 AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLY AGREEMENT 

This Amended and Restated Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) is effective on the date of the last signature
hereto (“Effective Date”), by and between ASH STEVENS INC., a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business at 5861 John C. Lodge Freeway, Detroit, Michigan 48202-3398
(“Ash Stevens”); and CERUS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 2550 Stanwell Drive, Concord, California 94520 (“Cerus”).
Ash Stevens and Cerus are each individually referred to in this Supply Agreement as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”. 
 This Supply Agreement amends and restates the Supply Agreement entered into between Ash Stevens and Cerus, effective November 14, 2002. 

Ash Stevens agrees to manufacture Cerus proprietary S-59 compound (also known as Amotosalen and referred to in this Supply Agreement as
“Product” or “Products”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Quality Agreement entered concurrently with this Supply Agreement and incorporated by reference herein in the attached Exhibit
A (the “Quality Agreement”), and Product specifications set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Specifications”). Products will be manufactured and stored at Ash Stevens facilities located
at, 18655 Krause Street, Riverview, Michigan 48193. Cerus desires to purchase Products for use or for inclusion in systems for resale by Cerus and/or its affiliates, distributors and licensees (the “Systems”). 

Ash Stevens acknowledges that all intellectual property relating to the Products is the property of Cerus. 

Prices of the Products are: 
 See EXHIBIT C. 
 Payment with respect to such Product
shall be due [ * ] after receipt by Cerus of the invoice with respect thereto; provided that if Cerus rejects such Product pursuant to Section 7, then payment shall be due within [ * ] after receipt by Cerus of both the replacement Product and
Certificate of Analysis therefor (assumes pre-delivery approval of Product sample). Cerus will provide information on shipping address at the time of purchase. The “bill to” address shall be Cerus Corporation, 2550 Stanwell Dr., Concord,
CA 94520, unless otherwise noted at the time of issuance of an Order (as further defined below in Section 1 of this Supply Agreement). 
 This Supply Agreement will have an initial term (the “Initial Term”) which will run from the Effective Date until
December 31st, 2015, unless earlier terminated by
either Party pursuant to the provisions of this Supply Agreement. 
 Either Party may terminate this Supply Agreement without
cause at the end of the Initial Term by providing written notice of termination at least one (1) year in advance of the effective termination date for a notice given to Ash Stevens, and two (2) years in advance of the effective

  
 [ * ] = Certain confidential
information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 
termination date for a notice given to Cerus (each a “Notice of Termination”). The Initial Term of the Supply Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive
extension periods of two (2) years each (the “Automatic Extension Period(s)”), unless either Party provides the above-described Notice of Termination before the termination date of the Initial Term or the then-effective Automatic
Extension Period, or unless the Supply Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Supply Agreement. The Initial Term and Automatic Extension Periods are collectively referred to herein as the “Term.”

 Upon termination of this Supply Agreement, the provisions of Sections 6-10 of the Terms and Conditions shall remain in
effect in accordance with their terms. 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. PURCHASES AND DELIVERY 
 (a) Subject to paragraph (b), Ash Stevens shall sell Products to Cerus, and Cerus shall purchase from Ash Stevens Products for use or resale at Cerus’ discretion anywhere in the world (also referred
to hereinafter as “Territory”). Cerus will order Products from Ash Stevens by placing purchase orders during the Term of this Supply Agreement (“Orders”). Ash Stevens shall acknowledge promptly each Cerus Order in
writing and confirm delivery dates to destinations specified by Cerus. As time is of the essence in meeting Cerus’ requirements for Product, Ash Stevens shall ship Product in time to comply with Cerus’ required delivery dates as specified
in the Purchase Order, provided that the earliest such date provides a lead-time of at least [ * ] to produce the Products after receipt of starting materials by Ash Stevens. Ash Stevens is required to maintain a supply of starting materials, as
provided in Section 2, below. All sales of Products shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement and, to the extent they specify quantities, destinations and delivery dates, to Cerus Orders. This Supply Agreement shall
not be subject to the terms, conditions or provisions of any confirmation or business form of Ash Stevens or, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Cerus Orders. Ash Stevens shall not be liable for failure or delay in filling
Cerus Orders because of any cause such as strikes, wars and Acts of God beyond the control of and occurring without the fault of Ash Stevens; provided, however, that Ash Stevens shall notify Cerus promptly of anticipated delays and shall use all
reasonable efforts to fill such Orders as soon as possible. Without limiting its other available remedies, Cerus may cancel any Order, in whole or in part, which is delayed more than [ * ]. 

