 THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) dated as of February 6, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and MINDSPEED TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows: 
 1    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS 
 Accounting
terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. 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. 
 2    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 
 2.1 Promise
to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 

2.1.1 Revolving Advances. 
 (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and, prior to the
Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein. Each Advance shall be (x) in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or in any integral multiple of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof or (y) in an amount equal to the full remaining Availability Amount. 
 (b)
Termination or Reduction; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be
immediately due and payable. On and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to Bank, to terminate the Revolving Line or, from time to time, to
reduce the amount of the Revolving Line; provided, that no such termination or reduction of the Revolving Line shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Advances made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate
outstanding amount of Advances would exceed the Revolving Line. Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or in any integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in excess thereof;
provided further, if in connection with any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Line a LIBOR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant
to Section 3.7(a). 
 2.1.2 Term Loan. 
 (a) Availability. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrower in an amount equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) on the Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement. 
 (b) Repayment. Borrower shall repay the Term Loan
in quarterly installments of principal equal to the Applicable Term Loan Principal Payment Amount (each a “Term Loan Payment”), beginning on March 31, 2013 and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter.
Borrower’s final Term Loan Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan. Once repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. 







 (c) Prepayment upon Event of Default. If the Term Loan is accelerated following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal of the Term Loan plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date,
(ii) the Prepayment Fee (if applicable), plus (iii) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Bank Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. 

(d) Permitted Prepayment of Term Loan. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan, provided
Borrower (i) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay all or a portion of such Term Loan at least five (5) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Bank on the date of such prepayment, an amount equal
to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loan elected to be prepaid plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Prepayment Fee, if applicable, plus (C) all other sums, that shall have become due
and payable, including Bank Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. 

2.1.3 General Provisions Relating to the Loans. Each Loan shall, at Borrower’s option in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, be either in the form of a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan; provided that in no event shall Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR Loans having more than five (5) different Interest Periods. Borrower shall pay interest
accrued on the Loans at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 2.3. 
 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any
time, the outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess. 

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions. 
 (a) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Credit Extensions and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of such Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is
repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. 
 (b)
Loans. Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin or the LIBOR
Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, as the case may be. On and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the Effective
Amount of such LIBOR Loan shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus two percent (2.00%). Pursuant to the terms hereof,
interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Loan so prepaid and upon payment (including
prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date (as applicable). 

(c) Default Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(b), after an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear
interest two percent (2.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.3(c) 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. 
 (d) Base Rate Loans. Each change in the interest rate of the Base Rate Loans based on changes in the Base Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such
change. Bank shall use its best efforts to give Borrower prompt notice of any such change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that any failure by Bank to provide Borrower with notice hereunder shall not affect Bank’s right to make
changes in the interest rate of the Base Rate Loans based on changes in the Base Rate. 

  
 2 








 (e) LIBOR Loans. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Loan shall be determined
in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date
applicable to such LIBOR Loan. 
 (f) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including
the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments when due, or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank, when due. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower after it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not constitute a
set-off. 
 2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank: 

(a) Fees. All fees as set forth in the Fee Letter; 
 (b) Unused Fee. A fee (the “Unused Fee”), payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to the Applicable Unused Fee Percentage per annum of the
average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the
Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder; 
 (c) Prepayment
Fee. The Prepayment Fee, if and when due pursuant to Sections 2.1.2(c) or 2.1.2(d); and 
 (d) Bank Expenses. All
Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of the Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due. 

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments. 
 (a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m.
Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. 
 (b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Revolving Line or credit such collected funds to a depository account of Borrower
with Bank (or an account maintained by an Affiliate of Bank), the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of Bank. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any
payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

 (m) the Specified Merger Agreement
Representations and the Specified Representations shall be true, accurate, and complete in all material respects on the date of the Notice of Borrowing and on the Funding Date of the initial Credit Extension; provided, however, that such materiality

expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date; and 
 (c)
in Bank’s sole but reasonable discretion, there has not been a Material Adverse Change. 
 3.3 Covenant to
Deliver. Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank each item required to be delivered to Bank under this Agreement as a condition precedent to any Credit Extension. 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 Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and the making of any Credit Extension in the absence of a required item shall be in Bank’s sole discretion. 

