As previously disclosed, on December 21, 2022, IsoPlexis Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IsoPlexis"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Berkeley Lights, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Berkeley Lights"), and Iceland Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkeley Lights ("Merger Sub"), which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into IsoPlexis (the "Merger"), with IsoPlexis surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkeley Lights.

On March 21, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Merger was consummated. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and IsoPlexis survived the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkeley Lights.

#### Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On the Closing Date, IsoPlexis entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "PhenomeX Credit Agreement") with PhenomeX, as borrower, East West Bank, a California banking corporation ("East West Bank"), as lender, and the other parties thereto, which amends and restates that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2022 (the "Existing Berkeley Lights Credit Agreement"), by and among PhenomeX, as borrower, East West Bank, as lender, and the other parties thereto, to (i) continue certain existing term loan indebtedness of Berkeley Lights under the Existing Berkeley Lights Credit Agreement, (ii) increase the term loan under the Existing Berkeley Lights Credit Agreement by $50 million, such that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loan thereunder is $70 million, and (iii) repay $50 million of indebtedness of IsoPlexis under the IsoPlexis Credit Agreement (as defined below). In connection with the Berkeley Lights Credit Agreement, IsoPlexis has guaranteed the obligations of PhenomeX under the PhenomeX Credit Agreement and provided a security interest in assets of IsoPlexis as provided in the PhenomeX Credit Agreement.

The PhenomeX Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on mergers, asset sales, liens, investments and indebtedness.

The foregoing description of the PhenomeX Credit Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the PhenomeX Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

IsoPlexis incurred prepayment fees of approximately $2.0 million related to the termination of the IsoPlexis Credit Agreement. Perceptive and certain of its affiliates were stockholders of IsoPlexis immediately prior to the Effective Time and, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, became stockholders of Berkeley Lights immediately following the Effective Time.

------

In addition, at the Effective Time, (i) outstanding IsoPlexis stock options (whether vested or unvested) held by continuing employees (a) if the per-share exercise price was equal to or greater than the average closing trading price for a share of IsoPlexis Common Stock rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a cent, as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") for the five most recent trading days ending on and including the third business day prior to the Effective Time (the "Company Trading Price"), were canceled for no consideration and (b) if the per-share exercise price was less than the Company Trading Price, were converted into Berkeley Lights stock options of approximately equivalent value and generally on the same terms and conditions applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) outstanding IsoPlexis stock options held by IsoPlexis service providers (other than continuing employees) that were (a) vested and unexercised or (b) vested solely as a result of the consummation of the Merger were, in each case, exercisable prior to the Effective Time and, to the extent unexercised at the Effective Time, canceled for no consideration, (iii) outstanding IsoPlexis restricted shares were converted into restricted shares of Berkeley Lights Common Stock generally on the same terms and conditions applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iv) the outstanding warrant for shares of IsoPlexis Common Stock issued by IsoPlexis to Perceptive became exercisable for the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Certificate, dated March 30, 2022, between IsoPlexis and Perceptive.

#### AMENDED AND RESTATED

#### CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

#### OF

#### ISOPLEXIS CORPORATION
***FIRST***: The name of the corporation is IsoPlexis Corporation (the "<u>Corporation</u>").

***SECOND***: The address of the Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware is 3500 South Dupont Highway, in the City of Dover, Delaware 19901, County of Kent. The name of the Corporation's registered agent at such address is Incorporating Services, Ltd.

***THIRD***: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "<u>DGCL</u>").

***FOURTH***: The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,000 shares, which shall be designated common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

***FIFTH***: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

<br> (1) The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such as from time to time shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the by-laws. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws so provide.

<sup>(2)</sup> The Board of Directors shall have powers without the assent or vote of the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation; to fix and vary the amount to be reserved for any proper purpose; to authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and liens upon all or any part of the property of the Corporation; to determine the use and disposition of any surplus or net profits; and to fix the times for the declaration and payment of dividends.<br>

<sup>(3)</sup> The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors' interest, or for any other reason.<br>

------

<sup>(4)</sup> In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this certificate, and to any by-laws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no by-laws so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such by-law had not been made.<br>

***SIXTH***: Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "<u>proceeding</u>"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (1) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

------

<sup>(1)</sup> If a claim under the foregoing paragraph is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.<br>

<sup>(2)</sup> The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.<br>

<sup>(3)</sup> The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.<br>

***SEVENTH***: To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader exculpation than permitted prior thereto), no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through provisions in the By-laws, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article ***SEVENTH*** shall not (a) adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer or agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any act, omission or other matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification or (b) increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director, officer or agent occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

***EIGHTH***: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, repeal and/or add to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation in any manner now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL and all rights conferred upon directors, officers, employees or agents hereby are subject to this reservation except as otherwise provided in Article ***SEVENTH***.

