to Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Lender will equal the full amount Lender would have received had
no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Lender with respect to any payment received by Lender or such Lender hereunder, Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional
amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount Lender would have
received had such Taxes not been asserted.

regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of Law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects the manner in which Lender
allocates capital resources to its commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result thereof, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the rate of return on Lender’s capital with regard to the Loans is reduced to a level below that
which Lender would have achieved but for such circumstances, then in such case and upon notice from Lender to Borrower, from time to time, Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate Lender for such reduction in
Lender’s rate of return. A notice to Borrower from Lender as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein.

 SECTION VI. BORROWER’S AFFIRMATIVE
COVENANTS 
 Borrower covenants that until all of the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full, that: 

6.1 Payment of Taxes and Claims. Borrower shall pay, before they become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges, or levies imposed upon it, or upon Borrower’s Property, and all claims or demands of materialmen, mechanics, carriers, warehousemen, landlords 

  
 33 









 
and other Persons, entitled to the benefit of statutory or common Law Liens which, in any case, if unpaid, would result in the imposition of a Lien upon its Property; provided however, that
Borrower shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, claim or demand if the amount, applicability or validity thereof, shall at the time, be contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings by Borrower, and if Borrower
shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in respect thereof, if so required in accordance with GAAP; which deferment of payment is permissible so long as no Lien other than a Permitted Lien has been entered and Borrower’s title to,
and its right to use, its Property are not materially adversely affected thereby. 
 6.2 Maintenance of Properties and
Corporate Existence. 
 (a) Property. Borrower shall maintain its Property in good condition (normal wear and tear
excepted) make all necessary renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and will pay and discharge when due the cost of repairs and maintenance to its Property, and will pay all rentals when due for all real estate
leased by Borrower. 
 (b) Property Insurance, Public and Products Liability Insurance. Borrower shall maintain insurance
(i) on all insurable tangible Property against fire, flood, casualty and such other hazards (including, without limitation, extended coverage, workmen’s compensation, boiler and machinery, with inflation coverage by endorsement) and
(ii) against public liability, product liability and business interruption, in each case in such amounts, with such deductibles and with such insurers as are customarily used by companies operating in the same industry and geographic area as
Borrower. At or prior to Closing, Borrower shall furnish Lender with duplicate original policies of insurance or such other evidence of insurance as Lender may require, and any certificates of insurance shall be issued on Accord Form-27. In the
event Borrower fails to procure or cause to be procured any such insurance or to timely pay or cause to be paid the premium(s) on any such insurance, Lender may do so for Borrower, but Borrower shall continue to be liable for the same. The policies
of all such casualty insurance shall contain standard Lender’s Loss Payable Clauses (and, with respect to liability and interruption insurance, additional insured clauses) issued in favor of Lender under which all losses thereunder shall be
paid to Lender as Lender’s interest may appear. Such policies shall expressly provide that the requisite insurance cannot be altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender and shall insure Lender
notwithstanding the act or neglect of Borrower. With respect to any single claim which exceeds $500,000 or any series of claims in any twelve month period which in the aggregate exceeds $1,500,000, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, exercisable at Lender’s option to endorse any check which may be payable to Borrower in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance and any amount or amounts collected by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section

 8.2 Cure. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be
deemed to compel Lender to accept a cure of any Event of Default hereunder. 
 8.3 Rights and Remedies on Default.

 (a) In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan
Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), or otherwise available at Law or in equity, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender may, in its discretion, cease making Advances
hereunder, terminate the Loan and declare the Obligations immediately due and payable, all without demand, notice, presentment or protest or further action of any kind (it also being understood that the occurrence of any of the events or conditions
set forth in Sections 8.1(k),(l) or (m) shall automatically cause an acceleration of the Obligations). 
 (b) In addition
to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), or otherwise available at Law or in equity, upon or at any time after the
acceleration of the Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than the rights with respect to clause (iv) below which Lender may exercise at any time after an Event of Default and regardless of whether there is an
acceleration), Lender may, in its discretion, exercise all rights under the UCC and any other applicable Law or in equity, and under all Loan Documents permitted to be exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including the following
rights and remedies (which list is given by way of example and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all such rights and remedies): 

  
 48 









 (i) the right to take possession of, send notices regarding and collect directly the
Collateral, with or without judicial process (including without limitation the right to notify the United States postal authorities to redirect mail addressed to Borrower to an address designated by Lender); or 

(ii) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter Borrower’s premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it
unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (e) below, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action; or 

(iii) require Borrower at Borrower’s expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral (other than real estate or fixtures) and
make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender; or 
 (iv) take additional reserves against the Borrowing Base;
or 
 (v) the right to enjoin any violation of Section 7.1, it being agreed that Lender’s remedies at Law are
inadequate. 
 (c) Borrower hereby agrees that a notice received by it at least seven (7) days before the time of any
intended public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable Law, any perishable
inventory or Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any
obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Lender shall have no obligation to clean up or prepare the Collateral for sale. If Lender sells any
of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser thereof, that are received by Lender. Lender may, in connection with any sale of the Collateral specifically disclaim any warranties of title
or the like. 
 8.4 Nature of Remedies. All rights and remedies granted Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents, or
otherwise available at Law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until all Obligations are satisfied in full. The exercise of any
one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower, at any time, under any agreement, with any available
remedy and in any order. 
 8.5 Set-Off. If any bank account of Borrower with Lender or any participant is attached or
otherwise liened or levied upon by any third party, Lender (and such participant) shall have and be deemed to have, without notice to Borrower, the immediate right of set-off and may apply the funds or amount thus set-off against any of
Borrower’s Obligations hereunder. 
 8.6 Limitation on Remedies. 

