Forward-looking statements include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to:

------

Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the cannabis industry and the general expectations of the Company concerning the cannabis industry are based on estimates prepared by the Company using data from publicly-available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of the cannabis industry. Such data is inherently imprecise. The cannabis industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors, which are described below.

With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: (i) its ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms; (ii) general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; (iii) the output from the Company's operations; (iv) consumer interest in the Company's products; (v) competition in the cannabis industry; (vi) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (vii) government regulation of the Company's activities and products; (viii) government regulation of licensing, taxation and environmental protection; (ix) the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; (x) the Company's ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; (xi) the Company's ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and (xii) the Company's construction plans and timeframe for completion of such plans.

Readers are cautioned that the above list of cautionary statements is not exhaustive. Known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, current and future market conditions; risks related to federal, state, provincial, territorial, local and foreign government laws, rules and regulations, including federal and state laws in the United States relating to cannabis operations in the United States; and those discussed under Item 1A – "*Risk Factors*" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 6, 2025. The purpose of forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a description of management's expectations, and such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on the date such forward-looking statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

*(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)*

**1. Nature of operations**

TerrAscend Corp. (the "Issuer") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 7, 2017. The Issuer, through its subsidiaries, including TerrAscend Growth Corp. ("TerrAscend") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Company"), is a leading North American cannabis company. TerrAscend has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and California and a retail operation in Ohio. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the United States, TerrAscend's cultivation and manufacturing provide product selection to both the medical and legal adult-use markets. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the United States have implemented medical marijuana laws or have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under United States ("United States" or "U.S.") federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

The Company operates under one reportable segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.

The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:

• TerrAscend New Jersey ("TerrAscend NJ"), a majority owned operation with three dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend Maryland ("TerrAscend MD"), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend Pennsylvania ("TerrAscend PA"), a wholly-owned operation with six dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend California ("TerrAscend CA"), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation facility;

• TerrAscend Ohio ("TerrAscend OH"), a wholly-owned operation with one dispensary; and

• TerrAscend Canada Inc. ("TerrAscend Canada"), a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada").

The common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on May 3, 2017 under the ticker symbol "TER" and continued trading on the CSE until the listing of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). Effective July 4, 2023, the Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "TSND". The Common Shares commenced trading on the OTCQX in the United States on October 22, 2018 under the ticker symbol "TRSSF", which was subsequently changed to "TSNDF", effective July 6, 2023. The Company's registered office is located at 77 City Centre Drive, Suite 501, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 1M5, Canada.

**2.** **Summary of significant accounting policies**

(a)Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the "Consolidated Financial Statements") of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025, or any other interim or future periods.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 6, 2025 (the "Annual Report"). There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2 of the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Company's Annual Report.

(b) Discontinued operations and assets held for sale

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company committed to a plan to exit the Michigan market. As of September 30, 2025, the Company remains engaged in an active program to sell the assets of the Michigan business which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2025.

The Company evaluated whether its plan to exit the Michigan market qualifies as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, *Discontinued Operations*. A disposal of a component or a group of components is reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results when the following occurs: (i) a component (or group of components) meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (ii) the component or group of components is disposed of by sale; or (iii) the component or group of components is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spin-off).

The Company determined that its plan to exit the Michigan market is a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results and met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. As a result, the assets and liabilities of TerrAscend Michigan ("TerrAscend MI") are presented as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10, *Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets* ("ASC 360-10") in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets ("Consolidated Balance Sheets"), the operating results are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations ("Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss"), and net cash used is presented as discontinued operations in the statements of cash flows. The Company's assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal are classified as assets held for sale and at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

Prior period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. Certain prior period amounts, primarily related to discontinued operations, have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations. See Note 7 for additional information.

**3.** **Consolidation**

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity ("VOE") or a variable interest entity ("VIE").

In connection with the listing of its Common Shares on the TSX, the Company undertook a strategic reorganization of its ownership structure (the "2023 Reorganization") to align with TSX regulatory requirements regarding U.S. based operations, in accordance with the TSX's Staff Notice 2017-0009. Specifically, the 2023 Reorganization was designed to separate the Company's Canadian retail operations from its U.S. cultivation and manufacturing businesses in a manner that supports compliance with applicable listing standards while preserving the Company's ability to consolidate the financial results of its U.S. operations under U.S. GAAP. Following the completion of the 2023 Reorganization, the Company holds a 95% equity interest in its Canadian retail business and maintains a variable interest in its U.S. operations, which are consolidated through a VIE model. The Company continues to consolidate both operations under two distinct consolidation models in accordance with ASC 810, *Consolidation* ("ASC 810").

Subsequent to the 2023 Reorganization, all operations in the United States have a functional currency of the U.S. dollar ("USD"). Canadian operations continue to have a functional currency of the Canadian dollar ("CAD").

<u>Voting Interest Entities</u>

A VOE is an entity in which (1) the total equity investment at risk is deemed sufficient to absorb the expected losses of the entity, (2) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, have all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and (3) the entity is structured with substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates the Canadian operations under a VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through Common Shares with substantive voting rights.

The Company's Canadian retail operations are conducted through a subsidiary that is 95% owned by TerrAscend Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. These operations are consolidated under the VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through Common Shares with substantive voting rights. The remaining Canadian subsidiaries are either wholly owned or majority owned, and are not currently engaged in active operations.

*(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)*

<u>Variable Interest Entities</u>

A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more characteristics of a controlling financial interest defined under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).

In connection with the 2023 Reorganization, TerrAscend issued and sold, on a private placement basis, Class A shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Class A Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000 to an investor ("Investment"). See Note 10 for accounting treatment of the Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Investment, the Class B shares ("Class B Shares") in the capital of TerrAscend held by the Company, representing all of the issued and outstanding Class B shares, were automatically exchanged for non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Non-Voting Shares"), representing approximately 99.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend on an as-converted basis. As a result of the limited rights associated with Non-Voting Shares that the Company holds following the closing of the Investment, the Company and TerrAscend entered into a protection agreement dated April 18, 2023 ("Protection Agreement"). The Protection Agreement provides for certain negative covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted into Class A Shares.

