less than 365 or 366, as the case may be, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which
the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest
calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the foregoing satisfies the
requirements of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to the extent it applies to the expression or statement of any interest payable hereunder. 

(d) Application of Payments. All payments received by Lenders prior to an Event of Default shall be applied as follows: (i) first,
to each Lender’s pro rata portion of the Lenders’ Expenses then due and owing; and (ii) second, ratably, to all Scheduled Payments then due and owing. After an Event of Default, all payments and application of proceeds shall be made
as set forth in Section 9.7. 
 (e) Late Payment Fee. Borrower shall pay to each Lender a late payment fee
equal to five percent (5%) of any Scheduled Payment not paid when due to such Lender. Alternatively, PSP Lender may determine that Borrower shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the defaulted Scheduled Payment (as well as the outstanding
principal balance of the Loans) until such Scheduled Payment is paid in full. 
 (f) Default Rate. Borrower shall pay interest at a
per annum rate equal to the Default Rate on any amounts required to be paid by Borrower to Collateral Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including Scheduled Payments), payable with respect to any Loan, accrued and
unpaid interest, and any fees or other amounts which remain unpaid after such amounts are due. If an Event of Default has occurred and the Obligations have been accelerated (whether automatically or by any Lender’s election), Borrower shall pay
interest 

  
 -12- 













 
on the aggregate, outstanding accelerated balance hereunder from the date of the Event of Default until all Events of Default are cured, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate. 

(g) Final Payment. 
 (i)
Full Final Payment. Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent of the amount of the Loans advanced under this Agreement and the Notes upon the earlier of (A) payment in full of the principal balance of the Loans,
(B) an Event of Default and demand by Lender of payment in full of the Loans, or (C) the Maturity Date, as applicable (the “Final Payment”). 

(ii) Advance of Final Payment. In connection with any prepayment of less than all of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans,
Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent of the principal balance of the Loans being prepaid. Such payment shall be applied against the Final Payment. 

2.3 Prepayments. 
 (a)
Mandatory Prepayment 
 (i) Upon Acceleration. If the Loans are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, then Borrower, in addition to any other amounts which may be due and owing hereunder, shall immediately pay to Lenders the amount set forth in Section 2.3(b)
below, as if Borrower had opted to prepay on the date of such acceleration. 
 (ii) Upon Issuance of Equity Securities. If any
Borrower or Subsidiary issues any Equity Securities in one or more issuances, other than on a cashfree conversion of debt or other Equity Securities, and such issuances yield net proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, then Borrower shall promptly (and
in all cases within three (3) Business Days) deliver to the Lenders the lesser of (i) all such proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, adding amounts owing under Section 2.2(g) thereto, and (ii) payment in full of
the Obligations. This provision shall not be deemed to permit the issuance of Equity Securities in any Borrower or Subsidiary other than in D-Wave Systems Inc. 

(iii) Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds in excess of $25,000 shall be paid to the Collateral Agent. No payment under
Section 2.2(g)(ii) shall be required, and the five percent payment on the amount of such proceeds shall be deferred until the payment made pursuant to Section 2.2(g)(i) above. 

(b) Optional Prepayment. Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lenders, Borrower may, at its option, at any
time, prepay all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Loans by simultaneously paying to each Lender an amount equal to, without duplication, (i) any accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of its Loans;
plus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan; plus (iii) the Final Payment, and (iv) all other sums then due and payable hereunder. 
  

  
 -13- 













 2.4 Other Payment Terms. 

(a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lenders in lawful money of the United States. All payments of principal,
interest, fees and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be made, in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 a.m. in New York time, on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment received by Lender after the time set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue through such date. Borrower shall make such payments to each Lender via wire transfer or
ACH as instructed by such Lender from time to time. 
 (b) Date. Whenever any payment is due hereunder on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  

	 	(c)	 Taxes. Section 2.4(c) 



(i) Unless otherwise required under applicable law, any and all payments made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4(c)) the relevant Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(B) Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(ii) Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes imposed
or asserted directly on such Lender by any Governmental Authority on or attributable to amounts payable under this Agreement solely as a result of such Lender entering into this Agreement to the extent such Taxes are paid by such Lender, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that such indemnified Taxes shall not include income or franchise Taxes imposed on (or measured by) such Lender’s net income
by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein, under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or in which its applicable lending office is located. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iii) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower hereunder to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lenders. 

