 (b)
Voluntary Payments in Cash. Borrower may, at its option from time to time upon not less than three (3) days prior written notice to Lender, repay principal and accrued PIK Interest on the Loan, provided that the amount of any such

	4	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 

 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower
hereby grants Lender, to secure the prompt payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations of Borrower, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral described on Exhibit A hereto, wherever located, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times, the Collateral shall include all proceeds of all Intellectual Property of Borrower (whether acquired upon the sale, lease,
license, exchange or other disposition of such Intellectual Property) and all other rights arising out of such Intellectual Property. 

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall
at all times continue to be (i) a first priority perfected security interest in all present and future Intellectual Property of Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries, from the date hereof and continuing through the termination or expiration of
this Agreement, and (ii) a second priority perfected security interest in all other Collateral (in each case, subject only to Permitted Liens). If a Credit Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim involving an amount in excess of $50,000,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by Borrower and the applicable Credit Party of the general details thereof and grant to 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 reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 
 If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s
Lien in the applicable Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make the
Loan to Borrower has terminated, Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to the Credit Parties. 

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Credit Parties hereby authorize Lender to file financing statements and/or
statements containing particulars of charges, without notice to the Credit Parties, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by
the Credit Parties or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal
or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender’s discretion. 
  

	5	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization
in the State of Delaware and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Each other Credit Party is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in
which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has
delivered to Lender (or will deliver by the date specified in Section 6.15(a)) a completed certificate signed by Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Following the delivery of such Perfection Certificate, Borrower represents
and warrants to Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth
in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number; (d) except as set 

  
 -5- 








 
forth in written notice provided to Lender, as specified in Section 7.2(b) hereof, after the date of this Agreement, the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the Borrower’s
place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as the Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five
(5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific
provisions in this Agreement). 
 The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party
have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of such Credit Party’s organizational or constitutional documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law,
(iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which such Credit Party or any of such Credit Party’s Subsidiaries or any of their
property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained
and are in full force and effect) and or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which any Credit Party is bound. The Credit Parties are not in default under any agreement to which they, or any one of them, are a
party or by which they, or any one of them, are bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

5.2 Collateral Generally. Each Credit Party has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral
upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. The Credit Parties have no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Lender in
connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Lender notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Lender a perfected security interest therein.  

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate or as set
forth in written notice provided to Lender, as specified in Section 7.2(b) hereof, after the date of this Agreement. Except for (a) testing Equipment and Inventory maintained in the ordinary course of the Credit Parties’ business at
third party test houses and (b) Equipment and Inventory with an aggregate value of $250,000 which by its very nature is intended to be used, and in the ordinary course of business is used, at locations other than any Credit Party’s place
of business (such as laptop computers, marketing and trade show materials, cell phones, demonstration materials, materials made available to potential customers for proof-of concept trials, and co-location equipment), none of the components of the
Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. 
 All
Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality. 
 5.3 Intellectual Property Collateral. 

(a) All of the Intellectual Property Collateral registered in the United States of America is owned by the Borrower. Schedule 5.3 sets
forth a complete and correct list of all Intellectual Property owned by Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Each Credit Party 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 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 a Credit Party and noted on such Credit Party’s Perfection Certificate, except as set forth in a written notice provided to Lender, as specified in Section 6.8(b) hereof,
after the date of this Agreement. Each Patent which a Credit Party owns or purports to own and which is material to a Credit Party’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which a Credit Party owns or
purports to own and which is material to a Credit Party’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property
violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have caused a Material Adverse Change. 

(c) Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate or to the extent the Borrower has given Lender written notice, as specified in
Section 6.8(b) hereof, no Credit Party is a party to, nor is any Credit Party bound by, any Restricted License. 

  
 -6- 








 5.4 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate or as set forth in a
notice provided to Lender after the date of this Agreement, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against any or all of the Credit Parties, involving
more than, individually or in the aggregate, $500,000. 
 5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated
financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Lender fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any
material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender 

5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of
its liabilities; Borrower is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. 

5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower
has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary
company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. No Credit Party has violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Change. No Credit Party’s properties or assets have been used by any Credit Party or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any
hazardous substance other than legally. The Credit Parties have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their
respective businesses as currently conducted.  
 5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. No Credit Party owns any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 
 5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.
Borrower has timely filed, and has caused each Subsidiary to timely file, all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid, and has caused each Subsidiary to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments,
deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (b) notifies Lender in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from
obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and
payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted
partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 
 5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan
exclusively for development of Chipsets produced by Borrower pursuant to and under the terms of the Commercial Agreement. 
 5.11
Designation of Indebtedness under this Agreement as Senior Indebtedness. All principal of, interest (including all interest accruing after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is
allowable as a claim in any such proceeding), and all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts accrued or due under this Agreement constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under the terms of any indenture to which Borrower is a party.


  
 -7- 








 5.12 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of any Credit
Party in any certificate or written statement given to Lender, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Lender, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Lender that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good
faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results). 

