CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE (I) IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) THE
REGISTRANT CUSTOMARILY AND ACTUALLY TREATS THE INFORMATION AS PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. 
 LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this
“Agreement”) dated as of October 8, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) is entered into among CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE (“Bank”), MINERVA SURGICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Borrower Representative”, and together with each Person party hereto as a borrower from time to time, collectively, “Borrowers”, and each, a “Borrower”) and each other Borrower from time to time
party hereto. 
 AGREEMENT 

The parties hereby agree as follows: 

1.    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS 

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, and calculations and determinations shall be made
following GAAP, consistently applied, except with respect to unaudited financial statements (i) for non-compliance with FAS 123R and (ii) for the absence of footnotes and subject to year-end audit adjustments; provided that all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and covenants for purposes of this Agreement
(provided that financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP) whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date, notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a
prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in accordance with GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A. All other terms
contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. As used in the Loan Documents, the word “shall” is mandatory, the word “may” is
permissive, the word “or” is not exclusive, the words “includes” and “including” are not limiting, the singular includes the plural, and numbers denoting amounts that are set off in brackets are negative. Unless
otherwise specified, all references in this Agreement or any Annex or Schedule hereto to a “Section,” “subsection,” “Exhibit,” “Annex,” or “Schedule” shall refer to the corresponding Section,
subsection, Exhibit, Annex, or Schedule in or to this Agreement. For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to a Person’s knowledge or awareness, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after
reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer of such Person. 
 2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 2.1    Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding
principal amount of all Credit Extensions, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 

2.2    [Reserved.] 

2.3    Term Loan. 

(a)    Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make to Borrowers an
advance on the Closing Date in principal amount equal to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (the “Term Loan”). Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate upon the making of the Term Loan on the Closing Date. Borrowers
shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan for working capital and general corporate purposes and to repay existing outstanding Indebtedness of Borrower Representative owing to Ares Capital Corporation (and its affiliated investment funds). Once
repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. 
 (b)    Repayment. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and
continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive month through the Term Loan Maturity Date, Borrowers shall make consecutive monthly payments of equal principal, which would fully amortize the principal amount of the Term Loan by the Term
Loan Maturity Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Any and all unpaid Obligations, including principal and any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan, other fees and other sums, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the
Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.3(c) and 2.3(d). 

  
 1 














 (c)    Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Term
Loan is accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of: 

(i)    all outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest, plus 

(ii)    the Prepayment Fee, plus 

(iii)    all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate or any
late fee, if applicable. 
 (d)    Permitted Prepayment of Term Loan. Borrowers shall have the option to prepay
the Term Loan, in whole or in part, provided that any partial prepayment shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000, provided further, that Borrowers shall have provided written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least 5
days prior to such prepayment, and pay, on the date of such prepayment an amount equal to the sum of: 
 (i)    the
outstanding principal being prepaid plus any accrued and unpaid interest, plus 
 (ii)    the Prepayment Fee, plus 

(iii)    all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate or any
late fee, if applicable. 
 Any notice of prepayment may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of any refinancing, incurrence
of debt or occurrence of any other event and may be revoked by Borrowers in the event such contingency is not met. 

2.4    Bank Services. At a Borrower’s request, Bank may make available certain Bank Services from time
to time, including without limitation any commercial credit card program offered through US Bank National Association, Canada Branch (the “Credit Card Facility”), and all such Bank Services shall constitute Obligations secured by
the Collateral. The terms and conditions of the Credit Card Facility shall be set forth in Bank’s standard US Bank Canada Commercial Card Acknowledgement and Indemnity Agreement, which shall be entered into by the applicable Borrower as a
condition to the Credit Card Facility. Each Borrower agrees to pay amounts due pursuant to the Credit Card Facility on demand by Bank, and acknowledges that the Credit Card Facility may be terminated at any time upon notice by Bank. 

2.5    Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions. 

(a)    Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.5(b), the outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loan shall accrue interest from and after its Funding Date, at a floating rate equal to 2.5% above the Prime Rate, and Borrowers shall pay such interest monthly in arrears on the first day of each month. 

