 CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

THIS CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 5, 2013 (the “Closing
Date”) by and among MIDCAP FINANCIAL SBIC, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MidCap”), as administrative agent (“Agent”), the Lenders listed on the Credit Facility Schedule attached hereto
and otherwise party hereto from time to time (each a “Lender”, and collectively the “Lenders”), BIODELIVERY SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“BDSI”), ARIUS
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“API”), ARIUS TWO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Arius Two” and, together with BDSI, API and any other entity that becomes a party hereto in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, collectively and in the singular, “Borrower”), provides the terms on which Lenders agree to lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lenders. The parties agree as follows: 

 

	 	1	ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS 

 Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made in accordance with GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in
this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All
headings numbered without a decimal point are herein referred to as “Articles,” and all paragraphs numbered with a decimal point (and all subparagraphs or subsections thereof) are herein referred to as “Sections.” 

 

	 	2	CREDIT FACILITIES AND TERMS 

 2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender in accordance with each Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share of each Credit Facility, the outstanding
principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by the Lenders under such Credit Facility and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 

2.2 Credit Facilities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, severally, but not jointly, agrees to make
available to Borrower Credit Extensions in respect of each Credit Facility set forth opposite such Lender’s name on the Credit Facility Schedule, in each case not to exceed such Lender’s commitment as identified on the Credit Facility
Schedule (such commitment of each Lender, as it may be amended to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Agreement or terminated or reduced in accordance with this Agreement, its “Applicable Commitment”, and the aggregate
of all such commitments, the “Applicable Commitments”). As of the Closing Date, Lenders have agreed to make available to Borrower one Credit Facility of $20,000,000 to be advanced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 2.3 Term Credit Facilities. 
 (a) Nature of Credit Facility; Credit Extension Requests. For any Credit Facility identified on the Credit Facility Schedule as a term facility (a “Term Credit Facility”),
Credit Extensions in respect of a Term Credit Facility may be requested by Borrower during the Draw Period for such Term Credit Facility. To the extent any Term Credit Facility proceeds are repaid for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily
(including repayments from insurance or condemnation proceeds), Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to re-advance such sums to Borrower. 
 (b) Principal Payments. Principal payable on account of a Term Credit Facility shall be payable by Borrower to Agent immediately upon the earliest of (i) the date(s) set forth in the
Amortization Schedule for such Term Credit Facility (or if no such Amortization Schedule is attached, then upon Agent’s demand for payment), or (ii) the Maturity Date. Except as this Agreement may specifically provide
otherwise, all prepayments of Credit Extensions under 

  
 1 

 Confidential Treatment Requested by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.,

 Confidential treatment requested with respect to certain portions hereof denoted with “***” 

 

 
Term Credit Facilities shall be applied by Agent to the applicable Term Credit Facility pro rata against all such scheduled principal payments based upon the respective amounts thereof. After any
partial prepayment of a Term Credit Facility, whether mandatory or optional, the monthly payments required under the Amortization Schedule for the applicable Term Credit Facility shall be adjusted to reflect such partial prepayment (an
“Adjusted Amortization Schedule”). After any partial prepayment of a Term Credit Facility, Agent will replace the Amortization Schedule for such Term Credit Facility attached hereto with the Adjusted Amortization Schedule. Any
Adjusted Amortization Schedule setting forth the adjusted principal payable on account of a Term Credit Facility after a partial prepayment shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. 

(c) Mandatory Prepayment. If a Term Credit Facility is accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Agent, for payment to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal of the Term Credit Facility and all other Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, (ii) any fees payable under the Fee Letters by reason of such prepayment, (iii) the Applicable Prepayment Fee as specified in the Credit Facility Schedule for the Credit Facility being prepaid, and (iv) all other
sums that shall have become due and payable, including Protective Advances. 
 (d) Permitted Prepayment. Except as
provided below, Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Credit Extensions made in respect of a Term Credit Facility. After the Closed Period, if any, for the applicable Term Credit Facility as specified in the Credit Facility Schedule, Borrower
shall have the option to prepay (i) the Prepayable Amount (as defined below) or (ii) upon the occurrence, and within ***, of a Qualifying Prepayment Event (as defined below), the Datalock Prepayable Amount (as defined below), in each case,
of a Term Credit Facility advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (1) provides written notice to Agent of its election to prepay the Prepayable Amount at least *** prior to such prepayment (or in the case of the
Datalock Prepayable Amount, at least *** prior to such prepayment), and (2) pays to Agent, for payment to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, on the date of such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the
Prepayable Amount or Datalock Prepayable Amount, as applicable, plus accrued interest thereon, (B) any fees payable under the Fee Letters by reason of such prepayment, (C) the Applicable Prepayment Fee as specified in the Credit Facility
Schedule for the Credit Facility being prepaid, and (D) all Protective Advances. The term “Prepayable Amount” means all or any portion of the Credit Extensions under the applicable Term Credit Facility. The term
“Datalock Prepayable Amount” means fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Credit Extensions and all other Obligations under all Term Credit Facilities. The term “Qualifying Prepayment Event” means the
receipt by Borrower (pursuant to evidence satisfactory to Agent in its discretion) of the second Database Lock Payment. 
 2.4
Reserved. 
 2.5 Reserved. 
 2.6 Interest and Payments; Administration. 
 (a) Interest; Computation
of Interest. Each Credit Extension shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate. Each Lender may, upon the failure of
Borrower to pay any fees or interest as required herein, capitalize such interest and fees and begin to accrue interest thereon until paid in full, which such interest shall be at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate unless and
until the Default Rate shall otherwise apply. All other Obligations shall bear interest on the outstanding amount thereof from the date they first become payable by Borrower under the Financing Documents until paid in full at a rate per annum equal
to the Applicable Interest Rate unless and until the Default Rate shall otherwise apply. Interest on the Credit Extensions and all fees payable under the Financing Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension or other advance, the date of the making of such Credit Extension or advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded;
provided, however, that if any Credit Extension or advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension or advance. As of each Applicable Interest Rate
Determination Date, Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Credit Extensions. 

