 (v) all applications for any of the foregoing and all licenses with respect to any of
the foregoing; 
 (i) all commercial tort claims in existence on the date of this Agreement or at any time hereafter arising and identified
by the Debtor to Secured Party; 
 together with whatever is receivable or received when any of the foregoing or the proceeds thereof are sold, leased,
collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, including without limitation, all rights to payment, including returned premiums, with respect to any insurance relating to any of the foregoing,
any infringement claims or causes of action and all rights to payment with respect to any claim or cause of action affecting or relating to any of the foregoing.

Subsidiary of Debtor; or (c) equipment and related software encumbered by a Permitted Lien covered by paragraph (d) of the definition of Permitted Liens, and any rights of Debtor as licensee, to the extent the granting of a security
interest in such equipment or license rights (A) is prohibited by the terms of or would constitute a default under any agreement or document governing such equipment or license right (but only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under
applicable law), or (B) is contrary to applicable law; provided that, upon the cessation of any such restriction or prohibition, such equipment and/or license rights shall automatically become part of the Collateral; and provided
further that the provisions of this Section 1 shall in no case exclude from the definition of Collateral any accounts receivables, other rights to payment, general intangibles or proceeds of the disposition of any property. Except as

security interest therein to Secured Party (to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law), unless Debtor uses commercially reasonable efforts to have such prohibition removed, and in the event Debtor is not successful in having
such prohibition removed, Debtor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Secured Party. 
 Debtor agrees that this Agreement shall create
a continuing security interest in the Collateral which shall remain in effect until the payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations.

otherwise dispose of or transfer, any of the Collateral or any right or interest therein, except to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, or dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business. Debtor will maintain the
Collateral and will not incur or suffer to exist any Liens against the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

Commercial Tort Claims. Debtor will promptly notify the Security Party of the existence of and information regarding any commercial tort claim arising hereafter in a document authenticated by Debtor and confirming the grant of the security

 3. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The
failure of Debtor to pay when due any of the Secured Obligations, or to perform any of its other obligations under any of the Loan Documents, in each case after any period of grace as provided in the Loan Documents, or any material misrepresentation
by Debtor in or made in connection with any Loan Document, or the occurrence of any other “Event of Default” as defined in any of the Loan Documents, shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder. 
 4. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due
and payable, and Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law; provided, however, if any Event of Default occurs as a consequence of the commencement of a bankruptcy or other insolvency
proceeding by or against Debtor, all of the 
  

 5 








 Secured Obligations shall be automatically and immediately due and payable without further action or demand. Without
limiting the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the right, itself or through any of its agents, with or without notice to Debtor, as to any or all of the Collateral, by any available judicial procedure, or without judicial process (provided,
however, that it is in compliance with applicable law), to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, either at public or
private sale, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations, and upon such terms and conditions, all as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, and it shall have the right to purchase at
any such sale. Debtor agrees that a notice sent at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be reasonable notice of
such sale or other disposition. The proceeds of any such sale, or other Collateral disposition shall be applied first to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and to attorneys’
fees and legal expenses of Secured Party, and then to the Secured Obligations and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which Secured Party shall account to Debtor for any surplus proceeds. The rights and remedies
with respect to Debtor and the Collateral, whether established hereby or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided under any other agreement, instrument or document to which Debtor is a party or by which it or any of the Collateral is bound or by law or equity. 
 5. LICENSE. Debtor grants to Secured Party, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, a fully paid and royalty free license, exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to use any and all of the Intellectual Property Collateral as may be reasonably necessary to permit the exercise of any of Secured Party’s rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral. 
 6. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Debtor will upon request promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action that Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect and maintain the priority of the security interest granted by this Agreement and to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
under this Agreement. 
 7. WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives (a) the right to require Secured Party to proceed against any
other person or against any other collateral it may hold; (b) presentment, protest and notice of protest, demand and notice of nonpayment, demand of performance, notice of sale, and advertisement of sale, (c) following an Event of Default,
any right to the benefit of or to direct the application of any of the Collateral until the obligations of Debtor shall have been paid in full, and (d) any defenses which may arise by reason of, or be based on, lack of diligence in collection.

 8. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Debtor agrees to pay the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, which may be incurred by Secured Party in connection with the negotiation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the protection of a Secured Party’s rights hereunder, whether or not legal action is instituted or filed.

 9. No Waiver. Any acceptance of partial or delinquent payments or failure of Secured Party to exercise any right shall not waive any
obligation of Debtor or right of Secured Party or modify this Agreement or waive any similar default. 
  

 6 








 10. ASSIGNABILITY. Secured Party may assign its rights under this Agreement and in the
Collateral to anyone at any time. This Agreement shall be binding on Debtor and its successors and assigns, and shall benefit Secured Party and its successors and assigns. 
 11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein and therein contain the entire security
agreement between Secured Party and Debtor. This Agreement may only be amended, waived, discharged or terminated by a written instrument signed by the Company and Secured Party. 
 12. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. 
 13. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided, all
notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given upon receipt or, if earlier, (i) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S.
postal service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (ii) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (iii) one (1) business day after the day of deposit with Federal Express or similar

furnished the other in writing: 
 14. INDEMNITY. Debtor hereby indemnifies Secured Party, its principals and agents (the
“Indemnified Parties”) for, and agrees to protect and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees), causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature or description whatsoever, which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party (other than as a result of such Indemnified
Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a result of the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (a) the grant to Secured Party of any interest in or to any of the Collateral, and (b) any infringement or claim of
infringement by any person or entity with respect to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, or any claim that any of the Intellectual Property Collateral misappropriates any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual
property right of any third party, or breaches any agreement of Debtor with any third party. 
 15. SEVERABILITY. If any
provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be contrary to public policy or shall for any reason be held to be invalid, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed to be separable from the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, and shall in no way affect the validity of any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 16. HEADINGS.
Captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be deemed part of this Agreement. 
 17.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which when taken together shall constitute one document.