The Issuer determined that TerrAscend is a VIE, as all of the Company's U.S. activities continue to be conducted on behalf of the Company which has disproportionately few voting rights. After conducting an analysis of the following VIE factors; purpose and design of the VIE, the Protection Agreement in place, the structure of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), and substantive kick-out rights of the holders of the Class A Shares, it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of TerrAscend. In addition, given the structure of the Class A Shares where all of the losses and substantially all of the benefits of TerrAscend are absorbed by the Company, the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810. Although the Company does not currently hold Class A Shares, the Non-Voting Shares are exchangeable at the Company's discretion and represent substantially all of the economic interest in the VIE. The investor's Class A Shares provide only a fixed annual return and do not participate in the residual economics of the VIE, in accordance with the Protection Agreement, which supports the Company's conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of TerrAscend.

The Company's U.S. operations are consolidated through the VIE model. Therefore, substantially all of the Company's current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are consolidated through the VIE model.

**5.** **Acquisitions**

<u>Ratio Cannabis</u>

On May 6, 2025 ("Ratio Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Ratio Cannabis, LLC, a licensed cannabis operator, to expand its operational footprint to include Ohio. The total fair value consideration transferred in connection with the acquisition was $10,103. The fair value consideration was comprised of: (i) $5,261 in cash, (ii) a $3,564 secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 6.00% and maturing on May 6, 2027, and (iii) 4,570,637 Common Shares (the Ratio Share Consideration") valued at $1,278 using the trading price of the Common Shares on the Ratio Acquisition Date less the applicable share restriction discount, as described below, of 30%.

The Ratio Share Consideration was subject to a statutory holding period restriction of six months, and therefore, a share restriction discount was considered in determining the fair value of the Ratio Share Consideration on the date of issuance, using an option pricing model.

The following table represents the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Ratio Acquisition Date and allocation of the consideration to net assets acquired:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **(In thousands)** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $133 |
| Accounts receivable | 58 |
| Inventory | 317 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 54 |
| Intangible assets | 6700 |
| Goodwill | 2841 |
| **Net assets acquired** | $**10103** |
| Consideration paid in cash | $5261 |
| Promissory note payable | 3564 |
| Common shares of TerrAscend | 1278 |
| **Total consideration** | $**10103** |

---

The acquired intangible assets include a license, which is treated as a definite lived intangible asset and amortized over a 15-year period.

The consideration paid reflected the synergies, economies of scale, and workforce. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The accounting for this acquisition has been provisionally determined at June 30, 2025. The fair value of net assets acquired, specifically with respect to intangible assets and goodwill have been determined provisionally and are subject to adjustment. Upon

Costs related to this transaction were $122, including legal, accounting, due diligence, and other transaction-related expenses and were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On a standalone basis, had the Company acquired the business on January 1, 2025, sales estimates would have been $5,830 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and net income estimates would have been $1,222. Actual sales and net income since the Ratio Acquisition Date are $3,112 and $352, respectively.

*(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)*

September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $304 of restructuring costs. Total cumulative restructuring costs are $304 as of September 30, 2025.

ASC 360-10 requires a held-for-sale disposal group to be measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. The Company adjusted the carrying amount of the fixed assets in the disposal group within the scope of ASC 360-10 relating to certain buildings, equipment, and leasehold improvements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized impairment loss of $6,312 and $41,271, respectively. The fair value of the disposal groups was primarily determined based on purchase offers from market participants. An estimated cost to sell of 4% was used in the valuations. The impairments were primarily attributable to the Company's expedited sales strategy, constructions in process that will no longer be completed, and the continued increase of competition in the Michigan market.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an inventory impairment charge of $3,320, recorded in cost of goods sold, to reduce the carrying value of certain inventory items to their net realizable value. The impairment charge was primarily related to inventory designated for sale below cost.

<u>Share Repurchase Authorization</u> 

On August 20, 2025, the Board approved a program to repurchase up to $10,000 of Common Shares (the "Share Repurchase Program"), which replaced the Company's share repurchase program previously in place (the "Original Program"). The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Common Shares of the Company at any time, or from time to time, from August 22, 2025 until August 21, 2026. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 60,255 Common Shares daily, which represents 25% of the Company's average daily trading volume on the TSX of 241,023 Common Shares. Any repurchases under the program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on price, market and business conditions, and other factors.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a total of 10,000,000 Common Shares remaining that can be authorized for repurchase. The following is a summary of the Common Shares that were repurchased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 under the Original Program:

| **Exercisable, September 30, 2025** | **11078854** | 4.30 | $**3.34** | $**71** |

---

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between Company's closing stock price on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their in-the-money options on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The fair value of the various stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the "Black-Scholes Model") with the following assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |
| Volatility | 75.76% - 80.21% | 77.54% - 78.31% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.86% - 4.12% | 3.18% - 4.45% |
| Expected life (years) | 4.87 - 6.25 | 4.01 - 10.01 |
| Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% |

---

Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The expected life in years represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bond issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3,925 and $5,647, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options was $3,035, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.96 years.

*Repricing of Stock Options*

On June 24, 2025 (the "Option Modification Date"), the Board approved a stock option repricing for employees and insiders of the Company (the "Option Repricing") pursuant to which the exercise price of certain outstanding options to purchase Common Shares under the Company's stock option plan will be reduced to $0.26 per share, which represented the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares immediately preceding the Option Modification Date, subject to such employee or insider continuing to perform their duties on behalf of the Corporation for a period of at least twelve months following the Option Modification Date ("Service Period Requirement"). The Option Repricing with respect to insiders of the Company was approved by the Company's shareholders at its Annual General Meeting held on June 24, 2025. As a result of the Option Repricing, 8,279,003 shares of vested and unvested stock options outstanding were modified, in accordance with ASC 718, *Stock-Based Compensation,* as of the Option Modification Date resulting in an incremental expense to the Company of $868. The vested portion of the repriced options are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the Service Period Requirement and the unvested portion will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of each respective award.

