THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of May 7, 2018 (this “Agreement”) is entered into among LIFEWAY FOODS,
INC., an Illinois corporation (“Lifeway”), FRESH MADE, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“FMI”),
THE LIFEWAY KEFIR SHOP LLC, an Illinois limited liability company formerly known as STARFRUIT, LLC (“LKS”),
and LIFEWAY WISCONSIN, INC., an Illinois corporation (“LWI” and together with Lifeway, FMI and LKS being sometimes
individually referred to as a “Borrower” and collectively referred to as the “Borrowers”),
and CIBC BANK USA (“CIBC US” or “Lender”), as Lender and as Issuing Lender.

 

Borrowers and Lender
are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of February 6, 2009 (as amended, the “Existing Loan Agreement”)
pursuant to which Lender made available to Borrowers term loans and a revolving loan.

 

Borrowers and Lender
desire to (a) amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement through this Agreement pursuant to which Lender will refinance and
consolidate all of Borrowers’ borrowings under the Existing Loan Agreement into a single revolving credit facility (which
includes letters of credit) and (b) remove Helios Nutrition Limited, a Minnesota corporation and a borrower under the Existing
Loan Agreement, as a borrower under this Agreement, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

In consideration of
the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1

Account Debtor
means any Person who is obligated to any Borrower or any Subsidiary with respect to any Account.

power to vote 5% or more of the securities (on a fully diluted basis) having ordinary voting power for the election of directors
or managers or power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise.
Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, Lender shall not be deemed an Affiliate of any Loan Party. For purposes of clarity, Canadian

carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities
shall be disregarded.

 

(b)            
Changes in GAAP. If any Borrower notifies Lender that any Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof
to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of
such provision (or if Lender notifies any Borrower that Lender requests an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose),
regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision
shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until
such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

 

(c)            
Rates. Lender does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Lender have any liability with respect to
the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect
to any comparable successor rate thereto.

 SECTION 2           COMMITMENTS OF LENDER; BORROWING, CONVERSION AND LETTER OF CREDIT PROCEDURES; EVIDENCING OF LOANS.

 

2.1             Commitments.
On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make loans to, and to issue letters of credit
for the account of, Borrowers as follows:

 

2.1.1         
Revolving Commitment. Lender agrees to make loans on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from
time to time until the Termination Date as Borrowers may request from Lender; provided that after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, the Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability.

 

2.1.2         
Reserved.

 

2.1.3         
L/C Commitment. Subject to Section 2.3.1, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit, in each case
containing such terms and conditions as are permitted by this Agreement and are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (each,
a “Letter of Credit”), at the request of and for the account of Borrowers from time to time before the scheduled
Termination Date; provided that (a) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed $1,000,000
and (b) after giving effect to such issuance, the Revolving Outstandings shall not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability.

 

2.2             Loan Procedures.

 

2.2.1         
Various Types of Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall be either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan (each a “type”
of Loan), as any Borrower shall specify in the related notice of borrowing or conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2
or 2.2.3. LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period which expire on the same day are sometimes called a “Group”
or collectively “Groups”. Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at the same time, provided
that not more than three different Groups of LIBOR Loans shall be outstanding at any one time.

 

2.2.2         
Borrowing Procedures.

 

(a)            
Borrowers shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) substantially
in the form of Exhibit D or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Borrowing) to Lender of each proposed
Base Rate or LIBOR borrowing not later than 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice
shall be effective upon receipt by Lender, shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the date, amount and type of borrowing and,
in the case of a LIBOR borrowing, the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day. Each Base Rate
borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $100,000 and an integral multiple of $50,000, and each LIBOR borrowing shall
be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of at least $500,000.

 

(b)            
Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest,
fees or other charges) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate borrowing of a Revolving Loan on the due date, in the amount
of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition,
Lender may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other accounts of any of Borrowers maintained
with Lender or any of its Affiliates.

Conversion and Continuation Procedures. (a) Subject to Section 2.2.1, Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written
notice to Lender in accordance with clause (b) below:

 

(i)                       elect,
as of any Business Day, to convert any Loans (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and a higher
integral multiple of $500,000) into Loans of the other type; or

 

(ii)                      elect,
as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day
(or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000) for a new Interest
Period;

provided that after giving effect
to any prepayment, conversion or continuation, the aggregate principal amount of each Group of LIBOR Loans shall be at least $1,000,000
and an integral multiple of $500,000.

 

(b)            
Borrowers shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”)
substantially in the form of Exhibit E or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion/Continuation)
to Lender of each proposed conversion or continuation into Base Rate Loans, 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the proposed date of such
conversion, , specifying in each case:

 

(i)                       the
proposed date of conversion or continuation;

 

(ii)                      the
aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

 

(iii)                     the
type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

 

(iv)                     in
the case of conversion into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period therefor.

 

(c)            
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Loans, Borrowers have failed to select timely a new Interest
Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate
Loans effective on the last day of such Interest Period.

 

(d)            
Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section
7.4.

2.2.4           
 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

(a)            
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so long as this Agreement shall be in full force and effect, and
in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein, at any time prior to the Termination
Date, the Borrowers may, by written notice to Lender from time to time request additional revolving loan commitments (each, an
“Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Increase”; each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Increase, an “Incremental
Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000.00 for all such Incremental Facilities from Lender;
provided, (y) that no more than an aggregate of two (2) Incremental Facilities shall be permitted during the term of this
Agreement and (z) any such increase shall be subject to the approval of Lender in its sole discretion. Such notice shall set forth
(i) the amount, type and terms of the Incremental Facility being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000.00
and a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining permitted amount of the Incremental Facilities),
and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five (5) Business
Days nor more than sixty (60) Business Days after the date of such notice). The terms and provisions of each Incremental Revolving
Loan Commitment Increase and loans made thereunder shall be identical to the then existing Revolving Loan Commitments and Revolving
Loans, respectively.

