(a)  
The Commitment Amounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth as and when made or deemed to be made, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower prior to the Loan A Commitment Termination Date,

including the repayment of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Oxford Finance LLC in the approximate amount of Nine Million Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($9,750,000).

 

(d)  Termination
of Commitment to Lend. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents, Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion
of the Commitment Amount to Borrower hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) at Lender’s sole election, the occurrence

in the general affairs, management, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the business
plan of Borrower presented to Lender on or before the date of this Agreement.

 

2.2        
Payments.

 

(a)   Scheduled
Payments. Borrower shall make (i) a payment of accrued but unpaid interest only to Lender on the outstanding principal amount of
each Loan on the first twenty-four (24) Payment Dates specified in the Note applicable to such Loan and (ii) an equal payment of
principal plus accrued interest to Lender on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the next thirty-six (36) Payment Dates
as set forth in the Note (collectively, the “Initial Scheduled Payments”). Notwithstanding, and in lieu of, the
foregoing, if Borrower satisfies the Interest Only Extension Milestone, then, Borrower shall make (i) a payment of accrued but
unpaid interest only to Lender on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the first thirty-six (36) Payment Dates specified
in the Note applicable to such Loan and (ii) an equal payment of principal plus accrued interest to Lender on the outstanding
principal amount of each Loan on the next twenty-four (24) Payment Dates as set forth in the Note (collectively, the
 “Revised Scheduled Payments” and collectively with the “Initial Scheduled Payments”, the
 “Scheduled Payments”). Borrower shall make such Scheduled Payments commencing on the date set forth in the Note
applicable to such Loan and continuing thereafter on the first Business Day of each calendar month (each a “Payment
Date”) through the Maturity Date. In any event, all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full
on the Maturity Date.

 

    12

     

    

 

(b)  
Interim Payment. Unless the Funding Date for a Loan is the first day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay the per diem
interest (accruing at the Loan Rate from the Funding Date through the last day of that month) payable with respect to such Loan on the
first Business Day of the next calendar month.

 

(c)  
Payment of Interest. Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Loan Rate. The
Loan Rate shall initially be calculated using the LIBOR Rate reported in the Wall Street Journal on the date which is five (5)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of disbursement of the Loan, but shall thereafter be calculated for each calendar month using
the LIBOR Rate reported in the Wall Street Journal on the first calendar day of such month, provided, however, that if the first
calendar day of any month is not a Business Day, the Loan Rate shall be calculated using the LIBOR Rate reported in the Wall Street
Journal on the Business Day immediately preceding the first calendar day of such month. Interest (including interest at the Default
Rate, if applicable) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall not in any event exceed the maximum amount permitted by the law applicable
to interest charged on commercial loans.

 

(d)  
Application of Payments. All payments received by Lender prior to an Event of Default shall be applied as follows: (i) first,
to Lender’s Expenses then due and owing; and (ii) second, ratably, to all Scheduled Payments then due and owing (provided,
however, if such payments are not sufficient to pay the whole amount then due, such payments shall be applied first to unpaid interest
at the Loan Rate, then to the remaining amounts then due). After an Event of Default, all payments and application of proceeds shall be
made as set forth in Section 9.7.

 

(e)  
Late Payment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment fee equal to six percent (6%) of the unpaid amount of any
Scheduled Payment not paid when due to such Lender.

 

(f)   
 Default Rate. Borrower shall pay interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate on any amounts required to be paid
by Borrower to Collateral Agent or Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including Scheduled Payments), payable with
respect to any Loan, accrued and unpaid interest, and any fees or other amounts which remain unpaid after such amounts are due. If an
Event of Default has occurred and the Obligations have been accelerated (whether automatically or by Lender’s election), Borrower
shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding accelerated balance hereunder from the date of the Event of Default until all Events
of Default are cured, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.

(i)

2.3 
Prepayments.

 

(a)  
Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Loans are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, then Borrower, in addition to any other amounts which may be due and owing hereunder, shall immediately
pay to Lender the amount set forth in Section 2.3(b) below, as if Borrower had opted to prepay on the date of such acceleration.

