IT IS THEREFORE AGREED THAT:

1. Definitions.

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined or amended herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Existing Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments.

(a)        The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth in Annex A hereto. Such amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement are represented in Annex A hereto with “strikethrough font” for all deletions thereto and with bold, double underlined font for all additions thereto.

(b)        Exhibit D to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Annex B hereto.

(c)        The Additional Guaranty Agreement in the form attached as Annex C hereto is hereby added as a new Exhibit H to the Existing Credit Agreement.

3. Additional Warrants.

(a)        As an inducement to the Purchasers to execute and deliver this Amendment (including Section 2.4), Guarantor has agreed to issue Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 450,000 Subordinate Voting Shares of Guarantor (subject to adjustment as and to the extent provided in the applicable Warrant Agreements) to Purchasers on or before the expiration date of the Funding Period, other than Non-Consenting Purchasers (as defined in Section 11 hereof), as specified in this Section 3.

(b)        On the First Amendment Effective Date, Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 365,076 Subordinate Voting Shares of Guarantor (subject to adjustment as and to the extent provided in the applicable Warrant Agreements) (“First Amendment Date Warrants”) shall be issued to the Initial Purchasers that are Consenting Purchasers (as defined in Section 11 hereof), allocated among such Consenting Purchasers pro rata based in proportion to the respective principal amounts of their Loans relative to the total amount of the Loans of all Consenting Purchasers.

(c)        Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 84,924 Subordinate Voting Shares of Guarantor (subject to adjustment as and to the extent provided in the applicable Warrant Agreements) (such Warrants being hereinafter referred to as the “Remaining Warrant Pool”) shall be issued after the First Amendment Effective Date and on or prior to the expiration date of the Funding Period as follows: if and to the extent that additional Loans are made after the First Amendment Effective Date and prior to the expiration of the Funding Period (such period, the “Remaining Funding Period”), then each Purchaser (including any Initial Purchaser or Subsequent Purchaser) who makes such an additional Loan during the Remaining Funding Period shall be entitled to receive that percentage of the Remaining Pool computed as the ratio of the principal amount of the Loan funded by such Purchaser during the Remaining Funding Period divided by $130,000,000. If, at the expiration date of the Funding Period, less than all of the Remaining Warrant Pool has been issued (i.e., because less than $130,000,000 in aggregate principal amount

- 2 -

of Loans has been funded), then one hundred percent of the Remaining Warrant Pool shall be issued to the Purchasers pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of their Loans, excluding from such calculation the Loans held by any Non-Consenting Purchasers on the First Amendment Effective Date.

(d)        Warrants issued pursuant to this Section 3 shall be substantially identical to the Warrants issued on the Initial Closing Date except as follows:

(i)    the “Expiry Date” of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Section 3 shall be the date that is 60 months after the date(s) such Warrants are issued. For example, Warrants issued on the First Amendment Effective Date shall have an Expiry Date that is 60 months after the First Amendment Effective Date; and Warrants issued after the First Amendment Effective Date and prior to the expiration of the Funding Period shall have a 60-month term that runs from the applicable issuance date(s) of such Warrants.

(ii)    The “Exercise Price” of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Section 3 shall be equal the higher of: (i) 1.15 multiplied by the volume weighted average price per share of the Subordinate Voting Shares for the five (5)-day period during which trading occurred immediately preceding the applicable issuance date for such Warrants (i.e., the First Amendment Effective Date or other date on which the applicable Warrants are issued to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3) and (ii) 1.00 multiplied by the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the trading date immediately preceding the applicable issuance date for such Warrants.

4. Representations and Warranties.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

With respect to an Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor, an Affiliate includes, but is not limited to, (a) Subsidiaries of such Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor, (b) directors, officers and managers of such Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor, (c) any Person who or which directly or beneficially owns or holds 25% or more of any class of Equity Interests of such Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor or owns or holds warrants, options, rights or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, 25% or more of any class of Equity Interests of

2

such Issuer, Guarantor and/or Additional Guarantor, (d) any Person 25% or more of whose voting Equity Interests are directly or beneficially owned or held by such Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor and (e) any Person 25% or more of whose voting Equity Interests are, or would be after exercise or conversion of any warrants, options, rights or other securities, owned, directly or beneficially, by such Issuer, Guarantor or Additional Guarantor or by a Person described in clause (b) or clause (c) above.

