Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

 2.2 Increase to Revolving Facility Amount. From time to time, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the Lender may agree to increase the Revolving Facility Amount to an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000. Any such increase shall be expressly conditioned on Lender receiving all information, documents, agreements, certificate, instruments, legal opinions, approvals, and other items as the Lender may request, and Lender shall have no obligation to agree to such increase and may decline to agree to such increase for any reason or no reason.

 2.5.2 Reserved.
  
 2.5.3 Lender shall maintain accounts in which it shall record the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable hereunder, which entries shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay all principal of and interest on the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
  
 2.6 Prepayment of Loans.
  
 2.6.1 Voluntary Prepayment. Subject to Section 2.6.6, Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part.

	17
	 
 
	 


  
 2.6.2 Mandatory Prepayment – Excessive Borrowing.

 2.6.6 Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify Lender by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. Minneapolis time three Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid.

 2.7.2 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) during the Availability Period, which shall accrue at the rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the average daily difference of the Revolving Facility Amount then in effect minus the Revolving Exposure. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which the Revolving Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after 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.
  
 2.7.3 Loan Facility Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender an annual loan facility fee (the “Loan Facility Fee”) equal to 0.75% of the Revolving Commitment. The Loan Facility Fee shall be fully earned on the Closing Date for the term of the Loan (including any Extension Term) but shall be due and payable on each anniversary of the Closing Date. If the Revolving Commitment is terminated for any reason, whether at maturity or by Lender following an Event of Default hereunder, the unpaid Loan Facility Fee shall be due and payable on the date of such termination. 
  
 2.7.4 Collateral Management Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender as additional interest a monthly collateral management fee (the “Collateral Management Fee”) for monitoring and servicing the Revolving Facility, equal to $1,700 per month for the term of Revolving Commitment.

Payment of the Collateral Management Fee may be made, at the discretion of Lender: (i) by application of Advances under the Revolving Facility hereunder, or (ii) directly by Borrower.

 2.7.5 Early Termination Fee. If the Revolving Commitment shall be terminated for any reason, including by the Lender following an Event of Default hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Revolving Commitment (the “Early Termination Fee”).

The Borrower agrees that the Applicable Percentages are a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from a termination of the Revolving Commitment.
  
 2.7.6 Financial Consulting Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to GVC Financial Services, LLC, a fully-earned, non-refundable financial consulting fee of $150,000.

 2.8.4.1 on the last day of each month commencing April 30, 2019,

As used herein, the “Maximum Accrual” is an amount equal to the product of the issue price (as defined in IRC Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) of the Loan and its yield to maturity (as determined for purposes of Section 163(i) of the IRC), and a “AHYDO Testing Date” is any date on which interest is due and payable and the date on which any “accrual period” (within the meaning of Section 1272(a)(5) of the IRC) closes. Any accrued interest that, for any reason, has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on the Loan or any portion thereof is made.

 2.9.1.1 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); 
  
 2.9.1.2 subject Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
  
 2.9.1.3 impose on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any of the Loans;
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
  
 2.9.2 If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or any lending office of Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitment of Lender, or the Loans made by Lender, to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
   	 
	20
	 
 
	 


  
 2.9.3 A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.9.1 or Section 2.9.2 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 2.10.3 The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
  
 2.11 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds.
  
 2.11.1 Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.8 or 2.9, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. Minneapolis, Minnesota time on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender at the address for payment specified in writing by Lender to Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.9 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Lender shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
  
 2.11.2 Any proceeds of Collateral received by Lender not constituting a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.6), may be applied to the Obligations by the Lender in any order of application, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. 
  
 2.11.3 Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (a) Lender to make a Revolving Loan for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans and that all such Revolving Loans shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.3, and (b) Lender to charge any deposit account of Borrower maintained with Lender for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.
   	 