 

(b)            
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.2.4 unless (i)
on the date of such effectiveness, and after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds therefrom, no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1 and all representations
and warranties by the Loan Parties contained herein and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects
(without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such date, except to the extent that such representation
or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date (in which event such representations and warranties are true and correct in all
material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such earlier date), and Lender shall
have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by the Senior Officer of any Borrower, (ii) Lender shall
have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by Lender, and consistent with
those delivered under Section 12.1, and (iii) after giving effect to the funding of such Incremental Facility (assuming
full funding of any Revolving Loans under an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Increase) and the application of the proceeds
from the foregoing Indebtedness, the Loan Parties shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections
11.14 on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements are
required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)            
This Section 2.2.4 shall supersede any provisions in Section 14.1 to the contrary.

 

2.3              
Letter of Credit Procedures.

 

2.3.1           
L/C Applications. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Issuing Lender the Master Letter of Credit Agreement
from time to time in effect. Borrowers shall give notice to the Issuing Lender of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit
on a Business Day which is at least three Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Issuing Lender shall agree in any
particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice
shall be accompanied by an L/C Application, duly executed by Borrowers and in all respects satisfactory to the Issuing Lender,
together with such other documentation as the Issuing Lender may request in support thereof, it being understood that each L/C
Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the expiration
date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than twelve (12) months following scheduled Termination Date (unless such
Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized)) and whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable in whole or in part. Any Letter
of Credit outstanding after the scheduled Termination Date which is Cash Collateralized for the benefit of the Issuing Lender shall
be the sole responsibility of the Issuing Lender. So long as the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12 with respect
to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have been satisfied, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested
issuance date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Master Letter of Credit Agreement, any L/C Application
and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

 

 

    	 	26	 

     

    

 

2.3.2           
Reimbursement Obligations. (a) Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for each payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit honoring any
demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made (including
without limitation, through Borrower’s use of funds from borrowings under this Agreement). Any amount not reimbursed on the
date of such payment or disbursement shall bear interest from the date of such payment or disbursement to the date that the Issuing
Lender is reimbursed by Borrowers therefor, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in
effect plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect plus, beginning on the third Business Day after receipt
of notice from the Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, 2%. The Issuing Lender shall notify Borrowers whenever any demand
for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of the Issuing Lender
to so notify Borrowers shall not affect the rights of the Issuing Lender in any manner whatsoever.

 

(b)          Borrowers’
reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (a) any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right which any Loan Party may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee
of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether
in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (c)
the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the Issuing Lender has determined complies on its face with the
terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (d) the surrender
or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no
action or omission whatsoever by Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any related matters shall result in
any liability of Lender to Borrowers, or relieve Borrowers of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

 

2.4              
Notes. At Lender’s request, the Loans shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to
the order of Lender in a face principal amount equal to the Revolving Commitment.

 

2.5              
Recordkeeping. Lender shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by Lender, each repayment
or conversion thereof and, in the case of each LIBOR Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and
end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the
Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however,
limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder,
together with all interest accruing thereon.

Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows:

 

(a)            
at all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time
in effect plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect; and

 

(b)            
at all times while such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate applicable to each Interest
Period for such Loan plus the LIBOR Margin from time to time in effect;

 

provided that at any time an Event
of Default exists that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, at Lender’s election, the interest rate applicable
to each Loan shall be increased by 2% (and, in the case of Obligations not bearing interest, such Obligations shall bear interest
at the Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans plus 2%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4 that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, such increase shall be effective automatically.
In no event shall interest payable by Borrowers to Lender hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and
if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, such provision shall be deemed modified to limit such
interest to the maximum rate permitted under such law.

 

3.2              
Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each
calendar month and at maturity. Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating
to such Loan, upon a prepayment of such Loan, and at maturity. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists that
has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

 

3.3              
Setting and Notice of LIBO Rates. The applicable LIBO Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by Lender,
and notice thereof shall be given by Lender promptly to Borrowers. Each determination of the applicable LIBO Rate by Lender shall
be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. Lender shall, upon written request of
Borrowers, deliver to Borrowers a statement showing the computations used by Lender in determining any applicable LIBO Rate hereunder.

 

3.4              
Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year
of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the LIBO Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate.
The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

 

SECTION 4           
FEES.

 

4.1              
Non-Use Fee. Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to Lender, for the period from the Closing Date to the
Termination Date, at the Non-Use Fee Rate in effect from time to time of the difference between the Revolving Commitment and the
average daily Revolving Outstandings during the period of calculation. Such non-use fee shall be payable in arrears on the last
day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which such non-use fee shall not have previously
been paid. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

Letter of Credit equal to the L/C Fee Rate in effect from time to time of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (computed
for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days); provided that, at Lender’s election, the
rate applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be increased by 2% at any time that an Event of Default exists and has not been
waived in accordance with Section 14.1. Such letter of credit fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar
quarter and on the Termination Date (or such later date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated) for the period
from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or the last day on which the letter of credit fee was paid with respect
thereto) to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.

