LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (together with all schedules, exhibits and the Perfection Certificate delivered in connection herewith from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into this 29^th day of March, 2021, among SILVERPEAKSILVERVIEW CREDIT PARTNERS LP (f/k/a Silverpeak Credit Partners, LP), a Delaware limited partnership as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, and together with any successor agent, the “Agent”), the financial institutions and other institutional investors from time to time party hereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), HERITAGE DISTILLING COMPANY, INC., a Washington corporation, as borrower (the “Borrower”), and HERITAGE DISTILLING HOLDING COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation, as holdings (“Holdings”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Terms Schedule or the Definitions Schedule annexed hereto, as applicable. All schedules, and exhibits annexed hereto, as well as the Perfection Certificate, are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

1.1 Term Loan.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make a loan in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,500,000 to the Borrower (the “Initial Term Loan”) on the Closing Date in an amount, as to each Lender, equal to such Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Initial Term Loan.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Agent of each of the Incremental Closing Conditions, the Lenders agree to make an additional loan in one (1) drawing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 to the Borrower (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the Incremental Closing Date in an amount, as to each Lender, equal to such Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Incremental Term Loan.

(c) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Agent of each of the Delayed Draw Closing Conditions, the Lenders agree to make an additional loan in one (1) drawing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,500,000 to the Borrower (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and, with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the Delayed Draw Closing Date in an amount, as to each Lender, equal to such Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loan.

(d) Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may not be reborrowed. The proceeds of the Term Loan may be used by the Borrower (i) with respect to the Initial Term Loan, (A) to fund the Transactions, (B) for general corporate purposes and (C) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, and (ii) with respect to the Incremental Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, for general corporate purposes (including the repayment in full of the Channel Partners Debt, Permitted Acquisitions and other investments permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). In no event may the proceeds of any Term Loan be used to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock, as defined by Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Term Loan and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent (including the Loan Account) and by the Note(s).

1.2 Payments.

(a) All payments with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to Agent for the account of the Lenders in United States dollars on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any offset or counterclaim. Except where evidenced by Notes or other instruments made by the Borrower to Lender specifically containing payment provisions in conflict with this Section 1.2 (in which event the conflicting provisions of such instruments shall govern and control), the Obligations shall be due and payable as follows:

(i) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan in installments payable on the dates set forth below in the amounts set forth opposite such date (and on such other date(s) and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement) (each such date, an “Installment Payment Date”):

Further, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal amount payable of the Term Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any), and any fees and expenses payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable immediately upon the Maturity Date.

(ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of the Term Loan shall be due and payable on (x) the fifteenth (15^th) day of each calendar month (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), in arrears, computed for the period from and including the previous Interest Payment Date (or the Closing Date, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date, with the first Interest Payment Date after the Closing Date to occur on May 15, 2021; and (y) the Maturity Date, and, to the extent applicable, any interest payable in kind shall be added to the principal amount of the Obligations as of each Interest Payment Date, and interest shall accrue on such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(iii) The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be due and payable as and when provided in the Loan Documents, or, if the date of payment is not specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.

(iv) Mandatory Prepayments.

(A) Immediately upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall prepay all of the outstanding Obligations, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any;

(B) Immediately upon the receipt by any Obligor of any Net Proceeds from the incurrence of any Debt (other than Debt permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.3), the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from such incurrence of Debt plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any;

(C) Immediately upon the occurrence of any Permitted Asset Disposition pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Borrower agrees to prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from such Permitted Asset Disposition plus, to the extent applicable, the exit fee pursuant to Item 5 of the Terms Schedule (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Prepayment Premium shall apply with respect to any prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to this clause (C));

(D) Immediately upon any Obligor suffering an Event of Loss of any property, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from such Event of Loss plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any; provided, that if the Borrower notifies the Agent upon or prior to receipt of such Net Proceeds that the Borrower intends to replace or repair the property in respect of which such Net Proceeds are received, then the Borrower may apply all or any part of such Net Proceeds to such replacement or repair of property, so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such Net Proceeds are actually applied to such replacement or repair within 180 days of receipt (or committed in writing to be so applied within 180 days of receipt and deposited in an escrow account of the Borrower until so applied), and provided, further, that to the extent any such Net Proceeds are not actually so applied within the time periods specified in the foregoing clause (ii) or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before such Net Proceeds have been so applied or committed in writing to be applied, then such Net Proceeds shall be immediately applied to prepay the Obligations;

(E) Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and immediately upon the receipt by Holdings of the net proceeds thereof, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to Two Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($2,375,000.00) plus the applicable Prepayment Premium;

(F) (E) Each prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 1.2(a)(iv)(A)-(DE) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.7; and

(v) The Borrower may prepay, in whole or in part, the Obligations at any time upon not less than thirty (30) Business Days written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any.