(iv) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is
located, or any treaty to 

  
 -14- 













 
which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at such time as reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 

(v) If a Lender receives a refund in respect of taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), which in the
sole discretion of such Lender exercised in good faith is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by Borrower in connection with such refunded Taxes, to Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes to which such Lender has become subject as a result of its receipt of such refund) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Lender, shall repay to such Lender amounts paid over pursuant to the
preceding clause (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this paragraph (v), in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (v) the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 2.5 Procedure for Making the
Loans. 
 (a) Notice. Other than with respect to the initial Loan advanced under this Agreement, Borrower shall notify each
Lender of the date on which Borrower desires a Lender to make any Loan at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the desired Funding Date, unless the relevant Lender elects at its sole discretion to allow the Funding Date for a Loan to be
made by such Lender to be within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s notice. Borrower’s execution and delivery to Lenders of one or more Notes in respect of a Loan shall be Borrower’s agreement to the terms and calculations
thereunder with respect to such Loan. Each Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be expressly subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3. 

(b) Loan Rate Calculation. Prior to each Funding Date for any Loan, the Collateral Agent shall establish the initial Loan Rate with
respect to such Loan, which shall be conclusive in the absence of a manifest error. 
 (c) Disbursement. Lenders shall disburse the
proceeds of each Loan by wire transfer to Borrower at the account specified in the Funding Certificate for such Loan. 
 2.6 Legal and
Closing Expenses; and Commitment Fee. 
  

	 	(a)	 [Reserved] 



(b) Legal, Due Diligence and Documentation Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Lenders via “netting” all of Lenders’
reasonable legal, due diligence and documentation expenses in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Loan

expenses shall be retained and deemed fully earned by the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Loan A is not advanced, Borrower shall still be responsible for these amounts, promptly upon demand. 

(c) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay a commitment fee to Lender in the amount of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000)
(the “Commitment Fee”). The Commitment Fee shall be paid by Borrower from the proceeds of Loan A, as described in Section 3.1(j). The Commitment Fee shall be retained by the applicable Lender and be deemed
fully earned upon receipt (i.e., when retained from Loan A), regardless of whether all or any portion of Loan A, Loan B and Loan C are ever advanced. Furthermore, if Loan A is not advanced, Borrower shall still be responsible for the Commitment Fee,
promptly upon demand.

 4. Creation of Security Interest. 

4.1 Grant of Security Interests. Borrower grants to Collateral Agent and each Lender a valid, continuing security interest in all
presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt, full and complete payment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt, full and complete performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and
duties under each of the Loan Documents. The “Collateral” shall mean and include all right, title, interest, claims and demands of Borrower in the following (and, upon obtaining the consent from the applicable Governmental Authority
(currently, the Minister for Industry in Canada) for the grant of security in Project Intellectual Property under the SIF Credit Agreement), all Intellectual Property excluded from clause (c) below and added pursuant to
Section 4.2: 
 (a) All goods (and embedded computer programs and supporting information included within the
definition of “goods” under the Code) and equipment now owned or hereafter acquired, including all laboratory equipment, computer equipment, office equipment, machinery, fixtures, vehicles (including motor vehicles and trailers), and any
interest in any of the foregoing, and all attachments, accessories, accessions, replacements, substitutions, additions, and improvements to any of the foregoing, wherever located; 

(b) All inventory now owned or hereafter acquired, including all merchandise, raw materials, parts, supplies, packing and shipping materials,
work in process and finished products including such inventory as is temporarily out of Borrower’s custody or possession or in transit and including any returns upon any accounts or other proceeds, including insurance proceeds, resulting from
the sale or disposition of any of the foregoing and any documents of title representing any of the above, and Borrower’s books relating to any of the foregoing;

 -19- 













 (d) All now existing and hereafter arising accounts, contract rights, royalties, license
rights, license fees and all other forms of obligations owing to Borrower arising out of the sale or lease of goods, the licensing of technology or the rendering of services by Borrower (subject, in each case, to the contractual rights of third
parties to require funds received by Borrower to be expended in a particular manner), whether or not earned by performance, and any and all credit insurance, guaranties, and other security therefor, as well as all merchandise returned to or
reclaimed by Borrower and Borrower’s books relating to any of the foregoing; 
 (e) All documents, cash, deposit accounts, letters of
credit and letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing) and other supporting obligations, certificates of deposit, instruments, promissory notes, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic) and