(b) Default Rate. Upon the election of Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is four hundred basis points (4.00%) above the 

  
 2 

 Confidential Treatment Requested by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.,

 Confidential treatment requested with respect to certain portions hereof denoted with “***” 

 

 
rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this subsection is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders. 
 (c) Payments Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.6(c), all payments in respect of the Obligations shall be made to Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Share. Payments of principal and interest in respect of any Credit Facility identified on the Credit Facility Schedule as “Term” shall be made to each applicable Lender. All Obligations are payable upon
demand of Agent in the absence of any other due date specified herein. All fees payable under the Financing Documents shall be deemed non-refundable as of the date paid. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon New York time
are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue
until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower under any Financing Document shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The balance of the Obligations, as
recorded in Agent’s books and records at any time, shall be conclusive and binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by each Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure to so record
or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under any Financing Document. Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrower with a monthly statement regarding the Credit
Extensions (but neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Agent shall fail to provide any such statement). Unless Borrower notifies Agent of any objection to any such statement (specifically describing the basis for such objection)
within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein. 

(d) Interest Payments; Maturity Date. Commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date following the funding of a Credit Extension, and
continuing on the Payment Date of each successive month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest, in arrears, calculated as set forth in this Section 2.6. All unpaid principal and
accrued interest is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or any earlier date specified herein. If the Obligations are not paid in full on or before the Maturity Date, all interest thereafter accruing shall be payable immediately upon
accrual. 
 (e) Fees. Borrower shall pay, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letters, to Agent and
each Lender, for their own accounts and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, the fees set forth in the Fee Letters. 
 (f)
Protective Advances. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of Lenders all Protective Advances (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement, the Warrants and the other
Financing Documents) when due under any Financing Document (and in the absence of any other due date specified herein, such Protective Advances shall be due upon demand). 
 (g) Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest charged hereunder with respect to the Obligations exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Laws of the State of New York.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged
(the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the
Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been
received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in
which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received, had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.
If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Lender’s Credit Extensions or to
other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such Credit Extensions or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower. In computing interest payable with reference to the
Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

 (h) Taxes; Additional Costs. 

(i) All payments of principal and interest on the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever
(including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s net income by the jurisdictions under which Agent or such Lender is organized or conducts
business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by
any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrower will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to
Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Agent for the account of Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the
net amount actually received by Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Agent or any Lender with
respect to any payment received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net
amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after
the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Agent or such Lender first made written demand therefor. 
 (ii) If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the account of Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 

(iii) Each Lender that (A) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, and (B) purports to
become an assignee of an interest as a Lender under this Agreement after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “Foreign Lender”) shall execute
and deliver to each of Borrower and Agent one or more (as Borrower or Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed
by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Agent certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts
to any Lender pursuant to this subsection (h) with respect to United States withholding and income Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply
with this paragraph other than as a result of a change in law. 
 (iv) If any Lender shall determine in its commercially
reasonable judgment that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request,
guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but
for such adoption, taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time,
upon written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall
promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date
on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee

on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a
“change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 
 (v) If any Lender requires
compensation under this subsection (h), or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this subsection (h), then, upon the written request of Borrower, such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Credit Extensions hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such subsection, as the case may be, in the future, and (B) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (i) Administrative Fees and Charges. 

(i) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, all reasonable fees and expenses in
connection with audits and inspections of the books and records of the Credit Parties, audits, valuations or appraisals of the Collateral, audits of Borrower’s compliance with applicable Laws and such other matters as Agent shall deem
reasonably appropriate, which shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance by Agent of a written request for payment thereof to any Borrower; provided, that, as long as no Default has
occurred within the preceding twelve (12) months, Agent shall be entitled to such reimbursement for no more than one audit and inspection per calendar year. 
 (ii) If payments of principal or interest due on the Obligations, or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, are not timely made and remain overdue for a period of
***, Borrower, without notice or demand by Agent, promptly shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, as additional compensation to Agent in administering the Obligations, an amount equal to five
percent (5.0%) of each delinquent payment. 
 2.7 Secured Promissory Notes. At the election of any Lender
made as to each Credit Facility for which it has made Credit Extensions, each Credit Facility shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (each a “Secured Promissory Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Promissory Note in the same principal
amount thereof and of like tenor. 
  

	 	3	CONDITIONS OF CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. Each Lender’s obligation to make an advance in respect of a Credit Facility is subject to the condition precedent that Agent shall consent
to or shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, such documents, and completion of such other matters, as Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, all items listed on the Closing
Deliveries Schedule attached hereto. 
 3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of each
Lender to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following conditions precedent: 

(a) satisfaction of all Applicable Funding Conditions for the applicable Credit Extension as set forth in the Credit Facility
Schedule, each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and each Lender; 
 (b) for Credit Extensions made after the
Closing Date, if any, timely receipt by the Agent and each Lender of an executed Credit Extension Form in the form attached hereto; 
 (c) (i) for Credit Extensions made on the Closing Date, the representations and warranties in Article 5 and elsewhere in the Financing Documents shall be true, correct and complete in all respects
on the Closing Date; provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, correct and complete in all respects as of such date; and 

(ii) for Credit Extension made after the Closing Date, if any, the representations and warranties in Article 5 and elsewhere in
the Financing Documents shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects on the date of the Credit Extension Form and on the Funding Date of each Credit Extension; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier shall
not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and provided, further that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date
shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date. Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Article 5 and elsewhere in the Financing
Documents remain true, accurate and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by
materiality in the text thereof; and provided, further that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date;

 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result from
the Credit Extension; 
 (e) Agent shall be satisfied with the results of any searches conducted under Section 3.5;

 (f) receipt by Agent of such evidence as Agent shall request to confirm that the deliveries made in Section 3.1 remain
current, accurate and in full force and effect, or if not, updates thereto, each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent; and 
 (g) as determined in such Lender’s sole discretion, there has not been any Material Adverse Change or any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower
presented to and accepted by Agent. 
 3.3 Method of Borrowing. Each Credit Extension in respect of each Credit Facility
shall be in an amount at least equal to the applicable Minimum Credit Extension Amount for such Credit Facility as set forth in the Credit Facility Schedule or such lesser amount as shall remain undisbursed under the Applicable Commitments for such
Credit Facility. The date of funding for any requested Credit Extension shall be a Business Day. To obtain a Credit Extension, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a completed Credit Extension Form executed by a Responsible Officer. Agent may rely on any
notice given by a person whom Agent reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee thereof. Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any such notice. 

