In consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows: 
 Article 1. THE LOANS. 
 Section 1.01 Commitment. 
  

	 	(a)	Tranche A Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Lenders agree to advance to Borrowers (the “Tranche A
Advances”) from time to time on or prior to April 30, 2008, one or more term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Tranche A Commitment”).


  

	 	(b)	Tranche B Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Lenders agree to advance to Borrowers (the “Tranche B
Advances”, and together with the Tranche A Advances, the “Advances”), jointly and severally, from time to time on or prior to October 31, 2008, one or more term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up
to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Tranche B Commitment”). 

  

	 	(c)	Advances shall be made not more often than monthly in amounts of no less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) provided that if there is less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) available to be borrowed under this Section 1.01, then such Advance shall not be less than the available principal amount to be borrowed. Borrowers may prepay Advances in accordance with Section 1.02(d).


 Section 1.02 Interest and Payments. 

 

	 	(a)	Interest. 

  

	 	(i)	Tranche A Advances. Borrowers shall pay interest in advance on the unpaid principal amount of each Tranche A Advance from the date of such Advance until such
Advance is paid in full, at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate determined as of the date of such Advance plus one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points, based upon a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.


  

	 	(ii)	Tranche B Advances. Borrowers shall pay interest in advance on the unpaid principal amount of each Tranche B Advance from the date of such Advance until such
Advance is paid in full, at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate determined as of the date of such Advance plus two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points, based upon a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.










	 	(iii)	If Borrowers pay interest on any Advance which is determined to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of each interest payment representing an
amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of the Advances. 

  

	 	(b)	Payments of Principal and Interest. For each Advance, Borrowers shall make six (6) equal payments of interest only (payable in advance) on the first
Business Day of each month (each a “Payment Date”) beginning on the first Payment Date occurring after the Funding Date. Thereafter, Borrower shall make thirty (30) equal payments of principal and interest (payable in
advance) on each Payment Date until the Advance is paid in full. The amount of each such payment shall be sufficient to fully amortize the principal and interest due on the applicable Advance over such thirty (30) month period.


  

	 	(c)	Interim Interest Payment. For each Advance, unless the Funding Date is a Payment Date, Borrower shall make an advance payment of interest at the otherwise
applicable rate referred to in Section 1.02(a) on the Funding Date for the period from the Funding Date to the first Payment Date. 

  

	 	(d)	Final Payment. 

  

	 	(i)	On the date on which the last payment is due under Section 1.02(b) with respect to each Tranche A Advance, Borrower shall pay to Agent, in addition to any
remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest and all other amounts previously due with respect to such Tranche A Advance, an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the original principal amount of such Tranche A Advance (each, a
“Tranche A Final Payment”). 

  

	 	(ii)	On the date on which the last payment is due under Section 1.02(b) with respect to each Tranche B Advance, Borrower shall pay to Agent, in addition to any
remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest and all other amounts previously due with respect to such Tranche B Advance, an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the original principal amount of such Tranche B Advance (each, a
“Tranche B Final Payment” and together with the Tranche A Final Payments, the “Final Payments”). 

  

	 	(e)	Prepayment. Upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, at any time, prepay the Advances, in whole or
in part in an amount of at least $500,000 of principal, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Advances being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through and including the date of such prepayment, plus the Final Payment with
respect to the Advance being prepaid (prorated, if applicable) plus any other amounts then due to Lenders provided, that if any Advance is prepaid (i) on or before the date that is 18 months from the Funding Date of such Advance, there will be
a 3% premium on the outstanding principal amount payable in conjunction with the prepayment and (ii) after the date that is 18 months from the Funding Date of such Advance, there will be a 1% premium on the outstanding principal amount payable
in conjunction with the prepayment.

Note setting forth the principal amount of such Advance and the payments due. Agent shall keep a record of the payments made under each Note on its books which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts paid under the Notes absent manifest
error. Any failure by Agent to obtain or retain such a Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers to pay amounts due hereunder with respect to an Advance.

	 	(c)	Notice and Disbursement. Whenever Borrowers desire Lenders to make an Advance, Borrowers shall notify Agent in writing at least ten (10) Business Days in
advance of the desired Funding Date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Lenders’ obligation to make Advances shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 (b). Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, each Lender shall disburse its pro rata portion of each Advance to the account of Company as specified in Section 10.06. 

 Section 1.04 Other Payment Terms. 
  