 

(b)  
Optional Prepayment. Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may, at its option, at
any time, prepay all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Loans by simultaneously paying to Lender an amount equal to (i) any accrued
and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans; plus (ii) an amount equal to (A) if such Loan is prepaid
on or before the Loan Amortization Date applicable to such Loan, three percent (3%) of the then outstanding principal balance of such
Loan, (B) if such Loan is prepaid after the Loan Amortization Date applicable to such Loan, but on or before the date that is twelve (12)

    14

     

    

 

2.4 
Other Payment Terms.

 

(a)  
 Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender in lawful money of the United States. All payments of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be made, in immediately available funds, not later than
12:00 p.m. Connecticut time, on the date on which such payment is due. Borrower shall make such payments to Lender via wire transfer
or ACH as instructed by Lender from time to time.

 

(b)  
Date. Whenever any payment is due hereunder on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(c)  
Taxes.

 

(i)           
Unless otherwise required under applicable law, any and all payments made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any taxes from such payments, then
(A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.4(c)) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

 

(ii)           
Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any taxes imposed or asserted
directly on Lender by any Governmental Authority on or attributable to amounts payable under this Agreement solely as a result of Lender
entering into this Agreement to the extent such taxes are paid by Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority; provided, however, that such indemnified taxes shall not include income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by)
Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein, under the laws of which
such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or in which its applicable lending office is located. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iii)           As
soon as practicable after any payment of taxes by Borrower hereunder to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender 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 Lender.

 

(iv)           
If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower
is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, Lender shall deliver to
Borrower, as reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

 

    15

     

    

 

(v)           
 If Lender receives a refund in respect of taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), which in the sole discretion
of Lender exercised in good faith is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid
by Borrower in connection with such refunded taxes, to Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes to which Lender
has become subject as a result of its receipt of such refund) of Lender incurred in obtaining such refund and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request
of the Lender, shall repay to Lender amounts paid over pursuant to the preceding clause (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (v), in no event will Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant
to this paragraph (v) the payment of which would place Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than Lender would have been in
if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed
to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower
or any other Person.

 

2.5 
Procedure for Making the Loans.

 

(a)  
(a)  Notice. Except with respect to the initial Loans to be made by Lender to Borrower on the date hereof, Borrower shall

five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s notice. Borrower’s execution and delivery to Lender of one or more Notes in respect
of a Loan shall be Borrower’s agreement to the terms and calculations thereunder with respect to such Loan. Lender’s obligation
to make any Loan shall be expressly subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.

and other authorizations would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.3 
Conflict with Other Instruments, etc. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which Borrower is a party
nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions thereof will conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws, or any other
organizational documents of Borrower or any law or any regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority
by which Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective property or assets may be bound or affected or any material agreement or
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound or to which it or any of its Property is subject,
or constitute a default thereunder or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

 

5.4 
Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest in the
Collateral, the incurrence of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and the
consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated have each been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
Borrower. No authorization, consent, approval, license or exemption of, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration
or filing with, or notice to, any Person is, was or will be necessary to (a) the valid execution and delivery of any Loan Document to
which Borrower is a party, (b) the performance of Borrower’s obligations under any Loan Document or (c) the granting of the security
interest in the Collateral, except for filings in connection with the perfection of the security interest in any of the Collateral or
the issuance of the Warrants, except (with respect to clauses (a) through (c)), such authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses or
exemptions that have been obtained and such registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings that have been made
and such notices that have been given. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered and constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
or by general principles of equity.

resellers and/or distributors in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the
public and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Disclosure Schedule. 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. Except as noted on the Disclosure Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.
Borrower has not received any communications alleging that Borrower has violated, or by conducting its business as proposed, would violate
any proprietary rights of any other Person. Borrower has no knowledge of any infringement or violation by it of the intellectual property
rights of any third party and has no knowledge of any violation or infringement by a third party of any of its Intellectual Property.
The Collateral and the Intellectual Property constitute substantially all of the assets and property of Borrower, and Borrower owns all
Intellectual Property associated with the business of Borrower and Subsidiaries, free and clear of any liens other than Permitted Liens.

 

5.6 
Security Interest. The provisions of this Agreement are sufficient to create legal and valid security interests in the Collateral
in favor of Collateral Agent and Lender, and, assuming the proper filing of one or more financing statement(s) identifying the Collateral
with the proper state and/or local authorities, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Collateral Agent and Lender pursuant
to this Agreement will be perfected in that portion of such Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of
a financing statement under the Code (excluding commercial tort claims and timber to be cute) and to the extent perfected in accordance
with the foregoing, such security interests (a) constitute and will continue to constitute first priority security interests (except to
the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s Liens under this Agreement)
and (b) are and will continue to be superior and prior to the rights of all other creditors of Borrower (except to the extent any Permitted
Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s Liens under this Agreement).

Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower in any Loan Document (including the Disclosure
Schedule), certificate or written statement furnished to Collateral Agent or Lender 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.
There is no fact known to Borrower which materially adversely affects, or which could in the future be reasonably expected to materially
adversely affect, its ability to perform its material obligations under this Agreement.

 

5.12      
Solvency, Etc. Borrower is Solvent (as defined below) and, after the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, Borrower will be Solvent. “Solvent” means, with respect to
any Person on any date, that on such date (a) the fair value of the property of such Person is greater than the fair value of the liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) of such Person, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person is not less than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person
does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s ability to pay as such debts
and liabilities mature and (d) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction,

Catastrophic Events; Labor Disputes. None of Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Property is or
has been affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo,
act of God or other casualty that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no disputes presently subject
to grievance procedure, arbitration or litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, employment contracts or employee
welfare or incentive plans to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party, and there are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns,
or, to the knowledge of Borrower, jurisdictional disputes or organizing activity occurring or threatened which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.16      
Certain Agreements of Officers, Employees and Consultants.

 

(a)  
No Violation. To the knowledge of Borrower, no officer, employee or consultant of Borrower is, or is now expected to be,
in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement, nondisclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement
or any other material contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant relating to the right of any such officer, employee or consultant
to be employed by Borrower because of the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by Borrower or relating to the use of trade
secrets or proprietary information of others, and to Borrower’s knowledge, the continued employment of Borrower’s officers,
employees and consultants does not subject Borrower to any material liability for any claim or claims arising out of or in connection
with any such contract, agreement, or covenant.

 

(b)  
No Present Intention to Terminate. To the knowledge of Borrower, no officer of Borrower, and no employee or consultant of
Borrower whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, has

5.17      
No Plan Assets. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3)
of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower or any Subsidiary constitutes or will constitute “plan
assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) neither Borrower
nor any Subsidiary is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by
or with Borrower or any Subsidiary are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect
to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code currently
in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.

 

5.18      
Sanctions, Etc. None of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or, any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, is a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are, (a) the subject or target of any Sanctions
or (b) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions. To the best
of Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and at all times throughout the term of this Agreement, including after giving effect
to any transfers of interests permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, none of the funds of Borrower, any Subsidiary or of their Affiliates
have been (or will be) derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in the respective party (whether directly
or indirectly), is prohibited by applicable law or the Loans are in violation of applicable law.

5.19      
Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not a “bank holding company” or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank
holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y thereunder of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company controlled
by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any margin stock.

 

5.20

and all taxes shown on such tax returns or otherwise due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Borrower,
its Subsidiaries and their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when

contested by Borrower in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been made under GAAP. To the knowledge
of Borrower, no tax return of Borrower or any Subsidiary is currently under an audit or examination, and Borrower has not received written
notice of any proposed audit or examination, in each case, where a material amount of tax is at issue. Borrower is not an “S corporation”

make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with
any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, or
(ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans,
whether as lender, underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise). Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
Anti-Terrorism Laws, and Lender’s policies and practices, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and
documentation that identifies Borrower and its principals, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and its principals

any substantial danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material item of Collateral or Collateral which in the aggregate is material
to Borrower and that Borrower has adequately bonded such amounts or reserves sufficient to discharge such amounts have been provided
on the books of Borrower). In addition, Borrower shall not change, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to change, its respective jurisdiction

Agent and Lender as an additional insured and all policies shall provide that the insurer must give Collateral Agent at least thirty
(30) days notice before canceling its policy. At Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified
copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any property policy shall, at Collateral Agent’s
or Lender’s option, be payable to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lender, or to Lender on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds
of any property policy, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that (a) any such replaced
or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed Collateral in

of an Event of Default all proceeds payable under such property policy shall, at the option of Collateral Agent or Lender, be payable
to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lender, or to Lender on account of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as
required under Section 6.8 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Collateral Agent, Collateral
Agent or Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in Section 6.8, and take any action under
the policies Collateral Agent or Lender deems prudent. On or prior to the first Funding Date and prior to each policy renewal, Borrower
shall furnish to Collateral Agent certificates of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to Collateral Agent that insurance complying
with all of the above requirements is in effect.