(b) Whenever any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall continue to accrue and shall be payable for the period pending receipt of the payment at the rate (or rates) otherwise applicable under this Agreement. If any amount applied to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such amount had not been made or received. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment in full of the Obligations.

(c) Without limiting any other provision contained in this Agreement with respect to the payment of the Prepayment Premium in connection with the payment of all or any portion of the Term Loan prior to the Maturity Date, in the event of the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the Maturity Date, for any reason, including (i) termination upon the election of the Agent or the Lenders to terminate after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (ii) foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (iii) sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (iv) restructuring, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, then, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Agent and the Lenders or profits lost by the Agent and the Lenders as a result of such early termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders, the Prepayment Premium, measured as of the date of such termination (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Prepayment Premium shall be payable in connection with any payments made in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(i)).

1.3 Interest Rates. The principal balance of the Term Loan and other Obligations outstanding from time to time shall bear interest from the respective dates such principal amounts or other Obligations are advanced or incurred or outstanding until paid, (a) during the PIK Interest Option Period, at the Borrower’s election at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the PIK Interest Option Rate or (ii) the Cash Interest Rate, and (b) during the Cash Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the Cash Interest Rate. All interest chargeable under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At any time that a Default or Event of Default exists, the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

1.4 Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses. In addition to any other fees, expenses or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent and/or the Lenders, including, but not limited, to those pursuant to Section 8.8:

(a) The Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders the fees set forth in Item 5(a) of the Terms Schedule; and

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse Agent and each Lender for all Lender Expenses and all other expenses as set forth in Item 5(b) of the Terms Schedule.

All fees shall be fully earned by Agent and each Lender, as applicable, when due and payable; except as otherwise set forth herein or required by applicable law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration; are and shall be deemed to be for compensation for services; and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. All amounts chargeable to the Borrower under this Section 1.4 shall be Obligations secured by the Collateral, shall be payable on demand to Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, and shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the rate applicable to the Term Loan from time to time.

1.5 Maximum Interest. In no event shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the highest rate permissible under any applicable law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If any interest is charged or received in excess of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law (“Excess”), the Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to the Borrower, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or other illegal relationship. The provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein).

1.6 Loan Account; Account Stated. Agent shall maintain for its books an account (the “Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations resulting from the Term Loan, including the amount of principal and interest payable from time to time hereunder. Any failure of Agent to make an entry in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the agreement of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. The entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information therein, provided that if a copy of information contained in the Loan Account is provided to an Obligor, or an Obligor inspects the Loan Account at any time, then the information contained in the Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding on such Obligor for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless such Obligor notifies Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after such Obligor’s receipt of such copy or such Obligor’s inspection of the Loan Account that it disputes the information contained therein.

1.7 [Reserved] Application of Payments and Collections All payments pursuant to Sections 1.2 (a)(iv) and 1.2(a)(v) shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans in the direct order of maturity.

1.8 Collateral. All of the Obligations shall be secured by a continuing security interest and Lien upon the Collateral as and to the extent provided in the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents.

1.9 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Change in Law shall result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, liquidity, 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 any Lender; or shall subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to the Term Loan or any Loan Document, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof; or shall impose on any Lender or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting the Term Loan or any Loan Document; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or Lender’s Term Loan, to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for any such reduction suffered.

2.1 Term. The Term Loan shall become effective on the date of this Agreement (subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof) and shall expire at the close of business on the Maturity Date (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated (by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.1 Closing Conditions. The Lenders shall not be obligated to make any extension of credit hereunder unless, on or before the Closing Date, each of the following conditions has been satisfied or waived by the Agent:

(a) the Borrower and each other Person that is to be a party to any Loan Document shall have executed and delivered each such Loan Document, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent;

(b) the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Agent the documents described in Item 7 of the Terms Schedule, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent;

(c) the Agent shall have received from the Borrower a notice of borrowing and such other information as Agent requests in connection with the funding of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall exist (whether before or upon giving effect to the funding of the Initial Term Loan);

(e) all representations and warranties made by any Obligor in any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise in writing to the Agent, shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if already qualified as to materiality, in all respects);

(f) the Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that each Lien granted by any Obligor under any Loan Document is a valid, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens as set forth in clause (vii) of the definition of Permitted Liens) Lien, and that there are no Liens upon any Collateral other than Permitted Liens;

(g) the Agent shall have received assurances, reasonably satisfactory to it, that no litigation is pending or threatened against any Obligor or any Collateral which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(h) the Agent and the Lenders shall have completed their respective legal and business due diligence investigations with results satisfactory to the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in their sole discretion; and

(i) the Borrower shall have satisfied such additional closing conditions as are set forth in Item 8 of the Terms Schedule.