	 	(a)	Place and Manner. All regularly scheduled payments due to the Lenders shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s Primary
Operating Account. Borrowers shall make all other payments due to the Lenders in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, at the address for payments specified in Section 10.06. 


 

	 	(b)	Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due 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)	Default Rate. If any amounts required to be paid by Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including principal or interest
payable on the Advance, any fees or other amounts) remain unpaid after such amounts are due, Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding principal balance hereunder from the date due until such past due amounts are paid in full, at a

security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt payment of any and all Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations or any Obligations arising under the Warrant or
Section 10.20 hereof) and in order to secure prompt performance by each Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Transaction Documents. Subject only to Permitted Liens, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority
security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof. Notwithstanding termination of this Loan Agreement, Agent’s Lien on the
Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations or any Obligations arising under the Warrant or Section 10.20 hereof) are outstanding.

respects. 
 Section 5.11 Loss; Damage; Destruction and Seizure. 

 

	 	(a)	If while payment Obligations are outstanding any item of Collateral is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or seized by a Governmental Authority (an
“Event of Loss”), then, at the applicable Borrower’s option, either (i) Agent shall receive from the proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 5.06, from any award paid by the seizing Governmental
Authority or, to the extent not received from the proceeds of insurance or award or both, from such Borrower, on or before the next scheduled Payment Date succeeding such Event of Loss, an amount equal to the replacement value of the item of
Collateral subject to the Event of Loss which shall be held as additional Collateral for the Advance, or (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Borrower may use any such proceeds to purchase an item of Collateral to
replace the item of Collateral which was subject to the Event of Loss and such replacement Collateral shall become part of the Collateral. On the date of receipt by Agent of the amount specified hereinabove with respect to each such item of
Collateral subject to an Event of Loss, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall terminate as to such Collateral. Pending such Borrower’s election of the options set forth above, any proceeds of insurance maintained by Borrower with respect
to the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.06 and received by Borrower shall be paid to Agent promptly upon their receipt by Borrower. If any proceeds of insurance or awards received from Governmental Authorities are in excess of the amount owed
under this Section 5.11(a), Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount in excess of the amount to be held by Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 5.06 received by Agent or a Borrower with
respect to an item of Collateral the repair of which is practicable shall, at the election of such Borrower, be applied either to the repair or replacement of such Collateral or, upon Agent’s receipt of evidence of the repair or replacement of
the Collateral reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to the reimbursement of such Borrower for the cost of such repair or replacement. All replacement parts and equipment acquired by Borrower in replacement of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 5.11 shall immediately become part of the Collateral upon acquisition by Borrower. Borrowers shall take such actions and provide such documentation as may be reasonably requested by Agent to protect and preserve Agent’s first
priority security interest and otherwise to avoid any impairment of Agent’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in connection with such repair or replacement. 

 Section 5.12 Collateral Control. Borrowers shall not (i) terminate, waive or release any material right with respect to any Collateral, or (ii) remove any items of
Collateral from Borrowers’ facilities located at the address specified in Section 10.07 or on Schedule 1A, the locations specified on Schedule 2, or such other address agreed to in writing by Lender except as permitted by
Section 5.13.

hypothecate or create or permit to exist any Lien with respect to any of its or its Subsidiaries’ property, except for Permitted Liens, or (ii) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, collaterally assign, exchange, or otherwise dispose of
(collectively, a “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, other than Transfers: (A) of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, (B) of non-exclusive licenses,
or exclusive licenses limited to certain geographical territories or fields of use, and similar arrangements for the use of the property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries in connection with a bona fide business strategy, (C) of worn-out, obsolete
or surplus Equipment, or (D) by Borrower to its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 on an annual basis. 

Section 5.14 Mergers and Acquisitions. Without the prior written consent of Agent, (i) Company shall not be acquired by

 -9-









 
to which the holders of Company’s voting Equity Securities do not hold at least 50% of the voting power of Company or any resulting Person after such transaction or transactions, or through
the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, unless (A) the Obligations are assumed or guarantied by a Person which is the ultimate parent entity (the “Acquirer”) of the acquiring Person and (B) the Acquirer
is a creditworthy entity (as determined by Agent in its sole discretion) and (ii) no other Borrower shall cease to be wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by another Borrower.