(b)    Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers 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 2.5(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)    Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears and shall be computed on the basis of
a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day shall be deemed received at the
opening of business on the following Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. 

  
 2 














 (d)    Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable
hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Borrower has actually paid to Bank an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations
had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Credit Extensions; second, after all principal is
repaid, to the payment of Bank’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Obligations; and third, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers. 

(e)    Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate applicable to Credit Extensions 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. 

2.6    Fees and Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Bank: 

(a)    Structuring Fee. A structuring fee in the amount of $400,000; 

(b)    Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee as and when due pursuant to Sections 2.3(c) and 2.3(d).
Each Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Fee is a reasonable calculation of Bank’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Term Loan. 

(c)    Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation
and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within two Business Days after written demand by Bank), provided that the good faith deposit paid prior
to the Closing Date in the amount of $40,000 shall be applied to Bank Expenses due on the Closing Date. 
 Unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, the fees specified this Section 2.6 are fully-earned as of the Closing Date, and in no event shall any Borrower be entitled to any credit, rebate, refund, reduction, proration or
repayment of any fees or charges 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 and notwithstanding the
required payment date for such fees or charges. 
 2.7    Payments; Credits; Application of Payments. 

(a)    All payments to be made by Borrowers under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest and all
fees, charges, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim (except as set forth in Section 2.8), before 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date when
due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern 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. Unless otherwise notified by Bank in writing, Bank shall initiate debit entries to any Deposit Accounts as authorized on the Debit Authorization
for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrowers owe Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off. If the Debit Authorization arrangement is terminated for any reason, Borrowers
shall promptly deliver a new Debit Authorization with respect to another Deposit Account of a Borrower and until such new Debit Authorization is effective, shall make all payments due to Bank at Bank’s address specified in
Section 10, or as otherwise notified by Bank in writing. Except to the extent otherwise requested in writing by Borrower, including pursuant to any disbursement letter or other request for credit extensions, any amounts to
be funded or otherwise paid by Bank to a Borrower may be credited in accordance with the Credit Authorization. 

(b)    No Borrower shall have a right to specify the order or the loan accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any
payments made by a Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  
 3 














 2.8    Taxes. 

(a)    Except as required by applicable law, payments received by Bank from the Loan Parties under this Agreement will be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. However, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires any Loan Party (as determined in the good faith discretion by any
Loan Party) to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, then (i) the applicable Loan Party shall withhold or make such deductions as such Loan Party determines to be required, (ii) the
applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall 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 that Bank would have received had no withholding or deduction been required. The Loan Parties shall, upon written request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that the Loan Parties have made such
withholding payment. The agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties and Bank contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and shall apply to any successor, assignee or participant (or
other transferee) of Bank or any Loan Party as of the date such Person becomes party to, or otherwise obligated under, this Agreement, provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this
Section 2.8(a) with respect to any participation than the participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs
after the participant acquired the applicable participation. For purposes of this Section 2.8, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

(b)    To the extent Bank is entitled to an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments
made under the Loan Documents, Bank shall, from time to time, as reasonably requested by any Loan Party, provide such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Loan Party as will permit such payment to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Bank shall, if reasonably requested by any Loan Party, deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party as will enable such
Loan Party to determine whether or not Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.8(c)(i), (c)(ii)(A), (c)(ii)(B), (c)(ii)(C), (c)(ii)(D), and 2.8(e) below) shall not be required if in Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Bank. Each Person that becomes a successor, assignee or participant (or other transferee) of
Bank pursuant to Section 12.2 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to Sections 2.8(b), 2.8(c), 2.8(d), and 2.8(e), as
applicable, as if it were “Bank” (it being understood that in the case of a participation, the participant may deliver such forms and statements to Bank). 

