(D) if a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) The Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its

Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

SECTION 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loan, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that:

4.1 [Reserved].

4.2 No Change. Since the date of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, formation, incorporation, amalgamation or continuation, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its material property, to lease the material property it operates as lessee and to conduct the material business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the nature of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or good standing, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in material compliance with all Requirements of Law except in such instances in which (i) such Requirement of Law is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and the prosecution of such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power, Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices described on Schedule 4.4, which Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and (iii) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices, the failure of

which to obtain, make or give would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate (i) any Requirement of Law (except as set forth on Schedule 4.5), (ii) any organizational documents, shareholder agreements, voting agreements or similar agreements of any Loan Party, or (iii) any Material Contract of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any Material Contract (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.2). No Loan Party has violated or failed to comply with any Material Contract applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The absence of obtaining the Governmental Approvals described on Schedule 4.4 and the violations of Requirements of Law referenced on Schedule 4.5 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or assets that (a) purport to affect or pertain to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would, result from the making of a requested credit extension hereunder.

No Loan Party owns any Investment except as permitted by Section 7.6.

(b) no Loan Party has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability, in each case, pending and in writing, regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Loan Party (the “Business”), nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened;

The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lender that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lender or its designee for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

4.19 Security Documents. Subject to the time periods set forth in Schedule 5.2, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Lender a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that are securities represented by stock certificates or otherwise constituting certificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction (“Certificated Securities”), when certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Lender, and in the case of the other Collateral constituting personal property described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.19 in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19, the Lender shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the UCC or upon the receipt and recording of an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the USCRO or the USPTO, as applicable, in each case, prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.2 or in the case of Collateral that is Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.2 which arise by operation of law). Each of the Mortgages delivered after the Closing Date will be, upon execution, effective to create in favor of the Lender a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices for the applicable jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located, each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case, prior and superior in right to any other Person (subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.2).

All insurance maintained by the Loan Parties is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly paid, no Loan Party has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof, and each Loan Party has complied in all material respects with the requirements of each such policy except to the extent any such non-compliance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party maintains insurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies on all its properties in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, business interruption and property damage insurance) as are usually insured against by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Loan Parties operate.

No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary of any Loan Party has received during the past five (5) years a notice alleging a violation by any Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party, or an officer or director of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any employee or agent authorized to act on behalf of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party, of Anti-Terrorism, Export/Import Controls or Sanctions.

No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary of any Loan Party has received during the past five (5) years a notice alleging a violation by any Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party, or any of their officers, directors, employees, or agents of Anti-Corruption Laws.

4.26 Leases. All leases of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that are material to their business are valid and subsisting and no default by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries exists under any of them which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.27 Senior Indebtedness. All Obligations including those to pay principal of and interest (including post-petition interest, whether or not allowed as a claim under bankruptcy or similar laws) on the Term Loan and other Obligations, and fees and expenses in connection therewith, constitute “Senior Indebtedness” or similar term relating to the Obligations.

4.28 Material Contracts. Each Material Contract (a) is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against each Loan Party that is a party thereto and, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, all other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, (b) except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.17, has not been otherwise amended or modified in any material respect, and (c) is not in default due to the action of any Loan Party or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, any other party thereto; in each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Lender may take any or all of the following actions:

(a) [reserved];

(b) declare all outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding amounts of the Term Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium or the Make-Whole Amount, if any, that would have been due and payable if the Term Loan was prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.6 on the date of such acceleration and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and

provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f), all outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding amounts of the Term Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium or the Make-Whole Amount that would have been due and payable if the Term Loan was optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 or mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6 on the date of such acceleration and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically immediately become due and payable.

It is understood and agreed that if the Term Loan is accelerated or otherwise becomes due prior to the Maturity Date, including without limitation as a result of any Event of Default set forth in Section 8.1(f) (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law), the Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, that would have been payable if the Term Loan was optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 or mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6 on such date of acceleration will also automatically be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Obligations with respect to the Term Loan. In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof, any such Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Lender as the result of the early prepayment and each of the Loan Parties agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION, ANY RESCISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY PROCEEDING UNDER DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS. Each of the Loan Parties expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) each of the Prepayment Premium and the Make- Whole Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) each of the Prepayment Premium and the Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lender and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such Prepayment Premium and Make-Whole Amount; and (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Loan Parties expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay such Prepayment Premium and Make-Whole Amount to the Lender as herein described is a material inducement to the Lender to enter into this Agreement.

10.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby provided that: (i) neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender and (ii) the Lender or any Affiliate thereof may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (1) the Lender or any of its Affiliates or (2) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, then no such consent of the Borrower shall be required; provided that if Lender requests such consent and Borrower has not responded to such request within 5 days, then such consent shall be deemed to have been given. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, for the benefit of the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Certain Pledges.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Loan Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower in writing promptly after any such setoff and application made by the Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lender or its Affiliates may have.

10.8 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including

pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, custodian or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

10.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest, at the option of the Lender, shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.12 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude the Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Lender;

(b) hereby agrees that service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the relevant party at the addresses set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid;

(c) WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS.

Each Grantor hereby releases the Lender from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Lender under the powers of attorney herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The license described in this Section 6.6(a) shall terminate automatically upon the earlier of the waiver or cure of the applicable Event of Default and the Discharge of Obligations; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Section 6.6.

(b)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the 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, the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or 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 the 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 without assumption of any credit risk. The 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 Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5, only 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 the Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as is contemplated by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, but only to the extent of the surplus, if any, owing to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by any of them of any rights after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 by the Lender to each Grantor at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. The Lender may sell any Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, merchantability or the like.