*(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)*

The Company has computed its provision for income taxes based on the actual effective tax rate for the quarter as the Company believes this is the best estimate for the annual effective tax rate. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and Canada.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes benefits from uncertain tax positions based on the cumulative probability method whereby the largest benefit with a cumulative probability of greater than 50% is recorded. An uncertain tax position is not recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

(1) Related to uncertain tax liabilities, the Company accrued $12,046 in interest and $8,639 in penalties as of September 30, 2025, and $8,006 in interest and $4,803 in penalties as of December 31, 2024.

The increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily due to legal interpretations that challenge the application of Section 280E of the Code to the Company ("280E Tax Position"). The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will increase over the next twelve months due to its 280E Tax Position.

During 2024, certain of the Company's amended federal income tax returns were selected for routine examinations by the Internal Revenue Service. As of September 30, 2025, there have been no material developments related to these examinations. The Company does not currently anticipate completion of the audits within the next twelve months.

*(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)*

reportable segment due to similar long-term economic characteristics and other required criteria of similarity outlined in ASC 280, *Segment Reporting*, and in accordance with ASU 2023-07. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") was determined to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The CODM regularly evaluates the performance of the single reportable segment using gross profit margin as its closest measure to GAAP. Gross margin is a measure that is calculated as total revenue minus cost of goods sold, divided by total revenue. The CODM monitors this metric to assess the efficiency of the Company's production and distribution processes, as well as the effectiveness of pricing strategies.

**22.** **Financial instruments and risk management** 

<u>Assets and liabilities measured at fair value</u>

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are estimated by applying a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 3 - inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data

The following table represents the fair value amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities:

There were no transfers between the levels of fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The valuation approaches and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within levels of the fair value hierarchy are presented below:

<u>Level 1</u>

Includes cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash represent financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.

<u>Level 2</u>

Includes detachable warrants, bifurcated conversion options, and a contingent consideration, which are valued using the Black-Scholes Model with observable market inputs such as stock price, historical volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term. These inputs are derived from market data and do not require significant judgment.

*Detachable Warrants*

The detachable warrants expired during the second quarter of 2025.

**23.** **Commitments and contingencies**

<u>Commitments</u>

On May 5, 2025, the Company signed an agreement to acquire equity interests in, and fully operate, Union Chill Cannabis Company LLC, a dispensary in New Jersey for total consideration of $13,000, which will be comprised of $4,000 in cash and a convertible promissory note for $9,000. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

<u>Legal proceedings</u>

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, product liability, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. At September 30, 2025, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

**24.** **Subsequent events**

The Company received additional indications of interest and preliminary offers from potential buyers for properties within its Michigan disposal group. These offers, which were below the previously estimated fair value less cost to sell, provided additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, management concluded this represented a Type I subsequent event under ASC 855, *Subsequent Events*, and updated the estimated fair value less cost to sell of the Michigan disposal group as of September 30, 2025. The Company recognized an incremental impairment loss of approximately $6,312 within discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

*The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of TerrAscend Corp. (the "Issuer"), its subsidiaries, including TerrAscend Growth Corp. ("TerrAscend") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Consolidated Financial Statements") and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial information and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the "SEC"), on March 6, 2025, (the "Annual Report"). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including information with respect to the Company's plans and strategy for its business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report, its actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the following discussion and analysis.* 

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company is for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the accompanying notes for each respective period.

**<u>Overview</u>**

The Company is a leading North American cannabis company. The Company has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and California and a retail operation in Ohio. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the United States have implemented medical marijuana laws or have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

The Company operates under one reportable segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.

The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:

• TerrAscend New Jersey ("TerrAscend NJ"), a majority owned operation with three dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend Maryland ("TerrAscend MD"), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend Pennsylvania ("TerrAscend PA"), a wholly-owned operation with six dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;

• TerrAscend California ("TerrAscend CA"), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation facility;

• TerrAscend Ohio ("TerrAscend OH"), a wholly-owned operation with one dispensary; and

• TerrAscend Canada Inc. ("TerrAscend Canada"), a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada").

**<u>Recent Developments</u>** 

• On August 20, 2025, the Board approved the Share Repurchase Program, which replaces the Company's Original Program. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Common Shares at any time, or from time to time, from August 22, 2025 until August 21, 2026.

• On July 18, 2025, Keith Stauffer's resignation as the Company's Chief Financial Officer became effective.

• On July 15, 2025, the Company drew $3,105 of the Uncommitted Term Loan Facility.

• On July 8, 2025, TerrAscend Growth Corp., TerrAscend USA, Inc., TerrAscend NJ LLC, TER Holding MD, Inc., and WDB Holding MD, Inc., including certain of each of their respective subsidiaries, and other borrowers, all of which are entities that are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company (collectively, the "Incremental Amendment Borrowers"), became parties

------

to the FG Loan as borrowers pursuant to the FG Loan Amendment, which provides for a $79,000 upsize to the existing FG Loan. The FG Loan bears interest at 12.75% per annum and matures on August 1, 2028. The Company drew down in full the $79,000 available under the FG Loan Amendment on July 8, 2025, $68,000 of which was used to retire the Pelorus Term Loan, and certain other indebtedness of the Company, in addition to being used for future growth initiatives. As a result, the outstanding obligation under the Pelorus Term Loan and certain other indebtedness of the Company were repaid in full and subsequently terminated. In addition, the FG Loan Amendment provides for an Uncommitted Term Loan Facility of up to $35,000, of which the Company has drawn $3,105 as of September 30, 2025. Certain funds controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman, Jason Wild, a related party of the Company, invested approximately $1,600 under the FG Loan Amendment.