limitation of the foregoing, Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender, or Lender (acting alone) may, at its election, without notice of election
and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

 

(a)   Acceleration
of Obligations. Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise,
including (i) any accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii) if
the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, (iii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall
have become due and payable hereunder, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default

Agent or Lender);

 

    34 

     

    

 

(b)  
Protection of Collateral. Make such payments and do such acts as Collateral Agent or Lender considers necessary or reasonable
to protect Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral
if Collateral Agent or Lender so requires and to make the Collateral available to Collateral Agent or Lender as Collateral Agent or Lender
may designate. Borrower authorizes Collateral Agent, Lender and their designees and agents 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 Lien
which in Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s determination appears or is claimed 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
Collateral Agent and Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one
hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein,
at law, in equity, or otherwise;

 

(c)  
Preparation of Collateral for Sale. Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise
for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Collateral Agent, Lender and their agents and any purchasers at
or after foreclosure are hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free license or other right, solely
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s Intellectual Property, including
labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or acquired by Borrower or in which Borrower now or at any time
hereafter has any rights; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral
upon Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s exercise of its remedies hereunder;

 

(d)  
Sale of Collateral. 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 Collateral Agent or Lender
determines are commercially reasonable; and

 

(e)  
Purchase of Collateral. Credit bid and purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any public sale.

 

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

 

9.2 
Set Off Right. Collateral Agent and Lender may set off and apply to the Obligations any and all Indebtedness at any time
owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other assets of Borrower in Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s possession
or control.

 

    35 

     

    

 

 

9.3 
Effect of Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it
will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension
law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter
in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such
sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the
property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby
expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of Borrower, acquiring any interest
in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law
or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted and delegated to Collateral Agent or Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Borrower
in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns, and
against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns.

 

9.4 
Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of
Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution
and in its name to file any notices of security interests, financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof pursuant to the
Code or federal law, as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s security
interests in the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender (which appointment is coupled
with an interest) on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution
and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents,
issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security interest is granted under Section 4
with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Collateral Agent or Lender were Borrower itself; (b) to
receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment
of money) that come into Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s possession or under Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s control;
(c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral; (d) in Collateral Agent’s
or Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower
or otherwise, which Collateral Agent or Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and
interest of Collateral Agent and Lender in and to the Collateral; (e) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment
or security; (f) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (g) make,
settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts
directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent or Lender determines reasonable; (i) transfer the Collateral
into the name of Collateral Agent, Lender or a third party as the Code permits; and (j) to otherwise act with respect thereto as

period of grace and upon written notice to Borrower, do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and take any action with
respect to such policies as Collateral Agent or Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Collateral Agent or Lender shall
constitute Lender’s Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured
by the Collateral. Any payments made by Collateral Agent or Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Collateral Agent or Lender to
make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Collateral Agent or Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower shall
pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including Lender’s Expenses, incurred by Collateral Agent or Lender in the enforcement or
attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due.

 

9.6 
Remedies Cumulative; Independent Nature of Lender’s Rights. Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Collateral Agent and Lender shall have
all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No failure on the part of Collateral
Agent or Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
The Obligations of Borrower to Lender or Collateral Agent may be enforced by Lender or Collateral Agent against Borrower in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it shall not be
necessary for Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable, to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding to enforce such Obligations.

 

9.7 
Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds
and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Collateral Agent or Lender, at the time of or

(a) First,
to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure
or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances,
including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Collateral Agent or Lender, including Lender’s
Expenses;

 

(b) Second,
to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would
have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans,
and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans (provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full
the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then first, to the unpaid interest thereon ratably, second, to
the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii) ratably, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, third,
to the principal balance of the Loans ratably, and fourth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then payable to Lender under
any of the Loan Documents); and

 

    37

     

    

 

(c)  
Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled
to receive the same.

 

9.8 
Reinstatement of Rights. If Collateral Agent or Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction),
Collateral Agent and Lender shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the
security interest created under this Agreement.

extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Collateral Agent or Lender
on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

 

10.2      
Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and Lender comply with their obligations, if any, under
the Code, neither Collateral Agent nor Lender shall in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause other than Collateral Agent’s
or Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default
of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BORROWER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM COLLATERAL

This payment will be less employment tax withholdings, and will be made in installments, over a period not to exceed ___________  (___) months, in the same manner in which Executive’s salary was made.  The first installment payment will be made within 30 days after Executive signs and returns this Agreement to Best Buy, as long as Executive has not exercised her right of revocation in the time permitted hereunder.  If Executive is rehired by Best Buy prior to the end of any installment payments, the installment payments will end as of the date of rehire.  

