1.2 Interpretation. 
 (a)
In the case of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, (i) the meanings of defined terms are equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the defined terms; (ii) Annex, Exhibit, Schedule and Section references are to such
Loan Document unless otherwise specified; (iii) the term “including” is not limiting and means “including but not limited to”; (iv) in the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date,
the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including”; (v) unless otherwise
expressly provided in such Loan Document, (A) references to agreements and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent such amendments,
restatements and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of any Loan Document, and (B) references to any statute, directive or regulation shall be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions amending, replacing,
supplementing or interpreting such statute, directive or regulation; (vi) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, all of which are
cumulative and each shall be performed in accordance with its terms and (vii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel to Agent, Borrower, Lenders and the other parties
hereto and thereto and are the products of all parties; accordingly, they shall not be construed against Borrower, Agent or Lenders merely because of Borrower’s, Agent’s or Lenders’ involvement in their preparation. Except where
otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or the exercise of Agent’s judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be
(x) within the sole and absolute discretion of Agent and/or Lenders; and (y) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for such purpose executed by Agent. 

(b) For purposes of converting any amount reported or otherwise denominated in any currency other than Dollars to Dollars under or in
connection with the Loan Documents, Agent shall calculate such currency conversion via the applicable exchange rate identified and normally published by Bloomberg Professional Service as the applicable exchange rate as of the close of currency
trading on each trading date during the applicable period of measurement, or, if such currency conversion deals exclusively 

  
 - 15 - 












 
with a particular date of determination, as of the close of currency trading on such date of determination (or the following trading date to the extent no currency trading took place on such date
of determination). If Bloomberg Professional Service no longer reports such currency exchange rate, Agent shall select another nationally-recognized currency exchange rate reporting service selected by Agent in good faith. 

(c) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and
either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject
to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Agent
and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such
change in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision in any Loan document, the definitions set forth in this Agreement and any financial calculations required by the Loan Documents shall be computed to exclude any change to lease accounting rules as
a result of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 842 (Leases) from those in effect pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 840 (Leases) and other related lease accounting
guidance. 
 Section 2 Credit Facility. 

2.1 Term Loan Commitments. 

On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make a term loan to
Borrower (the “Term Loan”), within two (2) Business Days of request therefore by Borrower, in an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Term Loan Share of the Term Loan Commitment. The Commitments of
Lenders to make any portion of the Term Loan shall terminate concurrently with the making of such Term Loan. The Term Loan is not a revolving credit facility, and therefore any amount thereof that is repaid or prepaid by Borrower, in whole or in
part, may not be re-borrowed.  
 2.2 [Reserved]. 

2.3 Commitments Several. 

The failure of any Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any)
to fund its Pro Rata Portion of the Term Loan on the applicable date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Term Loan to be made by such other Lender. Any Lender who (i) fails to fund its Pro Rata
Share of any Term Loan Commitment within two (2) Business Days after the date such Term Loans were required to be funded hereunder or (ii) notifies Borrower and Agent in writing, or makes a public statement to the effect, that it does not
intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, unless, in each case, such Lender gives written notice to Agent and Lender stating that, and specifically identifying which, one or more conditions to funding has not or cannot been satisfied,
shall be a “Defaulting Lender” hereunder. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be suspended, such Defaulting Lender shall not be
entitled to receive any commitment or other fees hereunder and Borrower may, by written notice to Agent, terminate the unused amount of the Term Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. 

