2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and

 2.1.1 Growth Capital Advances. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Growth Capital Advances to Borrower from
time to time in three (3) tranches: “Tranche A”, “Tranche B”, and “Tranche C”. On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as all conditions precedent to the making thereof have been met, Bank
shall make a Growth Capital Advance under Tranche A, in an aggregate principal amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Tranche A Growth Capital Advance”). During the Tranche B Draw Period, Borrower may request and
Bank shall make Growth Capital Advances under Tranche B, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Tranche B Growth Capital Advances”). During the Tranche C Draw Period, Borrower may
request and Bank shall make Growth Capital Advances under Tranche C, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Tranche C Growth Capital Advances” and together with the Tranche A Growth
Capital Advance and the Tranche B Growth Capital Advances, each a “Growth Capital Advance” and collectively, the “Growth Capital Advances”). Each Growth Capital Advance shall be in minimum amounts of at least One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The aggregate outstanding amount of the Growth Capital Advances shall not, at any time, exceed the Growth Capital Line. 

(b) Repayment. The Growth Capital Advances shall be “interest-only” during the Interest-Only Period, with interest due and
payable in accordance with Section 2.3(d) hereof. Thereafter, the Growth Capital Advances shall be payable in equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest (each a “Growth Capital Advance Payment”)
beginning on the Amortization Start Date and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. Borrower’s final Growth Capital Advance Payment, due on the Growth Capital
Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Growth Capital Advances together with the Final Payment and any other amounts owing from Borrower to Bank in accordance with the Growth Capital Advances.

 *** Confidential
Treatment Requested. 













 (i) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less
than all, of the Growth Capital Advances advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (A) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay such Growth Capital Advances at least thirty (30) days prior to such
prepayment, and (B) pays, on the date of such prepayment (w) all outstanding principal due in connection with the Growth Capital Advances, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (x) the Prepayment Fee, (y) the Final Payment
and (z) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder in connection with the Growth Capital Advances. 

(ii) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Growth Capital Advances are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal, due in connection with the Growth Capital Advances, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (B) the Prepayment Fee, (C) the
Final Payment, and (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder in connection with the Growth Capital Advances. 

(d) Uncommitted Incremental Facility. At any time and from time to time, Borrower may request that Bank provide Borrower with an
additional credit facility pursuant to which Borrower will obtain up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) of additional borrowing availability (the “Incremental Facility”). Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
grant or deny any such request or requests for an Incremental Facility, and furthermore, any approval of any such request for an Incremental Facility shall be on terms and conditions, and subject to execution of an amendment to this Agreement,
acceptable to Bank in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 2.2 Intentionally Omitted. 

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions. 

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under each Growth Capital Advance shall accrue
interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) one percentage point (1.00%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) six percentage points (6.00%), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(d)
below. 
 (b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in
this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank. 

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be
effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change. 
 (d) Payment; Interest
Computation. Interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments
received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded;
provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. 

2.4 Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Bank: 

(a) Final Payment. The Final Payment when due hereunder; 

(b) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, if and when due pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1(c); and 

  
 -2- 













 (c) Bank Expenses/Good Faith Deposit. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Bank); Borrower has paid to Bank a Twenty Thousand Dollars
($20,000) good faith deposit which will be applied to Bank Expenses incurred through the Effective Date. 
 (d) Fees Fully Earned.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement
or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.4 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5(c). Bank shall provide
Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.4. 

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts. 

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or
counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. 

(b) Bank has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied.
Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application
is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. 
 (c) Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated
Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.kendra 

2.6 Withholding. Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for
any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto).
Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank
receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish
Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in
good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.6 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

which have become due. 
  

	 	4	 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 



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

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of
the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first
priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement). 

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity
obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at the sole cost
and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and
(y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank
Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if
such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in
connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. 

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall
at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this
Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds
thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 4.3
Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a
notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, not otherwise permitted under the applicable Loan Documents, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. 