3.4 Procedure for the Borrowing of Loans. 
 (a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Loan set forth in this Agreement, each Loan shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice
(provided that the initial Credit Extension hereunder may be contingent upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) delivered to Bank in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, each executed by a Responsible Officer of
Borrower or his or her designee or without instructions if the Loans are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.
Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. Pacific
time, (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying:

 (1) the amount of the Loan, which, if a LIBOR Loan is requested, shall be in (x) an aggregate minimum principal amount
of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or in any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof; or (y) an amount equal to the full remaining Availability Amount; 

(2) the requested Funding Date; 
 (3) whether the Loan is to be comprised of LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans; and 

(4) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Loans included in such notice; provided that if the Notice of
Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Loan comprised of LIBOR Loans, such Interest Period shall be one (1) month. 
 (b) The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to Borrower on the Funding Date by Bank by transfer to the Designated Deposit Account and, subsequently, by wire transfer to such other
account as Borrower may instruct in the Notice of Borrowing. No Loans shall be deemed made to Borrower, and no interest shall accrue on any such Loan, until the related funds have been deposited in the Designated Deposit Account. 

3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections. 
 (a) So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary
procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Loans, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank: 

  
 5 








 (1) elect to convert on any Business Day, Base Rate Loans (in a principal amount equal to
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof) into LIBOR Loans; 
 (2) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any
integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof); or 
 (3) elect to convert on any Interest
Payment Date any LIBOR Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof) into Base
Rate Loans. 
 provided, that the minimum increment requirements set forth above shall not apply to the conversion or continuation of any Loans
that did not meet the minimum increment required when borrowed pursuant to Section 2.1.1. 
 (b) Borrower shall deliver a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10 to be received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. Pacific time at least (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Loans are to be
converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans; and (ii) one (1) Business Day in Loan of the Conversion Date, if any Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, in each case specifying the: 

(1) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date; 
 (2) aggregate amount of the Loans to be converted or continued which, if any Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or in any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof; 
 (3)
nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and 
 (4) duration of the requested Interest Period, in the case of LIBOR
Loans. 
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall have timely failed to
select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. 
 (d) Any LIBOR Loans shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Base Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default shall exist, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Base Rate
Loans which have been previously converted to LIBOR Loans, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the
Revolving Line. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including
loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund
any LIBOR Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Loans. 
 3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans. 
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Loans as to the matters covered: 

  
 6 








 (a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each
Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Loans for which an interest
rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower. 
 (b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any
Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Loan, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loan on the basis
provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Loans until such
time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Loans in respect of which such
determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Loans referred to therein as Base Rate Loans. 
 (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing
such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any, that are customarily allocated to borrowers in the U.S. bank lending markets (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry
its LIBOR Loans and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank
to fund LIBOR Loans due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e)) a borrowing of or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan. 

(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under
Section 3.4 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the
amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the
purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4. 
 (e) LIBOR Loans After
Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Loan be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for
such Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by
Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Loans referred to therein as Base Rate Loans. 
 3.7 Additional
Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Loans. 
 (a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or
acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Bank and, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the amount of interest
which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Bank would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London
interbank market. A certificate of Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any amount or amounts that Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower


  
 7 








 
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. 

(b) Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it
for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which: 
 (i) changes the
basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal
office); 
 (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit
or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or 
 (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). 
 Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge
thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7. Determinations and
allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Loans, of making or maintaining Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of
the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a
“Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of
Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(c) and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Loans for periods equal to
the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Loans, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to
Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make such LIBOR Loans shall terminate; provided, however, Loans shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR
Loans. 
 (e) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loans, or to perform its obligations
hereunder, upon demand by Bank, any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Loan then being requested by
Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by
giving notice (by facsimile or by 

  
 8 








 
telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Base Rate Loan or to have outstanding Loans converted into or continued as Base Rate Loans by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which
Bank gives notice of its determination as described above. 
 4    CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

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

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

Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and Bank Services that
have been cash secured) are satisfied in full, and at such time, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral
for any outstanding Bank Services acceptable to Bank in its reasonable business judgment consistent with Bank’s then current practice for such Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit,
Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection
therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Borrower in a transaction
permitted by this Agreement, then such Collateral shall be deemed released from the security interest granted herein. Bank, at the request and sole expense of Borrower, shall execute and deliver to Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably
necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on any Collateral released pursuant to this Section. 

