 PROMISSORY NOTE 
 June 28, 2007  
 (Date) 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Achillion
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a corporation located at the address stated below (“Maker”) promises, jointly and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of General Electric Capital Corporation or any subsequent bolder
hereof (each, a “Payee”) at its office located at 83 Wooster Heights Road, Danbury, CT 06810 or at such other place as Payee or the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum of Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($400,000.00), with interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of Eleven and Fifty Eight Hundredths percent (11.58%) per annum, to be paid in lawful
money of the United States, in Thirty-Six (36) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest as follows: 
  

				
	 Periodic Installment
	  	Amount
	 Thirty-Five (35)
	  	$	13,205.62

 each (“Periodic Installment”) and a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total
outstanding principal and interest. The first Periodic installment shall be due and payable on August 1, 2007 and the following Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each succeeding month
(each, a “Payment Date”). Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be
made on its due date. 
 The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not
constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. 
 The Maker hereby expressly
authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto. 
 This
Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement”). 
 Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment or any other sum due under this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to
the amount of each such installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due
hereunder within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid,
together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent
(18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). 
 Prior to the eighteenth month of this Note, Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder upon payment of the then outstanding gross amount due. Thereafter, Maker may prepay in full, but
not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder upon payment of the entire indebtedness plus an additional sum as a premium equal to the following percentages of the then outstanding principal balance for the indicated period: Following the
eighteenth month but prior to the twenty-fourth monthly payment of this Note: four percent (4%) Thereafter and prior to the thirty-sixth monthly payment of this Note: three percent (3%) Thereafter and prior to the forty-eighth monthly
payment of this Note: two percent (2%) and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or under any Security Agreement. 
 It is the
intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note or any Security Agreement
require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest is 
  







 contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall
be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable
law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to
the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker,
at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is
further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds
the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any
applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful
maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the United States of America. 
 The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such person, other than the Maker, an “Obligor”) who may at any time become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and
all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be
made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to
foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. The Maker and each Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and
all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection,
including Payee’s actual attorneys’ fees. Maker and each Obligor agrees that fees not in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the amount then due shall be deemed reasonable. 
 THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
MAKER AND PAYEE RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL
DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.) THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY
OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
 This Note and any Security Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes all prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied. 
 No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Maker and Payee. Any such waiver,
consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. 
  







 Any provision in this Note or any Security Agreement which is in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule shall
be deemed omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.

principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of Ten and Seventeen Hundredths percent (10.17%) per annum, to be paid in lawful money of the United States, in Forty-Eight
(48) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest as follows: 
  

				
	 Periodic Installment
	  	Amount
	 Forty-Seven (47)
	  	$	3,673.08

outstanding principal and interest. The first Periodic Installment shall be due and payable on 5/1/02 and the following Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each succeeding month (each, a
“Payment Date”). Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its
due date. 
 The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a
waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. 
 The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee
to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto. 
 This Note may be secured
by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement”). 
 Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment or any other sum due under this Note many Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such
installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten
(10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all
accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the
highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). 







 Prior to the eighteenth month of this Note, Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder
upon payment of the then outstanding gross amount due. Thereafter, Maker may prepay in full, but not in pad, its entire Indebtedness hereunder upon payment of the entire indebtedness plus an additional sum as a premium equal to the following
percentages of the then outstanding principal balance for the indicated period: 
 Following the eighteenth month but prior to the twenty-fourth monthly
payment of this Note: four percent (4%) 
 Thereafter and prior to the thirty-sixth monthly payment of this Note: three percent (3%) 
 Thereafter and prior to the forty-eighth monthly payment of this Note: two percent (2%) and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or under any
Security Agreement. 
 It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note or any Security Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any
such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or
received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control,
(b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable
law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the
rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by
Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater
interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by
the amended state law or the law of the United States of America. 







 The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such person, other than the Maker, an
“Obligor”) who may at any time become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of
any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of
them, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. The Maker and each
Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by Law) and diligence in collecting
this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s actual attorneys’ fees. Maker and each Obligor agrees that fees not in excess of twenty
percent (20%) of the amount then due shall be deemed reasonable. 
 THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH
OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.) THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

 This Note and any Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes all
prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied. 
 No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its
provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Maker and Payee. Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose

designate, the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00), with interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of Eleven
and Fifty Six Hundredths percent (11.56%) per annum, to be paid in lawful money of the United States, in Thirty-Six (36) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest as follows: 
  

				
	 Periodic Installment
	  	Amount
	 Thirty-Five (35)
	  	$	81,724.05

 each (“Periodic Installment”) and a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total
outstanding principal and interest. The first Periodic Installment shall be due and payable on June 1, 2006 and the following Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each succeeding month
(each, a “Payment Date”). Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be
made on its due date. 
 The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not
constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. 
 The Maker hereby expressly
authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto. 
 This
Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement”). 
 Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment or any other sum due under this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to
the amount of each such installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due
hereunder within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid,
together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). 