 

(b)            
In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Issuing Lender
(i) such fees and expenses as the Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing
and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations and (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee in the amount and at
the times agreed to by Borrowers and the Issuing Lender.

such excess.

 

(c)            
If on any day on which the Revolving Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 5.1.2 the Revolving Outstandings exceeds
the Revolving Commitment, Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans or Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit,

6.3              
Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls
due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless,
in the case of a LIBOR Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case
such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue
and be payable for the period of any such extension.

each other Loan Party then or thereafter with Lender.

 

6.5              
Taxes.

 

(a)

principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any person shall be made by a Loan Party free and clear of and without
deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority.

 

(b)            
If a Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Recipient
hereunder or any other Loan Document: (i) such Loan Party shall make such deductions; (ii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and (iii) if the Taxes are Indemnified Taxes,
the sum payable shall be increased by the Loan Party as much as shall be necessary so that after making all the required deductions

to the sum it should have received had no such deductions been made. In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any
Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority

without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ or tax advisors’ fees and disbursements and Taxes imposed on amounts received
under this Section 6.5) that are paid by, or imposed on, Lender or such other Recipient (and any of their respective affiliates),
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A demand
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Loan Parties by a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If Borrowers make any payment hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of which it is required by applicable law
to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Borrowers shall increase the payment hereunder or under any such Loan Document such that after
the reduction for the amount of Taxes withheld (and any taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional payments required
under this Section 6.5(d)), the amount paid to Lender equals the amount that was payable hereunder or under any such Loan
Document without regard to this Section 6.5(d). To the extent Borrowers withhold any Taxes on payments hereunder or under
any Loan Document, Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment
under applicable law and shall deliver to Lender within 30 days after it has made payment to such authority a receipt issued by
such authority (or other evidence satisfactory to Lender) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld
from such payment.

 

 SECTION 7            INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR LOANS.

 

7.1              
Increased Costs. (a) If, after the date hereof, any Change in Law: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBO Rate pursuant
to Section 3), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by Lender; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified
Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loan, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposit reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans,
its Note or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans; and the result of anything described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above is to
increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) Lender (or any LIBOR Office of Lender) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender (or its LIBOR Office) (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied
by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrowers
shall pay directly to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long
as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is nine months prior to the date on which Lender first made demand therefor
(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

(b)            
If Lender shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, affecting Lender, or any lending
office of Lender, or Lender’s holding company, if any, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s
or Lender’s holding company’s, if any, capital as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any
Letter of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied
by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrowers,
jointly and severally, shall pay to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender or such controlling Person for such
reduction so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is nine months prior to the date on which Lender first
made demand therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

 

 

    	 	32
	 

     

    

 

7.2              
Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

 

(a)            
Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate pursuant
to the definition thereof, including, without limitation because the rate is not published in the Bloomberg Financial Markets
system (or other authoritative source selected by Lender in its sole discretion); or

 

(b)            
Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that for any reason in connection
with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Dollar deposits are not being offered
to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loans, a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall
no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans and such date has occurred, the LIBO Rate as determined
by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period
(taking into account any amount to which Lender may be entitled under this Section 7.2) or that the making or funding of
LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of
Lender materially affects such Loans;

then reasonably promptly after such determination
by Lender, Lender may amend this Agreement (without the need for any action or consent by Borrowers) to (i) replace the LIBO Rate
with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein),
giving due consideration to any existing convention for similar credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed
rate, a “LIBO Successor Rate”), and (ii) make LIBO Successor Rate Conforming Changes and Lender shall give Borrowers
prompt notice thereof (it being understood that such amendment may become effective prior to such notice); provided, that if Lender
has not so amended the Agreement, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (A) Lender shall be under no obligation to, and
shall not, make or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and (B) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each
LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan, until the Lender revokes such
notice.

 

7.3              
Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If any Change in Law should make it (or in the good faith judgment
of Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans or determine or charge interest rates based on the LIBO Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such
circumstances shall continue, (a) Lender shall have no obligation to make or continue LIBOR Loans or convert any Base Rate Loan
into a LIBOR Loan (but shall make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans
by Lender which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted
into by Lender at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each
LIBOR Loan of Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation),
such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by Lender
which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan (an “Affected Loan”)
shall remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the Group of LIBOR Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent
such circumstances.

 

 

 

    	 	33
	 

     

    

 

7.4              
Funding Losses. Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby agree that upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, Borrowers will indemnify Lender against any net
loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan), as reasonably determined by Lender, as a result
of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan of Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period
for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 7.3), (b) any failure of Borrowers to borrow, prepay, convert
or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, prepayment, conversion or continuation pursuant to
this Agreement, (c) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d)
the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period. For this purpose, all notices to Lender pursuant
to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall
pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

7.5              
Right of Lender to Fund through Other Offices. Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any LIBOR
Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes
of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by Lender and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such Loan shall
nevertheless be to Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

 

7.6              
Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Lender
shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood,
however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if Lender had actually funded and
maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding
to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

 

7.7              
Mitigation of Circumstances. Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers of any event of which it has knowledge which
will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise
disadvantageous to Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 6.5
or 7.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 7.2 or 7.3 (and, if Lender has given
notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, Lender shall promptly
so notify any Borrower). Without limiting the foregoing, Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will
avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrowers of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and such designation will not, in Lender’s
sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

7.8              
Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of Lender pursuant to Sections
7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lender may use reasonable averaging
and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 7.1 and 7.4, and the provisions of such Sections
shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Note(s), expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and
termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8           
COLLATERAL AND COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION.

