Private Placement of Class A Ordinary Shares

On or about September 14, 2023, Waldencast plc (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed for 14,000,000 (the “PIPE Shares”) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 each per share, of the Company (the “Class A Shares”), in a private placement at a purchase price of $5.00 each per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment is anchored by a $50 million investment by a Beauty Ventures LLC stakeholder. The remainder of the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment are certain existing shareholders, certain members of the sponsor, and Michel Brousset, Founder and Chief Executive Officer and Hind Sebti, Founder and Chief Growth Officer. The Subscription Agreements relating to approximately $68 million of proceeds have been consummated, with the closings of Subscription Agreements relating to the remaining approximately $2 million expected to occur no later than following the receipt of a certain regulatory approval (the “Future Closing” and together with the closings of all other Subscription Agreements, the “Closings”) (the date on which such Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).” A copy of the press release announcing the PIPE Investment is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Following the Closings, the Company will have a total of 122,152,112 Class A Shares issued and outstanding. No Class B ordinary shares, warrants or other securities of the Company were issued in connection with the PIPE Investment.

The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investors provide for certain lock-up restrictions. Pursuant to the lock-up restrictions, the PIPE Investors agreed not to transfer or sell, during the respective lock-up period, any (i) PIPE Shares or (ii) Class A Shares held by such PIPE Investor at or prior to the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Shares”). For 75% of the Lock-Up Shares, the lock-up period means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date. For 25% of the Lock-Up Shares, the lock-up period means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

The PIPE Investment reflects the continued strong support of the Company’s existing investors and the confidence that this group has in the management team, the strength of the Company’s brands, and the group’s long-term strategy.

Of the net proceeds from the PIPE Investment, approximately $50 million will be used to fully repay the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement (as defined below), and the remaining proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes. By fully repaying the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement, the Company’s capital structure will be better positioned, thereby allowing the Company to pursue a goal of achieving a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio below 2x towards the end of fiscal year 2024. Achieving a less leveraged position will help enable the Company to explore brand development and acquisition opportunities to achieve its growth objectives.

The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investors provide for certain registration rights. In particular, the Company is required to, as soon as practicable but no later than 60 days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) notice that the post-effective amendment filed in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267053), has been declared effective, submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares. Additionally, the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the registration statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest of: (i) the date the PIPE Investors no longer hold any registrable shares, (ii) the date all registrable shares held by the PIPE Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (iii) two years from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.

One of the Subscription Agreements that will be consummated at a Future Closing is terminable with no further force and effect (x) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, or (y) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in such Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to such Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by such

Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at such Closing Date. PJT Partners, a global, advisory-focused investment bank, acted as the Company’s independent financial advisor in connection with the PIPE Investment.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment to Credit Agreement

As previously disclosed, on June 24, 2022, Waldencast Finco Limited, a private company incorporated under the laws of Jersey with registered number 143249 (the “Borrower”) and indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Waldencast Partners LP (the “Parent Guarantor”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

On September 15, 2023, the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Administrative Agent and the required Lenders, pursuant to which they agreed to (i) waive any default or event of default that has or would result from (a) the failure to deliver the financial information and related reports with respect to the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2022 and the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, (b) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in certain historical financial statements previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and (c) certain historical breaches of the financial covenants and (ii) amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify the existing financial covenant tests. The requirement to deliver certain of the financial information described in (i) above has been extended until December 31, 2023 (the “Waiver Expiration Date”). Failure to deliver the required financial information and certain other deliverables on or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date will result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement (unless otherwise waived or extended). The Amendment: (i) extends, with certain modifications, the previously disclosed restrictions on the Borrower’s, Parent Guarantor’s and certain of their subsidiaries’ ability to incur certain types of additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions and investments, create certain liens, dispose of certain assets and make certain types of restricted payments, (ii) establishes a minimum liquidity covenant of $15 million, which is certified on a monthly basis (and replaces the prior liquidity covenant) and (iii) introduces additional financial reporting obligations, in each case until the earlier of September 30, 2024 or such earlier time that the Company elects to test the financial covenants in the same manner as prior to giving effect to the Amendment.

Following the Waiver Expiration Date, if the required financial statements have not been delivered, the Administrative Agent and the required Lenders will have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement with respect to the resulting event of default, including, among other things, the acceleration of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders will continue to grant the Borrower waivers from any continuing or future defaults or events of default. A copy of the press release announcing the Amendment is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Business Update

Management Team Changes and Obagi Business Outlook

The Company continues to advance the expansion of Obagi Global Holdings Limited (“Obagi”) through the incorporation of new entities and hiring an experienced team of operators to lead the brand. In recent months, the Company has appointed several seasoned operators with in-depth expertise in the beauty category who will lead the team globally and help expedite the growth of the business in South-East Asia (SEA).