 Prior to the eighteenth month of this Note, Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder
upon payment of the then outstanding gross amount due. Thereafter, Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder upon payment of the entire indebtedness plus an additional sum as a premium equal to the following
percentages of the then outstanding principal balance for the indicated period: 
 Following the eighteenth month but prior to the twenty-fourth monthly
payment of this Note: four percent (4%) 
 Thereafter and prior to the thirty-sixth monthly payment of this Note: three percent (3%) 
 Thereafter and prior to the forty-eighth monthly payment of this Note: two percent (2%) and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or
under any Security Agreement. 
 It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note or any Security Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. If any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest
contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern
and control, (b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall
be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the
rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by
Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater
interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by
the amended state law or the law of the United States of America. 







 The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such person, other than the Maker, an
“Obligor”) who may at any time become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of
any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of
them, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. The Maker and each
Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting
this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s actual attorneys’ fees. Maker and each Obligor agrees that fees not in excess of twenty
percent (20%) of the amount then due shall be deemed reasonable. 
 THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH
OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.) THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

 This Note and any Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes all
prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied. 
 No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its
provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Maker and Payee. Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
given. 







 Any provision in this Note or any Security Agreement which is in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule shall
be deemed omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.

 MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 dated as of January 24, 2002 (“Agreement”) 
 THIS AGREEMENT is

	1.	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. 

 Debtor grants to
Secured Party, its successors and assigns, a security interest in and against all property listed on any collateral schedule now or in the future annexed to or made a part of this Agreement (“Collateral Schedule”), and in and
against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to such property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, and all insurance and/or other proceeds thereof (all such property is individually and collectively called the

not limited to the payment and performance of certain Promissory Notes from time to time identified on any Collateral Schedule (collectively “Notes” and each a “Note”), and any renewals, extensions and modifications
of such debts, obligations and liabilities (such Notes, debts, obligations and liabilities are called the “Indebtedness”). Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, to the extent that Secured Party asserts a purchase money security interest in any items of Collateral (“PMSI Collateral”): (i) the PMSI Collateral shall secure only that portion of the Indebtedness which has been
advanced by Secured Party to enable Debtor to purchase, or acquire rights in or the use of such PMSI Collateral (the “PMSI Indebtedness”), and (ii) no other Collateral shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness.

 (b) Debtor has adequate power and capacity to enter into, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Note and any other documents

of trust, bank loan, credit agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which Debtor is a party; 
 (f) There are no suits or proceedings
pending in court or before any commission, board or other administrative agency against or affecting Debtor which could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Debtor, its business or operations, or its ability to perform its
obligations under the Debt Documents, nor does Debtor have reason to believe that any such suits or proceedings are threatened;

authority to grant the security interest described in this Agreement; and 
 (k) The Collateral is, and will remain, free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, except for (i) liens in favor of Secured Party, (ii) liens for taxes not yet due or for taxes being contested in good faith and which do not involve, in the judgment of Secured Party,
any risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral, and (iii) inchoate materialmen’s, mechanic’s, repairmen’s and similar liens arising by operation of law in the normal course of business for amounts which are not
delinquent (all of such liens are called “Permitted Liens”). 








	3.	COLLATERAL. 

 (a) Until the declaration of any
default, Debtor shall remain in possession of the Collateral; except that Secured Party shall have the right to possess (i) any chattel paper or instrument that constitutes a part of the Collateral, and (ii) any other Collateral in which
Secured Party’s security interest may be perfected only by possession. Secured Party may inspect any of the Collateral during normal business hours after giving Debtor reasonable prior notice. If Secured Party asks, Debtor will promptly notify
Secured Party in writing of the location of any Collateral. 
 (b) Debtor shall (i) use the Collateral only in its trade or business,