no longer constitute Project Intellectual Property; but notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 4.2 of this Agreement below, the Collateral shall not include any Project Intellectual Property; provided,
however, that the Collateral shall at all times include all accounts receivables, accounts, and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the
foregoing (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Project Intellectual Property is necessary to have a
security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Rights
to Payment. 
 4.2 Project Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1 of this Agreement
to the contrary, upon Borrower’s receipt of the consent from the applicable Governmental Authority (currently, the Minister for Industry in Canada) for the grant of security in Project Intellectual Property under the SIF Credit Agreement, and
without any further action required by Borrower, Collateral Agent or Lenders, (A) Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Collateral Agent and Lenders a continuing security interest in all of Borrower’s then owned and thereafter arising
Project Intellectual Property in order to secure prompt payment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents, (B) Collateral Agent and Lenders
shall be authorized to file an amendment to its UCC-1 financing statement to reflect the inclusion of the Project Intellectual Property within the description of the Collateral as well as appropriate
documentation with the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office to evidence such security interest, including the Intellectual Property Security Agreement or short form assignments of the applicable Intellectual Property, and (C) Borrower
shall execute and deliver, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, all 

  
 -20- 













 
documents and instruments reasonably necessary to perfect such security interest, including, but not limited to, intellectual property security agreements. 

4.3 After-Acquired Property. If Borrower shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the Code, Borrower shall
immediately notify Collateral Agent and Lenders in writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Collateral Agent and each Lender 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 satisfactory to Collateral Agent and each Lender. 
 4.4 Duration of
Security Interest. Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all Obligations, and termination of each Lender’s commitment
to fund the Loans, whereupon such security interest shall terminate. Collateral Agent and each Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute such further documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to
make effective the release contemplated by this Section 4.3, including duly authorizing and delivering termination statements for filing in all relevant jurisdictions under the Code and PPSA. 

4.5 Location and Possession of Collateral. The Collateral is and shall remain in the possession of Borrower at its location listed on
the cover page hereof or as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule. Borrower shall remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of the Collateral (except only as may be otherwise required by Collateral Agent or any Lender for perfection of the
security interests therein created hereunder) and, in the absence of any then existing Default (or Event of Default), shall be entitled to manage, operate and use the same and each part thereof with the rights and franchises appertaining thereto;
provided that the possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Collateral shall at all times be subject to the observance and performance of the terms of this Agreement. 

4.6 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Collateral Agent and
Lenders, at the request of Collateral Agent or any Lender, all financing statements and other documents Collateral Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent and Lenders, to perfect and continue Collateral
Agent’s and Lenders’ perfected security interests in the Collateral and in order to consummate fully all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. 

4.7 Right to Inspect. Collateral Agent and each Lender (through any of their officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon
reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours, to inspect the books and records of Borrower and Subsidiaries and to make copies thereof and to inspect, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify
Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. Any inspection, test or appraisal conducted hereunder shall be conducted at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. 

  
 -21- 













 4.8 Intellectual Property. 

(a) At any Lender’s request, Borrower shall register or cause to be registered with the United States Copyright Office and/or the
Canadian Intellectual Property Office (i) any software (material to the business of Borrower) developed or acquired by Borrower in connection with any product developed or acquired for sale or licensing, (ii) any software (material to the
business of Borrower) developed or acquired by Borrower hereafter from time to time in connection with any product developed or acquired for sale or licensing, and (iii) any major revisions or upgrades to any software that has previously been

States Copyright Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as applicable. 
 4.9 Protection of Intellectual Property.
Borrower shall: 
 (a) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property and promptly advise
Collateral Agent in writing of material infringements of which it has knowledge; 
 (b) not allow any Intellectual Property material to
Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without each Lender’s written consent; 
 (c) provide
written notice to Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is
commercially available to the public); and 
 (d) take such commercially reasonable steps as Collateral Agent or any Lender requests to
obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Collateral Agent and Lenders to have a security interest in it that might otherwise
be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Collateral Agent and each Lender to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral
to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

5. Representations and Warranties. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 

5.1 Organization and Qualification. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and qualified and licensed to do business in, and is in good standing in, any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of Property requires that it be so qualified and licensed


  
 -22- 













 
or in which the Collateral is located, except for such states as to which any failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.2 Authority. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform in accordance
with the terms thereof, the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Borrower and Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority to own and operate their Property and to carry on their businesses as now conducted. Borrower and Subsidiaries have
obtained all licenses, permits, approvals and other authorizations material to the operation of their business. 
 5.3 Conflict with Other
Instruments, etc. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions
thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the articles, certificate of incorporation, the by-laws, or any other organizational documents of Borrower or
such Subsidiary, any law or any regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any such Subsidiary or any of their respective property or assets may be bound or affected or any material
agreement or instrument to which Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound or to which it or any of its Property is subject, or constitute a default thereunder or result in the creation or imposition of
any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. 
 5.4 Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting
of the security interest in the Collateral, the incurrence of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated
have each been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Borrower and each Subsidiary. No authorization, consent, approval, license or exemption of, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, or notice
to, any Person is, was or will be necessary to (a) the valid execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party, (b) the performance of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s obligations under any
Loan Document or (c) the granting of the security interest in the Collateral or the Subsidiary’s entering into the Subsidiary Loan Documents, except for filings in connection with the perfection of the security interest in any of the
Collateral. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by

