 10. Remedies and Related Rights. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, and without
limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to Secured Party, Secured Party may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section. 
 (a) Remedies. Secured Party may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly
provided in any of the Loan Documents: 
 (i) exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral); 
 (ii) require Debtor to, and Debtor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party, assemble the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to
both parties; 
 (iii) reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security
interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure; 
 (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the
premises of Debtor or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust
Secured Party’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other
disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral; 
 (v) buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at
any public sale; 
 (vi) buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; 
 (vii) apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and 
 (viii) at its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Secured Party is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise, to the full extent permitted by the Code, Secured Party
shall be permitted to elect whether such retention shall be in full or partial satisfaction of the Indebtedness. 
 In the event Secured
Party shall elect to sell the Collateral, Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as and shall be permitted to specifically disclaim any

warranties of title or the like. Further, if Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by
the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the Indebtedness. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Debtor agrees
that in the event Debtor or any Obligor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such
notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at such party’s address set forth on the first page hereof, ten (10) days prior to the date of any public sale,
or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
 (b) Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Secured Party may at its discretion apply or use any cash
held by Secured Party as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as
Secured Party may elect: 
 (i) to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Secured Party in connection with (A) the administration of the Loan Documents, (B) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, the Collateral, and (C) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder; 
 (ii) to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral; 
 (iii) to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness; 
 (iv) by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral; 

(v) to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law (including without limitation, Section 9.615(a)(3) of the Code
or any other applicable statutory provision); and 
 (vi) by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to
receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. 
 (c)
Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Secured Party are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is legally entitled, Obligor
and any party who guaranteed or is otherwise obligated to pay all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents, to the full extent permitted by the Code.

 (d) Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Secured Party the power to enforce its
rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process. Debtor
recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party or Debtor
from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option. 
 (e) Other Recourse. Debtor waives any right to
require Secured Party to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Indebtedness, or to have any third party joined with Debtor in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents, or
pursue any other remedy available to Secured Party. Debtor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension of the Indebtedness. Debtor further waives any
defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party. Until all of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Debtor shall
have no right of subrogation and Debtor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Secured Party has or may hereafter have against any third party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or
hereafter held by Secured Party. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, and without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Indebtedness to (i) take or
hold any other property of any type from any third party as security for the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property, (ii) apply such other property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as Secured Party may in its discretion determine, (iii) renew, extend, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the Indebtedness or other security for the Indebtedness, (iv) waive, enforce or modify any of the provisions of
any of the Loan Documents executed by any third party, and (v) release or substitute any third party. 
 11. Indemnity. As
provided in the Code, Debtor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Secured Party, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any
Indemnified Person arising in connection with the Loan Documents, the Indebtedness or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the defense of any Indemnified Person’s actions and/or inactions in
connection with the Loan Documents), WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIMS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, except to the extent the Claims are
proximately caused by such Indemnified Party’s individual

gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity who is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder. 
 12.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of Secured Party and
Debtor with respect to the Collateral. If the parties hereto are parties to any prior agreement, either written or oral, relating to the Collateral, the terms of this Agreement shall amend and supersede the terms of such prior agreements as to
transactions on or after the effective date of this Agreement, but all security agreements, financing statements, guaranties, other contracts and notices for the benefit of Secured Party shall continue in full force and effect to secure the
Indebtedness unless Secured Party specifically releases its rights thereunder by separate release. 
 (b) Amendment. No
modification, consent or amendment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is authenticated by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced, except to the extent of
amendments specifically permitted by the Code without authentication by the Debtor or Obligor. 
 (c) Actions by Secured
Party. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Secured Party hereunder shall not be impaired by (i) any renewal, extension, increase or modification with respect to the Indebtedness, (ii) any surrender, compromise,
release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Secured Party may grant with respect to the Collateral, or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of the Indebtedness. The taking of additional
security by Secured Party shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security rights of Secured Party hereunder or affect the obligations of Debtor hereunder. 
 (d) Waiver by Secured Party. Secured Party may waive any Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of
Default. Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither the failure by Secured Party to exercise, nor the delay by Secured Party in exercising, any right or remedy upon any Event of Default shall be
construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time. No waiver of any provision hereof or consent to any departure by Debtor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by Secured Party and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall of itself entitle
Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (e) Costs and Expenses. Debtor
will upon demand pay to Secured Party the amount of any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees
