LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and among (i) CALLA LILY HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”), (ii) ZOVIO INC, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower Representative”) and (iii) FULLSTACK ACADEMY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FullStack”, and together with Borrower Representative, collectively, “Borrowers”, and each a “Borrower”), provides the terms on which Lender shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:

RECITALS

A. Borrowers wish to obtain credit from Lender, and Lender desires to extend credit to Borrowers. This Agreement sets forth the terms on which Lender will advance credit to Borrower, and Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Lender.

B. Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial covenant and other financial calculations shall be computed with respect to Borrowers only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligations of a Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and covenants for purpose of this Agreement (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in accordance with GAAP (for the avoidance of doubt, other than for purposes of the delivery of financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13.1. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Revolving Line.

1

EXHIBIT 10.1

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement Lender shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to fourteen and one-half percent (14.5%), which interest shall be payable in cash monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(c) below.

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is two percent (2%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

(c) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Date of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

2.4 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Lender:

(a) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. Payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month occurring prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Lender, computed on the basis of a year with the applicable number of days as set forth in Section 2.3(c). The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line, and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding.

EXHIBIT 10.1

(b) Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Lender); provided, however, Lender Expenses through the Effective Date shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

(c) Fee Letter. The fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

(d) Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Lender, no Borrower shall be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the Fee Letter notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Lender’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. Lender shall provide Borrowers written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.4.

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Lender has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. No Borrower shall have a right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by a Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

2.6 Withholding. Payments received by Lender from any Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto). Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires any Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Lender, Borrowers hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, that the amount due from any such Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and such Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. The applicable Borrower will, upon request, furnish Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender indicating that such Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that such Borrower need not make any

3

EXHIBIT 10.1

withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against such Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrowers contained in this Section 2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.3 Covenant to Deliver.

(a) Borrowers agree to deliver to Lender each item required to be delivered to Lender under this Agreement as a condition precedent to any Credit Extension. Borrowers expressly agree that a Credit Extension made prior to the receipt by Lender of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of Borrowers' obligation to deliver such item, and the making of any Credit Extension in the absence of a required item shall be in Lender’s sole discretion.

(b) Borrowers agree to deliver or cause to be delivered the items set forth on Schedule 1 hereto within the timeframes set forth therein (or by such other date as Lender may approve in writing), in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

Each Advance shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or such other minimums as Lender and Borrower Representative may agree); provided, however, no more than two (2) Advances may be made in a single calendar month.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby grants Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Lender shall release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrowers.

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens). If a Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, such Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by such Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If a Borrower shall acquire a certificate with respect to Shares or any similar instrument, such Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing and deliver the same together with a stock power or instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form satisfactory to Lender.

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, without notice to such Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral by any Borrower in violation of this Agreement, may be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender’s discretion.

4.4 Pledge of Collateral.

(a) Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all the Equity Interests in which such Borrower has any interest, including the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the

6

EXHIBIT 10.1

performance of the Obligations. On the Effective Date or as required pursuant to Section 4.2, the certificate or certificates for such Equity Interests, to the extent certificated, will be delivered to Lender, accompanied by a stock power or other appropriate instrument of assignment duly executed in blank. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Equity Interests in which a Borrower has an interest, such Borrower shall cause the books of each Person whose Equity Interests are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Equity Interests.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder and following the delivery of written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative (which may be delivered concurrently by email), Lender may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Equity Interests) into the name of Lender and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Lender or its transferee. Each Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Lender may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Equity Interests. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Lender has given written notice to the Borrower Representative (which may be delivered concurrently by email), each Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Equity Interests in which it has an interest and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, and provided further, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in their respective jurisdictions of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their respective business or ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, each Borrower has delivered to Lender a completed certificate signed by such Borrower entitled “Perfection Certificate” (collectively, the “Perfection Certificate”). Except as Borrower Representative may hereafter disclose to Lender in writing in accordance with Section 7.2 below, each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that (a) such Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate hereto and on the signature page hereof; (b) such Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, each Borrower (and

7

EXHIBIT 10.1

each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that each Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement).

The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with such Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect or are being obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b)), or (v) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material agreement by which such Borrower is bound. No Borrower is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral.

(a) Each Borrower has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.

(b) Except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate or in a notice timely delivered pursuant to Section 6.4(b), no Borrower or any Subsidiary has any Deposit Accounts at or with any bank, broker or other financial institution, and each Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Lender a perfected security interest in each Collateral Account of a Borrower as required pursuant to the terms of Section 6.4(b) and Section 3.3.

