgor against Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

9.12 Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor under this Section 9, to the extent such amounts do not otherwise include interest accruing on the outstanding Obligations to the date all such amounts are actually paid by such Obligor, shall bear interest at the interest rate then chargeable with respect to the Loans.

Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Creditor) represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Creditor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Obligors Pledgors and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Creditor) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Creditor, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Obligors, Pledgors and their Affiliates.

** **

10.7 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors and without limiting the obligation of Obligors to do so), ratably according to their respective Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loan Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Loan Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

** **

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower.

If no applicable successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent in its applicable capacity by the date that is 20 days following such retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chicago Atlantic may resign as Administrative Agent, and choose a successor for such capacity, without notice to, or the consent of, Lenders (including Required Lenders) if such successor is an Affiliate of Chicago Atlantic.

Each Lender further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against any Obligor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) Subject to Section 11.19, if, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share of all such distributions by Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares; provided that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

(c) The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Creditor that is not Administrative Agent or a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Creditor agrees, as among Administrative Agent and all other Secured Creditors, that such Secured Creditor is bound by (and, if requested by Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent) this Section 10, including Sections 10.11(a) and 10.11(b), and the decisions and actions of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as set forth specifically herein, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to act in its discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Creditor, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Creditor thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Creditor or any such Obligation and (ii) except as specifically set forth herein, such Secured Creditor shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

(d) Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrower, any other Obligor or any Pledgor at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, such Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Should any Secured Creditor obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Secured Creditor shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Administrative Agent and take such other actions as agent or sub-agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized or directed by Administrative Agent.

Any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in Administrative Agent’s name without the necessity of joining any of the other Lenders. In any event, the recovery of any judgment by Administrative Agent shall be for the ratable benefit of all Secured Creditors, subject to the reimbursement of expenses and costs of Administrative Agent.

(b) Administrative Agent may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel) and the other Secured Creditors hereunder allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Obligor or any Pledgor, or any of their respective creditors or property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due to Administrative Agent for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

11.3 Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each Secured Creditor (and any of such Secured Creditor’s officers, employees or agents designated by such Secured Creditor), with full power of substitution, as such Person’s true and lawful attorney, in such Person’s name: (a) to endorse such Person’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s possession; (b) to sign such Person’s name on drafts against Account Debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts, on notices to Account Debtors and on any Account invoice or bill of lading; (c) to send requests for verification of Accounts, and to contact Account Debtors in any other manner to verify the Accounts; (d) after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Person’s mail to any address designated by Lenders, to receive and open all mail addressed to such Person, and to retain all mail relating to the Collateral and forward, within 10 Business Days of any Secured Creditor’s receipt thereof, all other mail to such Person; and (e) to do all other things necessary, permitted or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

11.5 Performance of Obligors’ Obligations. If any Obligor or any Pledgor shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, in its discretion at any time, for Borrower’s account and at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of any Obligor or any Pledgor hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent or such Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent or any Lender by Borrower on demand with interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 11.5 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

** **

11.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties, provided that none of Obligors or Pledgors may assign this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Any Lender may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right, power, remedy or privilege under, the Obligations and the Loan Documents without the consent of any Obligor or any Pledgor; provided, however, that the consent of Administrative Agent shall be obtained prior to any such action (unless such Lender is an Affiliate of Administrative Agent), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Nothing herein is intended to prevent, impair, limit or otherwise restrict the ability of a Lender to collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its interests in the Loans and the other rights and benefits under the Loan Documents to an unaffiliated third party lender of such Lender (each such Person, a “Collateral Assignee”); provided that unless and until Borrower receives notification from a Collateral Assignee of such assignment directing payments to be made to such Collateral Assignee, any payment made by Borrower for the benefit of such Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations thereunder to the extent of such payment. Borrower hereby acknowledge that Lenders and their Affiliates may pledge the Loans as collateral security for loans to Lenders or their Affiliates. Borrower shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with Lenders and their Affiliates to effect such pledges at the sole cost and expense of such Lender. Any such Collateral Assignee, upon foreclosure of its security interests in the Loans pursuant to the terms of such assignment and in accordance with applicable law, shall succeed to all the interests of or shall be deemed to be a Lender, with all the rights and benefits afforded thereby, and such transfer shall not be deemed to be a transfer for purposes of and otherwise subject to the provisions of this Section 11.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall remain responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in any applicable pledge or assignment, nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to impose any obligations upon or constitute an assumption by a Collateral Assignee thereof.