•Jordan Meyer has joined as the President of Obagi, with over a decade of experience in both the beauty and pharmaceutical fields including past roles at Eli Lilly, Younique, Coty, and Capsule. Jordan brings to Obagi, deep knowledge of the medical field, beauty industry, and digital channel.

•Linda Esposito has joined as the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of Obagi, with over 25 years of experience as a finance professional, having spent the last decade in the beauty and skincare industry, including CFO positions at U Beauty, Glamsquad, Kiehls (L’Oréal).

•Justin Giouzepis has joined as the Chief Marketing Officer of Obagi, with over 20 years of experience in the consumer goods sector and deep experience in eCommerce and digital marketing at L’Oréal, Henkel and Capital Brands.

To support Obagi and the group’s broader growth strategy, the Company has also made additional appointments at the group level including:

•Chris Driver, a seasoned professional with extensive global experience in consumer products, will focus on growing the Obagi brand in Vietnam in the near future, having previously served as General Manager of Thailand Consumer Products at L’Oréal in addition to various other General Manager and Commercial roles throughout the Asia Pacific region and the United Kingdom.

•Elisabeth Milan has been named General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, bringing more than a decade of legal experience to the Company having previously served as Head of Corporate and Commercial Legal at Deliveroo, as well as in a variety of roles at WeWork and several prominent law firms.

The Company continues to believe that Obagi is well positioned to expand and grow in the SEA region, which is a strategic priority for the Company due to the region’s strong consumer demand for skincare and beauty products thus creating a large addressable market for Obagi products. In connection with this restructuring, the Company is planning the re-launch of the Obagi brand in Vietnam under a new go-to-market structure, having resumed sales to customers online ahead of the brand relaunch, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. Over time, the Company intends to roll out the brand throughout the south Asian Pacific (APAC) region, which represents a potential business opportunity that is approximately ten times the size of the Vietnam market.

Obagi Accounting Review

As previously disclosed, the Company has continued to review the historical accounting used by Obagi with respect to the matters described in previous announcements furnished with the SEC. In connection with such review, the Company proactively self-reported the review to the SEC. While the Company is fully cooperating with the SEC and continues to respond to requests in connection with this matter, it cannot predict when such matters will be completed or the outcome and potential impact.

Milk MakeUp Business Outlook

Milk MakeUp LLC (“Milk MakeUp”) continues to demonstrate strong performance against its strategic goals. In 2023, Milk MakeUp successfully executed two high profile launches for its new products Pore Eclipse and Odyssey Lip Oil, delivering on its strategy to grow through innovation and launches into new product categories. The Company remains confident that Milk MakeUp is well positioned to deliver on its strategy and realize the significant opportunities available in its segment.

The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Subscription Price and other terms with respect to the purchase of the Shares that are no more favorable to such Other Investors than the terms of this Subscription Agreement and they shall not be amended after the date hereof to provide for terms with respect to the purchase of the Shares that are more favorable to such Other Investors than the terms of this Subscription Agreement, unless such terms are also offered to the Anchor Investor.

k.The Issuer is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Shares.

l.The Issuer (including any predecessor entities) is, and has been since formation, classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. For so long as the Anchor Investor holds any Registrable Shares (as defined below), the Issuer shall not take any action to alter its entity classification as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes without the Anchor Investor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied).

m.The Issuer and each of its subsidiaries have filed all material U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns which have been required to be filed and paid all material taxes shown thereon through the date hereof, to the extent that such taxes have become due and are not being contested in good faith. No material tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, and the Issuer has no knowledge of any material tax deficiency, penalty or assessment which has been or might be asserted or threatened against the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

6.Anchor Investor Representations and Warranties. The Anchor Investor represents and warrants to the Issuer, as of the date hereof, that:

a.If the Anchor Investor is a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), the Anchor Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the

Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Anchor Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Anchor Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A). The Anchor Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. If the Anchor Investor is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S), the Anchor Investor is not within the United States and is not being issued the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that he, she or it is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act and is acquiring the Shares for his, her or its own account or for an account over which it exercises sole discretion for another qualified institutional buyer or accredited investor.

b.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Issuer is not required to register the Shares except as set forth in Section 8 of this Subscription Agreement. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Anchor Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Issuer or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and that any certificates or book entries representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Anchor Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act will apply to the Shares. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.

c.Assuming the accuracy of the Issuer’s representations and warranties in Section 5, the consummation of the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Anchor Investor or any of its subsidiaries (if the Anchor Investor is not an individual) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Anchor Investor or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Anchor Investor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Anchor Investor is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Anchor Investor to enter into and timely perform the Anchor Investor’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement (an “Investor Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Anchor Investor; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Anchor Investor or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have an Investor Material Adverse Effect.