  
 - 16 - 












 2.4 Indebtedness Absolute; No Offset; Waiver. 

The payment obligations of Borrower hereunder are absolute and unconditional, without any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense for any reason against Agent and Lenders to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As of the Closing Date and the date of any advance of the Term Loan, the Loan has
not been compromised, adjusted, extended, satisfied, rescinded, set-off or modified, and the Loan Documents are not subject to any litigation, dispute, refund, claims of rescission, set-off, netting, counterclaim or defense whatsoever, including but not limited to, claims by or against any Loan Party or any other Person. Payment of the Obligations by Borrower, shall be made only by wire
transfer, in Dollars, and in immediately available funds when due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, rescission, set-off, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deductible, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Loan, or otherwise. Without limitation to the
foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and notwithstanding any other term or provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives (and shall cause each Loan Party to waive)
(a) presentment, protest and demand, notice of default (except as expressly required in the Loan Documents), notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of the Obligations, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document,
(c) any rights, legal or equitable, to require any marshalling of assets or to require foreclosure sales in a particular order, (d) all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law
except as specifically required hereunder, (e) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale or any portion of the Collateral, (f) all rights of homestead, exemption,
redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations in the event of foreclosure of the Liens created by the Loan Documents, (g) the pleading of any statute of
limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document and (h) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Loan Documents, including the obligation to pay taxes based on any damage to, defects in or destruction
of the Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any of the Collateral, it being agreed and acknowledged that such payment obligations are unconditional and irrevocable. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees (i) to any
substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the Loan; (ii) that Agent shall not be required to first institute suit or exhaust its remedies
hereon against others liable for repayment of all or any part of the Loan, whether primarily or secondarily (collectively, the “Obligors”), or to perfect or enforce its rights against any Obligor or any security for the Loan;
and (iii) that its liability for payment of the Loan shall not be affected or impaired by any determination that any security interest or lien taken by Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders to secure the Loan is invalid or unperfected.
Borrower acknowledges, warrants and represents in connection with each waiver of any right or remedy of Borrower contained in any Loan Document, that it has been fully informed with respect to, and represented by counsel of its choice in connection
with, such rights and remedies, and all such waivers, and after such advice and consultation, has presently and actually intended, with full knowledge of its rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to waive or relinquish such
rights and remedies to the full extent specified in each such waiver.

 2.5 Loan Accounting. 

2.5.1 Recordkeeping. 

Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records the date and amount of the Term Loan made by each Lender, each prepayment and
repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be final, binding and conclusive absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon. 

2.5.2 Notes. 
 (a)
Borrower agrees that upon written notice by Agent to Borrower that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by Lenders to evidence the Loan and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, Lenders, Borrower shall
promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of any such request) execute and deliver to Agent a promissory note in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

(b) Upon Agent’s written request, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of any such request, Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Agent new Notes (on substantially the same terms and in substantially the same form) and/or divide the Notes in exchange for then existing Notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as Agent shall specify in its sole discretion;
provided that the aggregate principal amount of such new Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the time such request is made; and provided, further, that such Notes that are to be replaced shall then be
deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new Notes and returned to Borrower within ten (10) days after Agent’s receipt of the replacement Notes; and 

(c) upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Notes and the ownership
thereof, Borrower shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Notes, execute and deliver in replacement thereof new Notes in the same form, in the same original principal amount and dated the same date as the Notes so mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen; and such Notes so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the Notes being replaced have been mutilated, they shall be surrendered to Borrower after Agent’s receipt of the
replacement Notes; and if such replaced Notes have been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish Borrower with an indemnity in writing reasonably acceptable to Borrower to save them harmless in respect of such replaced Note. 

2.6 Payment of Interest and Principal. 

2.6.1 Interest Rate Calculation. 

(a) The outstanding principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Contract Rate (as may
be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.6.1). Whenever, subsequent to the date hereof, the LIBOR Rate is increased or decreased (as determined on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to
each Payment Date), the Contract Rate, as set forth herein, shall be similarly changed effective as of such subsequent Payment Date, without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the LIBOR Rate on the date
that is two (2) Business Days prior to each such Payment Date. The interest due on the principal balance 

  
 - 18 - 












 
of the Loan outstanding as of any Payment Date shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed during the period in question on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty
(360) days and shall be calculated by determining the daily principal balance outstanding for each day of such period in question. The daily rate shall be equal to 1/360th times the Contract Rate. If any statement furnished by Agent for the
amount of a payment due exceeded the actual amount that should have been paid because the LIBOR Rate decreased and such decrease was not reflected in such statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in such statement from Agent and Borrower
shall receive a credit for the overpayment, which credit shall be applied towards the next subsequent payment due hereunder. If any statement furnished by Agent for the amount of a payment due was less than the actual amount that should have been
paid because the LIBOR Rate increased and such increase was not reflected in such statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in such statement from Agent and Borrower shall be required to pay any resulting underpayment with the next
subsequent payment due hereunder. 
 (b) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that any default on any payment, or portion thereof, due
hereunder or to be made under any of the other Loan Documents, will result in losses and additional expenses to Agent in servicing the Loan, and in losses due to Lenders’ loss of the use of funds not timely received. Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such Default, Lenders would be entitled to damages for the detriment proximately caused thereby, but that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of or compute such
damages. Therefore, upon the Term Loan Maturity Date and/or upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default (or upon any acceleration), interest shall automatically accrue hereunder, without notice to Borrower, at the Default
Rate. The Default Rate shall be calculated and due from the date that the Event of Default occurred. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate for any Loan (if applicable), together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder (if applicable), together with all charges payable in respect of the Loan, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result
of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest (if any) and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at
the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest (if any) and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount
collectible at the Maximum Rate. 
 2.6.2 Payments of Interest. 

Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all accrued interest on the Loan in arrears on each Payment Date, upon a prepayment
of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.8 and at maturity in cash. Notwithstanding the forgoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may elect in writing (which may include electronic
email) to Agent on or before any such Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Amortization Payment Date to capitalize all or a portion of the interest otherwise due and payable on any such Payment Date (each a “PIK Amount”)
into the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Borrower exercises its rights pursuant to the prior sentence, all such PIK Amounts will accrue interest in accordance with this Agreement from the related
Payment Date until paid in full and shall be subject to the general payment provisions of this Agreement as are applicable to rest of the Term Loan. 

  
 - 19 - 












 2.6.3 Payments of Principal. 

On the Amortization Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall make an amortization payment to Agent, for the benefit
of Lenders, in the amount of $650,000, with such amount to be applied to the Term Loan pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and all other
Obligations then due and owing shall be Paid in Full on the Termination Date. 
 2.7 Fees. 

(a) Origination Fee. Upon the date on which the Term Loan is funded, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its own account, a fee (the
“Origination Fee”) in the amount of $97,500, which Origination Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable on the Closing Date. 

(b) Exit Fee. Upon the Termination Date, Borrower shall pay an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) to Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, which Exit Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable on the Termination Date, in the amount calculated as follows: 

(i) in the event that the Acer-001 Approval Date or the Termination Date occurs on or
before September 30, 2022, the additional amount that would be needed to be paid such that the sum of (w) such Exit Fee, plus (x) the Origination Fee, plus (y) aggregate payments actually made in cash to Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, on or prior to such date in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loan (excluding, in each case, any amounts paid in respect of costs, indemnifications or reimbursements, any amounts realized by Agent and Lenders in connection with
the Closing Date Warrant and/or any fees paid to Agent and Lenders other than the Exit Fee and the Origination Fee), plus (z) the aggregate interest payments actually made in cash to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, on or prior to such date
(excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest accrued at the Default Rate), results in an amount equal to one and three tenths (1.3) times the aggregate, outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (inclusive, for the avoidance of doubt,
any and all PIK Amounts); or 
 (ii) in the event that the Acer-001 Approval Date and
the Termination Date occur after September 30, 2022, the additional amount that would be needed to be paid such that the sum of (w) such Exit Fee, plus (x) the Origination Fee, plus (y) aggregate payments actually made in cash to
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, on or prior to such date in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loan (excluding, in each case, any amounts paid in respect of costs, indemnifications or reimbursements, any amounts realized by Agent and
Lenders in connection with the Closing Date Warrant and/or any fees paid to Agent and Lenders other than the Exit Fee and the Origination Fee), plus (z) the aggregate interest payments actually made in cash to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders,
on or prior to such date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest accrued at the Default Rate), results in an amount equal to one and five tenths (1.5) times the aggregate, outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (inclusive, for
the avoidance of doubt, any and all PIK Amounts). 

  
 - 20 - 












 2.8 Prepayment. 

2.8.1 Mandatory Prepayment. 

Borrower shall prepay the Obligations, or any portion thereof, as applicable, (which shall include the amounts due and payable under
Section 2.7(b) hereof) until paid in full within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by a Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds. 

2.8.2 Voluntary Prepayment. 

Subject to clause (b) below, Borrower may, on at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice or telephonic notice
(followed on the same Business Day by written confirmation thereof) to Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on such day, prepay the Term Loan and all related Obligations in whole or in
part at any time prior to the Termination Date. Such notice to Agent shall specify the amount and proposed date of such prepayment. 
 2.9
Payment Mechanics. 
 2.9.1 Making of Payments. 

Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.9.1, all payments of principal, interest, fees and other
amounts, shall be made in immediately-available funds, via wire transfer as directed by Agent in writing, not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by
Agent on the following Business Day. Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, Agent shall provide to Borrower and each Lender a quarterly statement with the amounts payable by Borrower to Agent on such Payment Date,
which statement shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such quarterly statement in relation to its payment obligations on such Payment Date. 

2.9.2 Application of Payments and Proceeds Following an Event of Default. 

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or if the Obligations have otherwise become or have been declared
to become immediately due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, then notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Agent shall apply all or any part of payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of
Collateral, in each case as received by Agent, to the payment of the Obligations in the order and priority as determined by Agent in its sole discretion. 