(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall deliver to each Loan Party on the date of this Agreement (and thereafter
as reasonably requested by a Loan Party): 
 (i)    If Bank is a U.S. Person, Bank shall deliver, on or prior to the
date on which it becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of a Loan Party), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (ii)    If Bank is not a U.S. Person, Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower), whichever of the
following is applicable to it: 
 (A)    in the case it claims the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or
W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(B)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  
 4 














 (C)    in the case it claims the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that it is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable; or 

(D)    to the extent it is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; 

(iii)    Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit a Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made. 
 (d)    Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Loan Parties in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(e)    If a payment made to Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), Bank shall deliver to Loan Parties at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Loan
Party as may be necessary for such Loan Party to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Bank has complied with Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this subsection (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(f)    Without duplication of the Loan Parties’ obligations under Section 2.8(a), each Loan
Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Bank, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by or required to be withheld or deducted from a
payment to Bank and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(g)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section 2.8, such Loan Party shall deliver to Bank the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (if any) or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

 (h)    If Bank receives a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or amounts with
respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8, it shall pay to Borrower Representative an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by a Borrower under this Section 2.8 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Bank, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of Bank,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Bank in the event Bank is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

3.3    Covenant to Deliver. 

(a)    Borrowers agree to deliver to Bank each item required to be delivered to Bank under this Agreement as a condition
precedent to any Credit Extension. Each Borrower expressly agrees that a Credit Extension made prior to the receipt by Bank of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Bank of any Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and the making

 (b)    Each
Borrower agrees to deliver the items set forth on Schedule 1 hereto within the timeframe set forth therein (or by such other date as Bank may approve in writing), in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Bank. 

4.    CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST  

4.1    Grant of Security Interest. Each 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. If this Agreement is terminated,
Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) are repaid in full in cash. 

4.2    Priority of Security Interest. Each 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). If a Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a potential recovery in
excess of $250,000, such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in writing and deliver such other information and documents as Bank may require to perfect Bank’s security interest in such commercial tort claim. If a Borrower shall acquire a
certificate with respect to Shares or any instrument, such Borrower shall promptly notify Bank and deliver the same together with a stock power or instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form satisfactory to Bank. 

4.3    Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file at any time

other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date or as from time to time required pursuant to this Agreement, any certificates evidencing the Shares shall be delivered to Bank,
accompanied by a stock power or other appropriate instrument of assignment duly executed in blank. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, the applicable Borrower shall cause the books of the issuer of such Shares
and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Equity Interests in which it has an
interest and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be 

  
 7 














 
inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications
shall terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

any material agreement by which such Loan Party is bound. No Loan Party is 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. 

5.2    Collateral. 

(a)    Each Loan Party has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it

Account Debtors. 
 (c)    The Collateral is located only at the locations identified in the Perfection Certificate and
other locations which are either subject to a Collateral Access Agreement or constitute Excluded Locations. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except Excluded Locations or as otherwise provided in
the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed in writing pursuant to Section 6.12.

shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $50,000. No Borrower is aware of any claims or adjustments

Board. 
 (c)    No Loan Party has taken or permitted to be taken any action which could reasonably be expected to cause
any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. Neither the making of the Credit Extensions by the Banks hereunder nor any Borrower’s use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended,

Requirement of Law applicable to Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption (collectively “Anti-Corruption Laws”), and each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, directors
and officers and to the knowledge of Borrowers, any employees and agents of such Loan Party or Subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects, with Anti-Corruption Laws. 

(e)    No Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA has occurred or to any Loan Party’s
knowledge is reasonably expected to occur, and no Loan Party has failed to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. No Loan Party has violated any applicable environmental laws in any material

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened in writing, that may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, rescission or any adverse modification
of any of any Governmental Approval nor, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of such Loan Party, after due inquiry, are there any facts upon which proceedings could reasonably be based, except, in each case, as could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrowers represent as follows as of each Credit Extension

9.    BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

9.1    Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may,
without notice or demand, do any or all of the following: 
 (a)    declare all Obligations immediately due and payable
(but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); 

(b)    stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other
agreement between any Loan Party and Bank; 
 (c)    (i) demand that Borrowers deposit cash with Bank as collateral
security for the repayment of any future drawings under any Letters of Credit and pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letter of Credit, (ii) terminate any other bank services
provided by Bank for any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof; 
 (d)    verify the amount of, demand payment of and
performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing a Borrower money
of Bank’s security interest in such funds; 
 (e)    make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and
occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies; 
 (f)    apply to the
Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower; 

