If any Loan Party is required by applicable Legal Requirements to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then:

(i)if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased so that after all such required deductions or withholdings are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; and

(ii)the Loan Parties shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.11(a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(c)The Loan Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by the Lender, on or with respect to an amount payable by any Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, together with any expenses arising in connection therewith and with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate from the Lender as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Lender the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the relevant return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e)If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund (or the amount of any credit in lieu of refund) to the applicable Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit in lieu

of refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit in lieu of

refund); provided that, the applicable Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Loan Party (plus any interest, penalties, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund or credit in lieu of refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to this subsection if the payment of such amount would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this paragraph (e) shall be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential to any Borrower or any other Person.

(f)The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(a)The Applicable Rate may be adjusted by the Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any material additional or increased costs to the Lender due to any Change in Law occurring subsequent to the Closing Date, including changes in Tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income Tax laws). In any such event, the Lender shall give the Administrative Borrower and the Collateral Agent advance prior written notice of such a determination and adjustment. Upon its receipt of such notice from the Lender, the Administrative Borrower may, by notice to the Lender (i) require the Lender to furnish to the Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such Applicable Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (ii) repay the Loan with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.11).

(b)In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for the Lender to maintain the Loan or to continue such maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the Applicable Rate, the Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative Borrower and the Collateral Agent.

(c)The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(a)All Borrowers shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all Obligations, including, without limitation, all amounts due to the Collateral Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of which Borrower actually receives any proceeds of the Obligations or the manner in which the Collateral Agent and Lenders account for

such Obligations on its books and records or for any other reason. The Obligations with respect to

the Loan made to the Borrowers, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers.

(b)The Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to the Loan or other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (ii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of any other Borrower or other Person, (iii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce or failure to realize the full value of the same, (iv) any amendment (however fundamental) replacement variation, assignment termination and/or the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Collateral Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to the Collateral Agent or Lenders, (v) the failure by the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain its Lien in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (vi) the election of the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, (viii) any insolvency, liquidation, administration or similar procedure or corporate action in respect of any other Borrower and/or any legal proceedings or procedures by any of the other Borrowers’ creditors or (ix) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the other Borrowers.

(c)With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loan proceeds or other Obligations, each Borrower waives, until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person.

(d)Upon any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, the Collateral Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, Lenders or any other Person shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(e)Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or

hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement.

(a)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Ventures as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Lender and Collateral Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by each Loan Party to act as the agent of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.01. Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loan proceeds to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of Borrowers hereunder, shall be paid to or issued for the account of such Borrower.

(b)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive Loan proceeds pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from the Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. The Lender may disburse the Loan proceeds to such bank account of Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time require that amounts be disbursed directly to an operating account of a Borrower or to any other Person.

(c)Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from the Lender and Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any Loan Party by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party.

(a)Appointment. Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent, and the Borrowers hereby consent to the same, to act on Lender’s behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by Lender herein and under the Loan Documents pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and

discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary

notwithstanding, the Borrowers, Lender, and the Collateral Agent hereby agree that the Lender has delegated to the Collateral Agent all rights to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Loan Document or to enforce any Security Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents have been delegated to the Collateral Agent and may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

(b)Collateral. The Borrowers and the Lender irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent at its option and in its discretion: (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Lender) under any Loan Document pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof (A) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lender; (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iii) to release any Borrower from its obligations under this Agreement (and each other applicable Loan Document) if such Borrower ceases to be a Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

(c)Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to exercising rights with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may presume that such condition has been satisfied upon the Collateral Agent’s written notice from the Lender of such satisfaction. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(i)The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, which shall be ministerial and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent:

(A) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise or as may otherwise be directed in writing by the Lender; provided that, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its

counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Debtor Relief Law applicable to any

Borrower; and (C) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(ii)The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (A) with the consent or at the request of the Lender, or (B) in the absence of its own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii)The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by any Loan Party or the Lender. In the event that the Collateral Agent receives such notice, the Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lender. Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such direction, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lender. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that the Collateral Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

(iv)The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (E) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(v)The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for or have any duty to ascertain, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have no

(A) obligation to ascertain, monitor or inquire whether the Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (B) liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of Information, to any Disqualified Institution.

(vi)The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this

Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular

manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion.