6.7Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

6.8Private Sales. Each Grantor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, 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 Grantor 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. Subject to its compliance with state securities laws applicable to private sales, the Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially


18

reasonable efforts to promptly do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.8 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.8 may cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender may have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.8 may be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor 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 the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 7.THE LENDER

7.1The Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a)Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Lender the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i)in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable;

(ii)in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor constituting Collateral, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may reasonably request to evidence the Lender’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby in accordance with the terms hereof;

(iii)pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv)execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any permitted licenses and reserved rights permitted under the Loan Documents, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Lender shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Lender’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect,


19

preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender shall not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the 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)The expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Lender to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Lender on demand.

(d)Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said 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.

7.2Duty of the Lender. The Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. The Lender and its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall not be liable for 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 Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The 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 Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3Lender and Collateral. The Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Lender in good faith. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurance of payment of, the Secured Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of the rights of the Lender hereunder and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of all such laws.

SECTION 8.MISCELLANEOUS

8.3No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy


20

which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

8.9Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors and the Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

QT IMAGING HOLDINGS, INC.

Date: February [ ], 2025

This Compliance Certificate (this “Compliance Certificate”) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of February [__], 2025, entered into by and among QT IMAGING HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and LYNROCK LAKE MASTER FUND LP (the “Lender”) (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, restructured or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned, a duly authorized and acting Responsible Officer, hereby certifies on behalf of the Borrower, in his/her capacity as a Responsible Officer, and not in any personal capacity, as of the date hereof, as follows:

1.I have reviewed and am familiar with the contents of this Compliance Certificate.

2.I have reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have made, or caused to be made under my supervision, a review in reasonable detail of the transactions and condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the accounting period covered by the financial statements attached hereto as Attachment 1 (the “Financial Statements”), which financial statements, if delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, were prepared on a basis consistent with prior practices and are complete and correct in all material respects, subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments that individually and in the aggregate are not material to the Borrower’s business operations. Except as set forth on Attachment 2, such review did not disclose the existence during or at the end of the accounting period covered by the Financial Statements, and I have no knowledge of the existence, as of the date of this Compliance Certificate, of any condition or event which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, or any failure of any Loan Party during such period to observe or perform all of its covenants and other agreements, or to satisfy every condition contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to be observed, performed or satisfied by it.

3.Except as set forth on Attachment 3 or as previously disclosed to the Lender, there has been no change in the jurisdiction of organization of any Loan Party.

(Please see attached form)

INTERCOMPANY NOTE

Note Number: Dated: February [__], 2025

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, QT Imaging Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), QT Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QT Imaging”), QT Ultrasound Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QT Ultrasound”, and together with QT Imaging, collectively, the “Initial Guarantors” and each, an “Initial Guarantor”), and certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower (together with the Borrower and the Initial Guarantors, collectively, the “Group Members” and each, a “Group Member”) which are parties to this intercompany note (this “Promissory Note”) promise to pay to the order of such other Group Member as it makes loans to such Group Member (each Group Member which borrows money pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Group Member which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payee”), on demand, in lawful money as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule A attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the books and records of such Payee. The failure to show any such Indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and between the Borrower and Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (the “Lender”).

The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest, if any, at a rate equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Interest, if any, shall be due and payable at such times as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Upon payment of any principal amount hereof, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount shall also be due and payable. Interest, if any, shall be paid in any lawful currency as may be agreed upon by the relevant Payor and Payee and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed as agreed between the relevant Payor and Payee.

Each Payor and any endorser of this Promissory Note hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Promissory Note has been pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Lender under the Credit Agreement to the Lender as security for such Payee’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Payee is a party. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may exercise all the rights of each Payee that is a Loan Party under this Promissory Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.

Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against any Payor that is a Loan Party or any endorser of this Promissory Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted); provided, that each Payor that is

a Loan Party may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Promissory Note shall be received by the applicable Payor subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to the Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Lender in such assets. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Payees shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted), have been paid in full.

After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if all or any part of the assets of any Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of any Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Payor is dissolved or if (except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents) all or substantially all of the assets of any Payor are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of such Payor to any Payee (“Payor Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for application to any of the Obligations due or to become due, until the date on which the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted), have been paid in full. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Lender as such ▇▇▇▇▇’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Lender’s own name or in the name of such Payee or otherwise, as the Lender may deem necessary for the enforcement of this Promissory Note. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party also agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness requested by the Lender. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding (and the applicable Payee shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by any Payee that is a Loan Party upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee prior to such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted), have been paid in full, such Payee that is a Loan Party shall receive and hold the same

for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Lender’s judgment), for application to any of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement , due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee for the benefit of the Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Lender the Lender or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Payee that is a Loan Party agrees that until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted), have been paid in full, such Payee will not (i) assign or transfer, or agree to assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement) any claim such Payee has or may have against any Payor, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, discount or extend the time for payment of any Payor Indebtedness, or (iii) otherwise amend, modify, supplement, waive or fails to enforce any provision of this Promissory Note. Each Payee agrees that no payment or distribution to the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Promissory Note will entitle such Payee to, directly or indirectly, exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted), have been paid in full.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Credit Agreement, in any other Loan Document or in any such promissory note or other instrument, this Promissory Note shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Group Member to any other Group Member.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Group Members may become parties hereto as Payors and Payees by executing a counterpart signature page to this Promissory Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the existing parties, notice of which is hereby waived by the existing parties, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and a Payee and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor and a Payee hereunder. This Promissory Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or a Payee hereunder.

This Promissory Note may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Promissory Note on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