3.4 Funding of Credit Facilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not
jointly, shall make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of the requested Credit Extension, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the specified date for the Credit
Extension. Agent shall, unless it shall have determined that one of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2, as applicable, has not been satisfied, by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, credit the amounts received by it in like funds
to Borrower by wire transfer to the Designated Funding Account (or to the account of Borrower in respect of the Obligations, if the Credit Extension is being made to pay an Obligation of Borrower). A Credit Extension made prior to the satisfaction
of any conditions set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of Borrower’s obligation to satisfy such conditions, and any such Credit Extension made in the absence of such satisfaction shall be made
in Agent’s discretion. 
 3.5 Searches. Before the Closing Date, and thereafter (as and when determined by Agent in
its discretion), Agent shall have the right to perform, all at Borrower’s expense, the searches described in clauses (a), (b), and (c) below against Borrower and any other Credit Party, the results of which are to be consistent with

fixture filings searches; (b) judgment, pending litigation, federal tax lien, personal property tax lien, and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (a) above; and (c) searches of
applicable corporate, limited liability company, partnership and related records to confirm the continued existence, organization and good standing of the applicable Person and the exact legal name under which such Person is organized.

	 	4	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 

 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing
security interest in, and pledges to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Excluded Intellectual Property Collateral), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the
Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens that may have priority by operation of applicable Law or by the terms of a written intercreditor or subordination agreement entered into by Agent. 

4.2 Representations and Covenants. 
 (a) As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no ownership interest in any Chattel Paper, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims, Instruments, documents or investment property (other than equity
interests in any Subsidiaries of Borrower disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto). 
 (b) Borrower shall deliver
to Agent all tangible Chattel Paper and all Instruments and documents owned by any Borrower and constituting part of the Collateral duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower shall provide Agent with “control” (as in the Code) of all electronic Chattel Paper owned by any Borrower and constituting part of the Collateral by having Agent identified as the assignee on the
records pertaining to the single authoritative copy thereof and otherwise complying with the applicable elements of control set forth in the Code. Borrower also shall deliver to Agent all security agreements securing any such Chattel Paper and
securing any such Instruments. Borrower will mark conspicuously all such Chattel Paper and all such Instruments and Documents with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, indicating that such Chattel Paper and such
Instruments and Documents are subject to the security interests and Liens in favor of Agent created pursuant to this Agreement and the Financing Documents. 
 (c) Borrower shall deliver to Agent all letters of credit on which any Borrower is the beneficiary and which give rise to letter of credit rights owned by such Borrower which constitute part of the
Collateral in each case duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Borrower shall take any and all actions as may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent
may request, from time to time, to cause Agent to obtain exclusive “control” (as defined in the Code) of any such letter of credit rights in a manner acceptable to Agent. 

(d) Borrower shall promptly advise Agent upon any Borrower becoming aware that it has any interests in any commercial tort claim that
constitutes part of the Collateral, which such notice shall include descriptions of the events and circumstances giving rise to such commercial tort claim and the dates such events and circumstances occurred, the potential defendants with respect
such commercial tort claim and any court proceedings that have been instituted with respect to such commercial tort claims, and Borrower shall, with respect to any such commercial tort claim, execute and deliver to Agent such documents as Agent
shall request to perfect, preserve or protect the Liens, rights and remedies of Agent with respect to any such commercial tort claim. 
 (e) Except for Accounts and Inventory in an aggregate amount of ***, no Accounts or Inventory or other Collateral shall at any time be in the possession or control of any warehouse, consignee,
bailee or any of Borrower’s agents or processors without prior written notice to Agent and the receipt by Agent, if Agent has so requested, of warehouse receipts, consignment agreements or bailee lien waivers (as applicable) satisfactory to
Agent prior to the commencement of such possession or control. Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent, notify any such warehouse, consignee, bailee, agent or processor of the security interests and Liens in favor of Agent created pursuant to this
Agreement and the Financing Documents, instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral for Agent’s account subject to Agent’s instructions and shall obtain an acknowledgement from such Person that such Person holds the Collateral for
Agent’s benefit.

 (f) Upon request of Agent, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent any and all
certificates of title, applications for title or similar evidence of ownership of all such tangible personal property and shall cause Agent to be named as lienholder on any such certificate of title or other evidence of ownership. Borrower shall not
permit any such tangible personal property to become fixtures to real estate unless such real estate is subject to a Lien in favor of Agent. 
 (g) Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file without the signature of such Borrower one or more UCC financing statements relating to its Liens on all or any part of the Collateral, which financing
statements may list Agent as the “secured party” and such Borrower as the “debtor” and which describe and indicate the collateral covered thereby as all or any part of the Collateral under the Financing Documents in such
jurisdictions as Agent from time to time determines are appropriate, and to file without the signature of such Borrower any continuations of or corrective amendments to any such financing statements, in any such case in order for Agent to perfect,
preserve or protect the Liens, rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the Collateral. Each Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed
prior to the date hereof. Any financing statement may include a notice that any disposition of the Collateral not expressly permitted hereunder, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Agent and the Lenders
under the Code. 
 (h) As of the Closing Date, no Borrower holds, and after the Closing Date Borrower shall promptly notify
Agent in writing upon creation or acquisition by any Borrower of, any Collateral which constitutes a claim against any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the federal government of the United States or any instrumentality or
agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by any applicable Law, including, without limitation, the federal Assignment of Claims Act and any other comparable Law. Upon the request of Agent, Borrower shall take such steps as may be
necessary or desirable, or that Agent may request, to comply with any such applicable Law. 
 (i) Borrower shall furnish to

registrations, filings or issuances, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Borrower shall not become a party to, nor become bound by, any material license or other agreement with
respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or other property. Aside of and separate from any litigation matter

activity to change if such change would render such Borrower ineligible for financing pursuant to 13 C.F.R. Section 107.720. So long as any Obligations are owing to Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents, the Borrower will at all
times comply with all non-discrimination requirements applicable to the Borrower under federal law.

of such Account; 
 (iv) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral
and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent designates. Agent may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at a Credit Party’s premises and may
dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs. Borrower grants Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies; 

(v) pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses
incurred; 
 (vi) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, the

marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral (and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed
items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Article 10, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and
all franchise agreements shall be deemed to inure to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; 
 (vii) place a “hold” on
any account maintained with Agent or the Lenders or any Affiliate of Agent or a Lender and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements
providing control of any Collateral;

Parties; and 
 (ix) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Agent under the Financing Documents or at law or