Secured Party may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance, insurance and preservation of the Collateral and effect compliance with the terms of
this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with such payment or performance and agrees that such reimbursement obligation
shall constitute Indebtedness. 
 (e) Debtor shall, at all times, keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral, and Secured Party
shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all of Debtor’s books and records relating to the Collateral during normal business hours, after giving Debtor reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Debtor agrees and acknowledges that any third person who may at any time possess all or any portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to hold, and
shall hold, the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Secured Party. Secured Party may at any time give notice to any third person described in the preceding sentence that such third person is holding the Collateral as the agent of,
and as pledge holder for, the Secured Party.

entire risk of any loss, theft, damage to, or destruction of, any of the Collateral from any cause whatsoever.

perils, theft, burglary, and for any or all Collateral which are vehicles, for risk of loss by collision, and if requested by Secured Party, against such other risks as Secured Party may reasonably require. The insurance coverage shall be in an
amount no less than the full replacement value of the Collateral, and deductible amounts, insurers and policies shall be acceptable to Secured Party. Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party policies or certificates of insurance evidencing such
coverage. Each policy shall name Secured Party as a loss payee, shall provide for coverage to Secured Party regardless of the breach by Debtor of any warranty or representation made therein, shall not be subject to co-insurance, and shall provide
that coverage may not be canceled or altered by the insurer except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Secured Party. Debtor appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss, claim for insurance and adjustments
with insurers, and to receive payment of and execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with insurance payments. Secured Party shall not act as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact unless Debtor is in default. Proceeds of insurance
shall be applied, at the option of Secured Party, to repair or replace the Collateral or to reduce any of the Indebtedness. 
  

	5.	REPORTS.

Party of (i) any change in the name of Debtor, (ii) any change in the state of its incorporation or registration, (iii) any relocation of its chief executive offices, (iv) any relocation of any of the Collateral, (v) any of

	6.	FURTHER ASSURANCES. 

 (a) Debtor shall, upon request
of Secured Party, furnish to Secured Party such further information, execute and deliver to Secured Party such documents and instruments (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and shall do such other acts and
things as Secured Party may at any time reasonably request relating to the perfection or protection of the security interest created by this Agreement or for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
Debtor shall cooperate and do all acts deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party to continue in Secured Party a perfected first security interest in the Collateral, and shall obtain and furnish to Secured Party any subordinations, releases,
landlord waivers, lessor waivers, mortgagee waivers, or control agreements, and similar documents as may be from time to time requested by, and in form and substance satisfactory to, Secured Party.

Collateral and containing any other information required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Debtor irrevocably grants to Secured Party the power to sign Debtor’s name and generally to act on behalf of Debtor to execute and file

certificate of title be required or permitted by law for any of the Collateral, obtain and promptly deliver to Secured Party such certificate showing the lien of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral. Debtor ratifies its prior authorization
for Secured Party to file financing statements and amendments thereto describing the Collateral and containing any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code if filed prior to the date hereof. 
 (c) Debtor shall indemnify and defend the Secured Party, its successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers and employees, from and
against all claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation, related attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the Collateral. 
  

	7.	DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. 

 (a) Debtor shall be in
default under this Agreement and each of the other Debt Documents if: 
 (i) Debtor breaches its obligation to pay when due
any installment or other amount due or coming due under any of the Debt Documents; 
 (ii) Debtor, without the prior written
consent of Secured Party, attempts to or does sell, rent, lease, license, mortgage, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer or encumber (except for Permitted Liens) any of the Collateral; 
 (iii) Debtor breaches any of its insurance obligations under Section 4; 
 (iv) Debtor breaches any of its other obligations under any of the Debt Documents and fails to cure that breach within thirty
(30) days after written notice from Secured Party; 
 (v) Any warranty, representation or statement made by Debtor in any
of the Debt Documents or otherwise in connection with any of the Indebtedness shall be false or misleading in any material respect; 
 (vi) Any of the Collateral is subjected to attachment, execution, levy, seizure or confiscation in any legal proceeding or otherwise, or if any legal or administrative proceeding is commenced against Debtor or any of the Collateral, which
in the good faith judgment of Secured Party subjects any of the Collateral to a material risk of attachment, execution, levy, seizure or confiscation and no bond is posted or protective order obtained to negate such risk; 
 (vii) Debtor breaches or is in default under any other agreement between Debtor and Secured Party; 