(b) Nothing in this Supply Agreement will obligate Cerus to commence manufacture of Systems incorporating Products or continue
manufacture once production has commenced. If Cerus discontinues manufacture of Systems incorporating the Products, it shall be required to purchase and pay Ash Stevens for orders that have been placed and for the fulfillment of which Ash Stevens
has made substantial preparations at the agreed pricing, prorated to the extent of completion of such orders at the time of discontinuation. 
 2. PRODUCT FORECAST; RAW MATERIALS; INVENTORY; MAINTENANCE FEES 

  
 [ * ] = Certain confidential
information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 (a) Forecast. By [ * ] of each calendar year, Cerus shall provide Ash Stevens with an
annual delivery forecast estimating the quantity of Compound Cerus anticipates that it will purchase from Ash Stevens for such calendar year (the “Annual Forecast”). At such time Products are being ordered on [ * ] basis or more
than [ * ] are being produced per year, Cerus shall provide Ash Stevens with a [ * ] rolling, delivery forecast estimating the quantity of Compound Cerus anticipates that it will purchase from Ash Stevens in the periods specified (the
“Rolling Forecast”). Cerus shall update the Rolling Forecast every [ * ]; and inform Ash Stevens as soon as possible if Cerus reasonably expects that Orders for Compound would vary significantly (more than [ * ]) from the Rolling
Forecast. In any event, however, Cerus shall place firm orders for the quantities shown in the most recent [ * ] Rolling Forecast. 
 (b) Changes. Cerus will place purchase orders to Ash Stevens for the manufacture of Product. If Cerus subsequently cancels or modifies a purchase order for any reason, Cerus shall be required to
pay Ash Stevens a pro-rated amount based on the extent of completion of the order at the time of the cancellation or modification. Upon receipt of such notification by Cerus, Ash Stevens shall promptly provide Cerus with an invoice outlining the
expenses incurred up to that date for the manufacture of Product. Payment terms and lead times are respectively described in the Preamble and paragraph (a) of Section 1 of this Supply Agreement. 

(c) Starting Materials. Ash Stevens will use its best efforts at all times to maintain [ * ] supply of starting materials for the
Product. Ash Stevens will provide Cerus with an itemization of the quantity of such materials maintained upon request and will promptly notify Cerus in the event of any difficulty, or anticipated difficulty, in obtaining any starting material. In
the event of any termination of this Supply Agreement by Cerus, other than for breach by Ash Stevens, Cerus will be required to purchase at [ * ] cost any unexpired starting materials that are dedicated to the Products up to a maximum of [ * ].
Cerus shall also have the right to purchase any starting materials at [ * ] cost in the event of termination of this Supply Agreement for any reason other than breach by Cerus of this Supply Agreement. 

(d) Storage. Ash Stevens will store up to [ * ] of finished Product inventory without any storage charge or carrying charge to
Cerus. Upon request, Ash Stevens will provide Cerus with an update of the quantity of such inventory maintained. If Cerus requires storage of greater quantities, Ash Stevens may charge Cerus a reasonable storage charge. Such inventory will be stored
at Ash Stevens’ Riverview Michigan GMP warehouse; this facility must be suited for storage of the Product and shall be subject to Cerus’ inspection and approval. Ash Stevens must notify Cerus of any changes in storage location or storage
conditions for the Product. Ash Stevens will provide to Cerus upon the Effective Date of this Supply Agreement, and each anniversary date thereof, a certificate of all-risk insurance in the amount of at least [ * ], naming Cerus as an additional
insured as its interests may appear. Ash Stevens shall maintain an inventory of Product primary reference standard and provide same to Cerus’ contractors upon request. 
 (e) Security Interest. Ash Stevens hereby grants Cerus a security interest in all finished Product inventory and work-in-process and in all starting materials and other property used in the
production of Products to secure the performance of Ash Stevens’ obligations under 

  
 [ * ] = Certain confidential
information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 
this Supply Agreement. Ash Stevens agrees to execute appropriate UCC financing statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence or perfect this security interest. 