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make an additional term loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in the original principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (the "Closing Date Term Loan"; the Outstanding Original Term Loan Balance, taken together and treated as a single loan herein referred to as the "Term Loan"), such that the outstanding Term Loan on the Closing Date after giving effect to this Agreement and the extension of credit hereunder shall equal Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000).

The Term Loan, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Bank Products</u>. Borrower may request, and Bank or its affiliates may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide, Bank Products. If Borrower requests Bank or its affiliates to procure or provide Bank Products, then Borrower agrees with Bank or such affiliates, as applicable, to pay when due all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations with respect to Bank Products and further agrees to indemnify and hold Bank or such affiliates harmless from any and all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) now or hereafter owing to or incurred by Bank (including those under agreements of indemnifications or assurances provided by Bank to its affiliates) or its affiliates with respect to Bank Products, all as the same may arise. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations with respect to Bank Products provided by Bank or its affiliates, and all of its agreements under this <u>Section 2.1(c)</u>, are part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and (b) the obtaining of Bank Products from Bank or its affiliates, (i) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank and its applicable affiliates and (ii) is subject to all rules and regulations of Bank and its applicable affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [*Reserved*].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Interest Rate</u>. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Loan shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus one-half of one percent (0.50%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Late Fee; Default Rate</u>. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. At Bank's election, all Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Payments</u>. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the first (1st) calendar day of each month during the term hereof (commencing as of May 1, 2023). Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest and all Periodic Payments, in each case if and when due, against, first, a deposit account designated by Borrower in writing, and second, if insufficient funds remain in such account, any of Borrower's other Deposit Accounts, in which case those amounts shall, to the extent not satisfied in full after charging such remaining amounts to such other Deposit Accounts, thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that any and all interest on the "Credit Extensions" under, and as defined in, the Original Agreement that is accrued and unpaid as of the Closing Date, shall be Obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall constitute accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of the Closing Date, and shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u> </u><u>Application of Payments</u>. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments made hereunder will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest as shown on the most recent statement or bill provided to Borrower (if no statement or bill has been provided for any reason, it shall be applied to the unpaid interest accrued since the last payment); then to principal; then to any late charges; then to any unpaid collection costs, then to any other Obligations until Paid in Full and Bank has no further obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement and then to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. Borrower will pay Bank at Bank's address set forth in Section 10 or at such other place as Bank may designate in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Computation</u>. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Crediting Payments</u>. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such Deposit Account or Obligation as Borrower specifies in writing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fees</u>. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Term Loan Facility Fee</u>. On the Closing Date, a term loan facility fee equal to Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), which shall be nonrefundable when paid.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Bank Expenses</u>. All Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, less any amounts paid specifically for Bank Expenses prior to such invoicing, shall be paid on the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, promptly after receiving an invoice from Bank, all Bank Expenses shall be paid as and when requested by Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Early Termination Fee</u>. A fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of any prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan with respect to any prepayment made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date; <u>provided</u>, that no such fee shall be required in respect of any prepayment that occurs on or after the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Additional Costs</u>. If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "<u>Bank's Parent</u>") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or Bank's Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower of an executed certificate from Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank for such reduction, Borrower shall pay to Bank such amounts so certified to it (other than any amounts with respect to (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) (including pursuant to Basel III) shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law for purposes of this Agreement, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. The above-described certificate from Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2.6 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section 2.6 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided</u> that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Withholding</u>. Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Loan Party shall be required by any applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions, (ii) the Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and promptly furnish to Bank a certified receipt or other evidence of such payment, and (iii) if the Tax required to be withheld is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(a)), Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Obligation to Pay</u>. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.7(a), each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Indemnity</u>. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Bank, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this this Section 2.7) paid by, or imposed on, Bank (or its Affiliates) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including reasonable attorneys' and tax advisors' fees and expenses), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Receipts</u>. If requested in writing by Bank, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, as soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Refunds</u>. If Bank receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or another Loan Party or with respect to which Borrower or another Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, it shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u> that such Loan Party, upon the request of Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Bank in the event Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.7(e) shall not be construed to require Bank to (i) make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person or (ii) pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.7(e) the payment of which would place Bank (or its Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Bank (or its Affiliates) would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank and any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall provide a duly executed IRS Form W-9 to Borrower on the Closing Date, and other appropriate documentation (upon Borrower's written request) certifying to Bank's exemption from, or reduction in rate of, United States federal withholding taxes. Bank and any other such recipient agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Loan Party in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a payment made to Bank or any other recipient of any payment on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in IRC Section 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by IRC Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.7(g), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Loan Parties' obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the assignment of the Loans, and the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension</u>. The obligation of Bank to make the Term Loan on the Closing Date is subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or before the date hereof of each of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank shall have received executed counterparts of this Agreement and each of the other agreements, documents, instruments, opinions, certificates and other items as set forth on Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, in each case, where applicable, duly executed by the applicable parties thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Since January 1, 2023, no event shall have occurred which has had or would reasonably be expected have a Material Adverse Effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank shall have received payment of the fees and Bank Expenses then due pursuant to Section 2.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank shall have received an Automatic Debit Authorization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such date); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from the making of the Credit Extension on the Closing Date after giving effect to such Credit Extension.