To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit, each Obligor makes the following representations and warranties (in each case, upon giving effect to the Transactions, as of each of the Closing Date, the Incremental Closing Date and the Delayed Draw Closing Date):

4.1 Existence and Rights; Predecessors. Each Obligor is an entity as described in the Perfection Certificate, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified or licensed to transact business in all places where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; has the right and power to enter into and discharge all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, each of which constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and has the power, authority, rights and franchises to own its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Except for the 2019 reorganization resulting in the creation of Holdings or as may be otherwise described in the Perfection Certificate, during the five (5) year period prior to the date of this Agreement, no Obligor has been a party to any merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of any other Person and has not changed its legal status or the jurisdiction in which it is organized.

4.2 Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower and each other Person (other than the Agent and the Lenders) executing any Loan Document have been duly authorized by all necessary actions of such Person, and do not and will not violate any provision of law, or any writ, order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority or agency, or any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Person, and do not and will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of such Person pursuant to, any law, regulation, instrument or agreement to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or its respective properties may be subject or bound.

4.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed in writing to the Agent prior to the Closing Date, there are no actions or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of any Obligor, threatened, against any Obligor before any court or administrative agency, and no Obligor has any knowledge or belief of any pending, threatened or imminent governmental investigations or claims, complaints, actions or prosecutions involving any Obligor. No Obligor is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any Governmental Authority.

No exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Agent or the Lenders of any Default or Event of Default on one occasion shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver or applicable to any other occasion.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to Accounting Standards Codification 842 (or any other existing or future Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar effect or result) and related interpretations (collectively, “ASC 842”) to the extent the effect would be to cause leases which would be treated as operating leases under GAAP immediately prior to the effectiveness of ASC 842 to be recorded as a liability or as debt on any Person’s statement of financial position under GAAP.

8.2 Certain Matters of Construction.

Whenever in any provision of this Agreement the Agent is authorized to take or decline to take any action (including making any determination) in the exercise of its “discretion,” such provision shall be understood to mean that Lender may take or refrain to take such action in its sole and absolute discretion (unless such discretion is qualified by the term “reasonable” in the applicable provision). Whenever the phrase “to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge” or words of similar import relating to the knowledge or the awareness of the Borrower are used in this Agreement or other Loan Documents, such phrase shall mean and refer to the actual knowledge of any Senior Officer of the Borrower.

8.3 Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and any of the Agent’s officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent), with full power of substitution, as such Obligor’s true and lawful attorney, in such Obligor’s or the Agent’s name: (a) to endorse such Obligor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into the Agent’s possession; (b) during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign such Obligor’s name on drafts against Account Debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts, on notices to Account Debtors and on any Account invoice or bill of lading; (c) during the continuance of an Event of Default, to send requests for verification of Accounts, and to contact Account Debtors in any other manner to verify the Accounts; (d) during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Obligor’s mail to any address designated by the Agent, to receive and open all mail addressed to such Obligor, and to retain all mail relating to the Collateral and forward, within two (2) Business Days of the Agent’s receipt thereof, all other mail to such Obligor; and (e) during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do all other things necessary to carry out this Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations are outstanding. Each Obligor ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney. Neither the Agent nor its employees, officers, or agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error in judgment or mistake of fact or law except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8.4 Notices and Communications. All notices, requests and other communications to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the address, facsimile number or email address for such party in Item 10 of the Terms Schedule or at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Agent and the Obligors in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

All costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to the Agent by such Obligor on demand with interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and without prejudice to the Agent’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