10.3 Notices. Any notice that Agent is required to give to a Credit Party under the Code of the time and place of any public sale
or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given in accordance with this Agreement at least *** prior to such
action. 
 10.4 Protective Payments. If any Credit Party fails to pay or perform any covenant or obligation under this
Agreement or any other Financing Document, Agent may pay or perform such covenant or obligation, and all amounts so paid by Agent are Protective Advances and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate for the
Credit Facilities hereunder, and secured by the Collateral. No such payments or performance by Agent shall be construed as an agreement to make similar payments or performance in the future or constitute Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 10.5 Liability for Collateral No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. So long as Agent

safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of
Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents are cumulative. Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by Law, or in equity. Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and
Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 
 10.6 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
(i) Borrower, for itself and the other Credit Parties, irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrower of all or any part of the
Obligations, and, as between Borrower and the Credit Parties on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in
such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Agent, and (ii) unless the Agent and the Lenders shall agree otherwise, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
shall be applied: first, to the Protective Advances; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Credit Parties owing to Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents. Borrower shall remain fully
liable for any deficiency. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Unless the Agent and the Lenders shall agree
otherwise, in carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a
payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. 
 10.7 Waivers. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent or Lenders may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s or any Lender’s entry upon
the premises of a Borrower, the taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent or any
Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other
Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby. 
 (b) Each Borrower for itself and all its successors
and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of
time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Agent or any Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof,
with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder;
(iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower, Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waives the
benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

 (c) To the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with
any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing of the Credit Facilities or to any subsequent disbursement of Credit Extensions, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or any Lender of such requirements with
respect to any future Credit Extensions and Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrower to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Agent or a Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing
Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including any failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Credit Facilities, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a novation of the
Financing Documents or as a reinstatement of the Obligations or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Agent’s or any Lender’s acceptance of payment of
any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Agent’s and such Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default
for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Agent’s right to accelerate the maturity of the
Obligations, nor shall Agent’s receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party’s default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.

 (d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower
agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided
to Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties owned by Borrower and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements
securing the Obligations have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents. 
 (e) Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be
construed as requiring Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Agent may seek
satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors
and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the separate sale of any of the Collateral or require Agent or Lenders to exhaust their
remedies against any part of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Agent, the
foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part of the Collateral. 
 10.8 Injunctive Relief. The parties
acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any Credit Party’s obligations under any Financing Documents, Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an
injunction (including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, maintaining any cash
management and collection procedure described herein. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing
Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section 10.8 as if this Section 10.8 were a part of each Financing Document executed by such Credit Party.

	 	13	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

13.1 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Agent’s
prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s discretion). Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s Applicable Commitment and/or Credit Extensions,
together with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Borrower and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until Agent shall have received and accepted
an effective assignment agreement in form and substance acceptable to Agent, executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee as Agent
reasonably shall require. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. If requested by Agent, Borrower agrees to (i) execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of an Applicable Commitment or Credit Extension to an assignee
hereunder, (ii) make Borrower’s management available to meet with Agent and prospective participants and assignees of Applicable Commitments or Credit Extensions and (iii) assist Agent or the Lenders in the preparation of information
relating to the financial affairs of Borrower as any prospective participant or assignee of an Applicable Commitment or Credit Extension reasonably may request. 
 (b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender)
pursuant to an effective assignment agreement, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible
Assignee’s Credit Extensions or Applicable Commitments (and, as applicable, secured promissory notes in the principal amount of that portion of the principal amount of the Credit Extensions or Applicable Commitments retained by the assigning
Lender). 
 (c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its offices located in
Bethesda, Maryland a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names

and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Credit Extensions owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be
conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.

 13.2 Indemnification.  

(a) Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay (i) all costs and expenses of Agent (including, without limitation, the fees, costs and
expenses of counsel to, and independent appraisers and consultants retained by Agent) in connection with the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated by
the Financing Documents, in connection with the performance by Agent of its rights and remedies under the Financing Documents and in connection with the continued administration of the Financing Documents including (A) any amendments,
modifications, consents and waivers to and/or under any and all Financing Documents, and (B) any periodic public record searches conducted by or at the request of Agent (including, without limitation, title investigations, UCC searches, fixture
filing searches, judgment, pending litigation and tax lien searches and searches of applicable corporate, limited liability, partnership and related records concerning the continued existence, organization and good standing of certain Persons);
(ii) without limitation of the preceding clause (i), all costs and expenses of Agent in connection with the creation, perfection and maintenance of Liens pursuant to the Financing Documents; (iii) without limitation of the preceding clause
(i), all costs and expenses of Agent in connection with (A) protecting, storing, insuring, handling, maintaining or selling any Collateral, (B) any litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to any Financing Document, and
(C) any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings under any and all of the Financing Documents; (iv) without limitation of the preceding clause (i), all costs and expenses of Agent in connection with
Agent’s reservation of funds in anticipation of the funding of the Credit Extensions to be made hereunder; and (v) all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Lenders in connection with any litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating
to any Financing Document and in connection with any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings under any and all Financing Documents, whether or not Agent or Lenders are a party thereto. 

(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agent and Lenders and the officers, directors, employees, trustees,
agents, investment advisors, collateral managers, servicers, and counsel of Agent and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial
matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of a Credit Party, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental
consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby, which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Credit Facilities, except that Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to an Indemnitee with respect to any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the
undertaking set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified
liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligations of Borrower under this Section 13.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement. NO INDEMNITEE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR
INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 
 13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the payment and performance of the
Obligations in this Agreement.

 13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable
from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision. 
 13.5 Correction of Financing Documents.
Agent and the Lenders may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties. 
 13.6 Integration. This Agreement and the Financing Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Financing Documents merge into this Agreement and the Financing Documents. 