  
 49 









 (a) Notwithstanding, anything else to the contrary contained herein, with respect to an
Event of Default under Section 6.7 hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not be entitled to exercise its rights under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), provided, that Lender is expressly permitted to take additional Reserves against Availability, or
to impose the Default Rate on the Loan. The foregoing limitation shall not apply if there shall have occurred any other Event of Default hereunder in which case Lender’s right of action shall not be impaired. Furthermore during such Event of
Default nothing shall be deemed to limit Lender’s right to pursue any action against any Guarantor. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
any provision of Section 8.3(a) and (b), any exercise of the rights and remedies of Lender solely as it relates to the Loans and Borrower under Section 8.3(a) and (b) may be subject to the provisions of the Multi-Party Agreement.

 SECTION IX. MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL RELATED AGREEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD
TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN ARE TO BE DEEMED SEVERABLE, AND THE INVALIDITY OR
UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PROVISION SHALL NOT AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS WHICH SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. 
 9.2 Integrated Agreement. The Notes, the other Loan Documents, all related agreements, and this Agreement shall be construed as integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not
restricting Lender’s rights and remedies. If, after applying the foregoing, an inconsistency still exists, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment thereto and shall control. 

9.3 Waiver. No omission or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power under this Agreement or any related agreements and
documents will impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any Default, or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or power will not preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, and as to Borrower no waiver will be valid unless in writing and signed by Lender and then only to the extent specified. 
 9.4 Indemnity. 
 (a) Borrower releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lender and its respective officers, employees and agents, of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
resulting from (i) acts or conduct of Borrower under, pursuant or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower’s breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iii) Borrower’s failure to comply with any or all Laws, statutes, ordinances,

(iv) any claim by any other creditor of Borrower against Lender arising out of any transaction whether hereunder or in any way related to the Loan Documents and all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or other damages resulting there from, unless
resulting solely from acts or conduct of Lender constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
 (b) Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action by a third party, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such
subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such
subsection only if the indemnifying party is unable to defend such actions as a result of such failure to so notify. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. 
 9.5 Time. Whenever Borrower shall be required to make any
payment, or perform any act, on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made, or such act may be performed, on the next succeeding Business Day. Time is of the essence in Borrower’s performance under all provisions of this
Agreement and all related agreements and documents.

thereafter, Borrower will pay within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written demand of Lender all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Lender in connection with (i) the analysis, negotiation, preparation, execution, administration,
delivery and termination of this Agreement, and other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, and any amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, whether or
not any such amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement, waiver or consent is executed or becomes effective, search costs, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for Lender, any fees or expenses incurred by Lender under

creation and perfection of the Liens created by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including title investigations, Lien searches and other costs and expenses); (ii) the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder, or the collection
of any payments owing from, Borrower under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or the protection, preservation or defense of the rights of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (iii) any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement and other Loan Documents in the nature of a “work-

brokers, agents or finders being the effective procuring cause hereof. Borrower represents that it has not committed Lender to the payment of any brokerage fee, commission or charge in connection with this transaction. If any such claim is made on
Lender by any broker, finder or agent or other person alleging that it is based on actions of Borrower, a Guarantor or any affiliate, officer director or employee of either of them, Borrower hereby indemnifies, defends and saves such party harmless
against such claim and further will defend, with counsel satisfactory to Lender, any action or actions to recover on such claim, at Borrower’s own cost and expense, including such party’s reasonable counsel fees. Borrower further agree
that until any such claim or demand is adjudicated in such party’s favor, the amount demanded shall be deemed an Obligation of Borrower under this Agreement.

 SCHEDULE A 
 DEFINITION OF INELIGIBLE FINANCED SBA LOANS 
 The term
“Ineligible Financed SBA Loans” means the portion of each SBA 7(a) Loan as to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies; provided, however, that Lender reserves the right, at any time and from time
to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the criteria set forth below and to establish new criteria with respect to Eligible SBA 7(a) Loans, in its reasonable credit judgment; provided, further, however, that Lender
shall provide twenty-five (25) days prior written notice to Borrower with respect to any adjustment of existing criteria or establishment of new criteria that would have the effect of reducing the availability of Advances to Borrower.

 Ineligible Financed SBA Loans are SBA 7(a) Loans: 
 (i) as to which all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the SBA guaranty with respect to the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan have not been met; 

(ii) with respect to Financed Non-Guaranteed Loans and Advances-Non-Guaranteed Loans, with respect to which Borrower has not perfected
its security interests and Liens in all underlying collateral for the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan; provided, that at the discretion of Lender, the perfection requirements of this clause may be deemed satisfied if escrow arrangements reasonably
acceptable to Lender are in place to insure that all steps necessary for such perfection will be accomplished promptly, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days following the disbursement by Borrower of the proceeds of such SBA 7(a)
Loan; 
 (iii) with respect to which the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan does not conform to all requirements of the SBA applicable to
the initial approval and guaranty by the SBA thereof; 
 (iv) with respect to which the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan, SBA 7(a) Loan
Notes or SBA 7(a) Note Receivable Documents do not comply in all material respects with applicable Laws; 
 (v) with respect to
which an event or condition has occurred that would release the SBA from its obligations to Borrower with respect to the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan, or the SBA has rejected the applicable SBA 7(a) Loan or the applicable SBA 7(a) Note Receivable
Documents in any respect, or an event pursuant to which the SBA has reduced the amount of its guarantee of any of the foregoing (but in such event only to the extent of such reduction); 

(vi) with respect to Financed Non-Guaranteed Loans and Advances-Non-Guaranteed Loans, with respect to which the insurance coverage