5.5 No Liens; Intellectual Property. Borrower has good and marketable title to the Collateral, and owns the Collateral free and clear of
Liens except for Permitted Liens. Borrower has good title and ownership of, or is licensed under, all of Borrower’s current Intellectual Property, as listed in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement. Borrower is the sole owner of the
Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers, resellers and/or distributors in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Disclosure

or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is
material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License (other than over the counter software). Borrower has not received any
communications alleging that Borrower has violated, or by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any proprietary rights of any other Person. Borrower has no knowledge of any infringement or violation by it of the intellectual property
rights of any third party and has no knowledge of any violation or infringement by a third party of any of its Intellectual Property. The Collateral and the Intellectual Property constitute substantially all of the assets and property of Borrower,
and Borrower owns or has the right to use all Intellectual Property material to the business of Borrower and Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. 

5.6 Security Interest. The provisions of this Agreement create legal and valid security interests in the Collateral in favor of
Collateral Agent and each Lender, and, assuming the filing of one or more financing statement(s) identifying the Collateral with the proper state and/or local authorities, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Collateral Agent and each
Lender pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute and will continue to constitute first priority security interests (except to the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ Liens under
this Agreement) and (b) are and will continue to be superior and prior to the rights of all other creditors of Borrower (except to the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ Liens
under this Agreement).

the period then ended. 
 5.10 No Material Adverse Change. No Material Adverse Change has occurred since December 31, 2020. 

5.11 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower or any Subsidiary in any Loan Document (including

 -24- 













 
or written statement furnished to Collateral Agent or any Lender contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained in such certificates or statements not misleading. There is no fact known to Borrower or any Subsidiary that materially adversely affects, or which could in the future be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect, its ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 5.12 Solvency, Etc. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is Solvent (as defined below)
and, after the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, each Borrower and Subsidiary will be Solvent. “Solvent” means, with respect to any Person on any date, that on such
date (a) the fair value of the property of such Person is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such Person, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person is not less than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such
Person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (d) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s property would constitute
an unreasonably small capital. 
 5.13 Subsidiaries. No Borrower has any direct or indirect Subsidiaries that are not Borrowers other
than D-Wave UK Ltd., a company existing under the laws of the United Kingdom, D-Wave Quantum Services Europe Limited, a company existing under the laws of Ireland and D-Wave Japan Co. Ltd., a company existing under the laws of Japan, each of which is direct or indirect Subsidiary of D-Wave Systems Inc. Each Subsidiary with respect to which
the Collateral Agent as requested the execution and delivery of Subsidiary Loan Documents is duly authorized to guaranty the Borrower’s performance of the Obligations and to grant a security interest (however denoted) in its Property, and to
enter into the Subsidiary Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the board of directors or other governing body of each Subsidiary has duly authorized the transfer of the Equity Securities issued by it in the event of a realization upon such
Equity Securities. 
 5.14 Capitalization. All issued and outstanding Equity Securities of Borrower and each Subsidiary are duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and such securities were issued in compliance with all applicable state, provincial and federal laws, as applicable, concerning the issuance of
securities. 
 5.15 Catastrophic Events; Labor Disputes. None of Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Property
is or has been affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or other casualty that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are
no disputes presently subject to grievance procedure, arbitration or litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, employment contracts or employee welfare or incentive plans to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party, and there
are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, jurisdictional disputes or organizing activity occurring or threatened which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.16 Certain Agreements of Officers, Employees and Consultants. 

  
 -25- 













 (a) No Violation. To the knowledge of Borrower, no officer, employee or consultant
of Borrower or any Subsidiary is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement, nondisclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement or any other material contract or agreement or any
restrictive covenant relating to the right of any such officer, employee or consultant to be employed by Borrower or such Subsidiary because of the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by Borrower or such Subsidiary or relating to the
use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and to Borrower’s knowledge, the continued employment of Borrower’s and each Subsidiary’s officers, employees and consultants does not subject Borrower to any material
liability for any claim or claims arising out of or in connection with any such contract, agreement, or covenant. 
 (b) No Present
Intention to Terminate. To the knowledge of Borrower, no officer of Borrower or any Subsidiary, and no employee or consultant of Borrower or any Subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, has any present intention of terminating his or her employment or consulting relationship with Borrower. 