			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			[Best Buy will pay Executive a second payment totaling $_______________. This payment will be less employment tax withholdings, and will be made after Executive signs and returns this Agreement to Best Buy, as long as Executive has not exercised his right of revocation in the time permitted hereunder.]    

			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			Best Buy will provide Executive, at Company expense, for __ months following his Separation Date, COBRA continuation coverage for him and his covered dependents for group medical, dental and vision under the Best Buy Health and Welfare Wrap Plan, or any successor Best Buy plans, if he is/they are participating in these programs as of his Separation Date, and at the coverage level and coverage option in place at the time of his Separation Date.  Executive authorizes Best Buy to elect COBRA continuation coverage for him and his COBRA-eligible dependents for the coverage level and coverage options in which they are enrolled as of Executive’s Separation Date, and Executive agrees to inform her COBRA-eligible dependents that they are so enrolled.    

		
			After the period of Company-paid COBRA coverage described above, Executive (or his qualified beneficiaries) must timely pay active employee rates to maintain continuation coverage. Eligibility for spouse and domestic partner coverage is subject, during the continuation period, to any changes and limitations in eligibility that apply to the spouses and domestic partners of active employees. All other terms of the Wrap Plan will apply to Executive and his family members as if he was an active employee. The total period of available continuation coverage, including the Company-paid COBRA coverage and the subsequent coverage at active employee rates, will be for up to five years beginning the first of the month following Executive’s Separation Date; provided however that, if the coverage of either himself or any beneficiary is discontinued, for failure to pay premiums or otherwise, at any point during the five year period, neither Executive nor such beneficiary may re-enroll in this coverage. Further, if Executive or any beneficiary (spouse, domestic partner, dependent) becomes eligible for alternative employer group health coverage after the legally-provided COBRA period, Executive or such beneficiary, as applicable, will no longer be eligible to continue coverage under the Wrap Plan at active employee rates. The Wrap Plan will provide coverage secondary to Medicare, if Executive,  his spouse or domestic partner, or any dependent, is eligible to enroll in Medicare, even if Executive or his spouse/domestic partner or his dependent does not enroll. Therefore, the Wrap Plan may offset from health plan benefits any amounts Medicare pays or, if Executive,  his spouse/domestic partner or dependent is not enrolled in Medicare, the amount Medicare would have paid.

			Best Buy will provide Executive, at Company expense, for one month following his Separation Date, COBRA continuation coverage for him and his covered dependents for group medical, dental and vision under the Best Buy Health and Welfare Wrap Plan, or any successor Best Buy plans, if he is/they are participating in these programs as of his Separation Date, and at the coverage level and coverage option in place at the time of his Separation Date.

			Best Buy will continue to pay the premiums for Executive’s group basic life insurance for a one month period, at no cost to Executive.  This continued provision of life insurance will run concurrently with any continuation rights under state law.  As required by applicable tax law, Best Buy will report as taxable income to Executive (on IRS Form W-2) the cost of any subsidized coverage in excess of the cost of $50,000 of coverage for the calendar year(s) in which Executive receives this coverage.  Best Buy will also, on Executive’s behalf, remit to relevant tax authorities Executive’s required withholding social security and Medicare taxes relating to the life insurance subsidy (including withholding taxes on the remittance itself). If Executive’s actual tax liability is higher than the remittance, any additional tax liability relating to the life insurance subsidy will be Executive’s responsibility.

			This Agreement is intended to qualify as an involuntary separation arrangement that is exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”). Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Specifically, any benefits paid within the Applicable 21⁄2 Month Period (as defined below) are intended to constitute separate payments (for purposes of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(2)) that are exempt from Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4). To the extent that any benefits do not qualify for the foregoing exemption, such benefits are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “involuntary separation pay plan” exception set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), up to the maximum extent permitted by said provision (generally, two times the lesser of the Executive’s annualized compensation or the compensation limit then in effect under section 401(a)(17) of the Code).  To the extent that the Company determines that any provision of this Agreement fails to satisfy Section 409A’s requirements, the Company shall be entitled to reform such provision in a manner that, in the good-faith opinion of the Company, attempts to cause the provision to satisfy those requirements while preserving as closely as possible the original intent of the provision and this Agreement. “Applicable 21⁄2 Month Period” means the period beginning on Executive’s Separation Date and ending 21⁄2 months after the later of (i) the end of the calendar year in which Executive’s Separation Date occurred, or (ii) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which Executive’s Separation Date occurred.