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

 In the event any payments are received by Lender from Ikanos Singapore pursuant to this Agreement, such payments
will be made subject to applicable withholding for any taxes, levies, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law,
regulation or international agreement requires Ikanos Singapore to make any such deduction or withholding from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Lender, the amount due from Ikanos Singapore with respect to such payment or other sum
payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required deduction or withholding, Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deductions or withholding been
required, and Ikanos Singapore shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority to the extent that Lender does not have sufficient credits to offset the amount deducted or withheld. Ikanos Singapore shall
promptly furnish Lender with proof satisfactory to Lender indicating that Ikanos Singapore has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Ikanos Singapore need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such
withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Ikanos Singapore. The agreements and obligations of Ikanos Singapore contained in this provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement. 
 6.5 Insurance. Keep their business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard
for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Lender may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Lender. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss
payable endorsement showing Lender as the lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Lender. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Lender as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss payable and additional
insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall give Lender at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to renew its policy. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies
and evidence of all premium payments. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Lender’s option, be payable to Lender on account of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required
under this Section 6.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment, Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Lender deems prudent. 
 6.6 Operating Accounts. For each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower
shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect
Lender’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent in each instance (which consent may be granted, granted upon conditions or withheld
in Lender’s sole discretion) of Lender; provided that the foregoing requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to any Collateral Account which is maintained with SVB or which is subject to a Control Agreement in favor of
SVB. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Lender by
Borrower as such.

 -10- 








 (b) Provide written notice to Lender 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). Borrower shall take such steps as Lender reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is
necessary for (i) any such Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Lender 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, after giving effect to the anti-assignment provisions contained in Article 9 of the New York Commercial Code, and (ii) Lender to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to
dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

6.10 Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, Borrower shall make
available to Lender, without expense to Lender, Borrower, Borrower’s officers, employees and agents, and the Borrower’s Books, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or
proceeding instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower. 
 6.11 Access to Collateral; Books
and Records. At reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender, or its agents, shall have the right to, and the Credit Parties shall
allow Lender (or its agents) to, inspect the Collateral and audit and copy the Borrower’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense. 

6.12 Designated Senior Indebtedness. Designate all principal, all interest (including all interest accruing after the commencement of
any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowable as a claim in any such proceeding), and all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts accrued or due under this Agreement as “Designated Senior
Indebtedness”, or such similar term, in any future Subordinated Debt incurred by Borrower after the date hereof, with the same or similar rights as generally granted to Lender as a holder of “Designated Senior Indebtedness.”

 6.13 Further Assurances. Execute any further instruments and take further action as Lender reasonably requests to perfect or
continue Lender’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement. Deliver to Lender, within five (5) days after the same are sent or received, copies of all correspondence, reports, documents and other filings with any
Governmental Authority regarding compliance with or maintenance of Governmental Approvals or Requirements of Law or that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on any of the Governmental Approvals or otherwise on the operations of
any Credit Party. 
 6.14 Material Subsidiaries. For any Subsidiary not previously identified as a Borrower or Guarantor
hereunder and upon request by Lender, Borrower shall promptly cause any such Subsidiary determined by Lender to be a material Subsidiary (each a “Material Subsidiary” or collectively the “Material
Subsidiaries”) to become a Borrower or Guarantor hereunder, as selected by Lender, and to grant to Lender (i) a first priority perfected security in Intellectual Property owned by such Subsidiary and (ii) a second priority
perfected security interest in all other assets owned by such Subsidiary, to secure such obligation; provided that, in the case of foreign Subsidiaries, the duties and obligations imposed under this Section 6.14 in connection with such
foreign Subsidiary becoming a Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not exceed those imposed on existing foreign Borrowers or foreign Guarantors, as applicable, unless such additional duties and obligations would not have a material
adverse tax consequence on Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, any Guarantor shall be deemed to constitute a Material Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement. 

6.15 Post-Closing Covenants. 

(a) Within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Perfection Certificate of Borrower,
together with the duly executed original signatures thereto;

bailee, and Lender and such bailee are not already parties to a bailee agreement governing both the Collateral and the location to which Borrower intends to deliver the Collateral, then Borrower will first receive the prior written consent of

Borrower, except for (a) Permitted Transfers and (b) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s
length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject, or (b) amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt which would

Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, or permit any Credit Party

	9	LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

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

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for any Credit Party’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
one or more Credit Parties and Lender; 
 (c) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, settle or adjust disputes and claims
directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account; 

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the
Collateral. Borrower, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain
possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of
its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies; 
 (e) (i) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, apply to the Obligations of Borrower (A) any balances and deposits Borrower holds, or (B) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower and (ii) set off any amounts due to a Credit Party on
invoices under the Commercial Agreement against the Obligations; 
 (f) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, ship, reclaim,
recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, the Credit Parties’ labels, Patents,
Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any
Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9, each Credit Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit; 

  
 -15- 








 (g) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, deliver a notice of exclusive control,
any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 

(h) demand and receive a copy of Borrower’s Books; and 

(i) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at
law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against
Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance
policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and
(f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lender is under no further obligation to make the Loan hereunder.
Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s
obligation to make the Loan has terminated. 
 9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for
by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon within five (5) Business Days or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may obtain such insurance
or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower
with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of
Default. 
 9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Event of Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower’s account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other
disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations of Borrower in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall
remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option,
exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor. 

9.5 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable practices regarding the safekeeping of the
Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the
Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by one or more Credit
Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith from any other Credit Party or at a later time to demand
strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith from all Credit Parties. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the 

  
 -16- 








 
waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Both parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative. Lender and Credit Parties each have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s or Credit Parties’ exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude such party from
exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s or Credit Parties’ delay in exercising any remedy is not
a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 
 9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Credit Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which such Credit Party is liable.

 9.8 Borrower Liability. Each Credit Party waives (a) any right to require Lender to: (i) proceed against any other
Credit Party or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Credit Party or any security it holds
(including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Credit Party’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Credit Party irrevocably waives all
rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Credit Party to the rights of Lender under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other
Credit Party, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Credit Party with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that
