During the term of this Agreement, Borrower, subject to the subordination set forth above, has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in and to its respective interests in the Collateral to Lender in

 2 













 
such as may exist or as may have been filed in favor of Lender. Borrower will defend Lender’s right, title and special property and security interest in and to the Collateral against the

that it is required to file and has paid all taxes which have become due pursuant to such returns or to any notice of assessment received by Borrower, and Borrower has no knowledge of any basis for additional assessment with respect to such taxes.

 8.        Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events
(“Events of Default”) shall constitute a default under this Agreement and, at the option of Lender, shall make all obligations of Borrower to Lender under or in respect of advances and all other sums outstanding under or in
respect of this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required under this Agreement immediately due and payable, without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or
demand of any kind or character: 
 8.1    Borrower fails to pay any installments as required by the
Note, which failure to pay is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice of such failure is given to Borrower as provided in the Note;

 10.        Miscellaneous. 

10.1    Assignment. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their
respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower shall not assign this Agreement or any of the rights, duties or obligations of Borrower hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender shall have the right to assign
this Agreement without the consent of Borrower. 
 10.2    Consent and Waiver. No consent or
waiver under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing. No waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any breach or default thereafter occurring. 

7.1      Merger. This Agreement and any instrument or agreement attached hereto or
referred to herein integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings in respect to the subject matter hereof. 

10.3    Purpose. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain
obligations, rights and duties of Borrower and Lender in connection with the Loan. After the execution of this Agreement, it shall be deemed a supplement to the Loan Documents and shall not be 

  
 4 













 
construed as a modification of any of the Loan Documents, except as provided herein. It is made for the sole protection of Borrower and Lender, and Borrower’s and Lender’s successors
and assigns. No other person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof. 

10.4    Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against, and hold Lender harmless from any and
all losses, damages (whether general, punitive or otherwise), liabilities, claims, cause of action (whether legal, equitable or administrative), judgments, court costs and legal or other expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which Lender may
suffer or incur as a direct or indirect consequence of: 
 i.         any
claim or cause of action of any kind by any person to the effect that Lender is in any way responsible or liable for any act or omission by Borrower, whether on account of any theory or derivative liability or otherwise, including, but not limited
to, any claim or cause of action for fraud, misrepresentation, tort or willful misconduct; 

ii.         any claim or cause of action by any person against Lender, as a
result of this Agreement; and 
 iii.        any claim or cause of action of any
kind by any person which would have the effect of denying Lender the full benefit or portion of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

The Lender’s rights of indemnity shall not be directly or indirectly limited, prejudiced, impaired or eliminated in any
way by any finding or allegation that Lender’s conduct is active, passive or subject to any other classification or that Lender is directly or indirectly responsible under any theory of any kind, character or nature for any act or omission by
Borrower or any other person, except Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender with respect to any intentional tort or act of gross negligence which Lender is determined by the judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) to have committed. Borrower shall pay any indebtedness arising under said indemnity to Lender immediately upon demand by Lender together with interest thereon from the date such indebtedness
arises until paid at the default rate. 
 10.5    Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action is
necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable expert witness fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which that
party may be entitled. 
 10.6    Interpretation; Venue. Prior to the execution of this
Agreement, each of the Parties has had an opportunity to review the provisions of this Agreement, and contribute to the content hereof, and have consulted with legal counsel of that Party’s own choosing or have chosen not to do so of that
Party’s own volition. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to give effect to their fair meaning and shall be construed as though prepared by Borrower and Lender, respectively. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect
the validity of any other provision. Section headings are for convenience only and may not be used in interpretations. All interpretations are to be made in accordance with California law. The venue for any legal action arising out of this Agreement
shall lie in Los Angeles County, California. 
 10.7    Agreement in Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties may also deliver executed copies of this Agreement to each other by
electronic transmission, which electronically transmitted signatures shall be binding. Any electronically delivered signatures shall be followed by the delivery of executed originals.
