	 	2.	 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 



2.1 Credit Extensions 

(a) Revolving Line. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances in
an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. Whenever
Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will, (1) by no later than 2:00 pm on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made, (a) notify Bank by electronic mail, facsimile transmission or telephone and (b) deliver to Bank a Loan
Advance/Paydown Request Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B and (2) by no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Business Day on which the Advance is to be made, deliver to Bank a Loan Supplement and Borrowing Base
Certificate. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon written instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s reasonable discretion such
Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person listed herein as a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify
and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(a) to the Collateral Account designated by Borrower in the Loan Advance/Paydown
Request Form. Borrower shall use the proceeds of each Advance to finance the working capital of Borrower. 
 2.2
Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 
 (a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b),
Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a rate of interest equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Spread. 

(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) Business Days after the date such payment
is due, Bank shall notify Borrower. If Borrower has not made such payment within two (2) Business Days after receiving notice, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such unpaid
amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under Applicable Law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two (2.00) percentage
points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default. 
 (c) Payments;
Prepayments. 
 (i) Borrower promises to pay to Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrower hereunder in accordance with the terms herein. Borrower shall also pay interest 

  
 19 
















 
on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the last calendar day of each month during
the term hereof. Bank may, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts and Bank shall provide Borrower prompt notice of any such charge. Only if Borrower’s
deposit accounts lack sufficient funds to pay such amounts when due, Bank shall charge such amounts against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid
when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Failure of Bank to draw interest, Bank Expenses, and Periodic Payments from Borrower’s
deposit accounts in a timely manner shall not cause additional interest or penalties to accrue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, on the Revolving Maturity Date, all Advances under this Section shall be immediately due and
payable. Borrower may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium. 
 (ii) In the event that the amount of total Credit
Extensions exceeds the Revolving Line, promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days) Borrower shall prepay Advances in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total Credit Extensions does not exceed the Revolving Line.
 
 (iii) In the event that at any time the amount of total Credit Extensions exceeds the Borrowing Base (a
“Borrowing Base Deficiency”), promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days), Borrower shall prepay the Advances and/or deposit cash into a Collateral Account so that any such deficiency is promptly cured. 

(d) Computation. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred
sixty (360) day year (or a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, for Base Rate Advances) for the actual number of days elapsed. 

2.3 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire
transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be
immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented
for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business
Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest,
as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. 
 2.4 Fees. Borrower shall
pay to Bank the following: 
 (a) Revolving Facility Fee. A fully earned and
non-refundable facility fee equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), which fee shall be due and payable in installments of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) on the Closing Date
and (ii) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), on December 9, 2020; 

  
 20 
















 (b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, an amount equal to all Bank
Expenses reasonably incurred and documented through the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay Bank all reasonably incurred and documented Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they
become due. 
 (c) Commitment Fee. If on any anniversary of the Closing Date, the average daily Revolving Line
utilization is less than $25,000,000 for the prior 365-day period, Borrower shall pay Bank a commitment fee on such date which shall accrue at 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the
Revolving Line for such period. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each annual anniversary of the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 2.5 Term. This Agreement shall become
effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with notice to Borrower; provided that no such notice
shall be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.5. 

2.6 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such
payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law and, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of
Bank timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) Borrower shall indemnify Bank, within ten
(10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Bank or required to be withheld
or deducted from a payment to Bank, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Bank
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 21 
















 (d) Bank shall deliver to Borrower upon execution of this Agreement and at
the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit payments under the Loan Documents to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding (including, without limitation, a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all appropriate attachments) (or applicable successor
form)). In addition, Bank, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether Bank is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Bank agrees that, if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
Borrower of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than an IRS Form W-9
or IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor forms)) shall not be required to the extent Bank is not legally entitled to do so, or if in Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would subject Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Bank. 

(e) If Bank determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party
in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise
imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (f) If Bank requests
compensation under this Section 2.6, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of Bank pursuant to this Section 2.6, then Bank shall (at the request of
Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, 

  
 22 
















 
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.6, in the future, and
(ii) would not subject Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Bank. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
 (g) As soon as practicable after any payment of taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section 2.6, Borrower shall deliver to Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.6 shall survive any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Bank, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 (b) Collateral Accounts. 

(i) Borrower shall direct each Obligor under the Portfolio Investments (and each depository institution where payments with
respect to the Portfolio Investments are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Portfolio Investments to the Collateral Accounts. It will be considered an Event of Default if Borrower fails to direct each Obligor under the Portfolio

 6.9 Portfolio Valuation and Diversification Etc. 

(a) Portfolio Valuation, Etc. 