**Subsequent Transactions** 

• The Company received additional indications of interest and preliminary offers from potential buyers. These offers, which were below the previously estimated fair value less cost to sell, provided additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, management concluded this represented a Type I subsequent event under ASC 855, Subsequent Events, and updated the estimated fair value less cost to sell of the Michigan disposal group as of September 30, 2025. The Company recognized an incremental impairment loss of approximately $6,312 within discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025

• One of the owned properties included in the Michigan disposal group was subsequently leased to a third party under a lease agreement effective November 1, 2025.

**<u>Components of Results of Operations</u>**

The following discussion sets forth certain components of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as well as factors that impact those items.

***Revenue, net***

The Company generates revenue from the sale of cannabis products, brands, and services to the U.S. and Canadian markets. Revenues consist of wholesale and retail sales in the legal medical and adult-use market across Canada and in several U.S. states where cannabis has been legalized for medical or adult-use cannabis.

***Cost of sales***

Cost of sales primarily consists of expenses related to providing cannabis products and services to the Company's customers, including personnel-related expenses, the depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of acquired intangible assets, certain royalties, and other overhead costs.

***Operating Expenses***

<u>General and administrative</u>

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to finance, human resources, legal, certain royalties, and other administrative functions. Additionally, G&A expenses include professional fees to third parties, as well as marketing expenses. Moreover, G&A expenses include share-based compensation on options, restricted stock units and warrants. The Company expects that G&A expenses will increase in absolute dollars as the business grows.

------

<u>Amortization and depreciation</u>

Amortization and depreciation includes the amortization of intangible assets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following terms:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Brand intangibles- indefinite lives | Indefinite useful lives |
| Software | 5 years |
| Licenses | 15-30 years |

---

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Buildings and improvements | 15-30 years |
| Land | Not depreciated |
| Machinery & equipment | 5-15 years |
| Office furniture & production equipment | 3-5 years |
| Right of use assets | Lease term |
| Assets in process | Not depreciated |

---

***(Gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration***

As a result of certain acquisitions, the Company recognized contingent consideration liabilities related to price protection provisions. These provisions may require the Company to issue additional Common Shares to the sellers if subsequent prices fall below certain agreed upon prices. These contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes Model in which a gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.

***(Gain) loss on fair value of derivative liabilities***

The Company issued convertible debt that contains embedded derivative features, which were bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative instruments. These derivative liabilities are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes Model in which a gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.

***Loss on extinguishment of debt***

Loss on extinguishment of debt represents the Company's debt that was retired prior to its scheduled maturity at a different amount than the book value and the amount paid.

***Finance and other expenses***

Finance and other expenses consist primarily of interest and accretion expense on the Company's outstanding debt obligations.

***Unrealized and realized foreign exchange loss***

Unrealized and realized foreign exchange loss represents the loss recognized on the remeasurement of USD denominated cash and other assets recorded in the Canadian dollars functional currency at the Company's Canadian operations.

***Provision for income taxes***

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

*<u>Continuing Operations</u>*

The following tables represent the Company's results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

***Revenue, net***

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| **Revenue, net** | $**65101** | $**65161** |
| $ change | $(60) |  |
| % change | 0% |  |

---

Revenue decreased by $60, from $65,161 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $65,101 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $1,527 decline in wholesale revenue, offset by a $1,467 increase in retail revenue.

The $1,527 decrease in wholesale revenue was primarily attributable to increased competition and continued price compression which resulted in lower average selling prices.

The $1,467 increase in retail revenue was primarily attributable to acquisitive growth in 2025.

***Cost of sales*** 

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| $ change | $(774) |  |
| % change | -2% |  |
| Cost of sales as a % of revenue | 48% | 49% |

---

The decrease of $774, in cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly due to cultivation and processing efficiencies, partially offset by higher costs associated with acquisitive growth in 2025.

***General and administrative expense***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| General and administrative expense | $21327 | $24717 |
| $ change | $(3390) |  |
| % change | -14% |  |

---

The decrease of $3,390 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to a reduction in share-based compensation in the current period along with a

------

one-time stock-based compensation charge recognized in the prior-year period related to the modification of stock option terms extending the expiration period from five years to ten years.

***Finance and other expenses***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |
|  | **(In thousands)** | **(In thousands)** |
| Finance and other expenses | $8952 | $8291 |
| $ change | $661 |  |
| % change | 8% |  |

---

The increase of $661 in finance and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase of interest and accretion related the additional upsize to the existing FG Loan.

***(Gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| (Gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration | $(1171) | $327 |
| $ change | $(1498) |  |
| % change | -458% |  |

---

The gain of $1,171 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $327 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflects a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability. This change was primarily driven by the Company's issuance of Common Shares, which triggered a reduction in the exercise price under the price protection agreement and significantly lowered the likelihood of additional Common Shares being issued.

***Loss (gain) on fair value of derivative liabilities***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| Loss (gain) on fair value of derivative liabilities | $723 | $(669) |
| $ change | $1392 |  |
| % change | -208% |  |

---

The loss on derivative liabilities of $723 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with a gain of $669 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2025 which resulted in a higher fair value of the derivative instruments and increase in the liability.

***Loss on extinguishment of debt***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended** | **For the Three Months Ended** |
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |

| Loss on extinguishment of debt | $1432 | $2096 |
| $ change | $(664) |  |
| % change | -32% |  |

---

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the original issuance and subsequent upsizing of the FG Loan, which resulted in the extinguishment of the majority of the Company's outstanding debt and the write-off of associated deferred financing costs.

***Provision for income taxes***

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| Provision for income taxes | $11034 | $13273 |
| $ change | $(2239) |  |

---

The decrease of $2,239 from $13,273 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $11,034 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by higher deductibility of interest offset by accrued interest and penalties.