8.6 Agent.

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Obligations of the Obligors), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of all Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.(b)In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender) hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Agent (and any Supplemental Collateral Agents appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.6(c) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 8.6 (including, without limitation, Section 8.6(g)) as though the Agent (and any such Supplemental Collateral Agents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.(c)The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent may also from time to time, when the Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Obligor be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Obligor to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. The Agent shall be not responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.6(c) in the absence of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.(d)Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Obligor or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Obligor; (d) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.SilverpeakSilverview Credit Partners, LP and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Term Loan made by it and any Notes issued to it, SilverpeakSilverview Credit Partners, LP shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include SilverpeakSilverview Credit Partners, LP in its individual capacity. SilverpeakSilverview Credit Partners, LP and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Obligor, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Obligor or any such Subsidiary, all as if SilverpeakSilverview Credit Partners, LP were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent shall not have any duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as the Agent.(f)Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.(g)Indemnification. Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Obligors) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Obligors under Section 8.8, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Obligors. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.6(g) applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. For purposes of this Section 8.6(g), each Lender’s ratable share of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender, and (ii) the aggregate unused portions of such Lender’s Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.6 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.(h)Erroneous Payments.(i)Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Agent notifies such Lender that the Agent has determined that any funds received by such Lender from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Agent by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Agent interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Lender under this clause (i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.(ii)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its actual knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of such occurrence (provided, that a failure by any Lender to notify the Agent of such occurrence shall neither constitute nor be deemed to constitute a breach by such Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent such failure resulted from such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Agent by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Agent interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) Each Obligor hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment that does not consist of Borrower’s funds, or to the extent an Erroneous Payment consists of Borrower’s funds and such Erroneous Payment has been returned to the Borrower, such Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Obligor.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

8.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties, provided, that the Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the Agent’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be null and void ab initio. The Lenders may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Obligations and the Loan Documents, to any Person other than Persons that are investors in or other Affiliates of BSB as of the Closing Date.

8.8 General Indemnity. Each Obligor shall jointly and severally indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of external counsel to the Indemnitees, and if necessary, local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all affected Indemnitees taken as a whole, and solely, in the event of a conflict of interest, additional counsel (and, if necessary, local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding is brought by Holdings or any other Obligor or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (a) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (b) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or other Obligor has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of any Obligor or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than the Agent acting in its capacity as such) or (d) result from any Erroneous Payment so long as Obligors are otherwise in compliance with Section 8.6(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Holdings and each other Obligor with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment in full of the Obligations.

8.9 Interpretation; Severability. Section headings and section numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Agent, the Lenders or any Obligor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise, as this Agreement has been reviewed and prepared by all parties hereto. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for purposes of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

8.10  Indulgences Not Waivers. The Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time or times to require strict performance by any Obligor of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of the Agent or the Lenders thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision.

8.11 Modification; Termination; Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement cannot be changed orally and any change shall only be valid and effective if executed in writing by each Obligor, Agent and the Required Lenders; this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and inducements regarding the same subject matter, and, together with the other Loan Documents, represents the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8.12  Governing Law; Consent to Forum. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in New York, New York, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of law provisions that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply.

The Agent and each Lender reserves the right to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of the Agent or any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to preclude the enforcement by the Agent or such Lender of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

8.13  Waiver of Certain Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor hereby knowingly, intentionally and intelligently waives (with the benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own choosing): (i) the right to trial by jury (which the Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of, related to or based in any way upon any of the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral; (ii) notice prior to taking possession or control of any of the Collateral and the requirement to deposit or post any bond or other security which might otherwise be required by any court or applicable law prior to allowing the Agent or any Lender to exercise any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s self-help or judicial remedies to obtain possession of any of the Collateral; (iii) any claim against the Agent or any Lender on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any of the Loan Documents, any transaction thereunder, the enforcement of any remedies by the Agent or any Lender or the use of any proceeds of any Term Loans; and (iv) notice of acceptance of this Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders.

8.14  Credit Inquiries. Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Agent (but the Agent shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