13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts,
each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 13.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made
in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this
Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 13.2 to indemnify each Lender and Agent shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run. All powers of attorney
and appointments of Agent or any Lender as Borrower’s attorney in fact hereunder, and all of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and powers in respect thereof, are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been fully repaid and performed and Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates. 
 13.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Borrower (including, without limitation,
all non-publicly available information, reports and data provided by Borrower to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of Articles 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement or otherwise), each of the Lenders and Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to
maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, and not use (other than as permitted by this Agreement or any Financing Document) the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Financing Document and designated in writing by
any Credit Party as confidential, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to the Lenders’ and Agent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions to the
extent any such Person is bound by obligations of confidentiality; (c) as required by Law, regulation, subpoena, order or other legal, administrative, governmental or regulatory request; (d) to regulators or as otherwise required in
connection with an examination or audit, or to any nationally recognized rating agency; (e) as Agent or any Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Financing Documents; (f) to financing sources that are advised of the
confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential; (g) to third party service providers of the Lenders and/or Agent so long as such service providers are bound to such Lender or Agent by
obligations of confidentiality; (h) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements; and (i) in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates is
a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Affiliates referring to a Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates. Confidential information does not include information that
either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Lenders’ and/or Agent’s possession when disclosed to the Lenders and/or Agent, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Lenders and/or Agent; or (ii) is disclosed
to the Lenders and/or Agent by a third party, if the Lenders and/or Agent does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Agent and/or Lenders may use confidential information for any purpose (other than as
prohibited by Law), including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as Agent and/or Lenders, as applicable, do not disclose Borrower’s identity or the identity of any
Person associated with Borrower unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The agreements provided under this Section 13.9 supersede all
prior agreements, understanding, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Section 13.9. 
 13.10 Right of Set-off. Borrower hereby grants to Agent and to each Lender, a lien, security interest and right of set-off as security for all Obligations to Agent and each Lender hereunder,
whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of 

  
 29 

 Confidential Treatment Requested by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.,

 Confidential treatment requested with respect to certain portions hereof denoted with “***” 

 

 
Agent or the Lenders or any entity under the control of Agent or the Lenders (including an Agent or Lender Affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or the Lenders may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any
other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 
 13.11
Publicity. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, denied, conditioned or delayed solely with respect to voluntary disclosures relating to advertising and promotional materials) directly
or indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any public disclosure, advertising material, promotional material, press release or interview, any reference to the name, logo or any trademark of Agent or any Lender or any of their Affiliates or
any reference to this Agreement or the financing evidenced hereby, in any case except as required by applicable Law (including in any filings with the SEC), subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case Borrower shall endeavor to give Agent
prior written notice of such publication or other disclosure. Each Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to publish the name of such Lender and Borrower, the existence of the financing arrangements referenced under this Agreement, the
primary purpose and/or structure of those arrangements, the amount of credit extended under each facility, the title and role of each party to this Agreement, and the total amount of the financing evidenced hereby in any “tombstone”,
comparable advertisement or press release which such Lender elects to submit for publication. In addition, each Lender and Borrower agrees that each Lender may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary for
inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date. With respect to any of the foregoing, such authorization shall be subject to such Lender providing Borrower and the other Lenders with an opportunity to review and confer with such
Lender regarding, and approve, the contents of any such tombstone, advertisement or information, as applicable, prior to its initial submission for publication, but subsequent publications of the same tombstone, advertisement or information shall
not require Borrower’s approval. 
 13.12 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 13.13
Approvals. Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Agent or Lenders with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents may be granted or
withheld by Agent and Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion and credit judgment. 
 13.14 Amendments; Required
Lenders; Inter-Lender Matters. 
 (a) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Financing Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom (in each case, other than amendments, waivers, approvals or consents deemed ministerial by Agent), shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower, Agent and Required Lenders. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of the
“Lenders” shall require the written consent of Required Lenders. 
 (b) No amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent and by each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase or decrease the Applicable Commitment of any Lender (which shall
be deemed to affect all Lenders), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Obligation or the amount of any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for or waive any payment of principal of or interest on any
Credit Extension, or any fees or reimbursement obligation hereunder, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or consent to a transfer of any of the Intellectual Property, in each case, except as otherwise expressly permitted in
the Financing Documents (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (v) subordinate the lien granted in favor of Agent securing the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders, except as otherwise provided below),
(vi) release a Credit Party from, or consent to a Credit Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Credit Party’s obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents or any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Obligations
(which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders) or (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive this Section

13.14(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or
otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender. For purposes of the foregoing, no Lender shall be deemed affected by (i) waiver of the imposition of the Default
Rate or imposition of the Default Rate to only a portion of the Obligations, (ii) waiver of the accrual of late charges, (iii) waiver of any fee solely payable to Agent under the Financing Documents, (iv) subordination of a lien
granted in favor of Agent provided such subordination is limited to equipment being financed by a third party providing Permitted Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 13.14 to the contrary, no amendment, modification,
termination or waiver affecting or modifying the rights or obligations of Agent hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and Required Lenders 
 (c) Agent shall not grant its written consent to any deviation or departure by Borrower or any Credit Party from the provisions of Article 7 without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.
Required Lenders shall have the right to direct Agent to take any action described in Section 10.2(b). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in Section 10.2
without the written consent of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an “Exigent Circumstance” (as defined below). All matters requiring the satisfaction or acceptance of Agent in the definition of Subordinated Debt shall further
require the satisfaction and acceptance of each Required Lender. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar
terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise. As used in this Section 13.14(c), “Exigent Circumstance” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, imminently threatens the
ability of Agent to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrower after reasonable
demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Agent, could result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral. 
 13.15 Borrower Liability. If there is more than one entity comprising Borrower, then (a) any Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder, (b) each Borrower hereby
appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder, (c) each Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay and perform all obligations under the
Financing Documents, including, but not limited to, the obligation to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder and all other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extensions, as if each Borrower directly received
all Credit Extensions, and (d) each Borrower waives (i) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (ii) any right to require the Lenders or Agent to: (A) proceed against any Borrower
or any other person; (B) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (C) pursue any other remedy. The Lenders or Agent may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy they have against any Credit Party or any security (including the
right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any other Credit Party’s liability or any Lien against any other Credit Party’s assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related
document, until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Applicable Commitments, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the
rights of the Lenders and Agent under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Credit Party, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the
Obligations, for any payment made by any Credit Party with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a
result of any payment made by a Credit Party with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this
Section 13.15 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Credit Party in contravention of this Section 13.15, such Credit Party shall hold such payment in trust for the Lenders and Agent and such payment shall be promptly
delivered to Agent for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 
 13.16 Reinstatement. This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition or other proceeding be filed by or against any Credit Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Credit Party become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should an interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Credit Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the
Obligations, whether as a fraudulent preference reviewable transaction or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 13.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notification. Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) and each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of Borrower and such other information that will allow Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 13.18 Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any warrants issued to the Lenders by any Credit Party, the stock issuable thereunder, any equity securities purchased by Lenders,
any amounts paid thereunder, any dividends, and any other rights in connection therewith shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall affect any Lender’s rights under any such warrants, stock, or
other equity securities to administer, manage, transfer, assign, or exercise such warrants, stock, or other equity securities for its own account. 
  