(d)Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the secured parties (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the secured parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the secured parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each secured party to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lender, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(e)Indemnification. To the extent that the Collateral Agent or any Related Party of the foregoing is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Borrower, and whether or not the Collateral Agent has made demand on the Administrative Borrower for the same, the Lender will, within five (5) days of written demand by the Collateral Agent, reimburse the Collateral Agent and such Related Parties for and indemnify the Collateral Agent and such Related Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, client charges and expenses of counsel or any other advisor to the Collateral Agent and such Related Parties), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent and the Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent and such Related Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Lender shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses,

advances or disbursements for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination that such liability resulted from the Collateral Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance

of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The obligations of the Lender under this Section 3.02(f) shall survive the payment in full of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

(i)The Collateral Agent may at any time give thirty (30) days prior written notice of its resignation to the Lender and the Administrative Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent selected by the Lender in its sole discretion. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, or by such earlier date as agreed by the Lender (the “Agent Resignation Date”), then the retiring Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, on behalf of the Lender, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that no successor Collateral Agent shall be an Affiliate of the Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Regardless of whether a qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Agent Resignation Date.

(ii)The Collateral Agent may be removed as Collateral Agent at any time, with or without cause, by the Lender upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent (the “Agent Removal Date”). Upon any such removal, the Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent selected by the Lender in its sole discretion. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lender and shall have accepted such appointment on the Agent Removal Date, such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Agent Removal Date.

(iii)With effect from the Agent Resignation Date or the Agent Removal Date, as applicable (A) the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (B) except for any indemnity payments owing to the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to the Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Lender appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section 3.02(g). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent (except with respect to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Collateral Agent), and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor

unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 3.02(g)

and Sections 3.02(f) and 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Collateral Agent and its respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent hereunder.

Section 4.02 Conditions Precedent to each Second Tranche Term Loan. The obligation of the Lender (i) to make each Second Tranche Term Loan requested to be made by it hereunder or (ii) to advance any amounts subject to the terms of Section 6.14 is subject to the satisfaction (or the waiver by the Lender) of the following conditions precedent (collectively, the “Second Tranche Conditions”):

Borrowers shall use the Island Note Holdback to pay in full the obligations evidenced by the Island Note and for no other purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrowers are able to extend the maturity date of the Island Note as described above, there will be no Island Note Holdback and the funds subject to the Island Note Holdback shall be available to Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Borrowers shall use the Teichman Litigation Holdback to pay in full Ventures’ liability under the Teichman Litigation. If Ventures’ liability is less than the full amount of the Teichman Litigation Holdback, Borrowers may use the excess funds for any purpose under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if no judgment has been entered against Ventures in the Teichman Litigation at the time of Borrowers’ request for a Second Tranche Term Loan, then there shall be no Teichman Litigation Holdback and the funds in the Teichman Litigation Holdback shall be available to Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e)Borrowers acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this Section 8.03, may require approval from the Illinois Department of Agriculture, the Illinois Department of

Promptly after the finalization of any documentation for a proposed sale of one or more of the Selected Dispensaries (the “Dispensary Sale”), the Lender and the Collateral Agent shall apply for approval from the Applicable Regulator for the Dispensary Sale (“Regulator Approval”). The Borrowers hereby agree and covenant to (i) execute all documents requested by the Applicable Regulator or required under applicable Legal Requirements for the transfer contemplated by the Dispensary Sale, and (ii) not take any action that would prevent or inhibit the Regulator Approval.

(f)Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (i) a breach or threatened breach by Borrowers (or any of them) of any of their obligations under this Section 8.03 would give rise to irreparable harm to Lender for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (ii) if a breach or a threatened breach by Borrowers (or any of them) of any such obligations occurs, Lender will, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it at law, at equity, or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to (x) post a bond or other security, or (y) prove actual damages or that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy.

Except where prior notice is expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Borrower prior to taking any action taken in the preceding sentence, provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not limit the Collateral Agent’s right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Borrower hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03 and the Legal Requirements.

Section 8.04 Equity Cure Right. In the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with the requirements of any financial covenant set forth in Sections 6.11(b) and (c) until the tenth day after delivery of the related Compliance Certificate, Ventures shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Ventures, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the Borrowers, and apply the amount of the proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDAR with respect to such applicable quarter (the "Cure Right"); provided that (a) such proceeds are actually received

by the Borrowers no later than 10 Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder, (b) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than two times during the term of the Loans, (d) in each period of four fiscal quarters, there shall be at

least three consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised, and (e) such proceeds shall be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.06. If, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to any repayment of Debt in connection therewith), the Borrowers re in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 6.11(b) and (c), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Sections as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply on such date, and the applicable breach or default of such Sections 6.11(b) and (c) that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Sections 6.11(b) and

(c) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts other than the amount of Consolidated EBITDAR referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 9.01 Notices. Notices to any party shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by certified mail return receipt requested, by nationally-recognized overnight delivery service, or email addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below or otherwise designated in writing as set forth in this Section 9.01:

(a)No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and privileges provided by law. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall comply with paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Lender or Collateral Agent may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Borrower, the Lender, and the Collateral Agent; or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lender and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto.