  
 -5- 













 4.4 ULC Shares. Borrower acknowledges that certain of the Collateral may now or in
the future consist of shares of an unlimited liability company (the “ULC Shares”), and that it is the intention of Bank and Borrower that neither Bank nor any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other Affiliate of Bank
should under any circumstances prior to realization thereon be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as applicable, of an unlimited liability company (as organized under the laws of any Province or Territory in Canada, each a
“ULC”) for the purposes of any legislation governing such ULC. Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, where Borrower is the registered owner of ULC
Shares which are Collateral, Borrower will remain the sole registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of Bank or any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other
Affiliate of Bank, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, Borrower shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any cash dividend on or other distribution, if any, in respect of such ULC
Shares (except for any stock dividend or distribution which shall be subject to the security interest created hereunder and to this Section 4.4) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and
policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as Borrower would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to Bank pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall, constitute Bank or any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other Affiliate of Bank, or any other Person other than Borrower, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any legislation governing such ULC
(whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to Borrower and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register Bank or any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other
Affiliate of Bank, or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting Bank, or any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other
Affiliate of Bank as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Collateral without otherwise invalidating or
rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of Bank to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall not cause Bank or any beneficiary, successor in interest, agent or any other Affiliate of Bank to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC;
(b) have any notation entered in their favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC
by reason solely of Bank holding a security interest over the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such ULC or to vote
Borrower’s ULC Shares. 
  

	 	5	 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 



Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization
in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower, entitled “Perfection
Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof;
(b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or
accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its
chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction;
and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in
the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such
occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number. 
  

  
 -6- 













 The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene,
conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected,
(iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or
(v) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a
party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to
grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts
described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith and which Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6(b). The
Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. 
 The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee
(such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection
Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2 
 Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or
purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property
licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the
Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any
part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License. 

5.3 Intentionally Omitted. 

5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened in writing by
or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, [***]. 
 5.5 Financial Statements;
Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank by submission to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial
statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested. 













 5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s consolidated assets
(including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of Borrower’s liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade
debts) as they mature. 
 5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the
Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing,
storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all
Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted. 
 5.8 Subsidiaries;
Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 

5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has
timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently
conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor. 

To the extent Borrower defers payment of any contested taxes, Borrower shall (i) notify Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any
material development in, the proceedings, and (ii) post bonds or take any other steps required to prevent the Governmental Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a
“Permitted Lien.” Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to
fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of
any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 

5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general
business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. 
 5.11 Full Disclosure. No written
representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any report, certificate, or written statement submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement
was made, taken together with all such written reports, written certificates and written statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the reports, certificates, or written statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable
assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results). 

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

maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of
use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, which license rights shall be exercisable only after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in
completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s
benefit; 
 (i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement
order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and 

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the
Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign
Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines
reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign
Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity
Obligations) have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an
interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity Obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates. 

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon
or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by
Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such
insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default. 

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

  
 -17- 













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

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the
party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and
Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 

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

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



Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from
bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in
advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack 

  
 -18- 













 
of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby
waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the
address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or five
(5) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, properly addressed and with proper postage prepaid. 
 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND
ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of
the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties
(or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the
dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant
to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering
temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the
course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for
such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be
conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings
in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision
thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private
judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. 
 This
Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  

	 	12	 GENERAL PROVISIONS 



12.1 Termination; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this
Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. At the time when (i) Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are
to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement) and (ii) Bank has no further obligation to make Credit
Extensions hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate and so long as Borrower complies with clause (i) of this Section, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Growth Capital Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business
Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.
Upon the termination of this Agreement, Bank, at Borrower’s expense, shall execute such documents and take such further steps as Borrower shall request to terminate public filings or otherwise evidence the termination of the security interest
granted to Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

 12.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right,
without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms thereof). 
 12.3
Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless
against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all losses or
expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is
given shall have run. 
 12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement. 

12.5 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the

 12.7 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported
amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party
against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an
amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar
or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents. 

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each
of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. 
 12.9 Confidentiality. In
handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use its best efforts to
obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with
Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a


  
 -20- 













 
confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain
or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Bank in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party, if
Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. 
 Bank Entities may use anonymous forms of
confidential information for aggregate datasets, for analyses or reporting, and for any other uses not expressly prohibited in writing by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 12.10 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of or relating
to the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. 

12.11 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like
import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

12.12 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract. 

12.15 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to
