PERFORMANCE BY SECURED PARTIES. 
 (a) Subject to
Section 6(b) below, Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Parties, and any officer or agent of Secured Parties, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full, irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its own name, from time to time, at the Secured
Parties’ discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, upon the written consent of the Majority Lenders, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments
which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Secured Parties, upon the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the power and right,
on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor to do the following: 
 (i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give
acquittances and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of Grantor, in its own name or otherwise to take possession of, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other

 10. 












 7. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
UPON DEFAULT. Beginning on the date which is ten (10) business days after any Event of Default shall have occurred and while such Event of Default is continuing: 

(a) Upon the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Secured Parties may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to them under this Security Agreement or the Notes all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Secured Parties, without
demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other person, may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store,
maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, shop, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided herein) the Collateral, and in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts
receivable pledged as Collateral, use any Trademark, Copyright, or process used or owned by Grantor and (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign,
give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at
any Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as they may deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Grantor further agrees, at the Majority Lenders’ request,
to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Parties at places which the Secured Parties shall reasonably select, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Secured Parties shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as provided in Section 7(e), below, with Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Grantor agrees that the Secured
Parties need not give more than twenty (20) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. 

(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at any time when Secured Parties shall
determine to exercise their right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as
so amended the “Act”), the Secured Parties may, in their discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the
Secured Parties may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 7(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Secured Parties may, in their discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of
registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will
represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this
Section 7(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then the Secured Parties


  
 11. 












 
shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in their discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), require that any sale hereunder
(including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as the Secured Parties may, in their discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in
compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws. 

(c) Grantor also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their rights and remedies hereunder. 
 (d) Grantor
hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. 

(e) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the
Secured Parties in the following order of priorities: 
 FIRST, to each Secured Party in an amount
sufficient to pay in full the costs of such Secured Party in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by any Secured Party in connection therewith,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees; 
 SECOND, to the Secured Parties in
amounts proportional to the Pro Rata share of the then unpaid Secured Obligations of each Secured Party; and 

FINALLY, upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to Grantor or its representatives, in
accordance with the UCC or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 (f) The costs of enforcing or pursuing any right or
remedy hereunder, including without limitation any repossession, sale, possession and management (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), and distribution shall be borne Pro Rata by the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party
shall reimburse each other Secured Party, as applicable, for its Pro Rata share of all such costs promptly upon demand. 
 8.
ACTIONS BY THE SECURED PARTIES AND AMENDMENTS. All actions, omissions and decisions of the Secured Parties hereunder or
any amendment of this Security Agreement or the Notes (each called herein an “Act of the Secured Parties”) shall be determined by and require the written consent of the Majority Lenders. Each Secured Party shall take such
actions and execute such documents as may be necessary to confirm or accomplish any Act of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of each affected Secured Party shall be necessary to do the following to any Note: 

(a) reduce the percentage of the principal and interest amount of Loans whose holders must consent to constitute Majority Lenders’
consent; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Loan; 

  
 12. 












 (c) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Loan; or 

(d) make any Loan payable in money other than that stated in the Note. 

9. UNEQUAL PAYMENT BY GRANTOR. Each Secured Party
agrees that if it shall obtain or receive, through the exercise of any right granted to the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement, under the Notes or by applicable law, including, but not limited to any right of set-off, any secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other security or interest, any payment or payments greater than its Pro Rata share of all Loans, as measured immediately prior to the
receipt of such payment or payments, then (a) such Secured Party shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from the other Secured Parties, a participation in the Loans of such other Secured Parties, so
that each Secured Party shall have received payments in proportion to its Pro Rata share immediately prior to such transactions and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Secured
Parties share the benefits of such payment on a Pro Rata basis. The term “Loan” as used in this paragraph shall include accrued interest thereon. 

10. INDEMNITY. Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Parties and their
officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses
in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by any Secured Party as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement (including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s
fees and expenses), except for losses arising from or out of such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 11.
REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor
become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations,
whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS. 

12.1 Waivers; Modifications. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or
amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Grantor and the Majority Lenders. Each Secured Party acknowledges that because this Security Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Majority Lenders, each Secured Party’s
rights hereunder may be amended or waived without such Secured Party’s consent. 

  
 13. 












 12.2 Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject to
Section 11 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations and the expiration or termination of any commitment of the Secured Parties to make Loans to
Grantor. 
 12.3 Successor and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon
the successors and assigns of Grantor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, any future holder of any of the Secured Obligations and their respective
successors and assigns. No sales of participations in the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein, and no sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein, shall in any manner affect the lien granted to the Secured Parties hereunder. 

12.4 Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, except to the
extent that the UCC provides for the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. 
 12.5 Counterparts; Facsimile or PDF
Copies. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, 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. Executed copies of the signature pages of this Security Agreement sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in Portable Document Format (“PDF”), or any similar format,