(i)all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel

for the Lender (including the allocated costs of internal counsel for the Lender and/or Collateral Agent,

if any) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, or other modifications of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated); and1

(ii)all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and/or Collateral Agent, including the fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender and Collateral Agent, (including the allocated costs for any internal counsel for the Lender or Collateral Agent), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03 or (ii) in connection with the Loans issued under this Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring, workout, or negotiations in respect of the Loan Documents or such Loans.

(b)The Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges, and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnified Party, and all allocated costs of internal counsel for such Indemnified Party, if any), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, but expressly excluding any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and related expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties against another Indemnified Party or its Related Parties) arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of:

(i)the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated in any Loan Document, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations under any Loan Document, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents;

(iii)any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries in any way; or

(iv)any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrowers or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto;

provided that, such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Indemnified Party for

breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Loan Document, if a court of competent jurisdiction has rendered a final and non-appealable judgment in favor of such Borrower or such Loan Party on such claim.

(c)The Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits or anticipated savings), as opposed to actual or direct damages, resulting from this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of such Indemnified Party’s activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

(d)All amounts due under Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand is made for payment by the Lender and if not timely paid shall accrue interest at the Applicable Rate (or if applicable, the Default Rate).

(e)The Indemnified Parties agree that neither they nor any of their Subsidiaries will settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under Section 9.03 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, or proceeding) without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, or proceeding.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of any Borrower, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it). For purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund, or other Person that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender’s

rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to

be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11, and Section 9.03). Each Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(c)The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of any Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph

(b) of this Section; provided that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 and Section 2.07 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 with respect to any participation, than the Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. The Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d)To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were the Lender, as long as such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.07 as though it were the Lender.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any

investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued

interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Section 2.11, and ARTICLE IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(a)This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letters, and any other separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender or Collateral Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b)Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic PDF format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Each facsimile of any genuine signature shall be deemed enforceable to the same extent as an original signature. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), or any state law based on the UETA, provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Lender is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it; and provided, further, the Lender reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and each Borrower agrees to promptly deliver such manually executed counterpart signature pages.

(c)Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received a counterpart hereof executed by each Borrower and the Collateral Agent.

Section 9.07 Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision thereof or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the applicable Loan Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to

time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prior notice to the Administrative Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Administrative Borrower, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents to the Lender or its Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, and irrespective of whether or not the Lender or any Affiliate shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations of such Loan Party are owed to a branch, office, or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office, or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Borrower promptly after any such set off and appropriation and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and appropriation and application.

(a)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

(b)Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or equity, or whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Lender or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that any such action, litigation, or proceeding may be brought in any such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any such court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties

hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)Each Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 and agrees that nothing herein will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO AGENT, ATTORNEY, REPRESENTATIVE, OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

(a)The Lender and the Collateral Agent agree to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information received from any Borrower or any other Loan Party relating to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses; provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower or any Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as being confidential information (the “Confidential Information”), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed: (i) to its Affiliates and its Related Parties in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the preservation, exercise, or enforcement of the rights of the Lender under this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority); (iii) to the extent required by any Legal Requirement or regulations or by any subpoena, court order, or similar legal process; (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action, or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; (v) to (x) any actual or potential assignee, transferee, or participant in connection with the assignment or transfer by the Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or (y) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative, or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; provided that, any such potential assignee, transferee, participant, swap counterparty, or advisor is advised of, and agrees

(b)Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13 Anti-Corruption Information. The Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), Lender may be required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and each Borrower agrees to provide, or cause the other Loan Parties to provide, such information from time to time to the Lender.

Section 9.14 Federal Cannabis Laws. The parties expressly understand, acknowledge, and agree that, as of the Closing Date, the sale, transport, distribution, processing, manufacturing, cultivation or possession of cannabis (collectively, the “Prohibited Activities”) violates U.S. federal law, including, without limitation, the Federal Cannabis Laws. The parties further understand, acknowledge, and agree that they are entering into this Agreement in compliance with the cannabis laws, policies, and regulations of Massachusetts and Illinois, including the Legal Requirements. The parties understand, acknowledge, and agree that the Legal Requirements are subject to interpretation and further regulation regarding the Prohibited Activities. Each party covenants and agrees to adhere to the laws, policies, and regulations of all applicable governmental authorities (except to the extent otherwise noted in the first sentence of this Section), including the Legal Requirements.

Section 9.15 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Collateral Agent, or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Collateral Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 9.16 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase the first currency with such other

currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower

in respect of any such sum due from it to the Lender or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Lender, as may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender, as the against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Lender in such currency, the Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