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

“After Tax EBITDA” means, for any period, EBITDA for such period minus the current income taxes included with the “provision for income taxes” for such period as set forth in the Statement of Operations included in the quarterly or annual financial statements, as applicable, in each case delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, notes to the quarterly and annual financial statements shall disclose for the applicable period the portion of the provision for income taxes for such period comprised of “current” income taxes and the portion comprised of “deferred” income taxes.

“Agent(s)” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

“Agent Fee Letter” means that certain fee letter entered into on or about the date hereof by the Issuers with the Agents.

“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

“Agreement Date” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

“Assignment Agreement” mean an agreement in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto that has been executed by the parties thereto.

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the carrying value of the lease liabilities in respect thereof on the balance sheet of the lessee in accordance with the Accounting Principles; provided, however, that if such Sale and Leaseback Transaction results in a Capitalized Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligation.”

“Bankruptcy Code” means title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy” as now or hereafter in effect or any successive statutes, as applicable, and any comparable Laws in Canada or its provinces.

“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Guarantor.

3

“Cannabis Act” means for any state in which any of the Loan Parties or its respective Subsidiaries conducts business, any state law of regulation addressing the cultivation, production, or sale of medical and/or adult use cannabis or any comparable legislation, as amended, replaced or superseded by comparable legislation, including any US federal legislation.

“Capital Lease” means, as applied to any Person, any lease of any property (whether real, personal or mixed) by that Person as lessee that, in conformity with the Accounting Principles, is or should be accounted for as a capital lease or finance lease on the balance sheet of that Person.

“Capitalized Lease Obligations” means the amount which is required by the Accounting Principles to be reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of the lessee with respect to a Capital Lease.

The provisions of this Section 1.4 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Issuers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 1.4 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the Obligations of any of the Issuers shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the Obligations of such Issuer hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law.

ARTICLE II

LOANS

Section 2.1    Loans. The aggregate principal amount of the Loans, whether made on the Initial Closing Date or on any Subsequent Closing Date, shall not exceed $130,000,000 and no Loans shall be made after expiration of the Funding Period. Any principal amount of Loans repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Each Purchaser shall be responsible solely for its own obligation to fund its Loan in the amount set forth beside its name on Schedule 2 and shall have no obligation for the funding (or failure of funding) by any other Purchaser of such other Purchaser’s obligation to make its Loan. The Issuers shall notify in writing each of the then existing Purchasers and the Agents at least five Business Days in advance of each Subsequent Closing Date of the identity of any Subsequent Purchaser and the amount of the Loan to be made by any Subsequent Purchaser. Upon expiration of the Funding Period, the Issuers shall provide each Purchaser with a copy of Schedule 2, updated to reflect: (i) the names and addresses of each of the Purchasers, (ii) the principal amount of the Loans made by each of the Purchasers and (iii) the per share exercise price in the Warrants, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares covered by each Purchaser’s Warrant Agreement, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Warrant Agreement. Any Loans funded on a Subsequent Closing Date, and the Notes issued to evidence such Loans, shall have identical terms to the Loans and Notes issued on the Initial Closing Date, subject to modification to reflect the names of the applicable Subsequent Purchasers, the principal amounts of their respective Loans and the accrual of interest on such Loans from the applicable Subsequent Closing Date(s).

16

Section 2.2    Loan Closings. Closings of each of the Loans may be consummated by exchange of electronic documents and signatures and the payment of monies in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, this Agreement. At each Closing, the Issuers will deliver to the applicable Purchasers a Note in a principal amount equal to such Purchaser’s Loan, together with the such other instruments and documents provided for in this Agreement, and each Purchaser will fund its Loan by check payable to any Issuer, on behalf of all of the Issuers, or by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Issuers.

Section 2.3    Federal income tax treatment of Loans and Warrants. The Purchasers and the Loan Parties acknowledge that, for federal income tax purposes, the Loans and the Warrants constitute an “investment unit” under Code Section 1273 and that the following shall apply with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the investment unit:

(a)    The issue price of the investment unit shall be allocated between the debt instrument (Loans) and the property rights (Warrants) that comprise the unit based on their relative fair market values.

(b)    For United States federal income tax purposes (i) the issue price (within the meaning of Section 1273(b) of the Code) of the Loans made on the Initial Closing Date will be determined pursuant to Sections 1272 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and (ii) the issue price (within the meaning of Section 1273(b) of the Code) of the Warrants issued on the Initial Closing Date will be determined pursuant to Section 1.1273-2(h)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. The Issuers will disclose all determinations of issue price of the Loans and Warrants to the Initial Purchasers within three (3) business days of making such determination by written, electronic correspondence to the authorized representatives of the Initial Purchasers.