Equity Securities (other than repurchases by Company pursuant to the terms of employee stock purchase plans, employee restricted stock agreements or similar arrangements in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year); (C) return
any capital to any holder of its Equity Securities as such; (D) make any distribution of assets, Equity Securities, obligations or securities to any holder of its Equity Securities as such; or (E) set apart any sum for any such purpose;

and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other Subsidiaries to make, distributions to the Company to the extent necessary to permit Borrowers to make payments under this Loan Agreement as those payments become due. 

Section 5.16 Indebtedness. No Borrower shall, nor shall it permit its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness. 
 Section 5.17 Investments. No Borrower shall, nor shall it
permit its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person other than Permitted Investments; or suffer or permit any Subsidiary to be a party to, or be bound by, an agreement that restricts such
Subsidiary from paying dividends or otherwise distributing property to such Borrower other than agreements with respect to Permitted Indebtedness entered into by Project Entities; provided that any such Project Entity shall be
permitted to pay dividends or other distributions to Borrower to the extent necessary to allow Borrower to make payments under this Loan Agreement as they come due. 
 Section 5.18 Transactions with Affiliates. No Borrower shall, nor shall it permit its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material
transaction with any Affiliate, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to such Borrower, or such Subsidiary, than would be obtained in an
arms’ length transaction with a non-affiliated Person; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (i) any transaction between a Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries or between any Subsidiaries that is not otherwise
prohibited by this Loan Agreement, (ii) reasonable and customary fees paid to members of the board of directors of a Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and (iii) compensation arrangements and benefit plans for officers and other employees of a

Indebtedness to officers, directors or shareholders.

 Section 5.21 New Subsidiaries. The Borrowers will cause each of their domestic
Subsidiaries hereafter formed or acquired to promptly, and in any event within 30 days of such formation or acquisition, execute and deliver to Agent a Borrower Joinder in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, to cause such Subsidiary to
become a Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, that a Subsidiary that is a special purpose entity that constructs, owns or operates a project or that is created in furtherance of project financing shall
not be required to become a Borrower hereunder so long as (a) such Subsidiary is not wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more Borrowers, or (b) adding such entity as a Borrower hereunder or the granting of a security interest
in all or substantially all of such Subsidiary’s personal property will result in, at the time of such addition or grant, as applicable, of a violation of, or default under, a contractual obligation (other than with an Affiliate or a
contractual obligation entered into with the intent to avoid the requirements of this Section) or other legal obligation of such Subsidiary or of any Borrower. The Borrowers and such Subsidiary shall fully cooperate with Lender and perform all
additional acts requested by Lender to effect the purposes of this Section 5.21, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of agreements, instruments, UCC-1 financing statements, documents, certificates and opinions all in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 
 Article 6. PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL BY AGENT. 

Should any Borrower fail or refuse to make any payment, perform or observe any other covenant, condition or obligation, or take any other
action which Borrower is obligated under any Transaction Document to make, perform, observe, take or do at the time or in the manner provided in any Transaction Document, then at Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or demand
upon Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation, covenant or condition in any Transaction Document, Agent may make, perform, observe, take or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Agent may deem necessary to protect its
security interest in or the value of the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing rights, each Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Agent (which appointment is coupled with an interest), the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Borrower
with full power of substitution, for it and in its name (i) to perform (but Agent shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Borrower or any third party for failure to perform) any act which Borrower is obligated by this Loan
Agreement to perform, (ii) 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 2.01 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Agent were Borrower itself, (iii) 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 Agent’s possession or under Agent’s control, (iv) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral,
(v) in Agent’s discretion, to file any claim or take any other action or institute proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, which Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and
preserve the right, title and interest of Agent in and to the Collateral, and (vi) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Agent were the outright owner of the Collateral; provided, however, that the power of attorney
herein granted shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default unless in Agent’s reasonable opinion immediate action is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral. Borrowers agree to
reimburse Agent upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, which Agent may incur while acting as any Borrower’s attorney in fact or otherwise under this Article 6, all of which costs and
expenses are included within the Obligations. 
 Article 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 

Section 7.01 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of
Default” under the Transaction Documents: 
  

	 	(a)	Failure to Pay. Any Borrower shall fail to pay when due any principal, interest or other payment required under the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other
Transaction Document on the date due and such payment shall not have been made within three (3) Business Days of the due date; or

contained in Sections 5.03, 5.05, or 5.11 through 5.21 hereof or (ii) any other term, covenant, or agreement contained in any Transaction Document (other than the other Events of Default specified in this Article 7) and such failure remains
unremedied for the earlier of twenty (20) days from (x) the date on which the Agent has given the Borrowers written notice of such failure and (y) the date on which the Borrowers knew or should have known of such failure; or