2.9.3 Set-off. 

Borrower agrees that Agent and each Lender and its Affiliates have all rights of set-off and
bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower agrees that at any time an Event of Default exists, Agent and each Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply to the payment of any
Obligations of Borrower hereunder then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any rights described in the
preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Agent. 

  
 - 21 - 












 2.9.4 Proration of Payments. 

If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of set-off or otherwise, on account
of principal of, interest on or fees in relation to any Loan, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 10.5 or 10.8) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Term Loan Share of payments and
other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of, interest on or fees in relation to such Term Loan then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. 
 Section 3 Yield Protection. 

3.1 Taxes. 
 (a) All
payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower to or for the account of Agent or any Lender shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income,
excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, withholdings or other similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that is a taxing authority (“Tax” or
“Taxes”), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s net income (however denominated) or gross profits, and franchise taxes, imposed by any jurisdiction (or subdivision thereof) under
the laws of which Agent or such Lender is organized or in which Agent or such Lender conducts business or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located at the time such Lender acquires its initial interest in any Term
Loan Commitment, (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Agent or a Lender is located or conducts business; (iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender,
any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office; (iv) in the case of any U.S. Lender, any United States federal
backup withholding tax; and (v) taxes imposed under FATCA; (vi) Taxes attributable to a Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.1(c) or inability to provide the applicable IRS Form set forth in
Section 3.1(c) to Borrower and Agent; (vii) with respect to Agent or any Lender, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other
than connections arising from such Agent or Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to
or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document); and (viii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes, if any and not otherwise included in clauses (i) through (vii),
imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment or changes
its lending office (items in clauses (i) through (viii), “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes other than Excluded Taxes, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any
payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower shall: (w) make such withholding or deduction; (x) pay directly to the relevant
Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (y) as promptly as practicable forward to Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to
Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and (z) if the withholding or deduction is with respect to Indemnified Taxes, pay to Agent for the account of Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is


  
 - 22 - 












 
necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been
required. To the extent that any amounts shall ever be paid by Borrower in respect of Indemnified Taxes, such amounts shall, for greater certainty, be considered to have accrued and to have been paid by Borrower as interest on the Loans. 

(b) Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender for any Indemnified Taxes paid by Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect
to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder, and any additions to Tax, penalties and interest paid by Agent or such Lender with respect to such Indemnified Taxes; provided that Borrower shall not have any
obligation to indemnify any party hereunder for any Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto that result from or are attributable to such party’s own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Payment under this Section 3.1(b) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Agent or the Lender, as applicable, makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that if such written demand is
made more than one-hundred eighty (180) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Agent or the Lender, as applicable, pays such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with
respect thereto and (ii) the date on which the applicable Governmental Authority makes written demand on Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto,
then Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Agent or such Lender for such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto. 

(c) Each Foreign Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under
Section 10.8.1 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement: 
 (i) Two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE) claiming exemption from withholding of Taxes under an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party; 

(ii) two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower claiming entitlement to the portfolio
interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the IRC and certifying that such Foreign Lender is not (w) a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation
1.881-3, (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the IRC, together with two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE); or 
 (iv) if the
Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of amounts paid to it hereunder, two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, each accompanied by a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE), IRS Form W-9 or a portfolio interest certificate
described in clause (iii) above from each beneficial owner of such amounts claiming entitlement to exemption from withholding or backup withholding of Taxes. 

  
 - 23 - 












 Each Foreign Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower and
Agent on or prior to the date any prior form previously provided under this clause (c) becomes obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it
pursuant to this clause (c) or from time to time if requested by Borrower or Agent. Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from backup withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (or any

such Lender, agrees to repay to Agent or such Lender the amount paid over to Borrower in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.1(e) shall not be

event for the purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 3.1) such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall
be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

that being a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, granting of Liens thereunder and the related transactions contemplated herein or therein in relation to any Subsidiary that is organized outside of the United States (each an
“Immaterial Foreign Subsidiary”) may cause such Immaterial Foreign Subsidiary or Borrower to suffer a material, negative tax consequence (or any other undue burden in light of the operations and/or assets of such Immaterial Foreign
Subsidiary) to Borrower and/or one of its Subsidiaries, then Agent and Borrower shall work together in good faith, as may be necessary to limit the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise agreed to by Agent in

 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against Agent. 

  
 - 55 - 












 9.2 Delegation of Duties. 

Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. 

9.3 Limited Liability. 

None of Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in
any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document
to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party. 
 9.4
Reliance. 
 Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter or telephone message, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance
with a request or consent of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender. 