(c)    The fair market value of the Warrants issued on the Initial Closing Date may constitute original issue discount under Code Section 1273, in which case, such original issue discount is includable in gross income of the Initial Purchasers over the term of the investment unit pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Code, and deductible by the Issuers, to the extent otherwise permitted by the Code. If required, Issuers shall furnish the Initial Purchasers with IRS Form 1099-OID, when and as required by applicable law, and shall schedule the Notes as required by Treasury Regulation 1.1275-3(b).

(d)    Determinations, allocations and reporting comparable to that set forth above shall be made in respect of Loans made, and Warrants issued, on each Subsequent Closing Date.

Section 2.4    Interest.

(a)    Except as set forth in Section 2.4(b) below: Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.4(a), each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made through the date of repayment of such Loan (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. The interest shall be payable in cash by the Issuers on (i) the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, (ii) the date of termination of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) on the applicable Maturity

17

Date, without duplication. If a payment date is not a Business Day, then payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, based on the actual number of days elapsed (hereafter a “365-366 method”); it being expressly agreed that application of the 365-366 method shall apply retroactively to the Initial Closing Date and the incremental amount of interest paid on Loans held by Consenting Purchasers prior to the First Amendment Effective Date as a result of interest having been calculated based on a year of 360 days prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (i.e., an aggregate of $63,087.22 if all Purchasers are Consenting Purchasers, or $598.17 per each $1,000,000 principal amount of each Loan) shall be set off against (and thereby reduce) on a pro rata basis the amount of the interest payment due December 31, 2019 on the Loans of the Consenting Purchasers, with the commercial intent being to put the Issuers and Consenting Purchasers in the same position with respect to interest payments that they would have been in had the 365-366 method been in effect from and after the Initial Closing Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any accrued but unpaid interest payments on the Loans and any fees or other amounts owed hereunder and not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 2.4(a) above, with respect to the Loans held by any Non-Consenting Purchaser on the First Amendment Effective Date: Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.4(b), each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made through the date of repayment of such Loan (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. The interest shall be payable in cash by the Issuers on (i) the last day of each fiscal quarter, (ii) the date of termination of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) on the applicable Maturity Date, without duplication. If a payment date is not a Business Day, then payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and on the actual number of days elapsed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any accrued but unpaid interest payments on the Loans and any fees or other amounts owed hereunder and not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 2.5    Fees and Expenses.

(a)    Transaction Expenses. At the Initial Closing, the Issuers will pay (i) to the Agents or, at the direction of the Agents, to an Affiliate thereof and (ii) to, or at the direction of, [***], the amount of legal and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement which amounts shall be payable directly from the proceeds of Initial Loans.

(v)    after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all fees, costs and expenses, including documented and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by the Agents and the Purchasers in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from Issuers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of any guaranty, including under the Guaranty Agreement and any Additional Guaranty Agreement) or in connection with any negotiations, reviews, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder, including, without limitation, in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings; and the foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provisions of the Loan Documents regarding fees, costs and expenses to be paid by the Issuers.

In such event or upon the occurrence of any mandatory prepayment event specified in Section 2.8 hereof, Issuers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a prepayment fee of (a) 2.50% of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Agreement Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Agreement Date and (b) 1.50% of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Agreement Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Agreement Date. Issuers shall not be required to pay a prepayment fee in connection with optional prepayments thereafter. Except as set forth above in this Section, Issuers have no optional prepayment rights under this Agreement or the Notes. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Notes may not be re-borrowed. Upon the election of the Issuers, any prepayment notice is revocable, prior to repayment, upon written notice of Issuers to the Agents and each Purchaser.

21

Administrative Agent and the other Purchasers of such excess and promptly pay in cash and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all Purchasers share in payments and recoveries from the Loan Parties in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

ARTICLE III

TAXES

Section 3.1    Taxes, Etc.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Agent or a Purchaser, as applicable, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)    Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any expenses arising

22

therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    Evidence of Payments. Any Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (and the applicable Purchaser) the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by a Governmental Body evidencing payment by the Issuer of Taxes to such Governmental Body pursuant to this Section, as soon as practicable after the date of any such payment by the Issuer.