 

8.1              
Grant. Each Loan Party hereby assigns and transfers to Lender and (to the extent provided herein) their Affiliates,
a continuing security interest in all of its Collateral, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance
when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations or the Loan Guarantor Obligations,
as the case may be.

 

8.2              
Reserved.

 

8.3              
Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, Lender shall have the right to make
test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Loan
Party shall furnish all such assistance and information as Lender may require in connection with such test verifications. At any
time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived in
accordance with Section 14.1, upon Lender’s request and at the expense of the relevant Loan Party, such Loan Party shall
cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to Lender to furnish to Lender reports showing reconciliations, agings
and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

 

(b)            
Lender hereby authorizes each Loan Party to collect such Loan Party’s Receivables, and Lender may curtail or terminate
such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance
with Section 14.1. If required by Lender at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that
has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Loan Party, (i) shall be
forthwith (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) deposited by such Loan Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by
such Loan Party to Lender if required, in a collateral account maintained under the sole dominion and control of Lender, subject
to withdrawal by Lender for its own account only as provided in Section 8.7, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held
by such Loan Party in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

 

(c)            
At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been
waived in accordance with Section 14.1, at Lender’s request, each Loan Party shall deliver to Lender all original and other
documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including all original
orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 

8.4              
Communications with Obligors; Loan Parties Remain Liable. (a) Lender in its own name or in the name of others may
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with
Section 14.1 communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to Lender’s satisfaction the existence,
amount and terms of any Receivables.

 

 

 

    	 	35	 

     

    

 

(b)            
Upon the request of Lender at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not
been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, each Loan Party shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have
been assigned to Lender and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to Lender.

 

(c)            
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party shall remain liable in respect of each of the Receivables
to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with
the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Lender shall have no obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement
giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor
shall Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Loan Party under or pursuant to any Receivable
(or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment
received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action
to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled
at any time or times.

 

(d)            
For the purpose of enabling Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby grants to
Lender an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Loan Party) to
use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

8.5              
Investment Property. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, be continuing, and not have been waived
in accordance with Section 14.1, and Lender shall have given notice to the relevant Loan Party of Lender’s intent to exercise
its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 8.5(b), each Loan Party shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and
distributions paid in respect of the Loan Party’s investment and/or capital contribution in the Pledged Equity and all payments
made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in this Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other rights with
respect to the Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or action taken which
could impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document.

 

(b)            
If an Event of Default shall occur, be continuing, and not have been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, and Lender
shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, (i) Lender shall have the right
to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Loan Party’s investment
and/or capital contribution in the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in such order as
Lender may determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee,
it being acknowledged by each Loan Party (in its capacity as Loan Party and, if such Loan Party is an Issuer of any Investment
Property, as Issuer) that such transfer and registration may be effected by Lender by the delivery of a Registration Page to the
applicable Issuer reflecting Lender or its designee as the holder of such Investment Property, or otherwise by Lender through its
irrevocable appointment as attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Agreement and each Irrevocable Proxy, and (iii) Lender or its nominee
may thereafter exercise (x) all voting and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the
equity interests of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription
and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including
the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Loan
Party or Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right
to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property
actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall
not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

 

 

    	 	36
	 

     

    

 

(c)            
Each Loan Party hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Loan Party hereunder
to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from Lender in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions
from such Loan Party, and each Loan Party agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise
expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly
to Lender.

 

(d)            
Any transfer to Lender or its nominee, or registration in the name of Lender or its nominee, of the whole or any part of
the Investment Property, whether by the delivery of a Registration Page to an Issuer or otherwise, shall be made solely for purposes
of effectuating voting or other consensual rights with respect to the Investment Property in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and is not intended to effectuate any transfer of ownership of the Investment Property. Notwithstanding any delivery
or modification of a Registration Page or exercise of an Irrevocable Proxy, Lender shall not be deemed the owner of, or assume
any obligations of the owner or holder of any Investment Property unless and until Lender accepts such obligations in writing or
otherwise takes steps to foreclose its security interest in the Investment Property and become the owner thereof under applicable
law (including via sale as described in this Agreement).

 

8.6              
Proceeds to be Turned Over to Lender. In addition to the rights of Lender specified in Section 8.3 with respect
to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section
14.1, all Proceeds received by such Loan Party consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items shall be held by such
Loan Party in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Loan
Party, be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by such Loan Party (duly indorsed by such Loan Party to Lender, if required).
All Proceeds received by Lender hereunder shall be held by Lender in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and
control. All Proceeds, while held by Lender in any collateral account (or by such Loan Party in trust for Lender) established pursuant
hereto, shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until
applied as provided in Section 8.7.

 

8.7              
Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Lender, or, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, at any time at Lender’s election,
Lender may apply all or any part of Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in
payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its discretion. Any part of such funds which Lender
elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to
time by Lender to the applicable Loan Party or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such
Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full shall be paid over to the applicable Loan Party or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. In the absence of a specific determination by Lender, the Proceeds
from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be applied
in the following order:

 

 

 

    	 	37	 

     

    

 

FIRST, to the
payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities of Lender (in its capacity as such), including Attorney Costs, and any other
Secured Obligations owing to Lender in respect of sums advanced by Lender to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its security
interest in the Collateral, until paid in full;

 

SECOND, to
the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities of Lender, until paid in full;

 

THIRD, to the
payment of all of the Secured Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations and other Bank Product Obligations) consisting of accrued
and unpaid interest owing to Lender, until paid in full;

 

FOURTH, to
the payment of all Secured Obligations consisting of principal or Hedging Obligations owing to Lender, until paid in full;

 

FIFTH, to the
payment of Lender an amount equal to all Secured Obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to be held as cash collateral
in respect of such obligations;

 

SIXTH, to the
payment of all Bank Products Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations) owing to Lender or its Affiliates, until paid in full;

 

SEVENTH, to
the payment of all other Secured Obligations owing to Lender, until paid in full; and

 

EIGHTH, to
the payment of any remaining Proceeds, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such amounts.