(f) Samples At Cerus’ request, Ash Stevens will pre-ship a sample of Product from each lot to Cerus (or at Cerus’
direction, to Cerus’ designee) upon completion of that lot. Each sample will be accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis for the sample. 
 (g) Maintenance Fee. If Cerus has ordered, by December 31 of any calendar year, less than [ * ] of product for such calendar year, Cerus will pay Ash Stevens, a maintenance fee, as follows:

  

			
	 If the Amount Ordered is:
	  	Maintenance Fee
	 Less than [ * ] but more than [ * ]
	  	[ * ]
	 Less than [ * ] but more than [ * ]
	  	[ * ]
	 Less than [ * ] but more than [ * ]
	  	[ * ]
	 Less than [ * ] but more than [ * ]
	  	[ * ]
	 Less than [ * ]
	  	[ * ]

 The maintenance fee is in consideration of Ash Stevens’ continuous support for the Product.

 3. STABILITY STUDIES; REFERENCE STANDARDS; OTHER SERVICES 

Ash Stevens agrees to conduct stability studies on finished Products, [ * ] in accordance with a protocol approved by Cerus. Ash Stevens
agrees to qualify and maintain an inventory of Product primary reference standard and to provide same to Cerus’ contractors upon request. From time to time, Cerus may make requests for other services that are beyond the scope of routine
manufacture, including, but not limited to, Product change (as further detailed in the Quality Agreement). For each of the above, the scope of work, pricing, and terms, will be outlined in an amendment to this contract or in a work order, each
deemed to be incorporated into this Supply Agreement and governed by its terms and conditions. For avoidance of doubt, a “work order” shall mean a written, signed order for the performance by Ash Stevens of mutually-agreed services.

 4. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP; SHIPMENT OF PRODUCTS 

Title and ownership to Products shall pass to Cerus at the time of their release as finished Products by Ash Stevens, whether or not such
Products are being immediately shipped to Cerus or further stored as inventory by Ash Stevens, pursuant to paragraphs (c) and/or (d) of Section 2 of this Supply Agreement. Ash Stevens shall ship the Products to destinations specified
by Cerus by mutually agreed upon carriers. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Cerus shall pay all normal freight charges. Ash Stevens shall include a packing list in each shipment of the Products providing the following information:
(i) Cerus Purchase Order No.; (ii) Cerus Product Code; (iii) Quantity; (iv) Ash Stevens Lot Number and (v) Certificate of Analysis. Ash Stevens shall also fax a copy of each packing list to the destination and to Cerus (to
the 

  
 [ * ] = Certain confidential
information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 
address specified by Cerus, which may be different from the destination) for each shipment at the time of shipment. Ash Stevens will also include a material safety data sheet (MSDS) in each
shipment. Detailed requirements and procedures relating to packaging and shipment of Product should be included in the Master Batch Records (as further defined in the Quality Agreement) collected and maintained by Ash Stevens with respect to the
Product. 
 5. TERMINATION 
 Either Cerus or Ash Stevens may terminate this Supply Agreement for any material breach by the other Party [ * ] after written notice containing details of the breach if the breach remains uncured at the
end of the notice period. Either Party may terminate this Supply Agreement effective immediately with written notice if the other Party shall file for bankruptcy, shall be adjudicated bankrupt, shall take advantage of applicable insolvency laws,
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, shall be dissolved or shall have a receiver appointed for its property. Cerus shall have the right to terminate this Supply Agreement immediately if Ash Stevens breaches its warranties contained
in Section 7 or its guarantee contained in Section 6 under this Supply Agreement. If this Supply Agreement is terminated due to breach by Ash Stevens, such termination will not relieve Ash Stevens of its obligation to deliver Products
ordered by Cerus prior to receipt of written notice of such termination, except to the extent Cerus cancels such Orders. 