(e)    Status of Purchasers. Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will enable the Issuer or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Issuer is a U.S. Person,

(i)    any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)    any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)    in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable

23

payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C)    in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Issuer as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

(D)    to the extent a Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii)    if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent 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 Issuer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Issuer and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause 3.1(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Agreement Date.

Each Purchaser 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 Issuer and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

24

(f)    If any party, in its reasonable judgment, receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.1 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 Body 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 paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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.

(g)    Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Issuer in this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of an Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination or repayment of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

The Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (for purposes of this Section 5.16, the “Group”), are not “insolvent” nor will their incurrence of obligations, direct or contingent, to repay the Loan render them “insolvent.” For purposes of this Section, the Group, taken as a whole, would be “insolvent” if (a) the “present fair salable value” (as defined below) of the consolidated assets of the Group is less than the amount that will be required to pay the Group’s probable liability on the existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of members of the Group as they become absolute and matured; (b) the property of the Group, taken as a whole, constitutes unreasonably small capital for the members of the Group to carry out each member’s business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including the capital needs of such member; (c) the Group, taken as a whole, intends to, or believes that it will, incur debts beyond the ability of the members to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the members and amounts to be payable on or in respect of debt of the members), or the cash available to the Group, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, is anticipated to be insufficient to pay all such amounts on or in respect of debt of the members of the Group when such amounts are required to be paid; or (d) Issuers believe that final judgments against any member of the Group in actions for money damages will be rendered at a time when, or in an amount such that, the applicable member(s) of the Group will be unable to satisfy any such judgments promptly in accordance with their terms (taking into account the maximum reasonable amount of such judgments in any such actions and the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments might be rendered), or the cash available to the Group, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, is anticipated to be insufficient to pay all such judgments promptly in accordance with their terms. For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings: (x) the term “debts” includes any legal liability, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent, (y) the term “present fair salable value” of assets means the amount which may be realized, within a reasonable time, either through collection or sale of such assets at their regular market value and (z) the term “regular market value” means the amount which a capable and diligent businessman could obtain for the property in question within a reasonable time from an interested buyer who is willing to purchase under ordinary selling conditions.

There is no proposed Tax assessment against any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries is party to any Tax sharing agreement with any Person that is not a Loan Party. So long as a Purchaser deals at arm’s length with the Loan Parties and is not a specified non-resident shareholder of the Loan Parties within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), no payment under any Loan Document will be subject to withholding or deduction under the Income Tax Act (Canada). A Purchaser should not be a specified non-resident shareholder unless that Purchaser is not a resident of Canada and, alone or together with other Persons with whom that Purchaser deals but does not deal at arm’s length, owns shares of any Loan Party that represent at least 25% of the votes or fair market value of all outstanding shares of such Loan Party. For this purpose, any options or other rights in favor of a Purchaser, or a Person with which such Purchaser deals but does not deal at arm’s length, to acquire shares of Guarantor will be treated as having been exercised.

Section 5.19    No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any transaction contemplated by, this Agreement or any Loan Document, or upon the funding of any Loan, or the purchase of any Note, will constitute an Event of Default or Default or will cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Other Defaults under Loan Documents. Other than in respect of a failure to pay any of the Obligations, Issuers shall Default in the performance of or compliance with any other term contained in any of the Loan Documents in any material respect, and such Default shall not have been remedied or waived within thirty (30) days after receipt by an Issuer of written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of such failure or default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach of default, including on account of failure to make payments, on Indebtedness that is fully non-recourse to any of the Loan Parties and incurred in compliance with this Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights and remedies of the lender(s) of any such under such non-recourse Indebtedness shall be limited to the specific assets pledged or mortgaged as security for such Indebtedness.

(d)    Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act who is acquiring its Note and Warrants without having been offered or sold the Notes and Warrants by any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising”, in each case within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has truthfully completed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire set forth herein as Exhibit F and delivered an executed copy to the Issuers in accordance with the instructions therein.

46

(f)    Such Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Loan Parties or an Agent for compliance by the Loan Parties or an Agent with applicable Laws in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes and Warrants or general administration of the Loans. Such Purchaser expressly acknowledges that Guarantor may be required to make certain filings with the applicable Canadian securities commissions and Canadian Securities Exchange and consents to the making of such filings.

(k)    Such Purchaser has reviewed and understands the risk factors set forth at Exhibit E attached hereto.