 

8.8              
Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing that has not been waived in accordance
with Section 14.1, Lender, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in
any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender, without demand of performance
or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below)
to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived),
may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or
may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof
(or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s
board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part
of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived
and released. Each Loan Party further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender
at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the
net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 8.8, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of
every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating
to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including Attorney Costs to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured
Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount
required by any provision of law, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by them of
any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice
shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

 

    	 	38	 

     

    

 

8.9              
Registration Rights. (a) If Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity
pursuant to Section 8.8, and if in the opinion of Lender it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity, or that
portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Loan Party will cause the Issuer
thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments
and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of Lender, necessary or advisable to register
the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to
cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the
date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto
and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements
of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto. Each Loan Party agrees to cause such Issuer
to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which Lender shall
designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited)
which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

 

(b)            
Each Loan Party recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason
of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled
to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if
such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have
been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity
for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under
the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

 

(c)            
Each Loan Party agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make
such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 8.9 valid and binding and in compliance
with applicable law. Each Loan Party further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8.9
will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8.9 shall be specifically enforceable against such Loan Party, and
such Loan Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement.

 

 

 

    	 	39	 

     

    

 

8.10             Waiver;
Deficiency. Each Loan Party waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-626
of the UCC. Each Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to
collect such deficiency.

 

8.11             Lender’s

its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Investment Property, (3) receive and collect any dividend or

Party might do.

    	 	41	 

     

    

 

Upon exercise of the
proxy set forth herein and until such proxy is revoked all prior proxies given by any Loan Party with respect to any of the Investment
Property (other than to Lender or otherwise pursuant to the Loan Documents) are hereby revoked, and no subsequent proxies (other
than to Lender or otherwise under the Loan Documents) will be given with respect to any of the Investment Property. Lender, as
proxy, will be empowered and may exercise the irrevocable proxy to vote the Investment Property at any and all times, including
but not limited to, at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, however called, and at any adjournment
thereof, or in any action by written consent, and may waive any notice otherwise required in connection therewith. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have no agency, fiduciary or other implied duties to any Loan Party or any other
party when acting in its capacity as such attorney-in-fact or proxy. Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that
it may otherwise have against Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any such agency, fiduciary or other duty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing grant of a power of attorney and proxy, Lender shall have no duty to exercise any such right or to
preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.

 

Anything
in this Section 8.11(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power
of attorney provided for in this Section 8.11(a) except in each case after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1.

 

(b)            
If any Loan Party fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Lender, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

 

(c)            
Each Loan Party hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers,
authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is
terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

 

8.12             Duty
of Lender. Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in
its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither
Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect
or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of any Loan Party or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to
the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interests in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts
that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Loan Party for any act or failure to act hereunder.

 

 

 

    	 	42	 

     

    

 

8.13          
  Acknowledgements. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)            
 it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to which it is a party;

 

(b)            
Lender has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand,
in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)            
no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby the Loan Parties and Lender.

 

8.14          
  Additional Parties. Each Loan Party that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.9(a)
of this Agreement shall become a Loan Party for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Loan Party of
a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

 

8.15          
  Releases. (a)At such time as the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Collateral shall be released
from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination)
of Lender and each Loan Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any
party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Loan Party. At the request and sole expense of any Loan Party following
any such termination, Lender shall deliver to the Loan Parties any Collateral held by Lender hereunder, and execute and deliver
to the Loan Parties such documents as the Loan Parties shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

(b)               If
any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this
Agreement, then Lender, at the request and sole expense of such Loan Party, shall execute and deliver to such Loan Party all releases
or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request
and sole expense of Borrowers, a Loan Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the equity
interests of such Loan Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement;
provided that Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender, with reasonable notice prior to the date of the proposed release,
a written request for release identifying the relevant Loan Guarantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable
detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by Borrowers stating
that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

 

 

    	 	43
	 

     

    

 

8.16             Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Loan Party understands and agrees that the obligations of
each Loan Party under this Agreement shall be construed as continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity
or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or
right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Loan Party or any
other Person against Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Loan Party)
which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Loan Party for the Secured Obligations,
in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder
against any Loan Party or Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights
and remedies as it may have against any other Loan Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for
the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lender to make any such demand, to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Loan Party or any other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Loan Party or any other Person
or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Loan Party of any obligation or liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lender against
any Loan Party. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

8.17             Reinstatement.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Loan
Party or any Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should Loan Party or any Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment
for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of a Loan Party’s
or any Issuer’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment
and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”,
“fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that
any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

SECTION 9           
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

To induce Lender to
enter into this Agreement and to induce Lender to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Loan Party represents
and warrants to Lender that:

 

9.1              
Organization. Each Loan Party is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization;
and each Loan Party is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties,
such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

9.2              
Authorization; No Conflict. Each Loan Party is duly authorized to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which
it is a party, each Borrower is duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder and each Loan Party is duly authorized to perform its
Obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each
Loan Document to which it is a party, and the borrowings by each Borrower hereunder, do not and will not (a) require any consent
or approval of any Governmental Authority (other than any consent or approval which has been obtained and is in full force and
effect), (b) conflict with (i) any provision of law, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Loan Party
or (iii) any agreement, indenture, instrument or other document, or any judgment, order or decree, which is binding upon any Loan
Party or any of their respective properties or (c) require, or result in, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of
any Loan Party (other than Liens in favor of Lender created pursuant to the Collateral Documents).