(i) Determination of Values. Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its
Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows: 
 (A) Quoted Investments External Review. With respect to
Eligible Portfolio Investments traded in an active and orderly market for which market quotations are readily available (“Quoted Investment”), Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market
value of such Quoted Investments that are included in the Borrowing Base, which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by Borrower (each such value, an “External Quoted
Value”): 
 (w) in the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the most recent bid prices as determined
by at least two Approved Dealers selected by Borrower with respect to such public and 144A securities or if only one bid price is available, such bid price, 

(x) in the case of Broadly Syndicated Loans, the average of the most recent bid prices as determined by at least two Approved
Dealers selected by Borrower or if only one bid price is available, such bid price, 
 (y) in the case of any Quoted
Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Eligible Portfolio Investment most recently posted on such exchange; and 

(z) solely to the extent clause (x) hereto does not apply, in the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market
value thereof as determined by an Approved Dealer. 
 (B) Unquoted Investments External Review. With
respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are included in the Borrowing Base for which market quotations are not readily available, including any Middle Market Loans (“Unquoted Investments”): 

(x) No less frequently than quarterly (each a “Valuation Testing Date”), Borrower shall test the values as of
such Valuation Testing Date of Unquoted Investments (such selected assets, the “IVP Tested Assets” and such value, the “IVP External Unquoted Value”); provided, that the fair value of such Portfolio
Investments tested by the Independent Valuation Provider as of any IVP Testing Date shall be at least (1) 25% of the aggregate value of the Eligible Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base and (2) with respect to any year-end Valuation Testing Date, 100% of the aggregate value of the Eligible Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base as of such Valuation Testing Date for the prior four-fiscal quarter period (in each
case, the determination of fair value for such percentage thresholds shall be based off of the last determination of value of the Portfolio Investments pursuant to this Section 6.9). Borrower shall promptly provide to Bank
copies of all reports prepared pursuant to this Section 6.9(a)(i)(B) by the Independent Valuation Provider. 

  
 31 
















 (y) To the extent clause (x) above doesn’t apply, the lowest of
(1) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment as determined by Borrower pursuant to 6.9(a)(ii)(C) and (2) the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment is
determined in accordance with clause (x) above (“Borrower Tested Assets”). 
 For the avoidance of
doubt, Unquoted Investments that are part of the Collateral but not included in the Borrowing Base shall not be subject to testing under this Section 6.9(a)(i)(B). 

(C) Internal Review. Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value of all Eligible
Portfolio Investments and shall conduct internal reviews with respect to the Eligible Portfolio Investments at least quarterly for the purpose of reviewing and discussing Borrower’s asset portfolio (including any known material changes to the
performance or value of any Portfolio Investment to the extent Borrower determines that the value of any such Portfolio Investment should be updated) (each such value established pursuant to this clause (C), an “Internal Value”).

 (D) Value of Quoted Investments. The “Value” of each Quoted Investment for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be the lower of (x) the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i)(C) and (y) the External Quoted Value of such Quoted Investment as
most recently determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i)(A). 
 (E) Value of Unquoted Investments.
If the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i)(C) falls above the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently
determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value; except that if an
Unquoted Investment is acquired during a fiscal quarter, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment shall be deemed to be equal to the lowest of (x) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment as determined by Borrower pursuant
to 6.9(a)(ii)(C) and (y) the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with Section 6.9(a)(i)(B) as at the Valuation Testing Date. 

(F) Actions Upon a Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, based upon such quarterly internal review, Borrower
determines that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two Business Days, deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions, and make
prepayments to the extent required by Section 2.2(c)(ii). 

  
 32 
















 (G) Failure to Determine Values. If Borrower shall
fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to the requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), then the
“Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero (until such Value is determined). 

(ii) Supplemental Testing of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank
shall have the right, solely for purposes of the Borrowing Base, to request in its reasonable discretion and no more than two (2) times per calendar year, any unquoted Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base with a value assigned by
Borrower (other than IVP Tested Assets as of the most recent IVP Testing Date) to be independently valued by an Independent Valuation Provider for purposes of the Borrowing Base. Subject to Section 6.9(a)(iii)(C) below, the
costs of any such valuation shall be at the expense of Borrower. If (x) the value of any Borrower Tested Asset is less than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this clause, then the value determined pursuant
to Section 6.9(a)(i) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement and (y) if the value of any Borrower Tested Asset determined pursuant to
Section 6.9(a)(i) is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is (1) less than or equal to 5% of the value determined pursuant to
Section 6.9(a)(i), then the value determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i) shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, (2) greater than 5% and less than or equal to 20% of
the value determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i), then the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall become the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i) and the
value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider, and (3) greater than 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i), then Borrower and Bank shall retain an additional third-party appraiser and, upon
the completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall become the average of the three valuations (with the average of the value of the Independent Valuation Provider and value determined pursuant to
Section 6.9(a)(i) to be used until the third value is obtained). 
 (iii)
Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions. 
 (A) The Value of any Portfolio Investment for which the
Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider. The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly
accepted in Borrower’s industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by the Obligors. Other procedures relating to the valuation will be reasonably agreed upon by Bank and Borrower. 