  

	 	(d)	Representations and Warranties. Any representation, warranty, certificate, or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of any
Borrower to Agent in writing in connection with this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or as an inducement to Agent or Lenders to enter into the Transaction Documents, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in
any material respect when made or furnished; or 

  

	 	(e)	Other Payment Obligations. Any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is not a Project Entity shall fail to make any payment when due under the terms of any
Indebtedness to be paid by such Person (excluding this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents but including any other Indebtedness of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Agent or any Lender) and such failure shall continue beyond
any period of grace provided with respect thereto, or shall default in the observance or performance of any other agreement, term or condition contained in any such Indebtedness, and the effect of such failure or default is to cause, or permit the
holder or holders thereof to cause Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more to become due prior to its stated date of maturity; or 


 

	 	(f)	Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is not a Project Entity shall (i) apply for or consent to the

its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding
commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of affecting any of the foregoing; or

Subsidiaries that is not a Project Entity or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or
discharged within thirty (30) days of commencement; or 

  

	 	(h)	Judgments. A final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be rendered against any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries that is not a Project Entity and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any judgment, writ, assessment, warrant of attachment, or

within thirty (30) days after issue or levy; or 


  
 -12-










	 	(i)	Transaction Documents. Any Transaction Document or any material term thereof shall cease to be, or be asserted by any Borrower not to be, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms or if the Liens of Agent in the Collateral shall cease to be or shall not be valid, first priority perfected Liens or any Borrower shall assert that such Liens are not
valid, first priority and perfected Liens. 

  

	 	(j)	Project Entities. The occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (e), (f), (g) or (h) with respect to any Project Entity and such event or events,

its Subsidiaries to pay or perform the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

 Article 8. AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 8.01 Rights of Agent
upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 7.01(f) and 7.01(g)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of
Default, Agent may, by written notice to Borrowers, declare all outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, the non-cancelable obligation to make each payment scheduled to be made under Sections 1.02 payable by Borrowers hereunder to be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence or existence
of any Event of Default described in Sections 7.01(f) and 7.01(g), immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, the non-cancelable obligation to make each payment scheduled to be made under Sections
1.02, payable by Borrowers hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to
the contrary notwithstanding. 
 Section 8.02 Rights Regarding Collateral. Borrowers agree that when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders or Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law and, in addition to and without limiting the foregoing, Lenders or Agent may,
at the election of Lenders, exercise any one or more or all, and in any order, of the remedies herein set forth, including the following: (i) Agent or Lenders, personally or by agents or attorneys, shall have the right (subject to compliance
with any applicable mandatory legal requirements) to require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent in California or to take immediate possession of the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter any premises of Borrowers, with or without notice, demand, process of law or legal procedure, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and search for, take
possession of, remove, keep and store the same, or use and operate or lease the same until sold; (ii) Agent or Lenders may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either
with or without taking possession and either before or after taking possession, without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, having first given notice of such sale by registered or certified mail to Borrowers once at least ten
(10) days prior to the date of such sale, and having first given any other notice which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at a private sale or at public auction, to the highest bidder, in one lot
as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as Lenders may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the location of the Collateral or any part thereof) designated in the notice referred to above.
Agent and its 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 8.02, to use, without
charge, Borrowers’ intellectual property that remains embedded or contained in the Collateral, including without limitation, 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 any Borrower or in which any Borrower now or at any time hereafter has any rights; provided,


  
 -13-









 
however, such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral upon Agent’s or Lenders’ exercise of their remedies hereunder. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, any such sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further published notice, and Borrowers,
Agent, Lenders, or the holder or holders of the Note, or of any interest therein, may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale; and (iii) Agent or Lenders may proceed to protect and enforce this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or
for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for any real property security or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment for the Obligations or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable
law. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Agent 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 Agent’s or Lenders’ rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise. 
 Section 8.03
Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, neither Agent nor Lenders shall in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner of fashion from any cause other than Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any diminution in the value thereof; or
(iv) 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 Borrowers. 