*<u>Discontinued Operations</u>*

| Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax | $(14647) | $(5583) |
| $ change | $(9064) |  |
| % change | -162% |  |

---

The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax increased from $5,583 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $14,647 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a $6,312 impairment charge attributable to subsequent offers from market participants. The remaining increase in loss was primarily due to the termination of certain leases and inventory impairments.

**<u>Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024</u>**

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

*<u>Continuing Operations</u>*

Revenue decreased by $7,222, or 4% from $201,632 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $194,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $7,066 decline in wholesale revenue and a $156 decline in retail revenue.

Wholesale revenue for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, reflected similar trends to the three month ended periods previously mentioned with continued declines primarily attributable to increased competition and price compression.

Retail revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was relatively flat due to a full quarter of acquisitive growth which offset retail revenue declines experienced in prior quarters.

The gain of $825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $3,547 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflects a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability. This change was primarily driven by the Company's issuance of Common Shares, which triggered a reduction in the exercise price under the price protection agreement and significantly lowered the likelihood of additional Common Shares being issued. There was also an expiration of a contingent consideration liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The change in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax from $11,191 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $60,952 was primarily driven by a $41,271 impairment charge that was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 attributable to the Company's expedited sales strategy, constructions in process that will no longer be completed, and the continued increase of competition in the Michigan market and continued market saturation and price compression in Michigan which negatively impacted gross margins. The loss was also impacted by the termination of certain leases and inventory write-offs.

The calculation of working capital provides additional information and is not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP.

Since its inception, the Company's primary sources of capital have been through the issuance of equity securities or debt facilities, and the Company has received aggregate net proceeds from such transactions totaling $861,332 as of September 30, 2025.

The Company expects to fund any additional future requirements through the following sources of capital:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•cash from ongoing operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•market offerings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•additional debt from additional creditors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•sale of real property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•sale leaseback transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•exercise of options and warrants.

The Company entered into leases for certain premises and offices for which it owes monthly lease payments. The Company had $62,651 in undiscounted lease obligations. Of this amount, $4,633 are due in the next twelve months.

The Company's undiscounted contingent consideration payable was $179 at September 30, 2025, which is due in the next twelve months. The contingent consideration payable relates to the Company's acquisition of the remaining 50.1% equity in both State Flower and three Apothecarium dispensaries in California. The contingent consideration is based upon the price protection of Common Shares issued under the terms of the applicable acquisition agreement. The contingent consideration is measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Model and revalued at the end of each reporting period.

At September 30, 2025, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $35,993 and corporate income taxes payable of $8,338.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition, including and without limitation, such consideration as liquidity and capital resources.

The Company intends to meet its capital commitments through any or all of the sources of capital noted above. The Company's objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations and finance future obligations.

**<u>Share Repurchases</u>**

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

On August 20, 2025, the Board approved the Share Repurchase Program, which replaced the Original Program. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Common Shares of the Company at any time, or from time to time, from August 22, 2025 until August 21, 2026. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 60,255 Common Shares daily, which represents 25% of the Company's average daily trading volume on the TSX of 241,023 Common Shares. Any repurchases under the program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on price, market and business conditions, and other factors.

**<u>Cash Flows</u>** 

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

***Cash flows provided by operating activities***

|  | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2024** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $13514 | $28202 |

---

The decrease of $14,688 in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in working capital including a reduction of accounts payable and an increase in income taxes paid.

***Cash flows used in investing activities***

| Net cash used in investing activities | $(13464) | $(6269) |

---

The increase of $7,195 in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the cash consideration paid of $5,261 for the Ratio Cannabis acquisition in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was also attributable to ongoing capital expenditure projects focused on expansion and high product quality.

---

The change of $30,320 in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by net loan proceeds of $12,813 received slightly offset by distributions to non-controlling interests of $2,046 in the current-year period, while prior-year period included net loan principal payments of $14,889 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $4,433.

**<u>Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures</u>**

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

In addition to reporting the financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors and analysts use these measures to measure a company's ability to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to value companies in the cannabis industry, and the Company calculates: (i) Free cash flow from net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures for property and equipment which management believes is an important measurement of the Company's ability to generate additional cash from its business operations, and (ii) EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as net loss, adjusted to exclude provision for income taxes, finance expenses, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, unrealized and realized (gain) loss on investments, (gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration, unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss, gain on fair value of derivative liabilities, impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets, gain on lease terminations, and certain other items, which management believes is not reflective of the ongoing operations and performance of the Company. Such information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful performance measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful ongoing operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of the Company's underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. The table below reconciles net loss to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

**<u>Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies</u>**

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's future financial statements will be affected.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*", as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**<u>Emerging Growth Company Status</u>** 

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of: (i) December 31, 2027 (a) in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of $1,235,000 or more, or (b) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company's Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000 as of the last business day of the Company's most recent second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1,000,000 in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

There have been no material changes in the Company's primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30,

------

2025, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures**

In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

**PART II—OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or results of operations. As of September 30, 2025, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Investing in the Company's Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report for a description of the material risks and uncertainties to which the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations are subject. The Company may disclose changes to risk factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in its future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may impair its business operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

*Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this section are in thousands of U.S. dollars.*

On August 20, 2025, the Board approved the Share Repurchase Program, which replaced the Original Program. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,000,000 Common Shares of the Company at any time, or from time to time, from August 22, 2025 until August 21, 2026. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 60,255 Common Shares daily, which represents 25% of the Company's average daily trading volume on the TSX of 241,023 Common Shares. Any repurchases under the program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act

If Ms. Gefen's employment is terminated by TerrAscend USA without cause (as defined in the Gefen Amended Agreement) or she resigns for good reason (as defined in the Gefen Amended Agreement), the Gefen Amended Agreement now entitles Ms. Gefen to the full amount of her target bonus (cash or equivalent) for the prior calendar year if it has not yet been paid, and the full amount of her target bonus (cash or equivalent) for the then current calendar year

If Ms. Gefen's employment is terminated without cause or she resigns for good reason within 24 months following a change of control of TerrAscend USA, the Gefen Amended Agreement entitles Ms. Gefen to a cash payment equal to two times her Severance Pay (as defined in the Gefen Amended Agreement), two times her COBRA Cash Stipend (as defined in the Gefen Amended Agreement) and the full amount of her target bonus for the prior calendar year if not yet paid, and full bonus for the current calendar year.