47

(l)    Such Purchaser understands that its Note and Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of such Purchaser and of the other representations and warranties made by such Purchaser in this Agreement. Such Purchaser understands that the Loan Parties are relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement for the purpose of determining whether the offer and sale of the Notes and Warrants meet the requirements for such exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Subordinated Voting Shares of Guarantor as of the date hereof are listed and traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

(q)    Such Purchaser acknowledges that no securities commission, agency, governmental authority, regulatory body, stock exchange or other regulatory body has reviewed or passed on the investment merits of the Warrants or the Subordinate Voting Shares.

The Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers.

Section 10.2    Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)    The Agents shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and its duties hereunder shall solely be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents shall not:

(i)    be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)    have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents to which it is a party that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for in such Loan Documents); provided that the Agents shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, (i) may expose the Agents to liability, (ii) is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law, (iii) would require such Agent to become registered to do business in any jurisdiction, or (iv) would subject such Agent to taxation;

(iii)    except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which such Agent is a party, have any duty to disclose, and such Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Issuers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

49

(iv)    be responsible in any manner for the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any Collateral delivered, or for the value or collectability of any Obligations or other instrument, if any, so delivered, or for any representations made or obligations assumed by any party other than such Agent. The Agents shall not be bound to examine or inquire into or be liable for any defect or failure in the right or title of the grantors to all or any of the assets whether such defect or failure was known to any Agent.

(b)    No Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as is necessary, or as such Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing the Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by the Issuers or a Purchaser.

(c)    The Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

(d)    No Agent is obliged to (i) take or refrain from taking any action or exercise or refrain from exercising any right or discretion under the Loan Documents, or (ii) incur or subject itself to any cost in connection with the Loan Documents, unless it is indemnified by the Loan Parties and/or by the Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent. An Agent may decline to act unless it receives indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to it, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested.

(e)    In no event shall an Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

(f)    No Agent is obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such

50

funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of the Collateral Agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any unsuitability, inadequacy, expiration or unfitness of any Lien created hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Documents nor shall it be obligated to make any investigation into, and shall be entitled to assume, the adequacy and fitness of any Lien created hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Documents pertaining to the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords similar collateral and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee.

(h)    No Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, advisors or agents shall be liable to the Purchasers for any action taken or omitted by any of the under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. An Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions satisfactory to it in respect thereof from Required Purchasers (or such other Purchasers as may be required to give such instructions) or in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(i)    The Agents shall not have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or disclosure of confidential information to any prospective Purchaser.

Section 10.3    Reliance by Agent.

(a)    The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making available of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Agents may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Agents shall

51

have received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to making the Loans available. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Issuers), independent accountants, advisors and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, advisors or experts.

(b)    The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request written instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives those written instructions or that clarification. In the absence of written instructions, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interests of the Purchasers.

Section 10.4    Delegation of Duties. Any Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. The Agents and any such sub-agent of an Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article X and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Agents shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of an Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents.

Section 10.5    Notices.

(a)    The Agents shall promptly deliver to each Purchaser any notices, reports or other communications contemplated in this Agreement delivered to the Agents by or on behalf of a Loan Party which are intended for the benefit of the Purchasers.

(b)    Upon written request of any Purchaser to any Agent to give notice to any Loan Party or to any other Purchasers, to request any information from any Loan Party, or to request or direct an Agent to take or refrain from taking any action, or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies under any Loan Document (individually or collectively, as applicable, a “Purchaser Request”), such Agent shall promptly provide notice of such Purchaser Request to the other Purchasers requesting the Purchasers to confirm or reject in writing the subject matter of such Purchaser Request. Nothing in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement limits rights of Purchasers to communicate directly with one another, and the Loan Parties shall provide or cause to be provided each Purchaser the contact information of each other Purchaser.

Section 10.6    Replacement of Agent.

(a)    Any Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and the Issuers (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Resignation Effective Date”). Upon receipt of any such notice of

52

resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, acting unanimously, with the prior written consent of the Issuers, to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Issuers’ consent rights pursuant to this Section 10.6(a) shall cease.

(b)    If no such successor shall have been so appointed upon consent of the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment by the Resignation Effective Date, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(c)    The Required Purchasers, may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by giving thirty (30) days prior notice in writing to the Issuers and the Agents, remove either the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and, with the consent of the Issuers (which consent shall not be required if an Event of Default is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no later than the Removal Effective Date, (i) all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to any removed Agent and (ii) all fees, charges and expenses of the removed Agent related to the transfer of agency or Collateral, in each case, must be paid in full in cash to the removed Agent by the Issuers.