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein
is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement) to the extent that the security
interest in the Collateral can be perfected by the taking of the actions required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that until the date that is forty five (45) days after the Effective Date or as is otherwise
specified in the Postclosing Letter, the foregoing representation, warranty and covenant with respect to the perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein shall only apply to the extent that the security interest in the Collateral
can be perfected by (i) the filing of a financing statement pursuant to the Code, (ii) the possession of the certificated securities, if any, evidencing the capital stock of or other equity interests issued by the Material Domestic
Subsidiaries of Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor or (iii) Bank having control over Collateral Accounts maintained at Bank. If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim having a potential value in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement,
with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 4.3 Authorization to File Financing
Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of
the Collateral (other than Collateral subject to Permitted

Liens having priority over the Lien granted hereunder), by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. 

5    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
 5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. 
 (a) Each Credit
Party is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership

any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (vi) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being
understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a
Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number. 

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not
(i) conflict with any of Borrower’s Operating Documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ,

default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
Borrower’s business. 
 5.2 Collateral. 
 (a) Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted

 10 









 
therein. (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to
Bank by Borrower as such). The Eligible Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. 
 (c) No portion of
the Collateral with a value in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) is in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate or as otherwise disclosed to Bank

(a) licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business or that are otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) Intellectual

material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party
except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 

(e) Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate or as otherwise disclosed to Bank in writing, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it
bound by, any Restricted License. 
 5.3 Accounts Receivable; Inventory. For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing
Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct in all material respects and all such invoices, instruments
and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally. 

5.4 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate or as otherwise disclosed pursuant to
Section 6.2(h), there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in a liability to
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). 

5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its
Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s

 5.6
Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s, Guarantors’ and their Subsidiaries assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs), taken as a whole (giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement), exceed the fair value of their liabilities; Borrower, Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), are not left with unreasonably small capital
after giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement; and Borrower, Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement), are able to pay their debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

 5.7 Regulatory Compliance. 

(a) Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.

 (b) Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or
assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. 

5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for
Permitted Investments. 
 5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all
required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all material foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower
(a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings,
(c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any
claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could reasonably be expected to result in additional material taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present
pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event
with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 

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

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

prohibiting a Credit Party or any if its Subsidiaries from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon, or encumbering any of a Credit Party’s or any of its Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property, except as is
otherwise permitted in Section 7.1 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Liens” herein.

repurchase does not exceed in the aggregate of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per fiscal year; or (b) directly or indirectly make any Investment other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so. For
the avoidance of doubt, any reference to “capital stock” in this Agreement shall not include any Indebtedness convertible into equity securities of the Borrower. 
 7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for (a) transactions that are in
the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person, (b) transactions permitted pursuant
to the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, (c) transactions that are approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Borrower’s Board of Directors; and (d) transactions with Subsidiaries that (i) are not otherwise
prohibited under any other provision of this Agreement, (ii) would not be an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement and (iii) would not, with the passage of time or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default under any
other provision of this Agreement. 
 7.9 Subordinated Debt. (a) Make or permit any payment on any
Subordinated Debt, except as permitted under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject, or (b) amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt
which would increase the amount thereof or adversely affect the subordination thereof to Obligations owed to Bank. 

7.10 Compliance. Become an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company”,
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or undertake as one of its important activities extending credit to purchase or carry margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or use the
proceeds of any Credit Extension for that purpose; fail to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act
or violate any other law or regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so; withdraw or permit any Subsidiary to withdraw from
participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any
liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 
 8    EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 Any one of the following
shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement: 
 8.1 Payment
Default. Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations (other than Bank Expenses) within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations
are due and payable (which three (3) Business Day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the Revolving Line Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date) (c) pay any Bank Expenses incurred through the Effective Date on the date the
initial Credit Extension is made or (d) pay any Bank Expenses due after the Effective Date within fifteen (15) days after invoicing. During the cure period, the failure to make or 

  
 18 









 
pay any payment specified under clause (a) or (b) hereunder is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period); 

8.2 Covenant Default. 
 (a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7 or violates any covenant in Section 7; or 

(b) Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days
after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is
likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the
default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period). Cure periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth
in clause (a) above; 
 8.3 Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs; 