5.17 No Plan Assets. Neither Borrower nor, to the extent applicable, any Subsidiary is an “employee benefit plan,” as defined
in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower or, to the extent applicable, any Subsidiary constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29
C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) neither Borrower nor, to the extent applicable, any Subsidiary is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and
(b) transactions by or with Borrower or, to the extent applicable, any Subsidiary are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement. 

5.18 Sanctions, Etc. None of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or, any director, officer, Affiliate of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of Borrower, no employee or agent of Borrower or any Subsidiary, is a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are, (a) the subject or target of any Sanctions or (b) located, organized or
resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and at all times throughout the term of this Agreement, including after giving effect to
any transfers of interests permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, none of the funds of Borrower, any Subsidiary or of their Affiliates have been (or will be) derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in the respective
party (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by applicable law or the Loans are in violation of applicable law. 
 5.19
Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not a “bank holding company” or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y thereunder of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not
engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin

for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. 
 5.20 Payment of Taxes. All federal and other material tax returns,
reports and statements (including any attachments thereto or amendments thereof) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries filed or required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed (or extensions have been obtained and such extensions have not
expired) and all taxes shown on such tax returns or otherwise due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which
are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, except for the payment of any such taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges which are being diligently contested by Borrower in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which adequate reserves have been made under GAAP. To the knowledge of Borrower, no tax return of Borrower or any Subsidiary is currently under an audit or examination, and Borrower has not received written notice of any proposed audit or
examination, in each case, where a material amount of tax is at issue. Borrower is not an “S corporation” within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. 

5.21 Non-Borrower Subsidiaries. If, as and when the Collateral Agent requires that a Subsidiary enter
into any Subsidiary Loan Documents, the execution and delivery to the Collateral Agent of the applicable Subsidiary Loan Documents shall constitute a joinder to the representations and warranties in this Section 5 with respect to such
Subsidiary and as to such Subsidiary Loan Documents, in each case as of the date of such delivery. 
 6. Affirmative Covenants.
Borrower, until the full and complete payment of the Obligations, covenants and agrees that:

good faith by appropriate proceedings which suspend the collection thereof (provided that such proceedings do not involve any substantial danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material item of Collateral or Collateral which in the aggregate
is material to Borrower and that Borrower has adequately bonded such amounts or reserves sufficient to discharge such amounts have been provided on the books of Borrower). In addition, Borrower shall not change, and shall not permit any Subsidiary

Borrower shall not permit any such material item of Collateral to become a fixture to real estate or an accession to other personal property, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent and each Lender. Borrower shall not permit any such
material item of Collateral to be operated or maintained in violation of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation. With respect to items of leased equipment (to the extent Collateral Agent and Lenders have any security interest in any

provide that the insurer must give Collateral Agent at least thirty (30) days’ notice before canceling its policy. At Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of
all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any property policy shall, at Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s option, be payable to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, or to Lenders on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any property policy, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that

security interest and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default all proceeds payable under such property policy shall, at the option of Collateral Agent or any Lender, be payable to Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, or to Lenders on account of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.8 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and
Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.8, and take any action under the policies Collateral Agent or any Lender

Subsidiary’s assets by the United States Government, or any department agency or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives
notice thereof; provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower. 

8.7 Service of Process. (a) The service of process upon Collateral Agent or any Lender seeking to attach by a trustee or other
process any funds of Borrower on deposit or otherwise held by Collateral Agent or such Lender, (b) the delivery upon Collateral Agent or any Lender of a notice of foreclosure by any Person seeking to attach or foreclose on any funds of Borrower

 8.8 Default on Indebtedness. One or more defaults shall exist under any agreement
with any third party or parties which consists of the failure to pay any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Subsidiary at maturity or which results in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of

 9. Lenders’ Rights
and Remedies. 
 9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, no Lender shall have any further
obligation to advance money or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent and each Lender shall have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party as
permitted by the 

  
 -35- 













 
Code, the PPSA, by law, and, in addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders, or any Lender may, at its election, without notice of election and
without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower: 
 (a) Acceleration of Obligations.
Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, including (i) any accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the amounts which would have otherwise come due under
Section 2.3(b)(ii) if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, (iii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder, immediately due and payable
(provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.13 or 8.14 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Collateral Agent or any Lender); 

(b) Protection of Collateral. Make such payments and do such acts as Collateral Agent or such Lender considers necessary or reasonable
to protect Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent or any Lender so requires and to make the Collateral available to Collateral Agent or Lenders as
Collateral Agent or any Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Collateral Agent, each Lender and their designees and agents to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of
it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which in Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s determination appears or is claimed to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection
therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Collateral Agent and each Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty
(120) days in order to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 

(c) Appointment of Receiver. Appoint in writing a receiver, receiver and manager or interim receiver (each a
“Receiver”) for all or any part of the Collateral who shall be vested with all of Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Any such Receiver, with respect to
responsibility for its acts, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law be deemed to be the agent of the Borrowers or a Borrower and not an agent of Collateral Agent or Lender. 