6. GUARANTEE 
 All Products sold to Cerus are hereby guaranteed by Ash Stevens, as of the date of their receipt by Cerus or its designee , to meet the Specifications and requirements specified by Cerus under this Supply
Agreement, and, to be, on such date, not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “Act”), or amendments thereto, and any similar federal, state or local laws or regulations,
and not an article which may not, under the provisions of the Act, be introduced into interstate commerce. 
 7. WARRANTIES

 (a) ASH STEVENS WARRANTS THAT IT POSSESSES GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PRODUCTS SOLD TO CERUS
UNDER THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH PRODUCTS ARE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MANUFACTURE, WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS, AND ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS REFERENCED IN EXHIBIT B. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. ASH STEVENS MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO THE SAFETY OR EFFICACY OF THE PRODUCT OR QUALIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT AS A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUND OR OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.

resolving any such action, and each indemnified Party in any such action may at its option and expense be represented in such action. Neither Cerus nor Ash Stevens shall be responsible or bound by any compromise made by the other Party without their
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7 OF THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT, IN
NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MANUFACTURE, USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS.

deliver assignments of such proprietary rights to Cerus. Cerus shall compensate Ash Stevens at a reasonable rate for the time actually spent by Ash Stevens at Cerus’ request on such assistance.

of the non-conforming Products to Ash Stevens. If there is a dispute as to whether any portion of any shipment of the Product is not in compliance, such dispute shall be resolved by having a representative of Ash Stevens observe the performance of
the analytical testing by Cerus or Cerus’ designee personnel or by having one of their representatives observe the performance of the analytical testing by Ash Stevens’ personnel. If the discrepancy results cannot be resolved in this
manner, the testing shall be performed by an independent, mutually acceptable, qualified third party. 
 (d) Rework of Product
rejected by Cerus will only be performed following a mutually agreed upon plan. Routine issues that are identified and resolved during manufacturing and product testing will be documented in the Product’s Batch Record and will be approved by
Ash Stevens. All reworked material must meet final release requirements. 
 (e) If a lot of Product is rejected, Ash Stevens
will schedule another production run as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter and will deliver a new lot of Product if so requested in writing by Cerus.

 (a) For any Product changes proposed by Ash Stevens, Ash Stevens will initiate this change by submitting a written change request to Cerus. For changes that are proposed for Product-specific materials,
labels, packaging materials, product or production processes, Cerus must approve the change prior to implementation. Cerus will be responsible for all changes to the Product, regardless of who first initiated the change. 

(b) Cerus may initiate a change by submitting the Cerus change control form to Ash Stevens. Ash Stevens will review the change, evaluate
the feasibility and consequences, and provide feedback to Cerus on the manufacturability of the changed design, as applicable.

accordance with the terms hereof.

Capital Advances advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Growth Capital Advances at least five (5) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Bank
on the date of such prepayment an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Growth Capital Advance plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, plus (C) all other

 (ii) Growth Capital Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Growth
Capital Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a per annum rate, fixed on the date of funding of each Growth Capital Advance, equal to the greater of (a) six and one quarter percent (6.25%) and
(b) the sum of (I) the three (3) month U.S. LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal three (3) Business Days prior to the funding date of such Growth Capital Advance, plus (II) six percent (6.00%).

a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. 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. 

(c) Payments. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the 1st calendar day of
each month during the term hereof; provided that, 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. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall 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. 
 (d)
Computation. With respect to Obligations bearing interest at the Prime Rate, 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.

 2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds,
check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After 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. 
 2.5 Fees. Borrower
shall pay to Bank the following: 
 (a) Revolving Line Facility Fee. On the Closing Date and each anniversary thereof, a
fee on account of the Revolving Line equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), which shall be nonrefundable; provided that Bank hereby acknowledges receipt of the amount due on the Closing Date;

 (a) timely receipt by Bank of the Payment/Advance
Form as provided in Section 2.1; and 
 (b) the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 shall be true and
correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or
would exist after giving effect to such Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such date). The making of
each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2. 

 

	 	4.	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. 

