2.4
Section 2.2 (Term Loans). Section 2.2(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(b) Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments of accrued but unpaid interest only in arrears, commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date following the Funding Date of each Term Loan, and continuing on the Payment Date of each successive month thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Date. Borrower agrees to pay, on the Funding Date of each Term Loan, any initial partial monthly interest payment otherwise due for the period between the Funding Date of such Term Loan and the first Payment Date thereof. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears, to each Lender, as calculated by Collateral Agent (which calculations shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) based upon: (1) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in Section 2.3(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to thirty-five (35) months; provided, however, upon the payment of the Paydown Amount on the Paydown Date, such number of months shall be automatically reduced to twenty-nine (29) months. All unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Each Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower’s principal payment due on March 1, 2024 shall be deferred (x) if Borrower makes the entire payment of the Paydown Amount on the Paydown Date, and added to the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans to begin amortizing on July 1, 2024 or (y) if Borrower does not make the entire payment of the Paydown Amount on the Paydown Date, until March 15, 2024, at which time it will become due and owing.”

2.5
Section 2.2 (Term Loans). Section 2.2(d) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(d) Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans.

(i)
Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans prepaid on such prepayment date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) if the Borrower has elected not to draw the full amount of the Term B Loans prior to such prepayment date, the Non-Utilization Fee, (D) the Prepayment Fee, plus (E) all other outstanding Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on March 15, 2024 (the “Paydown Date”) Borrower shall have the option to prepay a portion of the Terms Loans, payable to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, in an amount (such amount, the “Paydown Amount”) equal to the sum of (1) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) of outstanding principal of such Term Loans, plus Twenty-Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen and 50/100 Dollars ($27,916.50) of all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (2) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) of the applicable portion of the Final Payment due in connection with the Term Loans being prepaid via the Paydown Amount, and (3) outstanding Lenders’ Expenses that are then due and payable. For the purposes of clarity, (x) any partial prepayment shall be applied pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under each Term Loan, and shall be applied pro-rata within each Term Loan tranche to reduce amortization payments under Section 2.2(b) on a pro-rata basis and (y) the Lenders agree to waive the applicable portion of the Prepayment Fee due in connection with the Term Loans being prepaid via the Paydown Amount.”