Each <u>Additional</u> Incremental Commitment shall become effective as of the date of the applicable <u>Additional</u> Incremental Amendment (an "<u>Increase Effective Date</u>"), and the applicable<u>Additional</u> Incremental Term Loans shall be funded on the applicable Increase Effective Date. On each Increase Effective Date, <u>Schedule 1.1(a)</u> shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the applicable Incremental Commitment of the Lenders as provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(ii)</u>(iv) <u>Equal and Ratable Benefit</u>.

SECTION 2.2 <u>Origination Discount</u>. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Term Loan will be funded with a non-refundable discount (the "<u>Origination Discount</u>") of five percent (5%) of the Initial Face Amount and, if applicable, the Delayed Term Loan <u>Face</u> <u>Amount, and the 2025 Incremental</u> Face Amount, inclusive of all finally allocated commitments. The Origination Discount shall be reflected as a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the advance of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date and, if applicable, of the Delayed Term Loan on the Delayed Term Loan <u>Effective Date and of the 2025 Incremental Term Loan on the Second</u> <u>Amendment</u> Effective Date, as applicable. The parties intend that the Origination Discount shall be treated as consideration for the use or forbearance of money. The Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge that the Origination Discount will constitute original issue discount (as that term is used in Section 1273(a) of the Code) solely for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and, as such, is not being advanced to the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.3 <u>Interest</u>. The Initial Term Loan shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date, at the Interest Rate. The Delayed Term Loan shall bear interest from the Delayed Term Loan <u>Effective Date, at the Interest Rate. The 2025 Incremental Term Loan</u> 

------

<u>shall bear interest from the Second Amendment</u> Effective Date, at the Interest Rate. The Borrowers promise to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans in cash in arrears on each Payment Date with respect thereto, as set forth in Section 3.1(a) below. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(a)-(c) and Section 9.01(j), and at the written election of the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Term Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate on the then on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans and shall be paid in cash in accordance with Section 3.1(e). If the Default Rate applies pursuant hereto, then, at the election of the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Default Rate shall be deemed to accrue commencing on the date of the breach or event giving rise to the applicable Event of Default.

All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of the actual number of days elapsed of a year of 360 days and (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

<u>For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate</u> <u>hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the "deemed year") that contain fewer days than</u> <u>the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall</u> <u>be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number</u> <u>of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed</u> <u>year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest</u> <u>calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal</u> <u>rates and not effective rates or yields.</u>

------

paragraph (d) (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 Section 3.3(d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) 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 Taxes 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 Taxes had never been paid. This Section 3.3(d) 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.

SECTION 3.4 <u>Joint and Several Obligations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)All Obligations shall constitute joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and shall be secured by the Agent's security interest and Lien upon all of the Collateral, and by all other security interests and Liens heretofore, now or at any time hereafter granted by the Borrowers to the Agent to the extent provided in the Loan Documents under which such Lien arises. Each Borrower expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Agent or any Lender to any other Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest, benefit and advantage to such Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that any notice given by any other Borrower to the Agent or any Lender shall bind each Borrower, and that any notice given by the Agent or any Lender to any Borrower shall be effective with respect to each Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Borrower shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for the Term Loans and all other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of the Term Loans or other extensions of credit or the amount of the Term Loans or other extensions of credit received or the manner in which the Agent or any Lender accounts among the Borrowers for the Term Loans or other Obligations on its books and records, and further acknowledges and agrees that the Term Loans and other extensions of credit to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all of the Borrowers and that each of the Agent and Lenders is relying on the joint and several liability of the Borrowers in extending the Term Loans and other financial accommodations under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Borrower, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, each of the Agent and the Lenders hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance

------

for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the "<u>UFCA</u>"), the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the "<u>UFTA</u>") or any other federal, state or foreign (including Canada) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder (collectively, the "<u>Avoidance Provisions</u>"). To effectuate the foregoing intention, each of the Agent and the Lenders, by its acceptance of this Agreement, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance (such Borrower's "<u>Maximum Borrower Liability</u>"). This <u>Section 3.4(c)</u> is intended solely to preserve the rights hereunder of the Agent, each Lender and any other Person holding any of the Obligations to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to be subject to avoidance under any Avoidance Provisions, and none of the Borrowers nor any other Person shall have any right, defense, offset, or claim under this <u>Section 3.4(c)</u> as against the Agent, any Lender or any other Person holding any of the Obligations that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement, make a payment of a portion of the Obligations (each, an "<u>Obligor's Payment</u>"), then, without limiting its rights of subrogation against any other Borrower, such Borrower shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower and the Guarantors (collectively, the "<u>Contributing Parties</u>") in an amount, for each such Contributing Party, equal to a fraction of such Obligor's Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such Contributing Party's Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Contributing Parties. As of any date of determination, the "<u>Allocable Amount</u>" of each Contributing Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Contributing Party hereunder with respect to the applicable Obligor's Payment without (i) rendering such Contributing Party "insolvent" within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 2 of either the UFTA or the UFCA, (ii) leaving such Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Contributing Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA. Each Borrower's right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of <u>Sections 3.4(f)</u> and <u>3.4(g)</u>. The provisions of this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to any Secured Creditor, and each Borrower shall remain liable to each Secured Creditor for the full amount guaranteed by such Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this <u>Section 3.4(d)</u> shall limit any Borrower's liability for any portion of the Term Loans advanced directly or indirectly to it under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each Borrower agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Borrower Liability of such Borrower and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Borrower Liability of all Borrowers hereunder, without impairing this Agreement or any provision contained herein or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Creditor hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)No Borrower will exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder or under any other Loan Document or at law by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, nor shall any Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Borrower in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, until all amounts owing to Secured Creditors on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash (other than inchoate obligations for indemnification or unasserted claims for reimbursement). If any amounts shall be paid to any Borrower on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Borrower in trust for Secured Creditors, segregated from other funds of such Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned over to the Agent, for the benefit of Secured Creditors, in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly endorsed by such Borrower to the Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as provided for herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Nothing in this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall affect any Borrower's joint and several liability to Secured Creditors for the entire amount of its Obligations. Each Borrower covenants