9.5 Notice of Default. 

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in
the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders.
Agent 

  
 - 56 - 












 
shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.2; provided that
unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest
of Lenders. 
 9.6 Credit Decision. 

Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party which may come into the possession of Agent. 

9.7 Indemnification. 

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share, from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and out-of-pocket expenses, including Legal Costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the
applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the
extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification,
release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 

9.8 Agent Individually. 

SWK and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Loan Party and any Affiliate of any Loan Party as though SWK were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each
Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, SWK or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Parties or 

  
 - 57 - 












 
their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), SWK and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though SWK were not Agent, and
the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include SWK and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities. 

9.9 Successor Agent. 

Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to Lenders and Borrower (unless during the existence of an Event of
Default such notice is waived by Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint
from among Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf of, and after consulting with Lenders and (so
long as no Event of Default exists) Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent becomes effective, the provisions of this
Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties
of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents,
the retiring Agent shall continue so to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall
continue to inure to its benefit so long as retiring Agent shall continue to so hold such collateral security. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Collateral. 
 9.10 Collateral and Guarantee Matters.

 Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under
any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent,
waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement);
or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; (b) notwithstanding Section 10.1(a)(ii) hereof to release any party from its guaranty
under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full or (ii) if such party was sold or is to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including by
consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition being made in compliance with this Agreement);
or (c) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(d) (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from
Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its
interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10. 

  
 - 58 - 












 Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document
(i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full, (ii) in respect of property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent
may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement) or (iii) subject to Section 10.1,
if directed to do so in writing by Required Lenders. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing, Agent agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower, at
Borrower’s expense, such termination and release documentation as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence a Lien release that occurs pursuant to terms of this Section 9.10. 

9.11 Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements. 

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements and/or
subordination agreements in relation to any other Debt of Borrower entered into in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise approved by Required Lenders, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such
agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.11). Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any such intercreditor agreement and subordination agreement. Each Lender hereby
authorizes Agent to issue blockages notices in connection with any such Debt of Borrower and such intercreditor agreement and subordination agreement, or any replacement intercreditor agreement and/or subordination agreement, in its discretion or,
at the direction of Required Lenders. 
 9.12 Actions in Concert. 

For the sake of clarity, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its
rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it being
the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders. 

Section 10 Miscellaneous. 
 10.1
Waiver; Amendments. 
 (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or
consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower (with respect to Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party), by
Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) having aggregate Pro Rata Term Loan Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Term Loan Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such express designation herein, by
Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that:

 (i) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, in addition to Required Lenders and Borrower, do any of the following: (A) increase any of the Commitments (provided that only the Lenders participating in any such
increase of the Commitments shall be considered directly affected by such increase), (B) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal of (except as otherwise expressly set forth below in clause (C)), or interest on, the Loans or any
fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or (C) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the amount or rate of interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents;

granted under the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (B) change the definition of Required Lenders, (C) change any provision of this
Section 10.1, (D) amend the provisions of Section 2.10.2 or Section 2.10.4, or (E) reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Term Loan Shares required to effect any amendment,
modification, waiver or consent under the Loan Documents.

signed by Agent, in addition to Borrower and Required Lenders (or all Lenders directly affected thereby or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions above, other than in each case any Defaulting Lender), affect the
rights, privileges, duties or obligations of Agent (including without limitation under the provisions of Section 9), under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(c) No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. 

10.2 Notices. 
 All
notices hereunder shall be in writing (including via electronic mail) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex II or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have
designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by electronic mail transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent if sent during regular business hours on a Business Day, otherwise, such deemed delivery will be effective as of
the next Business Day; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given five (5) Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier
service shall be deemed to have been given when received. Borrower, Agent and Lenders each hereby acknowledge that, from time to time, Agent, Lenders and Borrower may deliver information and notices using electronic mail.

 10.3 Computations. 

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term
in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. The explicit qualification of terms or computations by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way
be construed to limit the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made,
without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (Codification of Accounting Standards 825-10) to value any Debt or other liabilities of any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein. 
 10.4 Costs; Expenses. 

Borrower agrees to pay on demand the reasonable, out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of (a) Agent (including Legal Costs) in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, syndication and delivery (including perfection and protection of Collateral) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all
other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) the administration of the Loans and the Loan Documents, and (iii) any proposed or actual amendment, supplement or waiver to any
Loan Document, and (b) Agent and Lenders (including Legal Costs) in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay
and to save Agent and Lenders harmless from all liability for, any fees of Borrower’s auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Agent and Lenders of their rights pursuant to and to the extent provided in
Section 6.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, and termination of this Agreement. 