** **

11.7 General Indemnity. Each Obligor hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any Indemnified Claim that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Indemnified Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees under any Environmental Laws or with respect to any Environmental Liability of any Obligor. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of Administrative Agent or Lenders, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Obligor on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Obligors shall pay (or shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Indemnified Claims incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of each Obligor with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in favor of Administrative Agent and each Lender shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents.

** **


64

** **

11.8 Credit Inquiries. Each Obligor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof.

** **

11.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive the making of any extension of credit hereunder and the delivery of any Note and shall continue in full force and effect until the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of the Loan Documents.

** **

11.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under applicable law. If any provision is found to be invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

** **

11.11 Indulgences Not Waivers. The failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times to require strict performance by each Obligor or each Pledgor of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of Administrative Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision.

** **

11.12 Modification.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements, and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.12. Required Lenders may, or, with the prior written consent of Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may, from time to time, enter into with the relevant Obligors or Pledgors written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lenders, Obligors or Pledgors hereunder or thereunder, waive, on such terms and conditions as Required Lenders or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences or consent to any acts or omissions of Obligors or Pledgors hereunder or under any other Loan Document that, but for such consent, would constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder or thereunder; provided that no such waiver, amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver shall directly or indirectly:

(i) (A) reduce or forgive any portion of any Loan or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the stated interest rate (provided that only the consent of Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Sections 2.5(b) or 2.5(c)), or (B) reduce or forgive any portion or extend the date for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and other than as a result of a waiver or amendment of any mandatory prepayment of Loans (which shall not constitute an extension, forgiveness or postponement of any date for payment of principal, interest or fees)), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

65

(ii) amend or modify any provisions of Section 2.4(c) or 2.4(e) or any other provision that provides for the pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Lenders, in each case without the written consent of each Lender;

(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.12 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the term “Required Lenders” or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.3(b)), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iv) increase the aggregate amount of any Loan Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent; or

(vi) release (A) Borrower, (B) all or substantially all Guarantors under Section 9 (except as expressly permitted by Section 9), or (C) any Liens in favor of Administrative Agent or Lenders on all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Loan Documents (except as expressly permitted thereby and in Section 10.12), in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender; and

provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow an Obligor to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all Lenders.

** **

11.13 Counterparts.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterpart signature pages, and by the different parties on different counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will be deemed executed by the parties hereto when each has signed it and delivered its executed signature page to Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission, electronic transmission or physical delivery. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “DocuSign,” “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. No party hereto or to any other Loan Document shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, 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 recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.14 Governing Law; Consent to Forum. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to take effect as sealed instruments and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof (except for section 5-1401 and section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law), except to the extent otherwise provided in the Loan Documents. Each Obligor hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal court sitting in or with direct or indirect jurisdiction over the Southern District of New York or any state or superior court sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York, in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and each Obligor irrevocably agrees that all claims and demands in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Administrative Agent and each Lender reserves the right to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to preclude the enforcement by Administrative Agent or such Lender of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

** **

11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial and other Certain Rights.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto each hereby waive the right to trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim, crossclaim or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party with respect thereto. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into and accept this Agreement. Each Obligor has reviewed the foregoing waivers with their respective legal counsel and have knowingly and voluntarily waived their respective jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. This Section 11.15 shall not restrict a party from exercising rights, powers, remedies and privileges under the UCC or from exercising pre-judgment rights, powers, remedies and privileges under applicable law.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor hereby knowingly, intentionally and intelligently waives (with the benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own choosing): (i) notice prior to taking possession or control of any of the Collateral and the requirement to deposit or post any bond or other security which might otherwise be required by any court or applicable law prior to allowing Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of such Person’s self-help or judicial rights, powers, remedies and privileges to obtain possession of any of the Collateral; (ii) any claim against Administrative Agent or any Lender on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any of the Loan Documents, any transaction thereunder, the enforcement of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges by Administrative Agent or any Lender or the use of any proceeds of any loans; and (iii) notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Administrative Agent or any Lender.