 (viii) Debtor or any guarantor or other obligor for any of the Indebtedness (collectively
“Guarantor”) dissolves, terminates its existence, becomes insolvent or ceases to do business as a going concern; 
 (ix) If Debtor or any Guarantor is a natural person, Debtor or any such Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent; 
 (x)
A receiver is appointed for all or of any part of the property of Debtor or any Guarantor, or Debtor or any Guarantor makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors; 
 (xi) Debtor or any Guarantor files a petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any such petition is filed against
Debtor or any Guarantor and is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days; or 
 (xii) Debtor’s improper filing of an
amendment or termination statement relating to a filed financing statement describing the Collateral. 
 (b) If Debtor is in default, the
Secured Party, at its option, may declare any or all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice to Debtor or any Guarantor. The accelerated obligations and liabilities shall bear interest (both before and after
any judgment) until paid in full at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate not prohibited by applicable law. 
 (c) After default, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and under any other applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the right to
(i) notify any account debtor of Debtor or any obligor on any instrument which constitutes part of the Collateral to make payment to the Secured Party, (ii) with or without legal process, enter any premises where the Collateral may be and
take possession of and remove the Collateral from the premises or store it on the premises, (iii) sell the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in part, and have the right to bid and purchase at said sale, or (iv) lease or
otherwise dispose of all or part of the Collateral, applying proceeds from such disposition to the obligations then in default. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a
place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Secured Party may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at the Debtor’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without
liability for rent or costs. Any notice that Secured Party is required to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the
Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given to the last known address of Debtor at least five (5) days prior to such action. 
 (d) Proceeds from any sale or lease or other disposition shall be applied: first, to all costs of repossession, storage, and disposition including
without limitation attorneys’, appraisers’, and auctioneers’ fees; second, to discharge the obligations then in default; third, to discharge any other Indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party, whether as obligor, endorser, guarantor,
surety or indemnitor; fourth, to expenses incurred in paying or settling liens and claims against the Collateral; and lastly, to Debtor, if there exists any surplus. Debtor shall remain fully liable for any deficiency. 







 (e) Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by Secured Party in
connection with the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, or if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may be permitted. Debtor further agrees that such fees and costs shall
constitute Indebtedness. 
 (f) Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER
SIGNED BY DEBTOR UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY SECURED PARTY. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. 
 (g) DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING
ESTABLISHED BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN
WRITING. THE WAIVER ALSO SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION.
THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  

	8.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 (a) This Agreement, any Note and/or
any of the other Debt Documents may be assigned, in whole or in part, by Secured Party without notice to Debtor, and Debtor agrees not to assert against any such assignee, or assignee’s assigns, any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or
counterclaim which Debtor has or may at any time have against Secured Party for any reason whatsoever. Debtor agrees that if Debtor receives written notice of an assignment from Secured Party, Debtor will pay all amounts payable under any assigned
Debt Documents to such assignee or as instructed by Secured Party. Debtor also agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party or assignee. 







 (b) All notices to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be addressed to
the parties at their respective addresses set forth in this Agreement (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of receipt if delivered in hand or
by facsimile transmission, (ii) on the next business day after being sent by express mail, and (iii) on the fourth business day after being sent by regular, registered or certified mail. As used herein, the term “business day”
shall mean and include any day other than Saturdays, Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized to be closed. 
 (c) Secured Party may correct patent errors and fill in all blanks in this Agreement or in any Collateral Schedule consistent with the agreement of the parties. 
 (d) Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding, jointly and severally, upon all parties described as the
“Debtor” and their respective heirs, executors, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns. 
 (e) This Agreement and its Collateral Schedules constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement
and supersede all prior understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with respect to such subject matter. THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS COLLATERAL SCHEDULES SHALL NOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED ORALLY OR BY COURSE OF CONDUCT, BUT ONLY BY A WRITING
SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (f) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full to Secured Party or its
assignee. The surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents evidencing any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain the Collateral for such other Indebtedness as may then exist or as
it may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future. This Agreement shall automatically be reinstated if Secured Party is ever required to return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness (all as though such payment had
never been made). 
 (g) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE
EQUIPMENT. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Secured Party, intending to be legally bound hereby, have duly executed
this Agreement one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, as of the day and year first aforesaid.