(B) All valuations shall be on a settlement-date basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the value of any Portfolio
Investments determined in accordance with any provision of this Section 6.9 shall be the Value of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement until a new Value for such Portfolio Investment is subsequently determined in good faith
in accordance with this Section 6.9. 

  
 33 
















 (C) The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of any valuation reasonably incurred by Bank under this Section 6.9 shall be at the expense of Borrower. 

(D) The foregoing valuation procedures shall only be required to be used for purposes of calculating the
Borrowing Base and related concepts and shall not be required to be utilized by Borrower for any other purpose, including, without limitation, the delivery of financial statements or valuations required under ASC820 or the Investment Company Act.

 (E) The Independent Valuation Provider shall be instructed to conduct its tests in a manner not disruptive
to the business of Borrower in any material respect. Bank shall notify Borrower of its receipt of the written final results of any such test within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt thereof and shall provide a copy of such results and
the related report to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s request. 
 (b) Investment
Company Diversification Requirements. Borrower (together with its subsidiaries to the extent required by the Investment Company Act) will at all times comply in all material respects with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements
set forth in the Investment Company Act applicable to business development companies.

“Transfer”) all or any part of its assets or other property, other than Transfers of securities, assets, cash and Equipment in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; provided that Borrower will not Transfer any Borrowing
Base Portfolio Investment if (a) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would result therefrom as demonstrated in a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered on or prior to the proposed Transfer date or (b) Borrower is not in compliance with the covenants
set forth in Section 6.7 on a pro forma basis; provided, further, that Borrower may Transfer all or any part of its assets or other property with the consent of Bank; provided further that Borrower will not Transfer any assets or other property

8.1 Payment Default. If a Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal on its due date,
(b) make any payment of interest on any Credit Extension within five (5) Business Days after such interest is due and payable (which five (5) Business Day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the Revolving Maturity Date) or
(c) pay any other Obligations within twelve (12) days after such Obligations are due and payable (which twelve (12) day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the Revolving Maturity Date). During any cure period, the failure
to make or pay any payment specified under clause (b) or (c) hereunder is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period); 

8.2 Covenant Default. If Borrower (i) fails to perform any obligation under Article 6, (ii) violates any of
the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement, or (iii) fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, and

Responsible Officer of Borrower has knowledge thereof; 
 8.3 Existence. If Borrower is dissolved or
Borrower’s existence is otherwise terminated or any action is taken to effect such termination or Borrower’s dissolution, or if Borrower fails to comply with any term of its Charter Documents beyond any applicable time for cure, that would
have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 8.4 Attachment. If any portion of assets directly owned by Borrower with a
value in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, assets held at special purpose vehicles with respect to which Borrower holds equity investments) is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or
distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within ten
(10) Business Days, or that Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon
any material portion of assets directly owned by 

  
 36 
















 
Borrower (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, assets held at special purpose vehicles with respect to which Borrower holds equity investments or Permitted Liens), or if a notice of lien,
levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to a material portion of assets directly owned by Borrower (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, assets held at special purpose vehicles with respect to which Borrower holds equity investments
or Permitted Liens) by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and, in each case, the same is not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower
receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions
will be required to be made during such cure period) or such occurrence would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

8.5 Insolvency or Bankruptcy. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by
Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding); 

8.6 Other Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to perform beyond any applicable cure period
in any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound resulting in a right by a third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness owed by Borrower thereunder in an amount in
excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); 
 8.7 Judgments. If a final,
non-appealable judgment or judgments rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) not
covered by independent third party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days (provided that no
Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment); 
 8.8 Misrepresentations.
If any material misrepresentation or material misstatement exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth herein or in any certificate delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Bank to
enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document, taken together with all such statements and certificates given to Bank and in light of the circumstances under which such statements and certificates were provided (it being recognized that the
projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected
or forecasted results) and such material misrepresentation or material misstatement (except to the extent such representation or misstatement could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) has not been cured by Borrower within five
(5) Business Days of Borrower obtaining actual knowledge of such material misrepresentation or material misstatement.