Any such visit must take place by DATE.]

				 11.
			Executive covenants that he has not communicated or disclosed, and he shall not hereafter communicate or disclose, the terms of this Agreement to any persons with the exception of members of his immediate family, his attorney, and his accountant or tax advisor, each of whom shall be informed of this confidentiality obligation and shall be bound by its terms, and with the exceptions of any taxing authority, as might otherwise be required by law, and for purposes of enforcing this Agreement. Executive may, however, disclose the provisions of Paragraphs 14-15 to prospective employers and recruiters. 

			
	
			
				 12.
			Executive agrees that he shall not take any action that is adverse to Best Buy’s business interests or make any critical or negative statement, either written or verbal, about the Releasees, including but not limited to critical or negative comments about Best Buy, its officers, directors, managers, employees, or its operations, procedures, activities, services, policies and practices.

				 a.
			

			
	
			
			Competitive Activity.  For one year following Executive’s Separation Date, he shall not engage in any Competitive Activity.  Because Best Buy’s business competes on a global basis, Executive’s obligations hereunder shall apply anywhere in the world.  

		
			“Competitive Activity” will mean any activities that are competitive with the business conducted by Best Buy or its subsidiaries at or prior to the date of the termination of Executive’s employment, all as described in Best Buy’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (e.g., Best Buy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) or other comparable publicly disseminated information.  Specifically, while not limited to the following, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, within the one-year period specified above:
		

			
	
			
				i.
			

			
	
			
			own or hold, directly or beneficially, as a shareholder (other than as a shareholder with less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of a publicly traded corporation), option holder, warrant holder, partner, member or other equity or security owner or holder any company or business that derives more than 25% of its revenue from the Restricted Activities (as defined below), or any company or business controlling, controlled by or under common control with any company or business directly engaged in such Restricted Activities, or

			
	
			
				ii.
			

			
	
			
			engage or participate as an employee, director, officer, manager, executive, partner, independent contractor, board member, consultant or technical or business advisor in the Restricted Activities.

		
			﻿

				 b.
			

			
	
			
			Non-Solicitation.  For one year following Executive’s Separation Date, he shall not:

			
	
			
				i.
			

			
	
			
			induce or attempt to induce any employee of Best Buy to leave the employ of Best Buy, or in any way interfere adversely with the relationship between any such employee and Best Buy;

			
	
			
				ii.
			

			
	
			
			induce or attempt to induce any employee of Best Buy to work for, render services to, provide advice to, or supply confidential information, as described in Best Buy’s confidential information policies (“Confidential Information”), to any third person, firm, or corporation;

			
	
			
				iii.
			

			
	
			
			employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any employee of Best Buy in any competitive business enterprise with which Executive may be associated, connected or affiliated;

			
	
			
				iv.
			

			
	
			
			induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Best Buy to cease doing business with Best Buy, or in any way interfere with the then existing business relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation and Best Buy; or

			
	
			
				v.
			

			
	
			
			assist, solicit, or encourage any other person, directly or indirectly, in carrying out any activity set forth above that would be prohibited by any of the provisions of this Paragraph 14 if such activity were carried out by Executive.  In particular, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of Best Buy to carry out any such activity.

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 15.
			

			
	
			
			Executive agrees:

			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			That he shall not disclose to anyone, nor use for his or a third party’s benefit, any CONFIDENTIAL information, as defined in the Best Buy Confidentiality Policy.    Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law,  he understands  he may disclose the trade secret to his attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if he files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

				 b.
			

			
	
			
			To abide by any previous agreements to assign to Best Buy, all of his right, title, and interest in any inventions, works of authorship, designs, ideas, trademarks, or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable, that he created, conceived, or reduced to practice, during his employment with, and within the scope of his duties as an employee of Best Buy, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively

			referred to as “Best Buy Companies Intellectual Property”).  Furthermore, he hereby assigns to Best Buy all of his right, title, and interest in Best Buy Companies Intellectual Property.  Any invention, discovery, innovation or improvement that he can show was developed entirely on his own time and without the use of any of Best Buy’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Confidential Information and: (1) does not relate to the business of Best Buy or its actual or anticipated research or development; or (2) does not result from any work performed by him for Best Buy, shall not be part of the Best Buy Companies Intellectual Property.  He agrees that he will, at any time upon request and without further consideration, execute additional documents and do additional acts as Best Buy may deem necessary or desirable to perfect its interest in the Best Buy Companies Intellectual Property.