d.Assuming the accuracy of the Issuer’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5, and except for any applicable filings pursuant to applicable state securities laws or as may be required by the HSR Act, the Anchor Investor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal,

state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the subscription and purchase by the Anchor Investor of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

e.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the book-entry position representing the Shares will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following (provided that such legend shall be subject to removal in accordance with Section 8(e) hereof):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, RESOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT EXCEPT (I) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (II) TO NON-U.S. PERSONS PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (III) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (III), IF SO REQUESTED BY THE ISSUER, UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FROM THE HOLDER IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

f.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Anchor Investor is purchasing the Shares from the Issuer. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Anchor Investor by or on behalf of the Issuer, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement.

g.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the Issuer’s filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to:

i.the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 6-K, as furnished with the SEC on July 5, 2023, pursuant to which the management of the Issuer and the Audit Committee of the Issuer’s board of directors concluded that (i) the annual financial statements of Obagi Global Holdings Limited (“Obagi”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and associated report of the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), (ii) the interim financial statements of Obagi as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, and (iii) press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Issuer’s financial performance for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Relevant Periods”), should no longer be relied upon because the Issuer expects to restate the aforementioned financial statements and financial information for the Relevant Periods linked to the revenue recognition as applicable to: (A) Obagi’s sales activity to its Southeast Asia distributor during the second half of fiscal year 2022 and (B) marketing and other services purportedly performed by certain of Obagi’s distributors. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that on the basis of the aforementioned filings, Deloitte is conducting a complete reaudit of the Issuer’s results for fiscal years ended 2020 and 2021, and an initial audit of fiscal year end 2022 (collectively, the “Ongoing Audit”). Until the Ongoing Audit is completed, the Issuer cannot make any assurances as to the accuracy of the financial reports for those periods as currently filed, or whether, how, or to what degree such financial reports may be restated in the future. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that the Ongoing Audit is ongoing and the results of the Ongoing Audit are not available at this time. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that he, she or it must evaluate whether to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares without any reliable financial information regarding the Issuer’s results for fiscal years ending 2020, 2021 and 2022, and interim period for fiscal year 2023. The information to be contained in these reports is not available at this time and there can be no assurance that

such information would not have been material to the Anchor Investor’s decision whether to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement; and

ii.the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 6-K, as furnished with the SEC on August 21, 2023, pursuant to which the Issuer announced that on August 15, 2023 Waldencast Finco Limited (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and Waldencast Partners LP, entered into a third waiver and consent agreement to the Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the administrative agent and required lenders to the Credit Agreement agreed to (i) waive any default or event of default that has or would result from the failure to deliver the financial information and related reports with respect to the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2022 and the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively and (ii) suspend the testing of certain financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such waiver shall remain in effect until September 15, 2023 (the “Waiver Expiration Date”). The Anchor Investor acknowledges that failure to deliver the required financial information on or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date will result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement (unless otherwise waived or extended). The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that following the Waiver Expiration Date, if the required financial information has not been delivered, the administrative agent and the required lenders will have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement with respect to the resulting event of default, including, among other things, the acceleration of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that the administrative agent or the lenders will continue to grant the Borrower waivers from any continuing or future defaults or events of default, which, if not waived, could materially impact the Issuer’s financial condition.

h.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the risks detailed in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267053), originally filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022 and as thereafter amended, and in other documents that it files or furnishes with the SEC (which does not include the disclosure regarding the risks related to Section 6(g) above) (as of the date hereof, the “Current SEC Filings”). The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that those risks detailed in the Current SEC Filing may no longer be reflective of current risks of the Issuer, which may have an impact on the Anchor Investor’s investment decision.

i.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that (i) the Issuer currently may have, and later may come into possession of, material, nonpublic information (financial or otherwise), including, but not limited to, results of operations, businesses, properties, plans (including acquisition and divestiture plans) and prospects (collectively, “Information”), which Information is not currently known to the Anchor Investor and may (x) impact the value of the Shares and (y) be material to the Anchor Investor’s decision to enter into this Subscription Agreement and purchase the Shares, (ii) the Issuer has no duty to disclose to the Anchor Investor any of the Information, and (iii) the Issuer may have, and later may come into possession of, Information and after discussing these matters with the Anchor Investor’s counsel and such other advisors as the Anchor Investor deems appropriate, the Anchor Investor wishes to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement notwithstanding the Anchor Investor’s lack of knowledge of any such Information.

j.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Anchor Investor and the Anchor Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions and obtain such information as the Anchor Investor and such Anchor Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

k.The Anchor Investor understands the disadvantage to which the Anchor Investor may be subject on account of the disparity of information between the Issuer and the Anchor Investor. The Anchor Investor believes, by reason of its business and financial experience, that the Anchor Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions completed by this Subscription Agreement and of protecting the Anchor Investor’s own interest in connection therewith.