The making of the Credit Extension on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the Closing Date that the foregoing conditions are satisfied on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Grant of Security Interest</u>. Each Loan Party hereby grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest to and in all of the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by such Loan Party of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Collateral" shall not include any Excluded Asset. Subject only to Permitted Liens that have priority by operation of law, 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 later-acquired Collateral. Each Loan Party also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its Intellectual Property, except in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank's Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect until the Obligations are Paid in Full and Bank has no further obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Upon request by Borrower at or following Payment in Full of the Obligations and the termination of any and all obligations by Bank to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement, Bank shall promptly release its liens and interests in the Collateral securing the Obligations, and Bank shall take such actions as reasonably requested by Borrower in order to cause such Liens to be terminated of record (including filing UCC-3 or other similar termination statements with respect to such Liens).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by each Loan Party:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) enforce collection of any of such Loan Party's Accounts or other amounts owed to such Loan Party by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of such Loan Party's rights and remedies with respect to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts or other amounts owed to such Loan Party; (iii) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts or other amounts owed to such Loan Party, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any Account of such Loan Party or other amount owed to such Loan Party upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Bank deems advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign such Loan Party's name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor or other Person obligated to such Loan Party; (vi) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Bank's sole discretion, to fulfill such Loan Party's obligations under the Loan Documents and to allow Bank to collect the Accounts or other amounts owed to such Loan Party; (vii) at such Loan Party's expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment directly to Bank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder; (viii) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order Bank reasonably considers advisable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Each Loan Party agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Loan Party authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to Loan Party's owned premises, each Loan Party hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of each Loan Party held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party held by Bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, each Loan Party' 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, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, each Loan Party's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or cash equivalents or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including any Loan Party's premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Loan Parties will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and the Loan Parties shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of any Loan Party, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower or any Guarantor.

Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Power of Attorney</u>. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as such Loan Party's true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Loan Party's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession, cash or deposit such checks or other items of payment or security, and apply to the Obligations all proceeds of such checks or other items; (c) sign such Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to such Loan Party's policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Loan Party where permitted by law; <u>provided</u> Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of such Loan Party on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as each Loan Party's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated (it being understood that any such Obligations will continue to be effective or automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Bank for any reason, including as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, as though such payment had not been made, it being further understood that in the event payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonably out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Bank in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as part of the Obligations)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Accounts Collection</u>. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to a Loan Party of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Loan Party shall collect all amounts owing to such Loan Party for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Bank Expenses</u>. If any Loan Party fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. In addition, Bank may make Credit Extensions as Bank deems necessary, in its reasonable credit judgment, to preserve or protect the Collateral or the value thereof. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then rate applicable to the Term Loan hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Bank's Liability for Collateral</u>. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by the Loan Parties.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Obligation to Pursue Others</u>. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank's rights against the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Remedies Cumulative</u>. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Loan Party expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Demand; Protest</u>. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>NOTICES</u>.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Loan Parties or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Governing Law and Venue</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Loan Party and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court located within the State of New York in the County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or *forum non conveniens* and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by the Loan Parties in accordance with, Section 11 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower's actual receipt thereof or 3 days after deposit thereof in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2. <u>Jury Trial Waiver</u>. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ANY JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Jury Reference</u>. In the event any legal proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any claim and if the waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, who shall be a retired state or federal court judge, mutually selected by the parties or, if they cannot agree, then any party may seek to have a private judge appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 and 640 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts). The reference proceeding shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the referenced proceedings. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms hereof. The costs of any such reference proceeding shall be borne equally by the parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any Loan Party without Bank's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank's sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to any Loan Party to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank's obligations, rights and benefits hereunder. If any portion of the Obligations are assigned or participated by Bank, Bank, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower shall maintain a register in the United States to record the names, addresses, and tax identification number of each assignee and participant and right to principal and stated interest. No assignment of participation shall be effective unless recorded in such register. It is intended that such register be maintained such that the Loans are in "registered form" for the purposes of the IRC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2. <u>Indemnification</u>. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents (an "Indemnified Person") against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions among Bank and the Loan Parties whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), except for losses caused by an Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Time of Essence</u>. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Severability of Provisions</u>. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