(d) Court Order for Receiver. Obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction and order for the appointment of a Receiver of the
Borrowers or a Borrower or of any or all of the Collateral. 
 (e) Preparation of Collateral for Sale. Ship, reclaim, recover, store,
finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Collateral Agent, each Lender and their agents and any purchasers at or after foreclosure are hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s
Intellectual Property, including labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or
acquired by Borrower or in which Borrower 

  
 -36- 













 
now or at any time hereafter has any rights; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral upon Collateral Agent’s or any
Lender’s exercise of its remedies hereunder; 
 (f) Sale of Collateral. Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale,
or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Collateral Agent or any Lender determines are commercially reasonable (and for purposes hereof,
ten (10) days’ notice of sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable); and 
 (g) Purchase of Collateral. Credit bid
and purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any public sale. Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. 

9.2 Set Off Right. Collateral Agent and each Lender may set off and apply to the Obligations any and all Indebtedness at any time owing
to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other assets of Borrower in Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s possession or control. 

9.3 Effect of Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at
any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of
competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally
permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of Borrower, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part
thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
and delegated to Collateral Agent or any Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower,
its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns. 

9.4 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Lender
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution and in its name to file any notices of security interests, financing statements and continuations and


  
 -37- 













 
amendments thereof pursuant to the Code, the PPSA or federal law, as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interests in
the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower, with full
power of substitution and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a
security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Collateral Agent or such Lender were Borrower itself; (b) to receive payment of and to
endorse the name of Borrower to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s possession or under Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s
control; (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral; (d) in Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings,
either in its own name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, which Collateral Agent or such Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Collateral Agent and Lenders in and to the
Collateral; (e) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (f) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (g) make, settle, and
adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent or Lenders determine reasonable; (i) transfer
the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent, any Lender or a third party as the Code or the PPSA permits; and (j) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Collateral Agent or such Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.

 9.5 Lenders’ Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or
entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Collateral Agent or any Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type
discussed in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Collateral Agent or any Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Collateral Agent or any Lender shall constitute
Lenders’ Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Collateral Agent or any Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Collateral Agent
or any Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Collateral Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses, incurred by
Collateral Agent or any Lender in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due. 
 9.6
Remedies Cumulative; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Collateral Agent and
each Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, the PPSA, by law, or in equity. No failure on the part of Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The Obligations of Borrower to any Lender or
Collateral Agent may 

  
 -38- 













 
be enforced by such Lender or Collateral Agent against Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
it shall not be necessary for Collateral Agent or any other Lender, as applicable, to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding to enforce such Obligations. 

9.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the
avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Collateral Agent or any Lender, at the time of or received by Collateral Agent or any Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and
applied as follows: 
 (a) First, to the payment of
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the
exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Collateral Agent or any Lender, including Lenders’
Expenses; 
 (b) Second, to the payment to Lenders of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid
interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans
(provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then first, to the unpaid interest thereon ratably, second, to the amounts which would have
otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii) ratably, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, third, to the principal balance of the Loans ratably, and fourth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then
payable to Lenders under any of the Loan Documents); and 
 (c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its
successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same. 
 9.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Collateral Agent or
any Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Collateral Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to
the security interest created under this Agreement. 
 10. Waivers; Indemnification. 

10.1 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, 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 at any time held by Collateral Agent or any Lender on which Borrower
may in any way be liable. 
 10.2 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and each Lender comply with
their obligations, if any, under the Code or the PPSA or other corresponding law of 