8.4 Attachment; Levy; Restraint on Business. 
 (a) (i) The service of process seeking to attach, by trustee or similar process, any funds of Borrower or of any entity under the control of Borrower (including a Subsidiary) on deposit or otherwise
maintained with Bank or any Bank Affiliate, or (ii) a notice of lien or levy is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency, and the same under subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof are not, within ten (10) days
after the occurrence thereof, discharged or stayed (whether through the posting of a bond or otherwise); provided, however, no Credit Extensions shall be made during any ten (10) day cure period; or 

(b) (i) any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver,
or (ii) any court order enjoins, restrains, or prevents Borrower from conducting any material part of its business; 

8.5 Insolvency (a) Borrower is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due or otherwise becomes
insolvent (b) Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the
conditions described in clause (a) exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed); 
 8.6 Other
Agreements. There is, under any agreement to which Borrower or any Guarantor is a party with a third party or parties, (a) any default resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity
of any Indebtedness in an amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); or (b) any default by Borrower or Guarantor , the result of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 
 8.7 Judgments. One or more final judgments,
orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such
insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and the same are not, within ten (10) days after the entry thereof, discharged or execution thereof stayed or bonded pending appeal, or such judgments are not discharged prior to the
expiration of any such stay (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the discharge, stay, or bonding of such judgment, order, or decree); 

  
 19 









 8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any
representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement
is incorrect in any material respect when made; 
 8.9 Subordinated Debt. A default or breach occurs under any
agreement between Borrower and any creditor of Borrower owed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more that signed a subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement with Bank, where any such default or breach entitles the creditor party
thereto to accelerate the obligations that are the subject of any such agreement or any creditor that has signed such an agreement with Bank breaches any terms of such agreement; 

8.10 Guaranty. (a) Any guaranty of any Obligations terminates or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect;
(b) any Guarantor does not perform any obligation or covenant under any guaranty of the Obligations; (c) any circumstance described in Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.7, or 8.8 occurs with respect to any Guarantor; or 

8.11 Governmental Approvals. Any Governmental Approval shall have been (a) revoked, rescinded, suspended, modified in
an adverse manner or not renewed in the ordinary course for a full term or (b) subject to any decision by a Governmental Authority that designates a hearing with respect to any applications for renewal of any of such Governmental Approval or
that could reasonably be expected to result in the Governmental Authority taking any of the actions described in clause (a) above, and such decision or such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal (i) has, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Change, or (ii) adversely affects the legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold such Governmental Approval in any applicable jurisdiction and such revocation,
rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal could reasonably be expected to affect the status of or legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold any Governmental Approval in any other jurisdiction. 

9    BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues 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 Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; 

(c) for any Letters of Credit, demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business
judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and
(ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit; 
 (d) terminate any FX Contracts; 
 (e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly
with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account; 

(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the
Collateral. Borrower 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 

  
 20 









 
prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s
rights or remedies; 
 (g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any
amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; 
 (h) 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, 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, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; 
 (i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement
or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 
 (j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

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

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

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may
apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall
determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters
into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the 

  
 21 









 
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. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by
the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and
Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 
 9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable. 
 10    NOTICES

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

 California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; 

  
 22 









 
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the
Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and
Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.
Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to
Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof
or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. 
 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND
ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 
 WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties
hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the
Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California
Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and
permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek
provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private
judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a
court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties
agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
§ 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the
applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. 
 12    GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors
and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the
consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or


  
 23 









 
asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or
paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by
such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the
essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement. 
 12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each
provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision. 

12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent
with the agreement of the parties so long as Bank provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be
made except by an amendment signed by both Bank and Borrower. 
 12.6 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration.
No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by
the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or
evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance,
whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All
prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents. 

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. 

12.8 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 inchoate indemnity obligations. Bank Services that have been cash secured and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this
Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the grant of security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 shall survive until the termination of all Bank
Services Agreements. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run. 

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it
exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”); (b) to
prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this
provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising
remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a 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 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 the
confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized 

  
 24 









 
prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

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

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

12.12 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of
this Agreement. 
 12.13 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys
have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist. 

12.14 Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this
Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract. 

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