 

 

 

    	 	44	 

     

    

 

9.3              
Validity and Binding Nature. Each of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles
of equity.

 

9.4              
Financial Condition. The audited consolidated financial statements of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at Borrowers’
Fiscal Year End, December 31, 2017, copies of each of which have been delivered to Lender, were prepared in accordance with GAAP
and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at such date and the results of
their operations for the period then ended.

 

9.5              
No Material Adverse Change. Since Borrowers’ most recent Fiscal Year End, December 31, 2017 there has been
no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the Loan Parties
taken as a whole.

 

9.6              
Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental
investigation or proceeding is pending or, to any Loan Parties’ knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6. Other than any liability
incident to such litigation or proceedings, no Loan Party has any material contingent liabilities not listed on Schedule 9.6
or permitted by Section 11.1.

 

9.7              
Ownership of Properties; Liens. Each Loan Party owns good and, in the case of real property, marketable title to
all of its properties and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever (including patents, trademarks,
trade names, service marks and copyrights), free and clear of all Liens, charges and claims (including infringement claims with
respect to patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and the like) except as permitted by Section 11.2. No financing
statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office,
except filings evidencing Permitted Liens and filings for which termination statements have been delivered to Lender or payoff
letters satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable determination have been delivered to Lender with respect to the Debt to be repaid.

 

9.8              
Equity Ownership; Subsidiaries. All issued and outstanding Capital Securities of each Loan Party are duly authorized
and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and free and clear of all Liens other than those in favor of Lender, and such securities
were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities. Schedule 9.8
sets forth the issued and authorized Capital Securities of each Loan Party (except Lifeway) as of the Closing Date. All of the
issued and outstanding Capital Securities of Borrowers (excluding Lifeway) are owned as set forth on Schedule 9.8 as of
the Closing Date and are, directly or indirectly, owned by Lifeway. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.8, there are no pre-emptive
or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar agreements or understandings for the purchase
or acquisition of any Capital Securities of any Loan Party (except Lifeway).

 

 

 

    	 	45
	 

     

    

 

9.9              
Employee Benefit Plans. (a)Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each
Plan complies with, and has been operated in accordance with, all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Code, and the terms
of such Plan; (ii) any Plan intended by a Loan Party to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified, and (iii) no
Loan Party has any liability for damages, fines, penalties, excise taxes, or other similar amounts with respect to any Plan.

 

(b)            
Each Pension Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No contribution
failure under Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension Plan has occurred with respect to any Pension
Plan, sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA or Section 430(k) of the Code, or otherwise to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits
against any Pension Plan, any fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or any Loan Party or other any member of the Controlled Group with
respect to a Pension Plan or a Multiemployer Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
No Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975
of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan which would subject that
Person to any material liability. Within the past five years, no Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged
in a transaction which resulted in a Pension Plan with an Unfunded Liability being transferred out of the Controlled Group, which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)            
All contributions (if any) have been made to any Multiemployer Pension Plan that are required to be made by any Loan Party
or any other member of the Controlled Group under the terms of the plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable
law; no Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer Pension
Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal
liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued, could result in
a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any such plan; and no Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has received
any notice that any Multiemployer Pension Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction
in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required
under Section 412 of the Code, that any such plan is or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent.

 

9.10              Investment
Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

 

9.11              Compliance
with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof, if not a Loan Party, is in compliance in all material respects with
the requirements of all laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such
instances in which (a) such requirement of law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.12          
  Regulation U. Borrowers are not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

 

 

 

    	 	46	 

     

    

 

9.13             Taxes.
Each Loan Party has timely filed all Tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all Taxes and
governmental charges due and payable with respect to such return or otherwise owing by a Loan Party, except (a) any such Taxes
which are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with
GAAP shall have been set aside on its books and such proceedings stay the enforcement and collection upon any Lien for such Taxes
and (b) any such Taxes where the failure to file any such returns and reports or pay such Taxes or charges would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Loan Parties have made adequate reserves on their books and records in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes
that have accrued but which are not yet due and payable. No Loan Party has participated in any transaction that relates to a year
of the taxpayer (which is still open under the applicable statute of limitations) which is a “reportable transaction”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) (irrespective of the date when the transaction was entered into).

 

9.14             Solvency,
etc. On the Closing Date, and immediately prior to and after giving effect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and each
borrowing hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, with respect to each Loan Party, individually, (a) the fair value of
its assets is greater than the amount of its liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such
value is established and liabilities evaluated in accordance with GAAP, (b) the present fair saleable value of its assets is not
less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c)
it is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated
liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business, (d) it does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (e) it is not engaged in business or a
transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which its property would constitute “unreasonably
small capital” within the context of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and/or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act and
bankruptcy courts interpreting the meaning of such phrase.