  
 -39- 













 
other jurisdictions (and do not engage in intentional misconduct or gross negligence), neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:
(a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause other than Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower in the absence
of intentional misconduct or gross negligence by the Collateral Agent. 
 10.3 Indemnification and Waiver. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated: 
 (a) General Indemnity. Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse
Collateral Agent and each Lender for all liabilities, obligations and out-of-pocket expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for Collateral Agent and each Lender from time to time arising in connection with the enforcement or collection of sums due under the Loan Documents, and in connection with any amendment or modification of the Loan Documents or any “work-out” in connection with the Loan Documents. Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Collateral Agent, each Lender, and each of their respective successors, assigns, agents, attorneys, officers,
directors, equity holders, servants, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, suits, demands, claims of any kind and nature (including claims relating
to environmental discharge, cleanup or compliance), all costs and expenses whatsoever to the extent they may be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), fines,
penalties (and other charges of any applicable Governmental Authority), licensing fees relating to any item of Collateral, damage to or loss of use of property (including consequential or special damages to third parties or damages to
Borrower’s property), or bodily injury to or death of any person (including any agent or employee of Borrower) (each, a “Claim”), directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of the use of the proceeds of the Loans or
otherwise, the falsity of any representation or warranty of Borrower or Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing indemnity shall cover, without limitation, (i) any Claim in
connection with a design or other defect (latent or patent) in any item of equipment or product included in the Collateral, (ii) any Claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, (iii) any
Claim resulting from the presence on or under or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release of any Hazardous Materials on the premises owned, occupied or leased by Borrower, including any Claims asserted or arising under
any Environmental Law, (iv) any Claim for negligence or strict or absolute liability in tort or (v) any Claim asserted as to or arising under any Account Control Agreement or any Landlord Agreement; provided, however, Borrower shall
not indemnify any Indemnified Person for any liability incurred by such Indemnified Person as a direct and sole result of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnities shall continue in full force and
effect, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s written demand, Borrower shall assume and diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Collateral
Agent and Lenders, each of their members, partners, and each of their respective, agents, employees, directors, officers, equity holders, successors and assigns against any indemnified Claim described in this
Section 10.3(a). Borrower shall not settle or compromise 

  
 -40- 













 
any Claim against or involving Collateral Agent or any Lender without first obtaining Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s written consent thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 (b) Waiver. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BORROWER
AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. 

(c) Survival; Defense. The obligations in this Section 10.3 shall survive payment of all other Obligations
pursuant to Section 12.8. At the election of any Indemnified Person, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person’s reasonable discretion, at
the sole cost and expense of Borrower. All amounts owing under this Section 10.3 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand. 

11. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without each Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in each
Lender’s sole discretion. Each Lender shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in such Lender’s rights and
benefits hereunder. Collateral Agent and each Lender may disclose the Loan Documents and any other financial or other information relating to Borrower to any potential participant or assignee of any of the Loans; provided that such
participant or assignee agrees to protect the confidentiality of such documents and information using the same measures that it uses to protect its own confidential information. 

12.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement. 

12.3 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for
the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
 12.4 Entire Agreement; Construction; Amendments and
Waivers. 
 (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, taken together, constitute and contain the
entire agreement among Borrower, Collateral Agent and Lenders and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter
hereof. Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying on any representation or agreement made by Collateral Agent, any Lender or any employee, attorney or agent thereof, other than the specific agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Loan
Documents. 
 (b) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of Borrower,
Collateral Agent and each Lender as of the date hereof and their respective counsel; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against Borrower, Collateral
Agent or any Lender. Borrower, Collateral Agent and Lenders agree that they intend the literal words of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that no parol evidence shall be necessary or appropriate to establish Borrower’s, Collateral
Agent’s or any Lender’s actual intentions. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. Any and all discharges or waivers of, or consents
to any departures from any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents shall not be effective without the written consent of each Lender; provided that no such discharge, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties
of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all amendments and modifications of this Agreement or of any of the


  
 -42- 













 
other Loan Documents shall not be effective without the written consent of each Lender and Borrower; provided that no such amendment or modification affecting the rights or duties of the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification,
waiver or consent affected in accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be binding upon Collateral Agent, Lenders and on Borrower. 

12.5 Reliance by Lender. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by Borrower shall be deemed to be
material to and to have been relied upon by Collateral Agent and Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation by Collateral Agent or any Lender. 

12.6 No Set-Offs by Borrower. All sums payable by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents shall be payable without notice or demand and shall be payable in United States Dollars without set-off or reduction of any manner whatsoever. 

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts
(including signatures delivered by electronic means), each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 

12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as
any Obligations or commitment to fund remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Collateral Agent and Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 10.3
shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Collateral Agent or any Lender have run. 

13. Relationship of Parties. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge, understand and agree that the relationship between Borrower, on the one
hand, and Lenders, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain solely that of a borrower and lender. No Lender shall, under any circumstances, be construed to be a partner or a joint venturer of Borrower or any of its Affiliates; nor shall any
Lender, under any circumstances, be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty or any other duty to Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any of its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform Borrower or any of its Affiliates of any
matter in connection with its or their Property, any Collateral held by Collateral Agent or any Lender or the operations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Borrower and each of its Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect
to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Collateral Agent and
Lenders and neither Borrower nor any Affiliate is entitled to rely thereon. 