10.5 Indemnification by Borrower. 

In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agent and Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided
hereunder, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of Agent and each Lender (each a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Legal Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective officers, directors or agents, including, without limitation, (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of equity interests, purchase of assets or other similar transaction
financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance at any property owned or leased by Borrower or any other Loan Party, (c) any violation of any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or the operations conducted
thereon, (d) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which any Loan Party or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances, (e) the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Lender Party, except to the extent any such Indemnified Liabilities result solely from the applicable Lender Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment, or (f) such Person’s general operation of its business including all product liability out of or in connection
with such Person’s or any of its Affiliates or licensees manufacture use or sale of a Product or the provision of a Service. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 - 61 - 












 10.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. 

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such
payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent to the extent paid to such Lender. 

10.7 Non-liability of Lenders. 

The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and Lenders and Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither
Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to Borrower. Neither Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or
operations. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior
discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities. 

10.8 Assignments. 

10.8.1 Assignments. 

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (other than a Loan Party and their respective Affiliates) (any such Person, an
“Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, with (x) the prior written consent of Agent and (y) solely to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the prior written consent of Borrower; provided, however, that no such consent(s) shall be required: 
 (i)
from Borrower for an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; 
 (ii) from Agent
for an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender; 
 (iii) from Agent for an
assignment by SWK, as a Lender, to any Person for which SWK Advisors LLC acts as an investment advisor (or any similar type of representation or agency) pursuant to a written agreement, but SWK will give written notice to Borrower of any such
assignment; 

  
 - 62 - 












 (iv) from Agent for an assignment by a Lender of its Loans and its
Note as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder); or 

(v) from Borrower, Agent or any Lender for (A) the assignment of SWK’s Loans and Commitments to a Permitted
Assignee (as defined below) or (B) a collateral assignment by SWK of, and the grant by SWK of a security interest in, all of SWK’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all of
SWK’s rights and interests in, to and under this Agreement, the Obligations and the Collateral (collectively, the “Assigned Rights”), to a Permitted Assignee, provided that no such collateral assignment shall release SWK
from any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents. In connection with any enforcement of or foreclosure upon its security interests in any of the Assigned Rights, a Permitted Assignee, upon notice to Borrower, SWK and the other Lenders,
shall be entitled to substitute itself, or its designee, for SWK as a Lender under this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the term “Permitted Assignee” shall mean any lender to or funding source of SWK or its Affiliate, together with
its successors, assigns or designees (including, without limitation, any purchaser or other assignee of the Assigned Rights from such Person). Effective immediately upon the replacement of SWK as a Lender under this Agreement by a Permitted Assignee
in accordance with this clause (v), SWK shall automatically be deemed to have resigned as Agent pursuant to Section 9.9 of this Agreement (without the need for Agent giving advance written notice of such resignation
as required pursuant to such Section 9.9), and Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent in accordance with Section 9.9 of this Agreement. 

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to
have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning
Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the
Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of
the Assignee’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Term Loan Share retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by
the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it. 
 (c) Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded
therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable
prior notice to Agent. 

  
 - 63 - 












 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note (i) as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such
Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) and (ii) to (w) an Affiliate of such Lender which is at least fifty percent (50%) owned
(directly or indirectly) by such Lender or by its direct or indirect parent company, (x) its direct or indirect parent company, (y) to one or more other Lenders or (z) to an Approved Fund. 

10.9 Participations. 

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder (any
such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 10.1 expressly requiring the unanimous
vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Borrower agrees, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in
Section 2.10.4. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to such
benefits unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with the documentation requirements of Section 3.1(c) as if it were a Lender and complies with such requirements, and provided,
further, that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold). Any such Lender transferring
a participation shall, as an agent for Borrower, maintain in the United States a register to record the names, address, and interest, principal and other amounts owing to, each Participant. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of
manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
Such participation register shall be available for inspection by the Agent or Borrower, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior written notice from Agent or Borrower. 

10.10 Confidentiality. 

Borrower, Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Borrower, Agent or such Lender applies
to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information (including, without limitation, any information provided by Borrower pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.9)
provided to them by any other party hereto and/or any other Loan Party, as applicable, except that (i) Borrower may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Borrower in connection with this Agreement that have a need
to know and are bound by a duty of confidentiality or have agreed to the covenants set forth in this Section 10.10, (b) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or as reasonably


  
 - 64 - 












 
believed by Borrower to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Borrower’s counsel, is required by law;