(c) Each Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (i) licenses permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, (ii) open-source software, (iii) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, (iv) Intellectual Property licensed to such Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed pursuant to Section 6.10(b), and (v) immaterial Intellectual Property licensed to such Borrower. Each Patent (other than patent applications) which it owns or purports to own and which is material to such Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to the Borrowers’ business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. No Subsidiary which is not a Borrower owns any

8

EXHIBIT 10.1

material Intellectual Property. It will not be necessary to use any inventions of any of such Borrower’s employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by such Borrower. Each current and prior employee, consultant or other Affiliate thereof has entered into an invention assignment agreement or similar agreement with such Borrower with respect to all intellectual property rights he or she owns that are related to the Borrowers’ business.

5.3 [Reserved].

5.4 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed from time to time pursuant to Section 6.2, there are no actions, suits, litigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened in writing, by or against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, officers or directors involving more than, individually or in the aggregate for all related proceedings, One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects Borrowers’ consolidated financial condition and Borrowers’ consolidated results of operations as of the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrowers’ consolidated financial condition since the date of the Borrowers’ and their respective Subsidiaries most recent financial statements submitted to the Lender.

5.6 Regulatory Compliance. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Borrower is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Each Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law, in each case where the failure to comply or the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. No Borrower or any Subsidiary is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Advances or other Credit Extensions under this Agreement have been (or will be) used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Advances or other Credit Extensions under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. None of Borrowers’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by such Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to

9

EXHIBIT 10.1

continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5.7 Subsidiaries; Investments. No Borrower has any Subsidiaries, except as noted on the Perfection Certificate. No Borrower owns any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other Equity Interest except for Permitted Investments.

5.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) has timely filed all required tax returns and reports (or requested timely extensions therefor), and (ii) has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, except (a) to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) to the extent such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). No Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is aware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any prior tax years of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries which could result in a material amount of additional taxes becoming due and payable by such Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries.

5.9 Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any report, certificate, or written statement submitted to the Lender by or on behalf of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written reports, written certificates and written statements submitted to the Lender, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the reports, certificates or written statements not misleading (it being recognized by Lender that the projections and forecasts provided by any Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

5.11 Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to a Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” a Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer.

5.12 Shares. Such Borrower has full power and authority to create a first Lien on the Shares and no legal restriction or contractual obligation exists that would prohibit such Borrower from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. There are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Shares are not the subject of any present or suit threatened in writing, action,

10

EXHIBIT 10.1

arbitration, administrative or other proceeding, and such Borrower knows of no reasonable grounds for the institution of any such proceedings.

6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each Borrower shall do all of the following:

6.1 Government Compliance.

(a) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

(b) Obtain all of the Governmental Approvals required in connection with such Borrower's business and for the performance by each Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a Lien to Lien in accordance therewith, and comply with the terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals in all material respects.

(b) Provide Lender five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank, broker, credit union or other financial institution, and upon opening such account, provide Lender with a written notice identifying the name, address of each bank or other institution, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor. For each Collateral Account that any at any time maintains (and, within ten (10) days after the opening or acquisition of any Collateral Accounts after the Effective Date), Borrowers shall cause the applicable bank, broker, credit union or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Lender’s Lien or to otherwise provide direct control to Lender in accordance with customary market terms with respect to such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder, which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Lender.

6.5 Taxes; Pensions. Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports (or extensions thereof) and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, in each case except to the extent provided for in Section 5.8 hereof, and shall deliver to Lender, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms.

6.6 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days’ notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrowers' Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months (or more frequently as Lender reasonably determines that conditions warrant) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall occur as often as Lender shall determine is necessary.

6.7 Insurance.

(a) Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrowers’ industry and location and as Lender may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of any Borrower, and in amounts that are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Lender as the sole lender loss payee. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Lender as an additional insured. Lender shall be named as lender loss

13

EXHIBIT 10.1

payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral.

(b) Ensure that proceeds payable under any property policy are, at Lender’s option, payable to Lender on account of the Obligations.

(c) At Lender’s request, Borrower Representative shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments. Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 6.7 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Lender, that it will give Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be materially altered or canceled (or ten (10) days in the case of a cancellation for non-payment of premiums). If any Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Lender, Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.7, and take any action under the policies Lender deems prudent.