 The Section
is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor grants to Secured Party, its successors and assigns, a security interest in
and against all property listed on any collateral schedule now or in the future annexed to or made a part of this Agreement (“Collateral Schedule”), and in and against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to such
property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, and all insurance and/or other proceeds thereof (all such property is individually and collectively called the “Collateral”). This security interest is given to secure
the payment and performance of all debts, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever of Debtor to Secured Party, other than any obligations of Debtor to Secured Party in connection with any agreements executed between Secured Party and

time identified on any Collateral Schedule (collectively “Notes” and each a “Note”), and any renewals, extensions and modifications of such debts, obligations and liabilities (such Notes, debts, obligations and
liabilities are called the “Indebtedness”). Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that Secured Party asserts a purchase money security
interest in any items of Collateral (“PMSI Collateral”): (i) the PMSI Collateral shall secure only that portion of the Indebtedness which has been advanced by Secured Party to enable Debtor to purchase, or acquire rights in or
the use of such PMSI Collateral (the “PMSI Indebtedness”), and (ii) no other Collateral shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness.” 
  

	 	2.	REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF DEBTOR. 

 The first sentence of this Section is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor represents, warrants and
covenants as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each Collateral Schedule, unless specifically otherwise disclosed, that:” 







 Subsection (b) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor has adequate power and capacity to enter into, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Note and any other documents
evidencing, or given in connection with, any of the Indebtedness (all of the foregoing, excluding the Warrant, are called the “Debt Documents”);” 
 Subsection (c) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “This Agreement and the other
Debt Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Debtor and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies may be limited under
applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and equitable remedies;” 
  

	 	3.	COLLATERAL. 

 Subsection (a) is hereby
amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Until the occurrence and continuance of any default under Section 7, Debtor shall
remain in possession of the Collateral; except that Secured Party shall have the right to possess (i) any chattel paper or instrument that constitutes a part of the Collateral, and (ii) any other Collateral in which Secured Party’s
security interest may be perfected only by possession. Secured Party may inspect any of the Collateral during normal business hours after giving Debtor reasonable prior notice. If Secured Party asks, Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party in
writing of the location of any Collateral.” 
 Subsection (d) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, license fees, assessments and public and private charges levied or assessed on any of the Collateral,
on its use, or on this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. At its option, Secured Party may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance,
insurance and preservation of the Collateral and effect compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party
in connection with such payment or performance and agrees that such reimbursement obligation shall constitute Indebtedness.” 








	 	7.	DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. 

 Section (a) is hereby
amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement and each of the other Debt Documents if (and
so long as is continuing):” 
 Section (a)(i) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor breaches its obligation to pay when due any installment or other amount due or coming due under any of the Debt Documents unless such failure
to pay on the required due date is as a result of the error or malfunction of any electronic payment system or other system established for the electronic transfer of funds. If the error or malfunction of any electronic payment system or other
system persists for more than three (3) days, Debtor agrees to immediately send payment to Secured Party via wire transfer or overnight mail” 
 Subsection (a)(v) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Any warranty,
representation or statement made by Debtor in any of the Debt Documents or otherwise in connection with any of the Indebtedness shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made;” 
 Subsection (a)(xi) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “Debtor or any Guarantor files a petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any such petition is filed against Debtor or any Guarantor and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or”

 Subsection (c) is hereby amended and replaced with the following: 
 “After default, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and under any other
applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the right to (i) notify any account debtor of Debtor or any obligor on any instrument which constitutes part of the Collateral to make payment to the Secured Party,
(ii) with or without legal process, enter any premises where the Collateral may be and take possession of and remove the Collateral from the premises or store it on the premises, (iii) sell 








 
the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in part, and have the right to bid and purchase at said sale, or (iv) lease or otherwise dispose
of all or part of the Collateral, applying proceeds from such disposition to the obligations then in default. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be
designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Secured Party may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at the Debtor’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for
rent or costs. Any notice that Secured Party is required to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be
made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given to the last known address of Debtor at least ten (10) days prior to such action.” 
  

	 	8.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 Section (b) is hereby
amended and replaced with the following: 
 “All notices to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be
addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth in this Agreement (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of receipt if delivered
in hand or by facsimile transmission, (ii) on the next business day after being sent by express mail, and (iii) on the fourth business day after being sent by regular, registered or certified mail. As used herein, the term “business
day” shall mean and include any day other than Saturdays, Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New Haven, Connecticut are required or authorized to be closed.” 
 TERMS USED, BUT NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN THE AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AMENDED HEREBY, THE AGREEMENT
SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. IF THERE IS ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT AND THIS AMENDMENT, THEN THIS AMENDMENT SHALL CONTROL.