8.15  Board Observers. Each Obligor agrees that, until the Termination Date, each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (for purposes of this Section 8.15, each a “Board Party” and collectively, the “Board Parties”) shall allow Agent to designate one representative (each a “Board Observer”) to attend and participate in meetings, whether telephonic or in-person, of the board of directors or board of managers, any audit or compensation committees thereof, or any similar governing body of such Board Party (the “Board”), in each case with speaking rights. ; provided that in no event shall the Board Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any committee thereof, (ii) except for the confidentiality obligations expressly set forth in this Section 8.15, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to such Board Party or its stockholders or subsidiaries, or (iii) have the right to propose, offer or vote on any motions or resolutions to the Board or any committee thereof or otherwise have power to cause such Board Party to take, or not to take, any action. Each Board Party shall (i) give each Board Observer notice of all such meetings, at the same time as furnished to the attendees, directors, managers, officers, stockholders or members, as applicable, of such Board Party, (ii) provide to each Board Observer all notices, documents and information furnished to the attendees, directors, managers, officers, stockholders or members, as applicable, of such Board Party, whether at or in anticipation of a meeting, at the same time furnished to such directors, managers, officers, stockholders or members, as applicable, (iii) provide each Board Observer copies of the minutes of all such meetings at the time such minutes are furnished to the attendees of such meeting (if any), and (iv) provide each Board Observer notice of the adoption of any material resolutions and other material actions taken by the board of directors or board of managers, any audit or compensation committees thereof, or any similar governing body of any Board Party; provided, however, that (i) a Board Party may withhold information or materials from a Board Observer or exclude a Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if (as determined by the Board Party in its reasonable discretion) access to such information or materials or attendance at such meeting or portion thereof would be reasonably likely to (A) adversely affect the attorney-client or work product privilege between such Board Party and its counsel; or (B) result in a conflict of interest and (ii) all information shared with a Board Observer shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 8.19 below. Unless such contact is initiated by a director, officer, employee, manager or stockholder of a Board Party, each Board Observer shall not contact any director, officer, employee, manager or stockholder of a Board Party, except (x) during the aforementioned meetings, (y) to the extent such contact is otherwise necessary to enable Agent to administer the Term Loan, and (z) as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including as to the exercise of remedies.

During the period of any Board Observer’s appointment hereunder, and thereafter for the duration of the applicable statute of limitations, Holdings shall cause to be maintained in effect a policy of liability insurance coverage for such Board Observer against liability that may be asserted against or incurred by them in their capacity as Board Observer (or any other alleged, purported or actual relationship with Holdings) which is equivalent in scope and amount to that provided to Holdings’ directors. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and insurance constitute third-party rights extended to the Board Observer by Holdings and do not constitute rights to indemnification, advancement or insurance as a result of the Board Observer serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Holdings or its Affiliates. The Board of each Board Party shall meet no fewer than three times per year.

8.16  Equity Cure Right[Reserved]. In the event the Obligors fail to comply with the Financial Covenants as of the end of any Applicable Fiscal Period (such Applicable Fiscal Period, a “Cure Period”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the then existing direct or indirect equityholders of Holdings shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) from the last day of the Cure Period until the expiration of the thirtieth (30^th) day subsequent to the date the financial statements for the Cure Period are first required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 5.6, to make an equity investment in Holdings in cash in an aggregate amount equal to, but not greater than, the amount necessary to cause the Obligors to be in compliance with the Financial Covenants (hereinafter, the “Cure Amount”), and upon the receipt by Holdings of the Cure Amount, the Financial Covenants shall then be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (a) such equity investment shall be disregarded for purposes of the determination of any baskets or other ratios with respect to the covenants contained in Section 6; (b) in the event of a Default or Event of Default as a result of a breach of the covenant contained in clause (i)(a) of Item 9 of the Terms Schedule, EBITDA shall be increased in an amount equal to the Cure Amount for the Applicable Fiscal Period in respect of which the Cure Right shall have been exercised; (c) in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in clauses (i)(b) or (ii) of Item 9 of the Terms Schedule, cash and/or Liquidity shall be increased in an amount equal to the Cure Amount for the Applicable Fiscal Period in respect of which the Cure Right shall have been exercised; and (d) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Obligors shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenants, the Obligors shall be deemed to have been in compliance with the Financial Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach, Default or Event of Default of the Financial Covenants that had occurred shall be deemed not to have occurred for this purpose of the Agreement. In the event that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists other than that arising due to failure of the Obligors to comply with the Financial Covenants and (ii) Holdings shall have delivered to Agent written notice of its intention to exercise the Cure Right (which notice shall be delivered no later than the fifth (5^th) day subsequent to the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered hereunder), which exercise if fully consummated would be sufficient in accordance with the terms hereof to cause the Obligors to be in compliance with the Financial Covenants as of the relevant date of determination, then from and following receipt by Agent of any such notice and until the date that is the earlier of (x) the thirtieth (30^th) day subsequent to the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered and (y) the date, if any, on which Holdings notifies Agent in writing that such Cure Right shall not be exercised, neither Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies that would otherwise be available as a result of the Obligors’ failure to comply with the Financial Covenants (but solely to the extent no other Events of Default are then continuing). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Holdings be permitted to exercise the Cure Right hereunder (x) more than four (4) times in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement, or (y) more than two (2) times in respect of any Applicable Fiscal Periods or fiscal quarters ending in the same calendar year.