(d)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts due pursuant to Section 2.5(b) owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts due pursuant to Section 2.5(b) owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding sentence). The fees payable by the Issuers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and of Section 11.3, 11.4 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 10.7    Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has

53

deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.8    Collective Action of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by applicable law, any collateral security and the remedies in respect of the collateral security provided under the Loan Documents to the Purchasers are for the benefit of the Agents and the Purchasers collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder in respect of the collateral security and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the applicable Agent upon the direction of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Purchasers hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder in respect of the collateral security including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder in respect of the collateral security, but that any such action in respect of the collateral security shall be taken only by the Agents with the prior written agreement of the Required Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given in respect of the collateral security, it shall cooperate fully with the Agents to the extent requested by an Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Purchasers and where in the sole opinion of an Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, an Agent may without notice to or consent of the Purchasers take such action on behalf of the Purchasers as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Purchasers.

Section 10.9    Obligations. All Obligations shall rank pari passu with each other and any proceeds from any realization of the Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations ratably in accordance with Section 2.9 and 8.3. The provisions of this Section 10.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans.

Section 10.10    Holding of Collateral; Discharge.

(a)    The Collateral shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agents and the Purchasers in accordance with its terms and any proceeds from any realization of the Liens shall be applied to the Obligations of each Purchaser ratably in accordance with Section 2.9 and 8.3 (whether such Lien is held in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of any one or more of the Purchasers and without regard to any priority to which the Purchaser may otherwise be entitled under applicable law).

(b)    Each Purchaser agrees with the other Purchasers that it will not, without the prior consent of the other Purchasers, take or obtain any Lien on any properties or assets of the Issuers or any other Loan Party to secure the obligations of the Issuers under the Loan Documents, except for the benefit of all Purchasers or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

54

(c)    The Required Purchasers will irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent in writing to, and the Collateral Agent will, release the Lien on any Collateral constituting assets subject to a Disposition to any Person (other than a Loan Party or a subsidiary of a Loan Party), if the Issuers have certified to the Purchasers (copied to the Collateral Agent) and the Required Purchasers are satisfied with such certificate, in their sole discretion, that the Disposition is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent will, at the request and expense of the Issuers, after receiving written instructions from the Required Purchasers, execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party such releases, discharges, documents or other instruments as the Loan Party may reasonably require to effect the release of discharge of the Lien over such Collateral, provided that the proceeds of any such Disposition shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

Section 10.11    Liability of the Purchasers inter se. Each of the Purchasers agrees with each of the other Purchasers that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Purchasers has or shall have any duty or obligation, or shall in any way be liable, to any of the other Purchasers in respect of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with them.

Section 10.12    Administrative Agent May File and Vote Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Issuer) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated unless requested by the Required Purchasers) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents, and take such other actions (including, without limitation, negotiation of and/ or objection to, actions taken or proposed to be taken pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 361, 362, 363 and 364), as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Purchasers and the Agents under the Loan Documents, including under Sections 2.5(b), 11.3 and 11.4) allowed, and the Collateral protected, in such judicial proceeding;

(b)    to vote the claim described in subsection (a) in connection with any plan of reorganization or analog thereof pursuant to the applicable Debt Relief Law; and

(c)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to the Agents and, in the event that the Agents shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to each Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel,

55

and any other amounts due such Agent under Sections 2.5(b), 11.3 and 11.4. In the event Administrative Agent does not intervene in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or if the Administrative Agent fails to take any of the actions described in subsections (a) through (c) above, then each Purchaser shall be entitled to intervene and    take the actions contemplated by this Section 10.12 on account of their respective claims.

Section 10.13    Survival. The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans.

Section 11.3    Indemnification by Issuers.

(a)    Indemnification by the Issuers. The Issuers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent (and any sub agent thereof) and each Purchaser, their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Person) (collectively “Losses”), incurred by any Indemnified Person or asserted against any Indemnified Person by any Person other than such Indemnified Person and its Related Parties 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any environmental liability related in any way to the Issuers or any of their Affiliates, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or Issuers, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In no event shall (i) Issuers be liable to any Indemnified Person and (ii) any Indemnified Person be liable to any Issuer for any punitive, incidental, consequential, expectation, special, or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby.