	21
	 
 
	 


  
 2.12 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Lender shall consider, but in no way be obligated to agree to any Extension Option, after receipt by the Lender of a written notice from the Borrower informing the Lender of Borrower’s desire to exercise the Extension Option(s) as set forth herein. The Lender may condition the exercise of the Extension Option(s) with respect to any Extension Term on such conditions (including the delivery of any agreements, instruments, documents, certificates, or legal opinions, and the payment of any fees) as the Lender may so determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
  
 2.14 Eligible Contract Participant Provisions. 
  
 2.14.1 Eligible Contract Participants. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) a Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor (A) shall not be liable for any Excluded Swap Obligations and (B) shall not be deemed to have guaranteed any Excluded Swap Obligations and (ii) any security interest granted to the Lender by a Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall not secure the repayment of any Excluded Swap Obligations; provided, however, that at the time any such Loan Party becomes a Qualified ECP Guarantor, the Obligations of such Loan Party shall include, without limitation, any transaction entered into under any Swap Agreement with Lender or its Affiliates and any transactions outstanding under any Swap Agreement with Lender or its Affiliates.
  
 2.14.2 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of all Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.14.2 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.14.2, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full has occurred.

 2.14.3 Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Loan Party makes a written representation to the Lender in connection with a swap, or any master agreement governing a swap to the effect that such Loan Party is or will be an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act on the date the relevant liability is incurred or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, and such representation proves to have been incorrect when made or deemed to have been made, the Lender reserves all of its contractual and other rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the right to claim, and pursue a separate cause of action, for damages as a result of such misrepresentation, provided that such Loan Party’s liability for such damages shall not exceed the amount of the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such swap.
  
 2.14.4 Eligible Contract Participants Representation. Each Loan Party represents that, as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, and is deemed to represent that on each day that a Loan Party enters into a Swap Agreement, such Loan Party is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act.

 ARTICLE 8
  
 CONTINUING GUARANTY
  
 8.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Loan Parties to the Lender, arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.
  
 8.2 Rights of the Lender. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other Guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of any Guarantor.
  
 8.3 Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of Lender) of the liability of Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that any Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower or any other Loan Party; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, any requirement that the Lender marshal assets against any other Loan Party or Collateral or other property of any Loan Party or pursue any other remedy in the power of Lender whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.
   	 
	47
	 
 
	 


  
 8.4 Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other Guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
  
 8.5 Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Commitment is terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
  
 8.6 Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under the Loan Documents are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Commitment is terminated. If a Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, such revocation shall not become effective until 10 Business Days after Lender receives written notice from such Guarantor revoking this Guaranty. If this Guaranty is revoked by any Guarantor, said revocation shall have no effect on the continuing liability of such Guarantor to guarantee unconditionally the prompt payment of all Obligations which are contracted or incurred prior to the fifth Business Day after receipt of the revocation notice, including any such prior Obligations which are subsequently renewed, modified or extended after such revocation becomes effective, as well as all extensions of credit made after revocation pursuant to any commitments made prior to such revocation. Revocation of this Guaranty by any Guarantor shall not relieve any other Guarantor of any liability hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any applicable law or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not Lender is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
  
 8.7 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Intercompany Indebtedness of Borrower owing to such Guarantor until such time as the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Commitment is terminated. Any Intercompany Indebtedness, if the Lender so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by a Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of each Loan Party under the other provisions of the Loan Documents.
  
 8.8 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or Borrower under any applicable laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by Lender.
  
 8.9 Condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from Borrower and any other Guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of Borrower and any such other Guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that Lender has no duty, and no Guarantor is relying on Lender at any time, to disclose to any Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of Borrower or any other Guarantor.

 9.2.6 require any Loan Party, using such form as Lender may approve, to notify such Loan Party’s customers, Account Debtors and any other Persons, and to indicate on all of such Loan Party’s correspondence to such customers, Account Debtors and other Persons, that the contracts and General Intangibles must be paid to Lender directly; 
  
 9.2.7 sign any indorsements, assignments or other writings of conveyance or transfer in connection with any disposition of the Collateral;
  
 9.2.8 (i) bring suit on any one or more of the accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents, leases or other agreements (collectively, “Contracts”) in the name of the applicable Loan Party or Administrative Agent, and exercise all such other rights respecting the Contracts, in the name of the applicable Loan Party or the Lender, including the right to accelerate or extend the time of payment, settle, release in whole or in part any amounts owing on any Contract and issue credits in the name of the applicable Loan Party or the Lender, and including proceeding against any collateral or security provided in respect of any Contract, and (ii) bring suit on any one or more of the general intangibles, in the name of the applicable Loan Party or the Lender, and exercise all such other rights respecting the general intangibles, including the right to accelerate or extend the time of payment, settle, release in whole or in part any amounts owing on any general intangible and issue credits in the name of the applicable Loan Party or the Lender, and including proceeding against any collateral or security provided in respect of any general intangible;
  