	 	14	AGENT 

 14.1
Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Financing Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the
benefit of Agent and Lenders and none of Credit Parties nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Financing Document, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Financing Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising
under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (a) act as collateral agent for Agent and each Lender for purposes of the perfection of all
liens created by the Financing Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (b) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (c) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority
of the liens created or purported to be created by the Financing Documents, (d) except as may be otherwise specified in any Financing Document, exercise all remedies given to Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether
under the Financing Documents, applicable law or otherwise and (e) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Financing Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver;
provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all liens with respect to the Collateral, including any
deposit account maintained by a Credit Party with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such liens or
otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed.

 14.2 Successor Agent. 

(a) Agent may at any time assign its rights, powers, privileges and duties hereunder to (i) another Lender, or (ii) any Person
to whom Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has assigned (or will assign, in conjunction with such assignment of agency rights hereunder) fifty percent (50%) or more of the Credit Extensions or Applicable Commitments then held by Agent (in its
capacity as a Lender), in each case without the consent of the Lenders or Borrower. Following any such assignment, Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and Borrower. An assignment by Agent pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be deemed a
resignation by Agent for purposes of subsection (b) below. 
 (b) Without limiting the rights of Agent to designate an
assignee pursuant to subsection (a) above, Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) Business Days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided, however, that if Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice
from Agent that no Person has accepted such appointment and, from and following delivery of such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and
(ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this
subsection (b). 
 (c) Upon (i) an assignment permitted by subsection (a) above, or (ii) the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Agent pursuant to subsection (b) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this subsection (c)). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article 14 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Agent. 

14.3 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Financing Document by or through
its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such Person to whom Agent delegates a duty shall benefit from this Article 14 to the extent
provided by Agent. 
 14.4 Liability of Agent. Except as otherwise provided herein, no “Agent-Related Person”
(as defined below) shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any
officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Financing Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Financing
Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Financing Document to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Financing Document, or to inspect the Collateral, other properties or books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The term “Agent-Related Person” means the Agent, together with its Affiliates, and the officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, auditors and attorneys-in-fact of such Persons; provided, however, that no Agent-Related Person shall be an Affiliate of Borrower. 

14.5 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication,
signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or 

  
 33 

 Confidential Treatment Requested by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.,

 Confidential treatment requested with respect to certain portions hereof denoted with “***” 

 

 
telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Financing
Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or any Financing Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to any potential liability under any law, statute or regulation or
(c) if Agent shall not first have received such advice or concurrence of all Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Financing Document in accordance with a
request or consent of all Lenders (or Required Lenders where authorized herein) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 

14.6 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default and/or Event of
Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice in the manner provided for herein from a Lender or Borrower, describing such default or Event of Default. Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. While an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders,
including without limitation, satisfaction of other security interests, liens or encumbrances on the Collateral not permitted under the Financing Documents, payment of taxes on behalf of Borrower or any other Credit Party, payments to landlords,
warehouseman, bailees and other Persons in possession of the Collateral and other actions to protect and safeguard the Collateral, and actions with respect to insurance claims for casualty events affecting a Credit Party and/or the Collateral.

 14.7 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has
made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent herein, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

14.8 Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, severally
and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and hold harmless each
Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (which shall not include legal expenses of Agent incurred in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by it; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section 14.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall, severally and pro rata based on its respective Pro Rata Share, reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Protective Advances incurred after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) incurred by Agent (in its capacity as Agent, and not as a Lender) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Financing Document, or any document contemplated by
or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 14.8 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and
the resignation of Agent.

 14.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Credit Extensions,
MidCap shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include MidCap in its individual
capacity. MidCap and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party and any of their Affiliates and any person who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any of
their Affiliates, all as if MidCap were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. MidCap and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from a Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between MidCap as a Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Credit Extensions and MidCap as Agent, and expressly consents to, and
waives, any claim based upon, such conflict of interest. 
 14.10 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Credit Extension, shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on such Credit Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit
Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding); and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, including Protective Advances. To the extent that Agent fails timely to do so, each Lender may file a claim relating to such Lender’s claim. 

14.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
(a) any Credit Party and any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Agent under any Financing Document upon the date that all Obligations due hereunder have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full and no Applicable Commitments or other
obligations of any Lender to provide funds to Borrower under this Agreement remain outstanding, and (b) any Lien on any Collateral that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or
under any other Financing Document. Upon request by Agent at any time, all Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11. 

14.12 Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders. 
 (a) Advances; Payments. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day. To the extent that any Lender has failed to fund any Credit Extension (a “Non-Funding Lender”), Agent shall be entitled to set-off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower.

 (b) Return of Payments. 

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be
received by Agent from a Credit Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount (including interest accruing on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and
thereafter, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligation) from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 
 (ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to a Credit Party or paid to any other person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise,
then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of
such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to a Credit Party or such other person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 

14.13 Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Credit Extension or make any other advance required hereunder. The failure of any Non-Funding
Lender to make any Credit Extension or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Credit Extension or payment required by it,
but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Credit Extension or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding
Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lender” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under
or with respect to any Financing Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase
from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such person, all of the Applicable Commitments and all of the outstanding Credit Extensions of that Non-Funding
Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of the Credit Extensions held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an
executed assignment agreement reasonably acceptable to Agent. 
 (b) Each Lender shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such
sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Credit Extension and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by any Credit Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this
Agreement requires payments of principal and interest to be made directly to the Lenders, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date;
provided, however, if it is determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to the Agent (for Agent to redistribute to itself and the Lenders in a
manner to ensure the payment to Agent of any sums due Agent hereunder and the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Credit Extension and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements) such sums as may be necessary to
ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Agent. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities and whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of set-off, or otherwise, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then (i) the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for application
to the payments of amounts due on the other Lender’s claims, or, in the case of Collateral, shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for the Agent and other Lenders and (ii) such Lender shall promptly advise the Agent
of the receipt of such payment, and, within five (5) Business Days of such receipt and, in the case of payments and distributions, such Lender shall purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders (through the Agent), without recourse,
such participations in the Credit Extension made by the other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of a Credit Party from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 14.13(b). shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Applicable Commitment pursuant to Section 13.1. Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 

  
 36

14.13(b). may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation. No documentation other than notices and the like shall be required to implement the terms of this Section 14.13(b). The Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest
error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 14.13(b) and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases.