6.8 Board Observation Rights. Borrower Representative will allow the Lender, or its designee, to appoint one person to attend all meetings of the Board and the M&A oversight committee, in the capacity of board observer and not a board member (the “Board Observer”), whether such meetings are conducted in-person, telephonically or otherwise remotely. Borrower Representative shall (a) give the Board Observer notice of all such meetings, at the same time as furnished to the directors of Borrower Representative, (b) provide to the Board Observer all notices, documents and information furnished to the directors of the Borrower Representative, whether at or in anticipation of a meeting, an action by written consent or otherwise, at the same time furnished to such directors, (c) notify the Board Observer and permit the Board Observer to participate by telephone in emergency meetings of the Board and all committees and sub-committees thereof, and (d) provide the Board Observer copies of all actions by written consent or minutes of all such meetings at the time such minutes are furnished to the members of the Board; provided that, in each case, the Board may require the Board Observer to either not attend or temporarily leave a meeting of the Board, or withhold documents and information, if it reasonably determines, in good faith and upon advice of counsel, that the presence of the Board Observer at such time, or the provision of any document or information, would (i) prevent Borrower Representative or any Subsidiary from engaging in attorney-client privileged communication with counsel to the material detriment of Borrower Representative or such Subsidiary, (ii) result in a conflict of interest with Borrower Representative or any Subsidiary due to the relationship between such Borrower (or Subsidiary), Lender or the Board Observer so long as, in each case, such Borrower (or Subsidiary) notifies Lender of such determination and provides the Board Observer a general description of the information or materials that have been withheld, to the extent that providing such description does not jeopardize the attorney-client privilege to be preserved, or (iii) result in the conflicts to be avoided or violate applicable confidentiality provisions (it being understood and agreed that Borrower Representative and any applicable Subsidiary will take reasonable steps to minimize any such exclusions). For the avoidance of doubt, no statement made by the Board Observer shall be construed as an action of Lender or its Affiliates for purposes of the Loan Documents nor shall the Board Observer have

14

EXHIBIT 10.1

any ability to bind the Lender or its Affiliates to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

6.9 Liquidity. Maintain at all times, but confirmed monthly by delivery of a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.2(c), undrawn availability under the Revolving Facility, plus unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of Borrowers in one (1) or more Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts subject to a first priority perfected Lien (other than as set forth in the related Control Agreement(s)) in favor of Lender, in an aggregate amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) at any one time; provided, however, the requirement for a first priority perfected Lien shall not be effective until the relevant date set forth in Schedule 1 (or by such other date as Lender may approve in writing).

6.10 Protection and Registration of Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business; promptly advise Lender in writing of any material infringements or any other event that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of its Intellectual Property material to its business; not suffer any material claim of infringement that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change unless such claim is dismissed within thirty days from initiation thereof or Borrowers have demonstrated to Lender's reasonable satisfaction that such proceedings are without merit and adequate reserves have been taken; and not allow any Intellectual Property material to Borrowers' business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Lender’s written consent.

(b) If any Borrower (i) obtains any Patent, registered Trademark, registered Copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner or licensee, or (ii) applies for any Patent or the registration of any Trademark, then Borrower Representative shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Lender and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Lender may reasonably request to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Lender in such property. If a Borrower decides to register any Copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower Representative shall: (x) provide Lender with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such Borrower's intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with such office (excluding exhibits thereto); and (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Lender may request to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected Lien in favor of Lender in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with such office.

From the Effective Date and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Lender, without expense to Lender, Borrowers and their respective officers, employees and agents and Borrowers' Books, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to such Borrower.

15

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Lender;

(c) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with

19

EXHIBIT 10.1

Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, and notify any Person owing a Borrower money of Lender’s Lien in such funds;

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its Lien in the Collateral;

(e) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, and notify any Person owing any Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds. Each Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Lender and, if requested by Lender, immediately deliver the payments to Lender in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower;

(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;

(i) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrowers' Books; and

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment

20

EXHIBIT 10.1

or security; (b) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Lender’s or such Borrower’s name, as Lender chooses); (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Lender’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents have been terminated.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower Representative with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Lender shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from any Borrower’s account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Lender shall pay any surplus to Borrowers by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.

9.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance

21

EXHIBIT 10.1

and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.6 Demand Waiver. Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which such Borrower is liable.

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

9.8 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable secured lender practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

10. NOTICES

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by electronic mail or facsimile transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address, facsimile number, or email address indicated below.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Borrower and Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrowers’ actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

EXHIBIT 10.1

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been satisfied. So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrowers, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Lender. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.