 

9.15             Environmental
Matters. The on-going operations of each Loan Party comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws, except such non-compliance
which could not (if enforced in accordance with applicable law) reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has obtained, and maintained in good standing, all licenses, permits,
authorizations, registrations and other approvals (i) required under any Environmental Law and (ii) required for their respective
ordinary course operations, and for their reasonably anticipated future operations; and each Loan Party is in compliance with
all terms and conditions thereof, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result, either individually
or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or any of its properties or operations is subject to, or reasonably
anticipates the issuance of, any written order from or agreement with any Governmental Authority, nor subject to any judicial
or docketed administrative or other proceeding, respecting any Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or Hazardous Substance that
could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Hazardous
Substances or other conditions or circumstances existing with respect to any property, arising from operations prior to the Closing
Date, or relating to any waste disposal, of any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or
in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party has any underground storage tanks that are not properly registered
or permitted under applicable Environmental Laws or that at any time have released, leaked, disposed of or otherwise discharged
Hazardous Substances.

 

9.16             Insurance.
Set forth on Schedule 9.16 is a complete and accurate summary of the property and casualty insurance program of the Loan
Parties as of the Closing Date (including the names of all insurers, policy numbers, expiration dates, amounts and types of coverage,
annual premiums, exclusions, deductibles, self-insured retention, and a description in reasonable detail of any self-insurance
program, retrospective rating plan, fronting arrangement or other risk assumption arrangement involving any Loan Party). Each
Loan Party and its properties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies which are not Affiliates of
the Loan Parties, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as the Loan Parties reasonably believe are customarily
carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where such Loan Parties operate.

9.17             Real
Property; Collateral Locations. Set forth on Schedule 9.17A is a complete and accurate list of (a) the address of all
real property owned or leased by any Loan Party, together with, in the case of leased property, the name and mailing address of
the lessor of such property and (b) each place of business of each Loan Party (including its chief executive office). Set forth
on Schedule 9.17B is a complete and accurate list of (a) all locations where all Inventory and the Equipment owned by each Loan
Party is kept, except with respect to Inventory and Equipment with a fair market value of less than $50,000.00 (in the aggregate
for all Loan Parties) which may be located at other locations and (b) whether each such Collateral location and place of business
(including each Loan Party’s chief executive office) is owned or leased (and if leased, specifies the complete name and
notice address of each lessor). Except as permitted pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof, no Collateral is located outside the
United States or in the possession of any lessor, bailee, warehouseman or consignee, except as indicated on Schedule 9.17.

reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of a claim which could become a Lien on any collateral,
such contest proceedings shall stay the foreclosure of such Lien or the sale of any portion of the collateral to satisfy such claim.

interests in the collateral, maintain all of their principal deposit accounts with Lender; provided, however, if and to the extent
Lender consents to any Loan Party maintaining one or more such accounts with any other Person, at Lender’s request such
accounts shall be subject to a deposit account control agreement or other agreement acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion
in order for Lender to maintain control of such account under the UCC to perfect the Lender’s security interest therein.

 

10.11          Delivery

any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper not theretofore delivered to Lender and at such time being held by any
Loan Party shall be immediately delivered to Lender, duly indorsed in a manner satisfactory to Lender, to be held as Collateral

shall be kept:

any of the Inventory or Equipment to be kept at a location other than those listed on Schedule 9.17; provided, that
up to $65,000.00 (in the aggregate for all Loan Parties) in fair market value of any such Inventory and Equipment may be kept at
other locations;

 

(ii)        change
its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office from that specified on Schedule 9.17 or in

or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (ii) a duly executed irrevocable proxy (“Irrevocable Proxy”),
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and (iii) a duly
acknowledged equity interest registration page in blank (“Registration Page”), from the applicable Issuer, substantially

entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate, option or rights in respect of the equity interests of any Issuer, whether
in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Equity, or otherwise in respect
thereof, such Loan Party shall accept the same as the agent of Lender, hold the same in trust for Lender and deliver the same forthwith
to Lender in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Loan Party to Lender, if required, together with an undated Instrument
of Transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Loan Party and with, if Lender so requests, signature guarantied,
to be held by Lender, subject to the terms hereof, as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations. If any Loan Party acquires
Pledged Equity with respect to any Issuer following the date hereof that is not an Issuer of Pledged Equity as of the date hereof,
such Loan shall deliver an executed Irrevocable Proxy and Registration Page with respect to such new Issuer to Lender. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, (i) any
sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to
Lender to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations, and (ii) in case any distribution of capital

held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 14.1, if any sums of money or property so paid or distributed
in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such Loan Party, such Loan Party shall, until such money or property
is paid or delivered to Lender, hold such money or property in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party,
as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations.

Agreement, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement) other than, with respect
to Investment Property not constituting Pledged Equity or Pledged Notes, any such action which is not prohibited by this Agreement,
(iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for Permitted Liens, or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking
restricting the right or ability of such Loan Party or Lender to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds

respect to Persons in which such Loan Party maintains an ownership interest of 50% or less.

 

(c)

it will notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.13(a) with respect
to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 8.5(c) and 8.9 shall apply to such Loan Party
with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 8.5(c) or 8.9 regarding the Investment
Property issued by it.

 

10.14       
Receivables. (a) Other than in the ordinary course of business in amounts which are not material to such Loan Party,
such Loan Party will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable
for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable,
(iv) allow any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any manner
that could adversely affect the value thereof.

or calls into doubt the validity or enforceability of more than 5% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Receivables
for all Loan Parties.

 

10.15       
Intellectual Property. For each Trademark that Loan Party determines in good faith is material to its business, (a)

through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any such Patent may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated
to the public.