l.The Anchor Investor has conducted and completed his, her or its own independent due diligence with respect to the Shares. Based on such information as the Anchor Investor has deemed appropriate, the Anchor Investor has independently made his, her or its own analysis and decision to enter into this Subscription Agreement. Except for the representations, warranties and

agreements of the Issuer expressly set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Anchor Investor is relying exclusively on his, her or its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice he, she or it may deem appropriate) with respect to the Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties, respectively, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

m.The Anchor Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Anchor Investor and the Issuer or a representative of the Issuer, and the Shares were offered to the Anchor Investor solely by direct contact between the Anchor Investor and the Issuer, or a representative of the Issuer. The Anchor Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Anchor Investor, by any other means. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered to the Anchor Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Anchor Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that neither the Issuer or a representative of the Issuer is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor to the Anchor Investor. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Issuer, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making his, her or its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer.

n.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Issuer’s filings with the SEC. The Anchor Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and, without limiting the representations and warranties of the Issuer in Section 5, the Anchor Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Anchor Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Anchor Investor shall be responsible for any of the Anchor Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that the Issuer has not provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

o.Alone, based on his, her or its own independent review or with such professional advice as it deems appropriate, the Anchor Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares (i) are fully consistent with his, her or its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to it, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under its charter, by-laws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which it is bound and (v) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for it. The Anchor Investor is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares to be acquired by it hereunder and consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Anchor Investor is able to hold such Shares for an indefinite period of time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of all or a portion of its investment in such Shares in the event such loss should occur. The Anchor Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

p.In making his, her or its decision to purchase the Shares, the Anchor Investor has relied solely upon independent investigations made by the Anchor Investor and the representations and warranties in Section 5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Anchor Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer (other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement), or any of his, her or its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

q.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

r.The Anchor Investor, if not a natural person, has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction), with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

s.The execution, delivery and performance by the Anchor Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Anchor Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Anchor Investor is a party or by which the Anchor Investor is bound, and, if the Anchor Investor is not a natural person, will not violate any provisions of the Anchor Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature of the Anchor Investor on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Anchor Investor is a natural person, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Anchor Investor is not a natural person, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Anchor Investor, enforceable against the Anchor Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

t.Neither the Anchor Investor nor, if the Anchor Investor is not a natural person, any of its officers, directors, managers, managing members, general partners or any other person acting in a similar capacity or carrying out a similar function, is, or for the past five (5) years has been, (i) a person, government, or governmental entity that is the target of economic or financial sanctions requirements, or trade embargoes imposed, administered, or enforced by the U.S. government (including the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control or the U.S. Department of State), the United Nations, the European Union or any individual European Union member state, the United Kingdom, or other governmental authority (collectively, “Sanctions”), to the extent applicable, including (A) a person listed on any list of sanctioned persons maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations, the European Union or any individual European Union member state, the United Kingdom, or other governmental authority, to the extent applicable; (B) a person organized, incorporated, established, located, or resident in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to comprehensive Sanctions; (C) any person directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any person or persons described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B); (ii) a Designated National, as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that the Anchor Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. The Anchor Investor also represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions, and that for the past five years, the Anchor Investor has been in compliance with applicable Sanctions and the BSA/PATRIOT Act, as applicable.

7.No Hedging. The Anchor Investor hereby agrees that neither her, she or it, his, her or its controlled affiliates, nor any person or entity acting on his, her or its or his, her or its controlled affiliates’ behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales (as such term is defined in Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, 17 CFR 242.200) or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to the Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement). Nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit any other investment portfolios of the Anchor Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Anchor Investor’s participation in this transaction and have not been informed by the Anchor Investor of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (including the Anchor Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions.

8.Registration Rights.

a.The Issuer agrees that, within sixty (60) calendar days following the SEC’s notice that the post-effective amendment filed in connection with the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267053), originally filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022, has been declared effective (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-1 or Form F-3 (if the Issuer is then eligible to use a Form F-3 shelf registration) or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Shares acquired by the Anchor Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of three (3) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Registrable Shares”) and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Issuer that he, she or it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; provided further, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Anchor Investor furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Anchor Investor or his, her or its permitted assigns, the securities of the Issuer held by the Anchor Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be

reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Anchor Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 8 by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. In the event the Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file with the SEC one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. In no event shall the Anchor Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Anchor Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Anchor Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw the Anchor Investor’s Shares from the Registration Statement.