8.17  Division/Series Transactions. Any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment or disposition, or similar term (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any restriction, condition or prohibition applicable thereto), shall be deemed to apply to a Division/Series Transaction, as if it were a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, investment or disposition, or similar term, as applicable, to, of, or with, a separate Person. Each Person that engages in a Division/Series Transaction and that, prior thereto, is a Subsidiary, a joint venture or any other like term hereunder shall also constitute such a Person or entity hereunder after giving effect to such Division/Series Transaction and any new Person resulting from such Division/Series Transaction shall remain subject to the same restrictions and corresponding exceptions applicable to its predecessor(s). If any Obligor or Subsidiary thereof shall consummate a Division/Series Transaction, such Obligor or such Subsidiary shall be required to (effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of such Division/Series Transaction regardless of any longer time periods otherwise provided for) comply with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in Sections 5.10 and 5.11, to the extent applicable.

(b) Rights of Lenders.

(c) Certain Waivers.

(i) Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (A) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Agent or any Lender) of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor; (B) any defense based on any claim that Holdings’ obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower or any other Guarantor; (C) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Holdings’ liability hereunder; (D) any right to require the Agent or any Lender to proceed against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Agent or any Lender whatsoever; (E) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Agent or any Lender; and (F) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, except payment in full of the Obligations. Holdings expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(ii) Holdings agrees that its obligations hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (A) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or other Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (B) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 8.18) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (C) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (D) the insolvency of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (E) any election by Agent or any Lender in proceeding under applicable law for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (F) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by the Borrower or other Obligor, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (G) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (H) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except defense of payment.

(iii) Holdings expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against Holdings. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than defense of payment. It is agreed among Holdings, the Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 8.18 are essential to the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent and Lenders would decline to make the Term Loans. Holdings acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section 8.18 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(iv) Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 8.18. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Obligor or other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, Holdings consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that Holdings might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Obligor shall not impair Holdings’ obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations.

(d) Obligations Independent. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are those of a primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other Guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against Holdings to enforce this Holdings Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

(e) Subrogation. Holdings hereby agrees that it shall not exercise any right or remedy, directly or indirectly, of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Holdings Guaranty until the Termination Date. If any amounts are paid to Holdings in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

(f) Termination; Reinstatement. This Holdings Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Holdings Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or the Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or any Lender in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Agent or any Lender is in possession of or have released this Holdings Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Holdings under this the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Subordination. Holdings hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Subsidiary of Holdings owing to Holdings, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any such Subsidiary to Holdings as subrogee of the Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Holdings’ performance under this Holdings Guaranty, to the payment in full of all Obligations; provided, that each Subsidiary of Holdings may make, and Holdings may receive, any Distributions permitted to be made under Section 6.5. If the Lenders so request after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Subsidiary of Holdings to Holdings shall be enforced and performance received by Holdings as trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Agent to be applied to the Obligations (in each case except for any Distributions permitted under Section 6.5(c)), but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Holdings under this Holdings Guaranty.

(h) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against Holdings under any Insolvency Proceeding, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Holdings immediately upon demand by the Agent.

(i) Condition of the Borrower and the Guarantors. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other Guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other Guarantor as Holdings requires, and that none of Agent or any Lender has any duty, and Holdings is not relying on the Agent or the Lenders at any time, to disclose to Holdings any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor (Holdings waiving any duty on the part of the Agent or the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

8.19  Confidentiality.

(a) The Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any information it receives in connection with such transactions (collectively, “Transaction Information”), except that Transaction Information may be disclosed (a) to its managers, directors, officers, employees, partners and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a “need to know basis” (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Transaction Information and shall agree to keep such Transaction Information confidential); (b) to any assignee, participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed in writing (including by electronic mail) to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 8.19 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them on a “need to know basis” as described in clause (a) above), (c) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender), provided that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Obligors as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Obligors as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (e) with the prior written consent of the Borrower to be given or withheld at its sole discretion; (f) to the extent such Transaction Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.19 or other obligation of confidentiality owed to the Obligors; (g) to the extent such information is independently developed by the Agent or any Lender; or (h) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 8.19, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Nondisclosure Agreement entered into between Agent and Holdings, dated February 2, 2021, remains in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.