  
 20 














 (g)    ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, 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, a 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, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, a Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; 

(h)    place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any
entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 

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

(j)    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. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s partners,
managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Bank’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral; (b) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment
or security; (c) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (d) settle
and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (f) 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; (g) transfer the Collateral into the name of
Bank or a third party as the Code permits; and (h) dispose of the Collateral. Each Borrower further hereby appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing to: (i) sign such Borrower’s name on any documents and other
Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Bank’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) execute and do all such assurances, acts and things which such Borrower is required, but
fails to do under the covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents; and (iii) take any and all such actions as Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral
or any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Bank’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an
interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) have been fully repaid, in cash, and otherwise fully performed and Bank is under no
further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. 
 9.3    Protective Payments. If a 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 such 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 Representative 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 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 Borrowers by credit to the Deposit Account designated by Borrowers or to other Persons legally entitled thereto. Borrowers shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, directly


  
 21 














 
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. 

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. Borrowers bear 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 each 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. Each Borrower waives presentment, 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 or chattel paper. 

9.8    Shares. Each Borrower recognizes that Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be
obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Bank shall be under no obligation
to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree
to do so. 
 10.    NOTICES

 11.    CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Borrower hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, City of New York, New
York; 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. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may
have based upon lack 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. Each 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 such Borrower at the address set forth in, or
subsequently provided by such Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrowers’ actual receipt thereof or three days after deposit in the
U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives any claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern this Agreement. 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH 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 THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM BANK UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 
 This Section 11 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

 12.    GENERAL PROVISIONS 

12.1    Termination Prior to Maturity; 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 (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations
which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied in full, in cash and Bank no longer has any obligation under this Agreement to extend credit to a Borrower. So long as Borrowers have satisfied the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), and all Bank Services
which are to survive the termination of this Agreement have been cash collateralized, as required by Bank, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the maturity of all Credit Extensions outstanding by Borrowers, effective three Business Days after
written notice of termination is given to Bank by Borrower Representative; provided that any notice of termination may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of any refinancing, incurrence of debt or occurrence of any
other event and may be revoked by Borrowers in the event such contingency is not met. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this
Agreement’s termination. 
 12.2    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Except in a transaction permitted by Section 7.3, no Borrower may 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 any 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. Bank, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each assignment or other transfer delivered to it and any Transfer Certificate completed
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees(s), transferee(s), participant(s) or other recipient(s) and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Credit Extensions owing to, each
such assignee, transferee, participant or other recipient pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers and Bank shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower Representative, Bank and any assignee, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 12.2 shall be construed so that the Credit Extensions are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of
Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under the IRC.. 

12.3    Indemnification. Each 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 (including such claims,
costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort) (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 among Bank and Borrowers
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or with respect to Taxes, as set forth in
Section 2.8. This Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any
non-Tax claim. 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    Borrower Liability. If any Person is joined to this Agreement as a Borrower, the following
provisions shall apply: Either Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions
hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which such Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all
Credit Extensions. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person;
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at
law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) 

  
 24

for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment
made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any
payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 

12.5    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

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

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 among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents. 

12.9    Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Documents. This Agreement and each other Loan Document (except
as expressly otherwise specified therein) 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.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (including in “.pdf” format) 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. 

12.10    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, that prior to such disclosure Bank shall obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the
terms of this provision or otherwise ensure such Person is subject to confidentiality provisions at least as protective for Borrowers as this Agreement in all material respects); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and
in connection with reporting obligations applicable to Bank, including pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (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 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 a Borrower’s name and logo, and include a brief description of the relationship among Borrowers and Bank, in Bank’s marketing materials. Bank may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and
market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution, and Bank has ownership of the information and analysis so developed. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

and agrees that (a) Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any
such document executed by Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by Bank hereunder to Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (c) the Bank shall

the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Agreement requires any Borrower to interact in any manner with Bank, such Borrower shall do so through Borrower Representative.

the interpretation of this Agreement.