Section 8.04 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 Agent at the time of, or received by Agent after, the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(i) First, to the payment of reasonable 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 Agent or Lenders; (ii) Second, to the payment to Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Advance
Percentages of the amounts then owing or unpaid on the Notes, including each payment scheduled to be made under Sections 1.02(b), 1.02(c) and 1.02(d) of this Loan Agreement; (iii) Third, to the payment of other amounts then payable to Agent or
Lenders under any of the Transaction Documents; and (iv) Fourth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrowers, their successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received
by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lenders ratably for application to the payments of amounts due to the other Lenders. 
 Section 8.05 Reinstatement of Rights. If Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction 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), Agent shall be restored
to its former position and its rights hereunder with respect to the property subject to the security interest created under this Loan Agreement shall be reinstated. 
 Section 8.06 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens
upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with the California Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the
security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession or control of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any
such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly 

  
 -14-









 
upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. Each Borrower by its execution and
delivery of this Loan Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing. 
 Article 9. GUARANTY PROVISIONS. 

Section 9.01 Continuing Guaranty. Each Borrower unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Agent, on behalf of Lenders,
in lawful money of the United States, and to perform, as and when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise any and all Obligations. The liability of each Borrower hereunder is independent of the Obligations, and a separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower irrespective of whether action is brought against any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or whether any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the
Obligations is joined in any such action or actions. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. 
 Section 9.02
Authorized Actions. Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders, in its discretion, without notice to such Borrower, irrespective of any change in the financial condition of such Borrower, the other Borrowers or any other guarantor
of the Obligations since the date hereof, and without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Borrower hereunder, from time to time to (a) create new Obligations, renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the
time for payment or performance of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment or performance of the
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (d) purchase such security at public or private sale; (e) otherwise exercise any right or
remedy it may have against such Borrower, the other Borrowers, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any security, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale; (f) settle,
compromise with, release or substitute any one or more makers, endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations; and (g) assign the Obligations, including this guaranty, or the other Transaction Documents in whole or in part in accordance with the
terms of this Loan Agreement. 
 Section 9.03 Waivers. Each Borrower waives (a) any right to require Agent or
Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security received from any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or (iii) pursue any
other remedy in Agent’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the application by any Borrower of the proceeds of any borrowing; (c) any defense resulting from the absence, impairment or loss of any
right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any other Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any security, whether resulting from an election by Agent or Lenders to foreclose upon
security by nonjudicial sale, or otherwise; (d) any setoff or counterclaim of such Borrower or any defense which results from any disability or other defense of any Borrower or the cessation or stay of enforcement from any cause whatsoever of
the liability of any Borrower (including, without limitation, the lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document); (e) any right to exoneration of sureties which would otherwise be applicable; (f) so long as any Obligations
remain outstanding, any right of subrogation or reimbursement and, if there are any other guarantors of the Obligations, any right of contribution, and right to enforce any remedy which Agent or Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any
Borrower, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter received by Agent or Lenders; (g) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, notices delivered under this Loan Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, protests, notice of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations and notices of any public or private foreclosure sale; (h) the
benefit of any statute of limitations to the extent permitted by law; (i) any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium redemption or similar law or similar rights for marshalling; and (j) any right to be informed by Agent or
Lenders of the financial condition of any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any change therein or any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. Each Borrower has the ability and
assumes the responsibility for keeping informed of the 

  
 -15-









 
financial condition of any other Borrower and any other guarantors of the Obligations and of other circumstances affecting such nonpayment and nonperformance risks. 

Section 9.04 Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any indebtedness of such Borrower to any other Borrower to the
Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment of all Obligations before such Borrower receives payment of any indebtedness of any other Borrower to such Borrower. Any payments on such indebtedness of
any other Borrower to such Borrower, if Agent and Lenders so request, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for Agent and Lenders and be paid over to Agent on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of such Borrower under the other provisions of this guaranty. Agent and Lenders are authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in their discretion, (a) in the name of any Borrower, to
collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, indebtedness of any other Borrower to such Borrower and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Obligations, and (b) to require such Borrower (i) to collect and enforce, and to
submit claims in respect of, indebtedness of any other Borrower to such Borrower, and (ii) to pay any amounts received on such indebtedness to Agent for application to the Obligations.

affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder of Agent and the Lenders are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Agent or

in such writing.

or reimburse Agent and the Lenders for all liabilities, obligations and out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Agent and the Lenders, from time to time arising in connection with the enforcement or collection
of sums due under the Transaction Documents. Borrowers shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Agent and the Lenders and their permitted assigns, each of Agent’s, Lenders’ or their permitted assigns’ partners, and each of their respective
successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, shareholders, servants, agents and 

  
 -16-









 
employees 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