b.Following the filing of the financial statement restatements for all of the Relevant Periods on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, as applicable, for as long as the Anchor Investor holds Shares, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) under the Securities Act is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 under the Securities Act becomes available to the Anchor Investor). Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 8. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, respond to the Anchor Investor as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. For purposes of this Section 8, “Registrable Shares” shall include, as of the date of determination, the subscribed Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the subscribed Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and “Investor” shall include any affiliate of the Anchor Investor to which the rights under this Section 8 have been duly assigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

c.At its expense the Issuer shall:

i.except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Anchor Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) the date the Anchor Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by the Anchor Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) under the Securities Act, and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

ii.during the Registration Period, advise the Anchor Investor, as expeditiously as possible:

1.when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

2.after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

3.of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

4.subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising the Anchor Investor of the events described in Section 8(c)(ii), provide the Anchor Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to the Anchor Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

iii.during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

iv.during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8(c)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

v.during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed;

vi.during the Registration Period, if requested by the Anchor Investor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Anchor Investor to review disclosure regarding the Anchor Investor in the Registration Statement; and

vii.during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Anchor Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.

d.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines (i) that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (x) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (y) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (z) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to the Issuer and the majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, or (ii) to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the Ongoing Audit, or other accounting matters, or any related disclosure or other

matters (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Anchor Investor agrees that (i) he, she or it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) until the Anchor Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that he, she or it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) he, she or it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, the Anchor Investor will deliver to the Issuer or, in the Anchor Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in the Anchor Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent the Anchor Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

The Anchor Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that the Anchor Investor not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 8(d); provided, however, that the Anchor Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Anchor Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to the Anchor Investor and the Anchor Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Anchor Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Anchor Investor will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 8(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify the Anchor Investor, within one (1) business day of the Anchor Investor’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to the Anchor Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Anchor Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

e.Indemnification in connection with the Registration Rights.

i.The Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Anchor Investor (to the extent the Anchor Investor is a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, agents, advisors, and each person or entity who controls the Anchor Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one (1) law firm) arising from, in connection with, or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except (A) insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Anchor Investor expressly for use therein, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effective by or on behalf of

any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized by the Issuer or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Investor in violation of Section 8(d) hereof.

ii.In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Anchor Investor is participating, the Anchor Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents, advisors and each person or entity who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Anchor Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Anchor Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by the Anchor Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

iii.Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) outside counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

iv.The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

v.If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Anchor Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Anchor Investor from the sale of Registrable

Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

f.If the Shares acquired hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without the Issuer being in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Anchor Investor’s request, and subject to the Anchor Investor’s execution of customary representation letters, the Issuer will reasonably cooperate with the Issuer’s transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares will be removed in connection with a sale of such shares.

9.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof: (x) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, or (y) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach.

10.Lock-Up.

a.Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 10(b), the Anchor Investor agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of the Issuer, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate with respect to or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, any Shares (A) purchased by the Anchor Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and (B) held by the Anchor Investor prior to or as of the date hereof (the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of such Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (any of the actions specified in clauses (i)-(iii), collectively, a “Transfer”) until the end of the Lock-up Period.

b.The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to: (i) in the case of an entity, Transfers to or distributions to any direct or indirect stockholder, partner, member or affiliate of such entity or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control or management with such entity or affiliates of such entity; (ii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by bona fide gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, to an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by will or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, Transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; and (v) in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state or jurisdiction of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v) (each such person who receives Lock-Up Shares pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii), a “Permitted

Transferee”), such Permitted Transferee must enter into a written agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such Permitted Transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Anchor Investor and not to the immediate family of the Permitted Transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the Anchor Investor; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

c.For purposes of this Section 10:

i.(i) The term “Lock-up Period” means:

1.for 75% of the Lock-Up Shares held by the Anchor Investor and its Permitted Transferees, the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date; and

2.for 25% of the Lock-Up Shares held by the Anchor Investor and its Permitted Transferees, the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

11.Miscellaneous.

a.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party shall retain all rights, remedies, suits, claims, demands, causes of action or similar proceedings (legal, equitable or otherwise) against any person to the extent of such person’s willful and intentional misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact actually known to such person, which misrepresentation or concealment constitutes an actual fraud or breach of fiduciary duty (it being understood that for such purposes, the actual knowledge of a party hereto shall be interpreted to be the actual knowledge of the senior officers of such party).

b.Without the prior written consent of the Issuer, neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Anchor Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than an assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Anchor Investor or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Subscription Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, including with respect to the Anchor Subscription Amount and other terms and conditions, provided, that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Subscription Agreement shall remain bound by his, her or its obligations under this Subscription Agreement in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with his, her or its obligations to consummate the purchase of Shares contemplated hereby.

c.The Issuer may request from the Anchor Investor such additional information as the Issuer may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Anchor Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Anchor Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Issuer may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of the Issuer.

d.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties of the Anchor Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Anchor Investor agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Anchor Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Anchor Investor of Shares from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Anchor Investor as of the time of such purchase.