  
 -43- 













 14. Confidentiality. All information (other than periodic reports filed by Borrower
with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by Borrower to Collateral Agent or any Lender in writing or through inspection pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential shall be considered confidential. Collateral Agent and each
Lender agrees to use the same degree of care to safeguard and prevent disclosure of such confidential information as Collateral Agent and such Lender uses with its own confidential information, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of
care. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall disclose such information to any third party (other than (a) to another party hereto, (b) to Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s members, partners, attorneys, governmental
regulators (including any self-regulatory authority) or auditors, (c) to Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s subsidiaries and affiliates, (d) on a confidential basis, to any rating agency, (e) to prospective transferees and
purchasers of the Loans or any actual or prospective party (or its Affiliates) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations, Borrower, any Loan Document or any payment thereunder,
all subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein or (f) as required by law, regulation, subpoena or other order to be disclosed) and shall use such information only for purposes of evaluation of its investment in Borrower and
the exercise of Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and the enforcement of its remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (i) was known
to the public prior to disclosure by Borrower under this Agreement, (ii) becomes known to the public through no fault of Collateral Agent or any Lender, (iii) is disclosed to Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis by a third party or (iv) is independently developed by Collateral Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ agreement of
confidentiality shall not apply if Collateral Agent or any Lender has acquired indefeasible title to any Collateral or in connection with any enforcement or exercise of Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies under this
Agreement following an Event of Default, including the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. 

15. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE TERMS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATION LAWS, EACH OF BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT AND
LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF
DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. 
 16. Cross-Guaranty of
Co-Borrowers. 
 16.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower (solely for purposes of this
Section 16, a “Co-Borrower”) hereby agrees that such Co-Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and 

  
 -44- 













 
performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower
agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 16 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in
full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 16 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by: 

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Co-Borrower is or may become a party; 

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 16) or any other Loan Document, or
the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions hereof or thereof; 
 (c) the existence, value or condition of, or
failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); 

(d) the insolvency of any Co-Borrower or any other Person; or 

(e) the current or future existence of other guarantors, including any of the Subsidiaries, and the Lenders’ or the Collateral
Agent’s dealings with such other guarantors, including any release of one or more of such guarantors; 
 (f) to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a surety or guarantor. 

Each Co-Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with
respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder. 
 16.2 Waivers by Co- Borrowers. Each Co-Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, at law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the
Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Co-Borrower, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to
proceeding against, such Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower and the Lender agrees that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 16 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement. 

16.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Co-Borrower agrees that the provisions of this
Section 16 are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Co-Borrower and the
Lender, the obligations of such other Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents. 

  
 -45- 













 16.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 16.7, each Co-Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly
paid in full in cash. Each Co-Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Co-Borrower’s liability hereunder or the
enforceability of this Section 16, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 16. 

16.5 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving
Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Co-Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Lender
may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 16. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall
forfeit any of its rights or remedies (including, without limitation, its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Co-Borrower or any other Person), whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the
like, each Co-Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation
that each Co-Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Co-Borrower shall not impair any other Co-Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or
trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The
amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether a Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining
balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 16, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of
reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale. 
 16.6
Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Co- Borrower’s liability under this Section 16 (which liability is in any event in
addition to amounts for which such Co-Borrower is primarily liable under this Agreement) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the lesser of: 

(a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Co-Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Co-Borrower; and 

(b) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Co-Borrower under this
Section 16 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute
or common law in any jurisdiction, or under the 

  
 -46- 













 
Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, in each case after taking into account, among other things, such
Co-Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Co-Borrower under Section 16.7. 

16.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations. 

(a) To the extent that any Co-Borrower shall make a payment under this
Section 16 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to such Co-Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into
account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Co-Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Co-Borrower would otherwise have paid if
each Co-Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Co-Borrower’s “Allocable Amount”
(as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Co-Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such
Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the commitments to lend hereunder, such Co-Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and
indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Co-Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor
Payment. 
 (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any
Co-Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Co-Borrower under this Section 16 without
rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. 

(c) This Section 16.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of
Co-Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 16.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Co-Borrowers, jointly and severally,
to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 16.7 shall limit the liability of any
Co-Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to such Co-Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Co-Borrower shall be primarily liable. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of
contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Co-Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Co-Borrowers against other
Co-Borrowers under this Section 16 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the commitments to lend hereunder. 

16.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Co-Borrowers under this
Section 16 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Co-Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Co-Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Co-Borrower, without any limitation as to 


  
 -47- 













 
amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