 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt
performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, 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. Borrower 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 for so long as any Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations) are outstanding. 
 4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time
financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other
information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time
to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security interests in the
Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect
its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an
acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts,
letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time
to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay
or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

 4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall
have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make
copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. 

4.4 Pledge of Collateral. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Bank a security interest in all the Shares, together with
all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as
security for the performance of the Obligations. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, if the Shares are certificated or, if not then certificated, with ten (10) days of certification thereof, the certificate or certificates for
the Shares will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares
are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral
(including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of the Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of the Bank or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause
to be taken such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Bank shall have provided notice to
Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action
taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate with notice by
Bank to Borrower upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. 
  

	 	5.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 

 Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
 5.1 Due Organization and
Qualification. Borrower and each Subsidiary is an entity duly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of
property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor
constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s organizational documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which
it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.3
Collateral. Borrower has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. All Collateral is
located solely in the Collateral States. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide existing obligations. The property or services giving rise to such Eligible Accounts has been delivered or rendered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate
shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account.
No licenses or agreements giving rise to such Eligible Accounts is with any Prohibited Territory or with any Person organized under or doing business (concerning Borrower’s products) in a Prohibited Territory. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and merchantable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Except as set forth in the Schedule, none of Borrower’s Cash is maintained or invested with a Person

licensed to Borrower and noted on the Schedule. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual
Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the
Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. Except as noted on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to,
nor is it bound by, any Restricted License. 
 5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the
Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The chief executive office of Borrower is located in
the Chief Executive Office State at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof. 
 5.6 Actions, Suits, Litigation, or
Proceedings. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions, suits, litigation or proceedings, at law or in equity, pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency, or arbitrator in which a
likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.7 No Material Adverse Change in
Financial Statements. All consolidated (and, if and when Borrower has any Subsidiaries, consolidating) financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower’s consolidated (and, if and when Borrower has any Subsidiaries, consolidating) financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of operations for the period then ended. There has not
been a material adverse change in the consolidated or in the consolidating financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.

of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

5.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with
respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged
principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).
Borrower has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower is in compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each Subsidiary have
filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where
the failure to file such returns or pay such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 5.11 Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business as currently conducted, except where the
failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.12 Use of Proceeds. Borrower
shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, a portion of the proceeds of
the Tranche A Growth Capital Advance shall be used by Borrower to repay the Existing Indebtedness in full on the Closing Date. 

5.13 Shares. Borrower has full power and authority to create a first lien on the Shares and no disability or contractual
obligation exists that would prohibit Borrower from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options
exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Shares are not the subject of any present or threatened suit,
action, arbitration, administrative or other proceeding, and Borrower knows of no reasonable grounds for the institution of any such proceedings.

other statement was made, taken together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in
such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

reasonable terms (when viewed in the context of any series of transactions of which it may be a part, if applicable) that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person;
(b) transactions among Borrower and its Subsidiaries and among Borrower’s Subsidiaries so long as no Event of Default exists or could reasonably be expected to result therefrom; (c) reasonable and customary fees paid to members of

Dollars ($3,000,000). 
  

	 	8.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 

 Any
one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement: 
 8.1 Payment
Default. If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations when due; 
 8.2 Covenant Default. 

(a) If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7, or violates any of the covenants contained in
Article 7 of this Agreement; or 
 (b) If Borrower fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term, provision,
condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition or covenant that can be cured, has
failed to cure such default within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period
or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case
exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, so long as Borrower continues to diligently attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of
Default but no Credit Extensions will be made; 
 8.3 Material Adverse Effect. If there occurs any circumstance or
circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 8.4 Defective Perfection. If Bank shall receive at any time following the Closing
Date an SOS Report indicating that except for Permitted Liens, Bank’s security interest in the Collateral is not prior to all other security interests or Liens of record reflected in the report; provided, Borrower shall have five
(5) Business Days (or reasonable extension thereof, not to be unreasonably withheld) from notice or knowledge thereof to cure any such defective perfection, provided, further, this Event of Default shall not apply to the extent any such
defective perfection has resulted from Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; 
 8.5 Attachment. If any
material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure,
writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within ten (10) days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its
business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any material portion of
Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives
notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be
made during such cure period); 
 8.6 Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is
commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency
Proceeding); 
 8.7 Other Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to perform in any agreement to which
Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000)
or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.7 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes
of this Agreement upon Bank receiving written notice from the party asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (x) Bank has not
declared an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (y) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and
(z) in connection with any such cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith judgment of Bank be materially less advantageous
to Borrower; 
 8.8 Subordinated Debt. If Borrower makes any payment on account of Subordinated Debt, except to the

judgment); or if a settlement or settlements is agreed upon for an amount individually or in the aggregate of at least One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) for which Borrower is required to pay.