------

and agrees that its right to receive any contribution hereunder from a Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Borrowers to Secured Creditors under the Loan Documents.

The Loan Parties have entered into the Security Agreement and, the Pledge <u>Agreement, and the Canadian Pledge and Security</u> Agreement, as applicable, each in favor of the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to grant to the Agent a first priority lien (subject to Permitted Liens) and security interest in the Collateral (including certain Equity Interests owned by the Loan Parties (the "<u>Pledged Equity</u>")), in each case, to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower<u>the Loan</u> Parties of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower<u>Loan</u> Party and Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of Borrower Parties<u>Borrowers</u> may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Agent and any such assignment without Agent's prior written consent shall be null and void. With the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Agent, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of the Term Loan held by it; provided, however, that (A) the written consent of the Borrower Representative (1) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (3) shall be deemed given if not positively denied in writing by the Borrower Representative within five (5) Business Days of the date of the written request therefor, (B) no written consent of any Agent or the Borrower Representative shall be required in connection with any assignment by a Lender (1) to an Agent or a Lender, (2) to an Affiliate of an Agent or a Lender (other than an Affiliate that is a Competitor) or (3) during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (C) the written consent of the Agent (1) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (2) shall be deemed given if not positively denied in writing by the Agent within five (5) Business Days of the date of the written request therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time grant to any Person (other than a Competitor, in which case, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the written consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required prior to the sale of any participating interests to any such Person) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder (a "<u>Participant</u>"). No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender's Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Term Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant's interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>") and any attempted sale of a participation that is not recorded in accordance with this Section 11.9(c) shall be null and void; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Information to Assignee, Etc</u>. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Property and its operations, Borrower, or Guarantors in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Eligible Assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and any Related Party thereof); provided, however, that no Lender may not disclose or disseminate Borrower's financial statements (or extracts thereof or information contained in such financial statements) to any other Person or entity outside of such Lender's organization (other than to any Related Party) without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, the Borrowers authorize the Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Term Loan (whether to the Borrowers or to any assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Cooperation; Costs and Expenses</u>. In connection with any such sale,

------

syndication, assignment or participation, the Borrowers further agree that they shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses in connection with such transaction and that the Loan Documents and other related documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrowers to each purchaser, assignee or participant and upon written request by the Agent, the Borrowers shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents and other related documents as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to evidence any such sale, syndication, assignment or participation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to reimburse or otherwise be liable in any manner in respect of any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with any such sale, syndication, assignment or participation of any of the Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Register</u>. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary Agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 11.10 <u>Limitation on Agreements</u>. All agreements among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made in respect of an amount due under any Loan Document or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as a result of any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of or compliance with any provision hereof or of any of such documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due or at any other time shall involve exceeding the amount permitted to be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Lenders under applicable usury or similar law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled or complied with shall be reduced (firstly by reducing the stated interest rate and thereafter, if and to the extent required, by reducing any other amount comprising interest) to the limit prescribed by such applicable usury or similar law, and if, from any such circumstance, the Lenders shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Note or the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders under any Loan Document and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Note and the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders under any Loan Document, as the case may be, such excess shall be promptly refunded in cash to the Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if at any time the rate of interest which accrues on the

------

outstanding principal balance of the Note shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall not reduce the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of such Note below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Note, taken in the aggregate, equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest rate had at all times been in effect and not been reduced. In the event that any rate of interest under the Note or any Loan Document is reduced due to the effect of this Section 11.10 and there is a subsequent increase in the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest rate shall, automatically without any action of the Borrowers or Lenders, be increased to the then applicable Highest Lawful Rate; provided that the interest rate shall not exceed the rate set forth in Section 2.3. The terms and provisions of this Section 11.10 shall control and supersede every other provision of all Loan Documents.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.8 shall survive the payment in full of the Term Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.9 <u>Erroneous Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If Agent (i) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") that Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>") and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous

------

Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.9 and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately pre-ceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 12.9(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

------

assigned its Term Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Term Loans (but not Commitments), the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest), and is hereby (together with Borrower Representative) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Term Loans to Borrower Representative or Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) Agent and Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) Agent will reflect in the register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, its ownership interest in the Term Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Subject to Section 11.9 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from Borrower Representative or otherwise)), Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Term Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Term Loan (or portion thereof), and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by Agent on or with respect to any such Term Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Term Loans are then owned by Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights</u>") (provided that the Loan Parties' Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Term Loans that have been assigned to Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, pre-pay, repay,

------

discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrowers or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 12.9 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the re-placement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 12.10 <u>Merger or Consolidation</u>.

The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)any act or omission on the part of the Agent or Lenders which may impair or prejudice the rights of such Guarantor, including rights to obtain subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any other reimbursement from the Borrowers or any other Person, or otherwise operate as a deemed release or discharge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)all demands and notices of every kind with respect to the foregoing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to the extent not referred to above, all defenses (other than payment or satisfaction in full) which the Borrowers may now or hereafter have to the payment of the Obligations, together with all suretyship defenses, which could otherwise be asserted by such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor represents that it has obtained the advice of counsel as to the extent to which suretyship and other defenses may be available to it with respect to its obligations hereunder in the absence of the waivers contained in this Section 13.3.