(b)    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 11.3(a) is prohibited under applicable Laws to an Indemnified Person, then the Issuers, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Person, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the

58

Indemnified Person as a result of the Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Person, on the other, in connection with the events or circumstances which resulted in the Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

Section 11.4    Attorney Fees Upon Default. The Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to pay promptly after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, without limitation, allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by the Agents and/or Purchasers in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Loan Parties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of any guaranty, including under the Guaranty Agreement) or in connection with any negotiations, reviews, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder, including, without limitation, in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

Section 11.5    Enforceability; Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Enforceability; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and is enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

(b)    Assignments. Each Purchaser may assign (each, an “Assignment”) to one or more Persons (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of such Purchaser’s Loan and Note) with the written consent of the Issuers, not to be unreasonably withheld. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), administrative details and an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 for each Purchaser or by an entity to its equity holders, and, except in the case of an assignment by a Purchaser to one of its Affiliates, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent).

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Issuers, shall maintain a copy of the Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuers and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Each Purchaser may sell participations to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and obligations

59

under this Agreement (including all or a portion of such Purchaser’s Loan and any Note); provided that: (i) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the Issuers for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Issuers and Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and not any Participant. The Issuers agree that each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 and 11.3 to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. The Issuers hereby consent to the disclosure of any information obtained by a Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document to any Person to which such Purchaser participates, or proposes to participate, its Loan and Note. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loan) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser may any time pledge its Loans and such Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a bank or financial institution or to a trustee for the benefit of its investors.

Section 11.6    Purchasers’ Obligations Several; Purchasers’ Rights Independent. The obligation of each Purchaser hereunder is several and not joint and no Agent nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligation of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by any Agent or Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute Purchasers to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Purchaser shall be a separate and independent debt, and, provided Agents fail or refuse to exercise any remedies against the Issuers after receiving the direction of the Purchasers, each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.7    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto. It is understood and agreed that all agreements and understandings heretofore had

60

between the parties hereto are merged into the Loan Documents, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement, and that the same is entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation not embodied in the Loan Documents.

Section 11.8    No Waiver; Remedies. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege. A single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not preclude any other or further exercise of the right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 11.9    Arbitration; Waiver Of Jury Trial. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement or the parties’ obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, disputes arising out of any public policy or any federal, state or local laws, regulations or statutes prohibiting employment discrimination or harassment) shall be resolved through binding arbitration before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in Chicago, Illinois pursuant to the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act. The costs of the arbitration, including any JAMS administration fee, the arbitrator’s fee, and costs for the use of facilities during the hearings, shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO SUCH BINDING ARBITRATION THEY ARE HEREBY WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.9. The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of JAMS streamlined arbitration except that the arbitrator shall be mutually acceptable to both parties, both parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the hearing on the arbitration must occur by no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the demand for arbitration is filed, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator. Each party will pay for the fees and expenses of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, transcripts and other expenses related to such claims unless the party prevails on a claim for which attorneys’ fees and costs are otherwise recoverable by statute. Except as otherwise required by law, rule, regulation or judicial authority, the parties agree to maintain the subject matter of any arbitration as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties

61

may seek emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Section 11.10    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or a scanned copy by electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.11    Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all claims, disputes and matters arising hereunder or thereunder or related hereto or thereto, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that state, without reference to conflicts of laws provisions.

Section 11.12    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 11.13    Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and conditions contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall survive (a) the making of the Loan(s) and the payment of the Obligations and (b) the performance, observance and compliance with the covenants, terms and conditions, express or implied, of all Loan Documents, until the due and punctual (i) indefeasible payment of the Obligations and (ii) performance, observance and compliance with the covenants, terms and conditions, express or implied, of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.14    Maximum Lawful Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the amount of interest and other charges for the use of money payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the maximum amounts permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Issuers and the Purchasers, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and other charges for the use of money and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the amount of such interest and other charges for the use of money or manner of payment exceeds the maximum amount allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as of the Closing Date, the Issuers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from the Issuers in excess of such legal

62

maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans to the extent of such excess.

Section 11.15    Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, as appropriate. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (a) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement and (b) article, section, subsection, schedule and exhibit references are references with respect to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “including” will mean “including, without limitation.” The headings in this Agreement and in the Schedules are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.16    Ambiguities. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents were negotiated between legal counsel for the parties and any ambiguity in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the party who drafted this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.