 

(c)            
For each Copyright that Loan Party determines in good faith is material to its business, such Loan Party (either itself
or through licensees) (i) will employ each such Copyright and (ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof
to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may become invalidated or otherwise
impaired. Such Loan Party will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights
may fall into the public domain.

(e)             Such
Loan Party will notify Lender immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to
any material Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination
or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding, such Loan
Party’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Loan Party’s right to register
the same or to own and maintain the same.

 

(f)             
If such Loan Party, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for
the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office
or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Loan Party shall report such filing

Loan Party will take all reasonable and necessary steps to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration)
and to maintain each registration of all Intellectual Property owned by it that it determines in good faith is material to its

a fair market value in excess of $50,000.00 and (b) each landlord which leases real property (and the accompanying facilities)
to any of the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date. Such 30 day period may be extended or such requirement may be waived at the
option of Lender. If any Loan Party shall cause to be delivered Inventory or other property in excess of $50,000.00 in fair market
value to any bailee after the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall use reasonable efforts to cause such bailee to sign a Collateral
Access Agreement. Such requirement may be waived at the option of Lender. If any Loan Party shall lease any real property or facilities
and the value of property of such Loan Party located at such leased real property is in excess of $50,000.00 in fair market value

facilities to sign a Collateral Access Agreement. Such requirement may be waived at the option of Lender.

 

 

 

    	 	61	 

     

    

 

(b)            
Each Loan Party authorizes Lender to, at any time and from time to time, file financing statements, continuation statements,
and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral as “all assets” of each Loan Party, or words of similar effect,
and which contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing
statement, continuation statement, or amendment, and each Loan Party agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly
upon request. Any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be signed by Lender on behalf of any Loan
Party and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction.

 

(c)            
Each Loan Party shall, at any time and from time and to time, take such steps as Lender may reasonably request for Lender
(i) to obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of any bailee having possession
of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds such Collateral for Lender, (ii) to obtain “control” of
any letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof
defining what constitutes “control” for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority
of Lender’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If any Loan Party shall
at any time, have any rights in respect of a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) in excess
of $50,000.00, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing and supplement Schedule 10.17, therein providing
a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to Lender, such Loan Party shall be deemed to thereby grant
to Lender (and such Loan Party hereby grants to Lender) a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all
proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement.

 

(d)            
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Loan Party at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction,
such Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request of Lender, shall take such action as Lender may reasonably
request to vest in Lender “control” under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under
Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

 

10.18       
This Agreement. Each of the Loan Parties (other than Borrowers) covenants that it will, and, if necessary, will cause
or enable Borrowers to, fully comply with each of the covenants and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

 

10.19       
Dissolution of Helios. On or before June 30, 2018, Borrowers shall provide Lender with evidence that Helios has been
liquidated with any and all assets of Helios being distributed to one or more of the Borrowers and that Borrowers have filed with
the State of Minnesota a Notice of Dissolution and Articles of Dissolution and Termination.

of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective unless set forth in writing signed by

purpose for which given. Failure by Lender to insist upon full and prompt performance of any provisions of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or to take action in the event of any breach of any such provision or upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of Lender, and Lender may at any time thereafter exercise all available
rights and remedies with respect to such breach or Event of Default. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right,
power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Receipt by Lender of any instrument
or document shall not constitute or be deemed to be an approval thereof. Any approvals required under any of the other Loan Documents
must be in writing, signed by Lender and directed to Borrower.

 

14.2          
Confirmations. Each Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by

prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes
of Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, Lender shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Lender
in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of each Borrower, and Borrowers shall hold Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof

except as recorded in such Participation Register. Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and
payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of
its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as
if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Agreement; provided that such
right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lender, and Lender agrees to share with each
Participant, on a pro rata basis. Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.5
or 7 as if it were Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any
greater compensation pursuant to Section 6.5 or 7 than would have been paid to Lender on such date if no participation
had been sold and that each Participant complies with Section 6.5(d) as if it were a direct assignee). This Section and
Section 14.13.1 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” for the

FORM OF IRREVOCABLE PROXY

 

(Interests of [____________])

 

For good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by
law) appoints and constitutes CIBC Bank USA, as Lender (the “Proxy Holder”), the attorney and proxy of the undersigned
with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to all of
the [Pledged] Equity Interests (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, defined below) which constitute the shares or other
equity interests (the “Interests”) of [________________] (the “Company”). Upon the
execution hereof, all prior proxies given by the undersigned with respect to any of the Interests are hereby revoked, and no subsequent
proxies will be given with respect to any of the Interests.

 

This proxy is irrevocable,
is coupled with an interest and is granted for the benefit of the Proxy Holder pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan
and Security Agreement dated as of May [__], 2018 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan

to such terms in the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

The Proxy Holder named
above will be empowered and may exercise this irrevocable proxy to vote the Interests at any and all times after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, including but not limited to, at any meeting of the equity holders of the Company,
however called, and at any adjournment thereof, or in any written action by consent of the equity holders of the Company. This
proxy shall remain in effect with respect to the Interests as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other
than contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto have

or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Proxy Holder as a preference,
fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made
(provided, that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned,
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred
by Proxy Holder in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations),
notwithstanding any time limitations set forth in the operating agreement and other organizational documents of the Company or
the [general corporation law] of the State of [jurisdiction of Issuer’s organization].

 

Any obligation of the
undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned (including any transferee of any
of the Interests).

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
undersigned has executed this irrevocable proxy as of this ____ day of ____________, 201_.