 9.2.9 sign any indorsements, assignments or other writings of conveyance or transfer in connection with any assignment, transfer, sale or disposition of the Collateral;
  
 9.2.10 apply for and have a receiver appointed over Borrower or its assets under state law (including, but not limited, to Minn. Stat. § 576.21 et. seq.) or federal law by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Loan Documents, in order to manage, protect, preserve, and sell and otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of the Borrower, and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of the Obligations until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral is finally made and consummated. Each Loan Party stipulates and agrees that the Lender may seek and obtain such orders on an expedited basis and each Loan Party hereby stipulates, agrees and consents to the immediate entry of such order(s). Each Loan Party further waives any bonding requirements associated with a receivership order or an order for claim and delivery (replevin);
  
 9.2.11 make and adjust claims under insurance policies;
  
 9.2.12 exercise any rights of the Lender under any Control Agreements and apply any sums in any deposit or other accounts of the Borrower to the Obligations; and/or
  
 9.2.13 exercise all other rights and remedies of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC; 
  
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 9.1.6 or 9.1.7 (in the case of Section 9.1.6 upon the expiration of the period mentioned therein), the obligation of Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid amount of all outstanding Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without further act of Lender.
   	 
	52
	 
 
	 


  
 9.3 Waivers by Loan Parties. Each Loan Party acknowledges that portions of the Collateral could be difficult to preserve and dispose of and be further subject to complex maintenance and management. Accordingly, Lender, in exercising its rights under this Article 9, shall have the widest possible latitude to preserve and protect the Collateral and Lender’s security interest in and Lien thereon. Moreover, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to, and such Loan Party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right that it may have to require Lender to, (a) clean up or otherwise prepare any of the Collateral for sale, (b) pursue any Person to collect any of the Obligations, or (c) exercise collection remedies against any Persons obligated on the Collateral. Lender’s compliance with applicable local, state or federal law requirements, in addition to those imposed by the UCC, in connection with a disposition of any or all of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any disposition of any or all of the Collateral under the UCC.
  
 9.4 Notice of Disposition; Allocations. If any notice is required by law to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, (a) Lender will give the applicable Loan Party written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made, and at any such public or private sale, Lender may purchase all or any of the Collateral, and (b) Lender and each Loan Party agree that such notice will not be unreasonable as to time if given in compliance with this Agreement ten days prior to any sale or other disposition. The proceeds of the sale will be applied first to all costs and expenses of such sale including attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, and second to the payment of all Obligations in the manner and order determined by Lender in its discretion. The Loan Parties shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. Unless otherwise directed by law, Lender will return any excess to the Loan Parties.
  
 9.5 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.
  
 9.6 Equitable Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event such Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender; therefore, each Loan Party agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
  
 9.7 Equity Cure.
  
 9.7.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.1, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of Section 7.3.3 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, at any time after such last day of such fiscal quarter until the tenth Business Day following the date on which the financial statements with respect to last fiscal month of each fiscal quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.2, Intermediate Holdings shall have the right to receive cash capital contributions or issue Capital Stock for cash (which cash Intermediate Holdings shall promptly contribute in cash to the Borrower as common equity) (a “Specified Equity Contribution”; collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon such exercise and the receipt by the Borrower of the proceeds of such Specified Equity Contribution and the application thereof by the Borrower to prepay the outstanding Loans in an aggregate amount (including principal, any accrued interest thereon and any premiums, fees or other amounts payable in respect thereof) equal to the Specified Equity Contribution, the financial covenant under Section 7.3.3 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment:
   	 
	53
	 
 
	 


  
 9.7.1.1 Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring compliance with Section 7.3.3 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; and
  
 9.7.1.2 if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment (without giving effect to any repayment of any Indebtedness with any portion of the Specified Equity Contribution), the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.3.3, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 7.3.3 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default under Section 7.3.3 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement;
  
 provided that the Borrower shall have notified the Lender of the exercise of such Cure Right prior to the date that is three Business Days after such exercise.
  