e.The Issuer and the Anchor Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

f.This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties

hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

g.This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 8(e) and Section 11(c) with respect to the persons referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

h.Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

i.If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

j.Each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

k.This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf or by DocuSign or similar electronic signature) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

l.The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

m.All of the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any statute of limitations pursuant to applicable law or in accordance with their respective terms, if a shorter period.

n.THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 14 OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF. THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

o.EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other investor pursuant to any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including the Anchor Investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) or (ii) any affiliates, or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, shall be liable (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Anchor Investor or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, or have any liability or obligation, to the Anchor Investor, any person claiming through such Investor, or to any other investor, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or the subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Second Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Parent Guarantor, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2022 (as amended by that certain Technical Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2022, that certain Waiver and Consent to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2023, that certain Second Waiver and Consent to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2023, that certain Third Waiver and Consent to Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2023 (the “Third Waiver”), and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”; and as further amended by this Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has failed to furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) the financial statements, reports and other documents as required under Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2022, and (ii) the related deliverables required under Sections 5.02(a) and 5.02(d) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Annual Financial Deliverables”) within the time periods set forth in Sections 5.01(a), 5.02(a) and 5.02(d) of the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent (i) to waive any Default or Event of Default that has resulted (or would result) solely from the non-delivery of the Specified Quarterly Financial Deliverables (as defined below) within the time periods set forth in Sections 5.01(b), 5.02(a) and 5.02(d) of the Credit Agreement (the “Specified Quarterly Deliverables Defaults”), (ii) to waive, on a temporary basis during the Waiver Period (as defined below), any Default or Event of Default that has resulted (or would result) solely from the non-delivery of the Specified Annual Financial Deliverables within the time periods set forth in Sections 5.01(a), 5.02(a) and 5.02(d) of the Credit Agreement (the “Specified Annual Deliverables Defaults”), (iii) to waive any Default or Event of Default that has resulted (or would result) solely from non-compliance with the requirements of Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (the “Financial Covenant Defaults”) and (iv) to waive any Event of Default that has resulted (or would result) pursuant to Section 7.01(d) solely from any inaccuracy of the representations contained in Sections 3.05(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement (the “Historical Financial Defaults” and, together with the Specified Annual Deliverables Defaults, the Specified Quarterly Deliverables Defaults and the Financial Covenant Defaults, the “Specified Defaults”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto constituting the Required Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to waive (i) the Specified Quarterly Deliverables Defaults and the Financial Covenant Defaults, (ii) subject to Section 2(c) below, the Historical Financial Defaults and (iii) until the earlier of (x) December 31, 2023 and (y) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than any Specified Default) under the Amended Credit Agreement (the occurrence of any such Event of Default, a “Default Trigger”) (such period, the “Waiver Period”), the Specified Annual Deliverables Defaults;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.

a.The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement.

b.Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

SECTION 2. LIMITED WAIVER.

a.Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders party hereto constituting the Required Lenders hereby waive (i) the Specified Quarterly Deliverables Defaults and the Financial Covenant Defaults, (ii) subject to Section 2(c) below, the Historical Financial Defaults and (iii) solely during the Waiver Period, the Specified Annual Deliverables Defaults; provided, that, the waivers included in this Section 2(a)(iii) shall automatically and without any further action by the Lenders cease to be effective for all purposes on the earlier of (x) December 31, 2023 (the “Waiver Expiration Date”) and (y) the occurrence of any Default Trigger; provided, further, that to the extent that (x) all of the Specified Annual Financial Deliverables are delivered on or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date and (y) no Default Trigger shall have occurred on or prior to such date, then the waiver set forth in this Section 2(a)(iii) shall be permanent and any such Specified Annual Deliverables Default shall be deemed permanently cured and waived. The parties hereto agree that the failure by the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent the Specified Annual Financial Deliverables on or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date shall constitute, without the requirement of delivery of any notice set forth therein (or any other demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower and Parent Guarantor each hereby waive), an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(c) (without reference to any cure period contained therein) of the Amended Credit Agreement.

b.Without limiting the generality of any provision of the Amended Credit Agreement, the waivers set forth in clause (a) above shall be limited precisely as written and relate solely to the applicable referenced sections of the Amended Credit Agreement in the manner and to the extent described above, and nothing in this Second Amendment shall be deemed to (i) constitute a waiver of compliance by the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower or amendment with respect to any other term, provision or conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, (ii) waive any other existing or future Default or Event of Default or (iii) prejudice any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein (all of which rights and remedies are expressly reserved). The waivers set forth in clause (a) above shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver is given. This Second Amendment shall not entitle the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to any other or further waiver in any similar or other circumstances.

c.On or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, updated versions of the financial statements required pursuant to Sections 3.05(a) and (b) of the Amended Credit Agreement, in each case giving effect to any corrections or restatements prepared by the Borrower’s auditors or financial advisors, solely to the extent that such financial statements have been corrected or restated by the Borrower’s auditors or financial advisors.