	 	9.	 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 



9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its
election, with notice of its election to Borrower (provided that no such notice shall be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.5), and without demand on Borrower, do any one or
more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower: 
 (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank); 
 (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement;

 (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order
that Bank reasonably considers advisable; 
 (d) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral and/or any documents relating to the Collateral, and to make such documents and/or the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate.
Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s
determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into such premises
and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 

(e) Enforce all of the rights of Borrower to receive the proceeds of the Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to the
Obligations; 
 (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell
(in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a limited license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit; 

(g) Subject to clause (i) below, dispose of the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or
more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank
deems appropriate; provided that, prior to conducting a sale pursuant to this clause (g), Bank shall give written notice to Borrower three (3) Business Days prior to the expected date of such sale; 

  
 38 
















 (h) Other than a purchase by Borrower, Bank may bid and purchase the
Collateral at any public sale of the Collateral upon terms no less favorable than that of the highest bid received; and 

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.1, in connection with the sale of the
Collateral by Bank pursuant to Section 9.1(g), Borrower will have the right to purchase all of the Collateral by paying to Bank in cash in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount necessary to pay the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) in full on the date of such purchase. If Borrower fails to exercise this purchase right prior to the day that
is one Business Day prior to the expected date of such sale pursuant to this Section 9.1, then Borrower will forfeit such right. 

9.2 Right of Setoff; Deposit Accounts. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank is hereby
authorized by Borrower, at any time and from time to time, to set off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or liquidated or
unliquidated) any and all amounts owing by Bank to Borrower (whether payable in U.S. Dollars or any other currency, whether matured or unmatured, and, in the case of deposits of Borrower, whether general or special, time or demand and however
evidenced). 
 9.3 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, and the Loan
Documents shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of
any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in writing by Bank and then shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

	 	11.	 CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 



New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby
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 such court. Borrower hereby
waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the
address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or five
(5) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, proper postage prepaid. 

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

	 	12.	 GENERAL PROVISIONS. 



12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, 

  
 40 
















 
however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole
discretion. Bank may not assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participation in all or any part of Bank’s interest, rights, obligations or benefits hereunder, without Borrower’s prior written consent (unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, in which case, the consent of Borrower is not required), which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right without the consent of, but with notice to, Borrower to sell, transfer,
negotiate or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder to any of Bank’s Affiliates; provided that such sale, transfer or participation shall not be effective until
written notice has been provided to Borrower. Borrower shall maintain a register of the name and address of any Persons to which Bank assigned or participated its obligations, rights and benefits hereunder and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each such Person’s interest in the Advances or other obligations, rights and benefits under the Loan Documents, and shall treat such Persons as the beneficial owners of such obligations, rights and benefits for all U.S. federal tax
purposes. The entries in such register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Persons shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.6, with respect to any participation, than Bank would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after such Person acquired the applicable participation. 

12.2 Indemnification. Irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower
agrees to indemnify, exonerate, defend, pay, and hold harmless Bank, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and individually as “Indemnitee”) from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of outside counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigation, administrative, or judicial proceeding, whether such Indemnitee
shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of the Revolving Line, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any matter relating to or arising out of the filing or recordation of any of the Loan Documents which filing or recordation is done based upon information supplied by
Borrower to Bank and its counsel (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any such Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee will promptly notify Borrower of each event of which it has knowledge which may give rise to a claim under the indemnification provisions of this Section 12.2. If any investigative,
judicial, or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.2 Borrower will resist and defend such action,
suit, or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Borrower (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee will use its reasonable efforts to
cooperate in the defense of any such action, writ, or proceeding. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and 

  
 41 
















 
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under Applicable Law. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 12.2 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder. This Section 12.2 shall not apply with respect to taxes, other than taxes that represent losses, claims, penalties or damages arising from any non-tax claim. Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages (other than in respect of any such damages incurred
or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party)) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby asserted by an Indemnitee against Borrower; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair
or affect the obligations of Borrower under the preceding provisions of this section. 
 12.3 Time of Essence.
Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement. 
 12.4 Severability of
Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 

12.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can be amended or
terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and
the Loan Documents. 
 12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 

12.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower. 

12.8 Prepayment of Advances; Termination of Security; Release of Guarantees. Borrower may terminate this
Agreement at any time in its sole discretion upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Bank, provided that, prior to such time, all Advances have been repaid and any and all other charges and costs to be paid hereunder have
been paid in full as due to the date of termination and Borrower has complied with all other obligations hereunder to the date of termination, in each case as determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Upon such termination, Bank shall release
any security that it may have to the Collateral and shall terminate any guarantees hereunder, and the parties shall execute such other documents as may reasonably be required to fully terminate this Agreement and the parties’ rights and
obligations hereunder following such termination.