Bank may, with the prior consent of Borrower, correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

All amendments to or terminations of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing signed by the parties. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement and any other Loan Document and any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, or refinancings thereof 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 or Loan Document, as applicable. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. As used herein, "Electronic Signatures" means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by email delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ".pdf" signature page were an original hereof or thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Survival</u>. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to the Loan Parties. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Effect of Amendment and Restatement</u>. This Agreement is intended to and does completely amend and restate, without novation, the Original Agreement, which shall be terminated on the Closing Date of this Agreement. All security interests granted by Borrower under the Original Agreement are hereby confirmed and ratified and shall continue to secure all Obligations under this Agreement.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

#### INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Intellectual Property Security Agreement is entered into as of _______________ ____, 20__ by and between EAST WEST BANK, a California banking corporation ("Bank") and _______________________________ ("Grantor").

<u>RECITALS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bank has agreed to make certain advances of money and to extend certain financial accommodations (the "Loans") to BERKELEY LIGHTS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower") in the amounts and manner set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2023 (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, including but not limited to that certain Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated of even date herewith the "**Loan Agreement**"; capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Loan Agreement), by and among Bank, Borrower and ISOPLEXIS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation. Bank is willing to make the Loans to Borrower, but only upon the condition, among others, that upon the occurrence of an IP Trigger Milestone, Grantor shall grant to Bank a perfected first priority security interest on each Loan Party's Intellectual Property to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Grantor has granted to Bank a security interest in all of Grantor's right, title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired, in, to and under all of the Collateral.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of its obligations under the Loan Agreement and all other agreements now existing or hereafter arising between the Loan Parties and Bank, Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

<u>AGREEMENT</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To secure its obligations under the Loan Agreement and under any other agreement now existing or hereafter arising between the Loan Parties and Bank, Grantor grants and pledges to Bank a security interest in all of Grantor's right, title and interest in, to and under its Intellectual Property (including without limitation those Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks listed on Exhibits A, B and C hereto), and including without limitation all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example but not by way of limitation, license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), the right to sue for past, present and future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all re-issues, divisions continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This security interest is granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to Bank under the Loan Agreement. The rights and remedies of Bank with respect to the security interest granted hereby are in addition to those set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and those which are now or hereafter available to Bank as a matter of law or equity. Each right, power and remedy of Bank provided for herein or in the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every right, power or remedy provided for herein and the exercise by Bank of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any person, including Bank, of any or all other rights, powers or remedies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grantor represents and warrants that Exhibits A, B, and C attached hereto set forth any and all intellectual property rights in connection to which Grantor has registered or filed an application with either the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Intellectual Property Security Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to this Intellectual Property Security Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by email delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ".pdf" signature page were an original hereof.

**Agreement to Furnish Insurance to Loan and Security Agreement**<br>

Borrower and Guarantor:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PHENOMEX INC. and ISOPLEXIS CORPORATION

I understand that the Second Amended Loan and Security Agreement which I executed in connection with this transaction requires me to provide certain insurance policies, including, without limitation, a physical damage insurance policy including a Lenders Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of East West Bank (the "Bank") as shown below.

The following minimum insurance must be provided according to the terms of the security documents (together with such other insurance as may be required by the Bank pursuant to the terms of the security documents).

Fire & Extended Coverage

Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement

I may obtain the required insurance from any company that is acceptable to the Bank, and will deliver proof of such coverage with an effective date of March 21, 2023 or earlier.

I understand and agree that if I fail to deliver proof of insurance to the Bank at the address below, or upon the lapse or cancellation of such insurance, the Bank may procure Lender's Single Interest Insurance or other similar coverage on the property. If the Bank procures insurance to protect its interest in the property described in the security documents, the cost for the insurance will be added to my indebtedness as provided in the security documents. Lender's Single Interest Insurance shall cover only the Bank's interest as a secured party, and shall become effective at the earlier of the funding date of this transaction or the date my insurance was canceled or expired. I UNDERSTAND THAT LENDER'S SINGLE INTEREST INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE ME WITH ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN, HOWEVER, MY EQUITY IN THE PROPERTY WILL NOT BE INSURED. FURTHER, THE INSURANCE WILL NOT PROVIDE MINIMUM PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INDEMNIFICATION AND DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAW.

CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2955.5. HAZARD INSURANCE DISCLOSURE: No lender shall require a borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property.