	 	9.	BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

 9.1 Rights and Remedies. 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 Borrower: 
 (a) 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 8.6 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank); 
 (b) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of
Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of
Credit, and Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts; 
 (c) 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; 
 (d) Settle or adjust
disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable; 
 (e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to
make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may reasonably designate. Borrower 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 any of Borrower’s
owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same in accordance with local laws, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law,
in equity, or otherwise; 
 (f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower
held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank; 
 (g)
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, Borrower’s 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, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit; 
 (h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way
of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’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, Borrower 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 Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale; 
 (i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; 

  
 15

 [ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 (j) 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 Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and 

(k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. 

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. 
 9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’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 Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession;
(c) sign Borrower’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 Borrower’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 Borrower where
permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as
Borrower’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 fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide
advances hereunder is terminated. 
 9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower 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. 
 9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower 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; (b) set up such
reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) 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. 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 applicable rate 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. 

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. 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 Borrower. 
 9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others.
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 Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations. 

  
 16

 [ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 9.7 Remedies Cumulative. 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. Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by
course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise. 
 9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

 This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in the State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

	 	12.	REFERENCE PROVISION. 

12.1 In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference
Provision. 
 12.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim
(each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be
resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the
resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property
involved in the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”). 
 12.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or
preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the
items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement. 

12.4 The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree
within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be
heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. 
 12.5 The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good
cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision. 
 12.6 The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to
provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven
(7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision
shall be final and binding. 
 12.7 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in
which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings
conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a
courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost
of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 12.8 The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case
law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as
legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall
issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the
same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the
referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under
this provision. 
 12.9 If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor
statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the
California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding. 

12.10 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED
BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE
PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
  

	 	13.	GENERAL PROVISIONS.

of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which

this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Bank Expenses incurred
through the Closing Date (and to complete the post-closing items listed in Section 6.11 or the Closing Checklist) shall not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for the account of Borrower; and (ii) if, prior to the Growth Capital
Maturity Date, Bank and Borrower enter into an amendment to this Agreement which has as its sole purpose an increase of the Credit Extensions to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), no fees or Bank Expenses shall be due or payable by Borrower in

correction shall not be made to the Loan Documents except by an amendment signed by both Bank and Borrower. 
 13.6

 COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 All personal property of Borrower (herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including, but not
limited to: 
 All personal property of Debtor of every kind, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and
wherever located, including but not limited to: (a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents),
equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software; excluding Intellectual Property), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including
all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money, and all of
Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records; and (b) any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, insurance
proceeds, and all supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any copyrights, patents, trademarks, servicemarks and
applications therefor, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present and future infringement of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that the
Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”);
(ii) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising, issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary organized outside the United States which Shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for

security interest in the Rights to Payment.

 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 September 30, 2011 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.

EXHIBIT A to UCC Financing Statement 
 COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT TO UCC NATIONAL FINANCING FORM 
 All personal property of
Borrower (herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including, but not limited to: 

All personal property of Debtor of every kind, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located,
including but not limited to: (a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including
all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software; excluding Intellectual Property), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including all goods held for
sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money, and all of Debtor’s books and
records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records; and (b) any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds, and all
supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any copyrights, patents, trademarks, servicemarks and
applications therefor, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present and future infringement of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that the
Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”);
(ii) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising, issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary organized outside the United States which Shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for
directors or any other matter, and (iii) the Fenwal license agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is
necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of September 30, 2011, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s
security interest in the Rights to Payment.