** **

11.16 Additional Waivers. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges which it would otherwise have. Any waiver or indulgence granted by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing by Administrative Agent or any Lender at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document such as to require further notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Loan Document in the future. Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law.

** **


67

** **

11.17 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Neither (a) any stockholder or owner of any other Equity Interest in any Obligor or any Pledgor, (b) any employee or creditor of any Obligor or any Pledgor (other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates), nor (c) any other Person claiming by or through any Obligor or any Pledgor shall be entitled to rely on this Agreement or any other Loan Document or have any rights, remedies or claims against Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

** **

11.18 Pledge of Loans. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may pledge the Loans or its rights under any Loan Document as collateral security for loans to Lenders or their Affiliates. Obligors shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with Lenders and their Affiliates to effect such pledges at the sole cost and expense of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no pledge shall release the Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder.

** **

11.19 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (each, a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(e), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders 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 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. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.19 shall not apply to payments made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent consented to by Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights, powers, remedies and privileges of Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any other Obligor or any Pledgor, any such notice being expressly waived by Obligors to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Obligor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding deposit accounts that consist of cash collateral subject to Permitted Liens), and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

** **

11.20 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

** **

11.21 Reviewed by Attorneys. Each Obligor represents and warrants that it (a) understands fully the terms of this Agreement and the consequences of the execution and delivery hereof, (b) has been afforded an opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed by, and to discuss the same with, such attorneys and other persons as such Obligor may wish, (c) has exercised independent judgment with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) has not relied on any Secured Creditor or on any Secured Creditor’s counsel for any advice with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (e) has entered into this Agreement of its own free will and accord and without threat, duress or other coercion of any kind by any Person. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any Obligor, on the one hand, or any Secured Creditor, on the other hand, based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that Secured Creditors and Obligors contributed substantially to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.

** **

68

11.22 PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Obligor that it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor and each Pledgor pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, which information includes the name and address of such Obligor or such Pledgor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor or such Pledgor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

** **

11.23 Cannabis Laws. The parties acknowledge that although certain US State Cannabis Laws have legalized the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis and related products, (a) the nature and scope of US Federal Cannabis Laws may result in circumstances where activities permitted under US State Cannabis Laws may contravene US Federal Cannabis Laws, and (b) engagement in Restricted Cannabis Activities may also contravene US Federal Cannabis Laws. Accordingly, for the purpose hereof, each representation, covenant and other provision hereof relating to compliance with applicable law will be subject to the following qualifications: (x) engagement in any activity that is permitted by US State Cannabis Laws but contravenes US Federal Cannabis Laws, and in respect of which the applicable Governmental Authorities have agreed, or are bound by applicable law (e.g., the proposed Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act (H.R. 1595) and the proposed Clarifying Law Around Insurance of Marijuana (CLAIM) Act (H.R. 4074 and Senate Bill 2201)), to forego or otherwise suspend prosecution and enforcement of such US Federal Cannabis Laws will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be non-compliance with applicable law; (y) engagement in any Restricted Cannabis Activity will be deemed to be non-compliance with applicable law; and (z) if any Change in Law results in the business activities of any Obligor or any Pledgor becoming Restricted Cannabis Activities, such Change in Law will be deemed to have had a Material Adverse Effect.

** **

11.24 First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document conflicts with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the security interest evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subordinate, and (b) the Obligations evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subordinate and junior in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to the indebtedness and other liabilities owed under and pursuant to the First Lien Loan Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the First Lien Debt is Paid in Full (as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (z) any assignment or transfer of Collateral to be made hereunder to Administrative Agent shall be to First Lien Agent, (y) any delivery of any Collateral to Administrative Agent required hereunder shall be to First Lien Agent (as Administrative Agent’s bailee for perfection), (x) all items other required to be delivered to Administrative Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, stock certificates, distributions, dividends, instruments, chattel paper or other property paid or payable with respect to any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to First Lien Agent (as Administrative Agent’s bailee for perfection), and (w) all rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors hereunder shall be subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
