W I T N E S E T H:

WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, Everest Consolidator Sponsor, LLC – Warrants Series, a series of Delaware series limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), has issued and sold a promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”) to the Noteholder;

WHEREAS, to induce the Noteholder to purchase Note from the Sponsor, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby the Guarantor, subject in all respects to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Guarantor) of the Condition (as defined below), and subject further to the waiver by the Noteholder set forth in Section 3 hereof, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Sponsor has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Sponsor may in the future provide, to the Guarantor, the Guarantor is willing to conditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.     Conditional Guaranty. Subject to, and effective only upon, the satisfaction (or waiver by the Guarantor) of the Condition, and subject further to the waiver by the Noteholder set forth in Section 3 hereof, Guarantor hereby guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations under the Note, including, without limitation, the principal of and interest on the Note owed by the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Subject to, and effective only upon, the satisfaction (or waiver by the Guarantor) of the Condition, and subject further to the waiver by the Noteholder set forth in Section 3 hereof, upon the failure by the Sponsor to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, subject to any applicable grace or notice and cure period, the Guarantor agrees that it shall forthwith pay such amount at the place and in the manner specified in the Note.

For purposes of this Guaranty, “Condition” means the Guarantor shall have consummated an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Guarantor’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Guarantor Certificate”)) prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the Guarantor Certificate).

Section 2.     Termination. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full or discharge and termination of the Note, (ii) the failure of the Condition to occur prior to the Termination Date or (iii) immediately prior to the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Guarantor, at which time the guarantees made hereunder shall be terminated.

Section 3.     Trust Account Waiver. The Noteholder understands that the Guarantor has established a Trust Account (as defined in the Guarantor Certificate) for the benefit of the Guarantor’s public stockholders and that, except for certain limited distributions of interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, the Guarantor may disburse monies from the Trust Account only (i) to the public stockholders of the Guarantor in the event they elect to redeem their shares, (ii) to the public stockholders of the Guarantor upon the liquidation of the Guarantor if it fails to consummate a Business Combination or (iii) to the Guarantor after, or concurrently with, the consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, for and in consideration of the Guarantor entering into this Guaranty and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Noteholder agrees, on behalf of itself, its affiliates, its equity holders and any of its respective representatives, that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account (“Claim”) and waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Guaranty and/or any other negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Guarantor and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (or the funds therein) for any reason whatsoever.

Section 5.     No Other Waivers. No failure or delay by the Noteholder, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Noteholder of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 6.     Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Noteholder and its successors and permitted assigns; provided, that the Guarantor shall not have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Noteholder, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 6 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Note in accordance with the terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

Exhibit A

Form of Note

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO EVEREST CONSOLIDATOR SPONSOR, LLC – WARRANTS SERIES THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

EVEREST CONSOLIDATOR SPONSOR, LLC – WARRANTS SERIES

PROMISSORY NOTE

No. 1

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Everest Consolidator Sponsor, LLC – Warrants Series, a series of a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to EVEREST CONSOLIDATOR – A SERIES OF MASTER FUND I LLC or its assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $1,725,000, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from time to time outstanding at the rate of 16.0% per annum. Subject to the conversion provisions set forth herein, all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Holder at any time after December 30, 2023 (the “Demand Date”).

Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be in immediately available funds.

This Note shall become due and payable immediately and automatically without notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events of default (individually, an “Event of Default” and collectively, “Events of Default”):

All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law.

No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.

The terms and provisions of this Note may be modified or amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the Maker and by the Holder.

This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time, without the prior written consent of the Holder.

All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be applied first to the accrued interest due and payable hereunder and the remainder, if any, to the outstanding principal.

The Maker and every endorser or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing, hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any permitted extension of the time of payment and to the addition or release of any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder.

The Holder agrees that no managing member, other holder of membership or equity interests, director or officer of the Maker shall have any personal liability for the repayment of this Note.

By accepting this Note and countersigning below, the Holder represents and warrants to the Maker that such Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

All rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York and this Note is executed as an instrument under seal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under this Note shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Holder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal remaining owed under this Note or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Holder 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 this Note.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Company (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), the Company will make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.