 9.7.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than one time and (ii) for purposes of this Section 9.7, the Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the minimum amount required for purposes of complying with the Section 7.3.3 for the relevant period and any amounts in excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Specified Equity Contribution.
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Specified Equity Contribution received pursuant to any exercise of the Cure Right and the use of proceeds thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to prepay Loans as provided in Section 9.7.1) shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement (except as expressly set forth in Section 9.7.1), including for determining any financial ratio-based terms and any increase to any available basket under this Agreement or calculating compliance with any of the financial covenants hereunder.

 10.1.2 Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
  
 10.2 Waivers; Amendments.
  
 10.2.1 No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.2.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
   	 
	55
	 
 
	 


  
 10.2.2 Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of Article 8, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party and Lender, (b) in the case of this Agreement (other than any provision in Article 8), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Lender or (c) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Lender and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto.
  
 10.3 Expenses; Indemnification.
  
 10.3.1 Each Loan Party shall pay or reimburse Lender for (a) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated); (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; (c) (i) appraisals and insurance reviews, field examinations and the preparation of reports, based on the fees charged by a third party retained by Lender or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by Lender with respect to each field examination, (ii) fees charged by third parties to review and reconcile amounts reported on Borrowing Base Certificates to the related source documents provided by Borrower, and (iii) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and (B) filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue Lender’s Liens; and (d) costs and expenses of preserving, protecting and insuring the Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to Borrower as Revolving Loans or to any deposit account.
  
 10.3.2 Each Loan Party shall indemnify Lender and each Related Party of Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (d) the failure of any Loan Party to deliver to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by such Loan Party for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.9.4, or (e) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
   	 
	56
	 
 
	 


  
 10.3.3 To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereunder, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
  
 10.3.4 All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable not later than three (3) Business Days after written demand therefor.
  
 10.3.5 Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.10.3, this Section 10.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
  
 10.4 Successors and Assigns.
  
 10.4.1 Lender shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 10.4.2) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
  
 10.4.2 Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which Lender sells such a participation shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to the next sentence, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8 and 2.9. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.8 or 2.9 than Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. 
  
 10.4.3 Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto. Borrower agrees to use all reasonable efforts to and reasonably cooperate in good faith with Lender and otherwise assist Lender in satisfying any conditions required of Lender in connection with a pledge or assignment under this Section 10.4.3. 
   	 
	57
	 
 
	 


  
 10.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 2.9 , and 10.3 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
  
 10.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, 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. Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Lender and when Lender shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
  
 10.7 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
  
 10.8 Right of Setoff. All cash, moneys, investment property and other properties of any Loan Party and the proceeds thereof now or hereafter held or received by Lender from or for the account of such Loan Party, including any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), account balances and credits of such Loan Party with Lender or any Affiliate of Lender at any time existing (a) are part of the Collateral, (b) will be held as security for the Obligations, and (c) may be set off and applied against any or all Obligations at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and Lender has the right at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to refuse to allow withdrawals from any account of such Loan Party, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights given to Lender hereunder are cumulative with Lender’s other rights and remedies, including other rights of setoff. 
  
 10.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
  
 10.9.1 The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) and any claim or controversy arising in connection with any Loan Document shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws provisions) of the State of Minnesota.
   	 
	58
	 
 
	 


  
 10.9.2 Subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.9.2, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against Lender or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the U.S. Federal or Minnesota state courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Minnesota State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
  
 10.9.3 Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.9.2. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
  
 10.9.4 Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
  
 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
  
 10.11 Headings. Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
  
 10.12 USA PATRIOT Act. Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
   	 
	59
	 
 
	 


  
 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by Lender. 
  
 10.14 Agreement Jointly Drafted. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be construed against any party to this Agreement on the grounds that such party drafted this Agreement, but shall be construed as if all parties jointly prepared this Agreement, and any uncertainty or ambiguity shall not on such grounds be interpreted against any one party.
  
 10.15 Advice of Counsel Obtained. Each of the parties acknowledges and represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with legal, financial, and other professional advisors as it deems appropriate in connection with its consideration and execution of this Agreement. Each undersigned party further represents and declares that in executing this Agreement, it has relied solely upon its own judgment, belief and knowledge, and the advice and recommendation of its own professional advisors, concerning the nature, extent and duration of its rights, obligations and claims; that it has reviewed its records, evaluated its position and conducted due diligence with regard to all rights, claims or causes of action whatsoever with respect to any and all other parties; and that it has not been influenced to any extent whatsoever in executing this Agreement by any representations or statements made by the other party or its representatives, except those expressly contained herein.