No delay or omission on the part of the Agent or Lenders in exercising any right under any other Loan Document or under any other guaranty of the Obligations shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such right. No action which the Agent or the Lenders or the Borrowers or any Guarantor may take or refrain from taking with respect to the Obligations shall affect the provisions of this Article XIII or the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. None of the Agent's or Lenders' rights shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrowers or any Guarantor, or by any noncompliance by the Borrowers or any Guarantor with any Loan Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agent or Lenders may have or otherwise be charged with.

SECTION 13.4 <u>Agent's Power to Waive, etc.</u> Each Guarantor grants to the Agent and the Lenders full power in its discretion, without notice to or consent of such Guarantor, such notice and consent being expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without in any way affecting the liability of such Guarantor under its guaranty hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)To waive compliance with, and any Event of Default under, and to consent to any amendment to or modification or termination of any provision of, or to give any waiver in respect of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Obligations or any guaranty thereof (each as from time to time in effect);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To grant any extensions of the Obligations (for any duration), and any other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any total or partial release (by operation of law or otherwise), discharge, compromise or settlement with respect to the obligations of the Loan Parties or any other Person in respect of the Obligations, whether or not rights against such Guarantor under this Agreement are reserved in connection therewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To take security in any form for the Obligations, and to consent to the addition to or the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of, or to deal in any other manner with, any part of any property contained in such collateral whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of such power shall be of a character or value the same as or different from the character or value of any property disposed of, and to obtain, modify or release any present or future guaranties of the Obligations and to proceed against any collateral or such guaranties in any order;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)To collect or liquidate or realize upon any of the Obligations or collateral in any manner or to refrain from collecting or liquidating or realizing upon any of the Obligations or collateral; and

------

date hereof.

SECTION 13.5 <u>Information Regarding the Borrower, etc.</u> Each Guarantor has made such investigation as it deems desirable of the risks undertaken by it in entering into this Agreement and is fully satisfied that it understands all such risks. Each Guarantor waives any obligation which may now or hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Lenders to inform such Guarantor of the risks being undertaken by entering into this Agreement or of any changes in such risks and, from and after the date hereof, each Guarantor undertakes to keep informed of such risks and any changes therein. Each Guarantor expressly waives any duty which may now or hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Lenders to disclose to such Guarantor any matter related to the business, operations, character, collateral, credit, condition (financial or otherwise), income or prospects of the Borrowers and their Affiliates or their properties or management, whether now or hereafter known by the Agent or the Lenders. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees such Guarantor assumes sole responsibility for obtaining from the Borrowers all information concerning this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and all other information as to the Borrowers and their Affiliates or their properties or management as such Guarantor deems necessary or desirable.

SECTION 13.6 <u>Certain Guarantor Representations.</u> Each Guarantor represents that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)it is in its best interest and in pursuit of the purposes for which it was organized as an integral part of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by such Guarantor, and reasonably necessary and convenient in connection with the conduct of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by such Guarantor, to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers by making the guaranty contemplated by this Article XIII;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the credit available under this Agreement will directly or indirectly inure

to its benefit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)by virtue of the foregoing it is receiving at least reasonably equivalent

value from the Lenders for this guaranty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Guarantor will have assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)such Guarantor has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)such Guarantor has the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)such Guarantor has been advised by the Lenders that the Lenders are unwilling to enter into this Agreement unless the guaranty contemplated by this Article XIII is given by it.

SECTION 13.7 <u>Subrogation.</u> Each Guarantor agrees that, until the

------

Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset or other claims against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Guarantor under this Agreement. After the payment in full of the Obligations, each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against the Borrowers all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 13.8 <u>Subordination.</u> Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that all Debt, claims and liabilities now or hereafter owing by the Borrower Parties<u>Borrowers</u> to such Guarantor whether arising hereunder or otherwise, including any obligations between the Borrower Parties<u>Borrowers</u>, are subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and are so subordinated as a claim against the Borrowers or any of their assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no payment with respect to any such Debt, claim or liability will be made or received while any Event of Default exists. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment with respect to any such indebtedness, claim or liability is received by any Guarantor in contravention of this Agreement, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and promptly turned over to it in the original form received by such Guarantor.

SECTION 13.9 <u>Contribution Among Guarantors.</u> The Guarantors agree that, as among themselves in their capacity as guarantors of the Obligations, the ultimate responsibility for repayment of the Obligations, in the event that the Borrowers fail to pay when due their Obligations, shall be equitably apportioned, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, among the respective Guarantors (a) in the proportion that each, in its capacity as a guarantor, has benefited from the extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders under this Agreement, or (b) if such equitable apportionment cannot reasonably be determined or agreed upon among the affected Guarantors, in proportion to their respective net worths determined on or about the date hereof (or such later date as such Guarantor becomes party hereto). In the event that any Guarantor, in its capacity as a guarantor, pays an amount with respect to the Obligations in excess of its proportionate share as set forth in this Section 13.9, each other Guarantor shall, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, make a contribution payment to such Guarantor in an amount such that the aggregate amount paid by each Guarantor reflects its proportionate share of the Obligations. In the event of any default by any Guarantor under this Section 13.9, each other Guarantor will bear, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, its proportionate share of the defaulting Guarantor's obligation under this Section 13.9. This Section 13.9 is intended to set forth only the rights and obligations of the Guarantors among themselves and shall not in any way affect the obligations of any Guarantor to the Lenders under the Loan Documents (which obligations shall at all times constitute the joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors).

SECTION 13.10 <u>Further Assurances.</u> Each Guarantor will, promptly upon the request of Agent from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record, all such instruments, and take all such action, as the Agent deems necessary or advisable to carry out the intent and purpose of this Article XIII.