d.Each Lender party to this Second Amendment hereby waives any break funding payments otherwise owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Amended Credit Agreement in connection with any repayment of Revolving Loans with the proceeds of the Second Amendment Equity Contribution (as defined below) on or prior to September 20, 2023.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Parent Guarantor and the Borrower each hereby represents that as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to this Second Amendment, (x) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects (provided that, any representation and warranty that is qualified by Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier, in all respects) as of such earlier date and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 4. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS OF SECOND AMENDMENT. This Second Amendment shall become effective on and as of the date (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) of satisfaction of the following conditions:

a.the Administrative Agent shall have received executed counterparts of this Second Amendment from the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders constituting the Required Lenders;

e.the Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, reimbursement or payment of all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by any Loan Party under any Loan Document.

SECTION 5. EFFECT ON PRIOR WAIVER.

SECTION 6. CONTINUING EFFECT; NO NOVATION. Except as expressly amended, waived or modified hereby, the Loan Documents shall continue to be and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. This Second Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of any Loan Document not expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or modification of any action on the part of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties that would require an amendment, waiver or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders except as expressly stated herein, or be construed to indicate the willingness of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to further amend, waive or modify any provision of any Loan Document amended, waived or modified hereby for any other period, circumstance or event. Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed and are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Lender and the Administrative Agent reserves all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law and/or equity. Any reference to “this Agreement” in the Credit Agreement or the “Credit Agreement” in any Loan Document or any related documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment and the term “Loan Documents” in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include this Second Amendment. Neither this Second Amendment nor the execution, delivery or effectiveness of this Second Amendment shall extinguish the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing implied in this Second Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the other Loan Documents or in any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of its obligations and liabilities as a “Borrower,” “Parent Guarantor,” “Guarantor,” or “Loan Party,” under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, until (as applicable) and except to any extent expressly modified hereby.

SECTION 7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECOND AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

SECTION 9. COUNTERPARTS. This Second Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Second Amendment that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Second Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Second Amendment, any document to be signed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that, nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further that, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.

(ii) in the event that any Permitted Acquisitions or other permitted Investments in the nature of an acquisition are made subsequent to the last day of the applicable Measurement Period for which such pro forma ratio is being calculated but on or prior to the Ratio Calculation Date, then Consolidated EBITDA shall be (x) increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the property or Investment that is the subject of such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment in the nature of an acquisition, in each case assuming such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment had been made on the first day of the applicable Measurement Period and (y) otherwise calculated as set forth in the third paragraph of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” on a Pro Forma Basis; and

(iii) in the event that Dispositions are made subsequent to the last day of the applicable Measurement Period for which such pro forma ratio is being calculated but on or prior to the relevant Ratio Calculation Date, then Consolidated EBITDA shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the property that is the subject of such Disposition or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto, in each case assuming such Disposition had been made on the first day of the applicable Measurement Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for the purpose of (A) measuring the relevant financial ratios and basket availability or pro forma compliance with any covenant with respect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Facility, or Incremental Revolving Commitments) or Liens or the making of any Investments (including the determination of whether an acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition) or Dispositions or the designation of any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (B) other than in connection with the establishment of any Incremental Revolving Facility or the incurrence of any Revolving Loans, determining compliance with representations and warranties or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g)), in each case, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition (including any incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of any Liens, the making of any Investments or Restricted Payments or the repayment of any Indebtedness for which an irrevocable notice of prepayment or redemption is required), if the Borrower has made an LCA Election with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of any Liens, the making of any Investments or Restricted Payments or the repayment of any Indebtedness for which an irrevocable notice of prepayment or redemption is required) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently completed Measurement Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such financial ratio or basket, such financial ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any financial ratio or basket availability on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (y) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such financial ratio or basket availability shall be calculated (and tested) (A) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of any Liens, the making of any Investments or Restricted Payments or the repayment of any Indebtedness for which an irrevocable notice of prepayment or redemption is required) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated and (B) solely with respect to (i) the making of any Restricted Payments or (ii) payments of Junior Indebtedness, on a standalone basis without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.06 and 6.14, with respect to any grant of any Lien, the making of any Investment or Restricted Payment, the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasement or satisfaction of Junior Indebtedness (each, a “Covenant Transaction”) in reliance on a “basket” that makes reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of

changes in the amount of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, occurring after the time such Covenant Transaction is incurred, granted or made in reliance on such provision.