Section 11.17    Relationship of the Parties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and notwithstanding any acts or omissions on the part of the Purchasers, the Issuers hereby stipulate and agree, for themselves and Guarantor and Additional Guarantors, that: (a) the relationship between the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is and shall solely be that of creditors and debtors in commercial loan transactions; (b) the Purchasers are not and shall not be construed as partners, tenants in common, joint tenants, joint ventures, alter egos, aiders and abettors, managers, principals, actors in concert, co-owners, controlling persons or other business associates or participants of any kind in the business and affairs of the Loan Parties and neither the Purchasers nor any of the Loan Parties intends for the Purchasers to assume any such status; and (c) the Purchasers shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions, or decisions of any of the Loan Parties. The Purchasers shall not have any obligation to pay or withhold Taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, fees or charges arising from the ownership, operation, or occupancy of the properties or assets of any the Loan Parties.

Section 11.18    Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the Patriot, the Agents, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person that establishes a relationship or opens an account with any Agent.

ANNEX C

Exhibit H

(Additional Guaranty Agreement)

(see attached)

Guaranty Agreement

This Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) is made and entered into as of the 9th day of November, 2019 by GTI Pennsylvania, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (hereinafter, “Guarantor”) in favor of the Administrative Agent (as defined below) for the sole benefit of the Collateral Agent (as defined below), the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers (as defined below), and the respective successors and assigns of the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and Purchasers.

For value received and in consideration of loans made or to be made, credit given or to be given, and other financial accommodation afforded or to be afforded to certain subsidiaries of Guarantor by the Purchasers under that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 22, 2019, as amended, including by the First Amendment thereto dated the date hereof (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among VCP23, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VCP23”), VCP Real Estate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VCP Real Estate”), Vision Management Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VMS”), GTI23, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GTI23”), GTI Core, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GTI Core”), VCP IP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VCP IP”), TWD18, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TWD18”) and For Success Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“FSH” and, together with VCP23, VCP Real Estate, VMS, GTI23, GTI Core, VCP IP and TWD18, the “Initial Issuers” and each, individually, an “Initial Issuer”), each purchaser party listed on the signature page of the Note Purchase Agreement (together with their successors and assigns, each an “Initial Purchaser” and collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”, and together with any additional Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement, the “Purchasers”), GLAS Americas LLC, a New York limited liability company, as collateral agent for the sole benefit of itself, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”) and GLAS USA LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, as administrative agent for the sole benefit of itself, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent” and together with the Collateral Agent, each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”), from time to time, Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Purchaser and to the Agents the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by prepayment or otherwise, of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Loans and all other Obligations of the Issuers. Guarantor further agrees (to the full extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Guaranty Agreement notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that:

1. Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to any of the Loan Parties of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Loans or the Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Purchaser or Agent (collectively, the “Beneficiaries” and each a “Beneficiary”) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any of the Issuers or any other Person under this Guaranty Agreement, the Loans or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty Agreement, the Loans or any other agreement or otherwise; (d) the release of any security for the Obligations granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the Beneficiaries; or (e) any change in the ownership of any of the Issuers.

2. Guarantor further agrees that the guaranty herein constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Beneficiary to any Collateral or security held for payment of the Obligations.

3. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any of the Beneficiaries to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guaranty Agreement, the Loans or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

4. Guarantor further agrees that the guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Beneficiary upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Issuers or otherwise.

5. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary has at law or in equity against Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any of the Issuers to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any of the Beneficiaries forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Beneficiaries, in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement, an amount equal to

-2-

the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

6. Guarantor further agrees that (x) the maturity of the Obligations may be accelerated as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement for the purposes of the guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor for the purposes of this Guaranty Agreement.

7. Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

8. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Beneficiary against any of the Issuers or any Collateral or guaranty or right of offset held by any of the Beneficiaries for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any of the Issuers in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to all of the Beneficiaries under the Note Purchase Agreement and on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for the Beneficiaries, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to the Agent for the sole benefit of the Beneficiaries in the exact form received by Guarantor, to be applied against the Obligations.

9. Guarantor has received direct and indirect benefits from the execution of this Guaranty Agreement.

10. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary, the right of recovery against Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty Agreement void or voidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law

11. This guaranty and every part thereof shall be effective upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, without further act, condition or acceptance by any of the Beneficiaries, shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor, and shall inure to the sole benefit of the Beneficiaries and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives. Guarantor waives notice of the Beneficiaries’ acceptance hereof.

-3-

12. Terms used herein as defined terms and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Note Purchase Agreement. The provisions of Section 11 of the Note Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.