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 16.
			Executive agrees that his obligations under this Agreement, including his  obligations under Paragraphs 14 and 15, are reasonable in subject matter, scope, geography and time, and are reasonable and necessary for Best Buy to protect its legitimate business interests.  Executive further agrees that these obligations shall not prevent him from pursuing or obtaining other employment or earning a living utilizing his skills, education, experience and knowledge of information that is not Confidential Information.  In the event that any portion of Paragraphs 14 or 15 of this Agreement, including all of their subparts, shall be determined to be unenforceable because it is unreasonably restrictive in any respect, it shall be interpreted and/or modified to extend over the maximum period of time for which it reasonably may be enforced and to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced in all other respects, and enforced as so interpreted and/or modified.  Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 17.
			Executive agrees that a breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 14 or 15 would cause material and irreparable harm to Best Buy that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that damages or other legal remedies available to Best Buy for any such harm would, therefore, be an inadequate remedy for any such breach.  Accordingly, Executive agrees  that if he breaches any of the provisions of Paragraphs 14 or 15, Best Buy shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies Best Buy may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief, without bond or other security, to restrain any such breach.  Executive further agrees that the duration of the Restrictive Covenants shall be extended by the same amount of time that Executive is in breach of any Restrictive Covenant.

			
	
			
				 18.
			Executive agrees to refrain from voluntarily participating in, or assisting others in, any  legal proceedings against Best Buy.  However, Executive is not prohibited from cooperating in a governmental investigation, from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation. Executive does not need Best Buy’s authorization to make any such reports or disclosures, and Executive is not required to notify the Company that Executive has made such reports or disclosures.

				 19.
			Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with Best Buy and its attorneys in the investigation, defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of Best Buy by any third party against Best Buy or by Best Buy against any third party and with respect to which Executive has knowledge.  Executive also agrees to reasonably cooperate in any internal or external investigations as may be requested by Best Buy.  Executive agrees that his reasonable cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, being reasonably available to meet with Best Buy’s investigator or counsel to provide relevant information, to prepare for discovery, mediation, arbitration, trial, administrative hearing or other proceedings, and to act as a witness when requested by Best Buy at reasonable times and locations designated by Best Buy.  Best Buy agrees to reimburse Executive for his reasonable out of pocket costs in providing cooperation under this Section, including travel expenses, meals and lodging, but not for his time.

			Executive hereby acknowledges that:

				 b.
			

			
	
			
			he is hereby offered copies of any and all plan documents referred to in this Agreement, as well as any documents which he feels he otherwise wishes to review in advance of signing this Agreement;

				 c.
			

			
	
			
			through this Agreement, he will receive substantial consideration for which he agrees to undertake the obligations set forth in this Agreement;

			he has the intention of releasing all claims recited herein in exchange for the consideration described herein, which he acknowledges as adequate and satisfactory to him; and

				 21.
			This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted under, the laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions or canons of construction that construe agreements against the draftsperson.  Further,  any disputes regarding Executive’s employment or employment termination, or this Agreement, are subject to Best Buy’s Arbitration Policy, and this Agreement does not supersede that Policy.   The enforceability and interpretation of that Policy are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

			
	
			
				 22.
			Executive has the right to take 45 days to consider whether to sign this Agreement.  If Executive does sign this Agreement, he then has the right to revoke this Agreement within 15 days after he signs it by giving written notice of such revocation to Best Buy (Attention: Charlie Montreuil, 7601 Penn Ave. South, Richfield, Minnesota 55423).  If Executive exercises this right of revocation, this Agreement shall be null and void.  

			
	
			
				 23.
			The parties affirm that the terms stated herein are the only consideration for signing this Agreement, and that no other representations, promises, or agreements of any kind have been made to them by any person or entity whatsoever to cause them to sign this Agreement. 

			
	
			
				 24.
			The parties agree that if any provision, or portion of a provision, of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the invalid or unenforceable provision and will be interpreted so as to effect, as closely as possible, the intent of the parties hereto.