(e) For purposes of calculating any ratio test utilized in any debt incurrence test (including any amounts permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 2.20), such ratio shall be calculated after giving effect to any such incurrence on a pro forma basis, and, in each case, with respect to any revolving credit commitments being established utilizing a debt incurrence test (including any Incremental Revolving Facility), assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of such revolving credit commitment (but no other previously established revolving commitment).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Total Leverage Ratio test and any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to any substantially concurrent utilization of the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

Section 1.13. Basket Amounts and Application of Multiple Relevant Provisions

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any dollar, number, percentage or other amount available under any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be accumulated, added, combined, aggregated or used together by any Loan Party and the Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (b) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 1.14. Cashless Roll

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

Article II The Credits

Section 2.01. Commitments

. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Revolving Lender (severally and not jointly) agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (b) each Term Lender with a Term Loan Commitment (severally and not jointly) agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower in Dollars on the Funding Date, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings

. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that, the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. The Term Loans shall amortize as set forth in Section 2.10.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or result in any increased cost to the Borrower.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that, an ABR Revolving

Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that, there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings

. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by irrevocable written notice (via a written Borrowing Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) (a) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days (or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing to be made on the Funding Date, one (1) Business Day) before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing and whether such Borrowing is a Revolving Borrowing or a Term Loan Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. [Reserved]

Section 2.05. [Reserved]

Section 2.06. Letters of Credit

. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or the Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall transmit by electronic communication to an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the relevant Issuing Bank and using the relevant Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $7,500,000, (ii) the sum of (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time (such sum for any Issuing Bank at any time of determination, its “Outstanding LC Amount”) shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment (provided that, notwithstanding this clause (ii) but at all times subject to the

immediately preceding clause (i) and the immediately succeeding clauses (iii) and (iv), an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue, amend or extend a Letter of Credit if such issuance, amendment or extension would cause such Issuing Bank’s Outstanding LC Amount to exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment), (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iv) each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that, the Borrower shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iv) shall not be satisfied.

No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the relevant Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, one year after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that, any Letter of Credit with a one‑year tenor may contain customary automatic extension provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank that provide for the extension thereof for additional one‑year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referenced in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit may expire no later than ninety one (91) days after the Maturity Date so long as the Borrower Cash Collateralizes an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, concurrently with the issuance of such a Letter of Credit having an expiry date later than the Maturity Date (or, as applicable, concurrently with any amendment or extension of such a Letter of Credit that results in such Letter of Credit having an expiry date later than the Maturity Date), in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from each Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day that the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each

Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Bank; provided that, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that, any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full within one (1) Business Day of the date on which such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of

payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Bank. (A) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

(B) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i)(A) above.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105 % of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(f). The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or Section 2.06(c), if any LC Exposure remains outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 2.06(c)(ii), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of the amount of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, or states that a Restricted Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the relevant Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for the Subsidiaries inures to

the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank pays any amount in respect of one or more drawings under Letters of Credit, the date of such payment(s) and the amount of such payment(s), (iii) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any amount required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such payment in respect of Letters of Credit and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(m) Addition of an Issuing Bank. Any Revolving Lender reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank.

Section 2.07. Funding of Borrowings

. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Term Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement covering the reimbursement of Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that, Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or in the case of an ABR Borrowing, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.08. Interest Elections

. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (by irrevocable written notice via an Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under such Borrowing.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (A) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and (B) if applicable following a Benchmark Replacement or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.14, each RFR Borrowing, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments

. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) all Commitments shall terminate on August 15, 2022 if the Funding Date shall not have occurred prior to such time, (ii) any unfunded Term Loan Commitments shall terminate on the Funding Date after the funding of Term Loans on such date and (iii) all other Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments and, prior to the Funding Date, the Term Loan Commitments; provided that, (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $2,500,000 and not less than $2,500,000 (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (A) the amount of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed its Revolving Commitment or (B) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iii) each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $2,500,000 and not less than $2,500,000.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that, a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the (i) Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments and (ii) Term Loan Commitments shall be made ratably among the Term Lender’s in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that, the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the Obligations (including the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2, as applicable, or otherwise as approved by the Administrative Agent (such notes, collectively, the “Notes”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form.

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without penalty or premium (other than break funding payments required by Section 2.16) subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11(a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a notice of termination of the Commitments that is conditional upon the effectiveness of other transactions, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section

2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Borrowing and each voluntary prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans included in the prepaid Term Loan Borrowing in such order of application as directed by the Borrower, and each mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11(e).

(e) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or provided in, or intended with respect to, any Incremental Amendment (provided, that such Incremental Amendment may not, without the consent of the requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02, provide that the applicable Class of Term Loans receive a greater than pro rata portion of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) than would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement), in each case effectuated or issued in a manner consistent with this Agreement, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be allocated ratably to the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (if any) then outstanding.

Section 2.12. Fees

. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the “Commitment Fee Rate” specified in the definition of Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day following such last day and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that, any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.