 ONSOLIS DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 

On March 12, 2012 BDSI announced the postponement of the U.S. relaunch of BDSI’s FDA-approved ONSOLIS® product until a product formulation could be modified to address two appearance issues raised by FDA following
an inspection of the Aveva manufacturing facility where ONSOLIS® is produced. Subsequently during 2012, FDA
requested that BDSI identify, characterize and address the formation of microscopic crystals and a slight fading of the color during the 24-month shelf life of the product. FDA believes that the fading of the color in particular may potentially
confuse patients, necessitating a modification of the product and product specifications before additional product can be manufactured and distributed. Therefore, the U.S. re-launch and additional manufacturing of ONSOLIS® was been postponed until such product appearance issues have been resolved.

 AFFILIATES TRANSACTION SCHEDULE 

BDSI has several business relationships with Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Accentia”) and its affiliates. Hopkins Capital
Group II, LLC (“HCG II”), which is controlled by Dr. Frank O’Donnell, Jr., BDSI’s Executive Chairman of the Board and which owns a significant percentage of BDSI’s Common Stock as of the Closing Date, is a significant
stockholder of Accentia. In addition, Dr. O’Donnell is also the Executive Chairman of Accentia. In addition, William S. Poole, a director of BDSI, is also a director of Accentia. Also, James A. McNulty, BDSI’s Secretary, Treasurer and
CFO, is also Secretary and Treasurer of Accentia and Chief Financial Officer of HCG II. BDSI does not have any projects with Accentia at this time, nor did BDSI in any part of 2012. 

Arius/TEAMM Distribution Agreement. On March 12, 2004, API (then a separate company) entered into a Distribution Agreement
pursuant to which it granted exclusive marketing and sales rights in the United States to TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with respect to the EmezineTM product for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. TEAMM was renamed Accentia Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. in 2007 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Accentia. As part of this agreement, TEAMM agreed to pay for the development costs of EmezineTM. BDSI received development cost reimbursements of $1.0 million in 2004 from Accentia in connection
with this agreement and an additional $300,000 in 2005 upon the acceptance of the EmezineTM NDA for filing. On December 17, 2008, in conjunction with the Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Limited (“Reckitt”) termination of the
EmezineTM agreement, the Arius TEAMM Distribution Agreement was terminated. 
 EmezineTM Settlement Agreement. On
December 30, 2009, BDSI entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Accentia, Arius and TEAMM. The purpose of such agreement was to memorialize the terms and conditions of a settlement between BDSI and
Accentia of claims by TEAMM relating to the Distribution Agreement between Arius and TEAMM. At the time the Distribution Agreement was entered into, Arius was not affiliated with BDSI. Arius was acquired by BDSI in August 2004. BDSI did not believe
that Accentia’s claims had merit, but BDSI also believed that the alternative of a protracted dispute would be distracting, time consuming and costly. As such, BDSI elected to enter into the Settlement Agreement. 

The Settlement Agreement provides that BDSI and Accentia mutually release all claims that either may have against
each other and, in connection therewith, BDSI will (a) pay $2.5 million to Accentia (paid to escrow in February 2010, which was paid upon Accentia’s emergence from bankruptcy in November 2010) (the “$2.5 Million Payment”) and
(b) grant the following royalty rights (the “Product Rights”) to Accentia with respect to BDSI’s
BEMA® Granisetron product candidate (“BEMA® Granisetron”) (or in the event it is not BEMA® Granisetron, BDSI’s third product candidate (excluding BEMA® product containing buprenorphine) as to which BDSI files an NDA, which, together with BEMA® Granisetron, the “Product”): (i) 70/30 split between BDSI and Accentia, respectively) of royalty received if a third party sells the Product and 85/15
split on net sales if BDSI sells the Product; and (ii) BDSI will, from the sale of the Product, fully recover amounts equal to (1) all internal and external worldwide development costs of the Product (“Costs”) plus interest
(measured on weighted average prime interest rate from first dollar spent until Product launch) and (2) the $2.5 Million Payment plus interest (measured on weighted average prime interest rate from the time of payment until Product launch)
before Accentia begins to receive its split as described in (b) (i) above. In addition, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, BDSI received a warrant to purchase 2 million shares of Accentia’s majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest.
The Warrant will be exercisable immediately and for a period of seven 7 years from the date of issuance. 
 BSP. On November 30, 2000, BDSI entered into an agreement with Biotech Specialty Partners, LLC (“BSP”), then an emerging alliance of early stage biotechnology and specialty
pharmaceutical companies. BSP to date has not distributed any pharmaceutical products. Under this agreement, BSP will serve as a nonexclusive distributor of our products in consideration of a ten (10%) percent discount to the wholesale price,
which BDSI’s board of directors has determined to be commercially reasonable. BSP has waived its rights under this agreement with respect to products which include the BEMA® technology. HCG is an equity owner of, and Dr. O’Donnell is a member of the management of, BSP.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into
effective as of November 30, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Ryan Faulkingham (the “Executive”) and Compass Group Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the

WHEREAS, the Manager and the Executive wish to set forth in writing the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment in this
Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, and of other good and sufficient consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Manager and the Executive, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 

Article 1. Employment, Responsibilities, and Acceptance. 

1.1 Employment. The Manager agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be so employed, on the terms set forth
herein. 
 1.2 Responsibilities. The Executive shall faithfully and diligently perform all such acts and have such
titles, duties, powers, and responsibilities as may be prescribed or delegated from time to time by the Manager of the Manager (the “Managing Member”). The Executive agrees, during his employment with the Manager, to devote
substantially all of the Executive’s attention and time during business hours to the business and affairs of the Manager, except for vacations and approved leaves of absence. The Executive agrees to adhere to all of the Manager’s policies
and procedures as they may from time to time be amended. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Executive agrees to be seconded by the Manager to Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (“CODI”) to act as its Chief Financial Officer
(“CFO”) for a period of time to be determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion. 
 1.3
Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such responsibilities and agrees to render his services hereunder fully, faithfully, and to the best of his ability, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Executive shall render services
exclusively to the Manager during the term of this Agreement, but, except as provided below in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Executive from engaging in civic, academic, professional, trade
association, not-for-profit organization, board memberships, or other personal activities which are not competitive or in conflict with the business then being conducted by the Manager or any business which, to the knowledge of the Executive, the
Manager is preparing to enter, so long as such activities do not interfere with his day-to-day duties and responsibilities hereunder. 

  
 1 

 1.4 Location. The Executive’s services under this Agreement shall principally be
performed at the Manager’s office at 61 Wilton Road, Second Floor, Westport, Connecticut, 06880, subject to reasonable domestic and overseas travel on behalf of the Manager. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he may be required to
relocate to and provide services at the Manager’s office in Irvine, California, and agrees to do so if requested. In such event, the Manager will reimburse the Executive’s reasonable relocation expenses. 

1.5 Transfer to Affiliate. In the event that the Manager transfers the Executive’s employment, and its obligations hereunder,
to an Affiliate of the Manager or an entity under the control of the Manager’s equityholders or its management team, the Manager agrees to guarantee all payments owed to the Executive hereunder, and the Executive agrees that all of his
obligations and the Manager’s rights hereunder shall accrue to the entity to which employment is transferred. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” shall mean any entity that is controlled by the Manager, or is under common
control with the Manager. 
 Article 2. Compensation. 

2.1 Base Compensation. During the Term (as defined below), the Manager shall pay an amount to the Executive in cash compensation
at the aggregate annual base rate of not less than Three Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($335,000.00) per calendar year (the “Base Salary Rate”), subject to such amounts as may be required to be withheld by law or authorized
to be withheld by the Executive, payable semi-monthly or otherwise in accordance with the Manager’s customary payment schedule for executive personnel. Such base compensation shall be reviewed at least annually and may be adjusted as may be
determined by the Manager in its sole discretion. 
 2.2 Vacation and Personal Time. During the Term, the Executive shall
be entitled to take not less than four (4) weeks’ vacation per calendar year, which may be taken at any time in accordance with the Manager’s vacation policies as determined by the Manager and so as not to interfere unreasonably with
the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. In addition to vacation time, the Executive shall be entitled to take a reasonable amount of personal time in connection with the attendance at conferences, conventions, and business
meetings related to the services to be performed by the Executive under this Agreement, provided that such personal time does not interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement, the Executive shall be compensated for all accrued and unused vacation, not to exceed four weeks at his Base Salary Rate compensation for the relevant period. 
 2.3 Proration. For the purposes of Sections 2.1 and 2.2, any period less than a full calendar year shall be prorated for the portion thereof which shall be applicable. 

2.4 Expenses. The Manager shall pay or reimburse the Executive upon the receipt of appropriate documentation, for reasonable
travel, meal and lodging expenses that he directly incurs in providing services at the request of the Manager, all subject to the terms and conditions of the then-current the Manager business expense reimbursement policy. 

  
 2 

 2.5 Annual Bonus. The Executive may be entitled to receive an
annual incentive bonus. The award of a bonus as well as the actual bonus amount, if any, payable to the Executive shall be determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, depending upon the Executive’s attainment of individual and the Manager
performance objectives. The Executive’s annual bonus, if any, shall be paid no later than
March 15th of the year following the calendar year to
which the performance objectives relate. 
 2.6 Welfare Benefits. During the Term, the Executive and the Executive’s
dependents, to the extent they are eligible, shall be eligible to participate in all group health, dental and life insurance plans and all retirement plans that in each case are generally made available from time to time to employees of the Manager.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the benefits of such plans may vary with duties, salary, and length of employment, and that any questions concerning eligibility, coverage, or duration shall be governed by the terms of the plans or
policies. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Manager reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any benefit plans, policies, and practices at any time without notice to or recourse by the Executive, so long as such
action is taken generally with respect to other similarly situated executives employed by the Manager. 
 Article 3.
Term and Termination. 
 3.1 Term. The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall begin on
the Effective Date and shall continue for one calendar year thereafter, unless sooner terminated as herein provided (the “Term”). the Executive’s employment shall be extended automatically for additional successive one
(1) year terms unless the Executive notifies the Manager or the Manager notifies the Executive in writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of any term of his or its intention not to extend the Term. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the date this Agreement is permissibly terminated by either party. 

3.2 Death. Upon the Executive’s death during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate immediately. The Manager shall pay to
the legal representative of the Executive’s estate, within thirty (30) days after the Manager is notified of the appointment thereof, all amounts due under Article 2 hereof up to the date of death. 

3.3 Inability to Perform Principal Duties. In the event the Executive becomes disabled as defined by Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A (“Section 409A”) and is unable to perform his principal duties as contemplated by this Agreement, and subject to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (or any state law counterpart thereof), if
applicable, the Manager may on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, during which time the Executive fails to resume his duties hereunder, terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, and upon such termination, the
Manager shall pay to the Executive or his legal representative, if applicable, all amounts due under Article 2 hereof up to the Termination Date. In the event the Executive at any time prior to the Termination Date disputes any determination by the
Manager of his inability to perform his principal duties, the matter shall be resolved by the determination of three physicians qualified to practice medicine in the United States, one to be selected by each of the Manager and the Executive and the
third to be selected by the designated physicians. The Executive shall otherwise comply with whatever procedures the Manager may reasonably request set forth in any long-term disability policy of the Manager. 

  
 3 

 3.4 Proper Cause. The Manager may terminate the Executive’s employment under
this Agreement for “proper cause,” without prior notice (except as otherwise specified in Sections 3.4(a) and 3.4(d), each requiring prior notice in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement
(“Notice”)). As used in this Agreement, “proper cause” shall be: 
 (a) any breach by the Executive
of any material provision of this Agreement which breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days after receiving Notice of such breach specifically citing this Section 3.4(a), provided, however, that the Manager may terminate this
Agreement immediately, without providing a cure period, in the event that the Executive breaches any provision of Article 4; 
 (b) an act of dishonesty by the Executive if such act has a material adverse impact on the financial interests or business reputation of CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates; 

(c) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder if such negligence or misconduct
has a material impact on the financial interest or business reputation of CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates; 
 (d) breach of
the Executive’s duty of loyalty or other fiduciary duties to CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates; 
 (e) willful failure of
the Executive to follow the reasonable directives of the Managing Member or the Board of Directors of CODI pertaining to legal compliance or audits of CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates within ten (10) days of receiving Notice of any such
failure to follow such directives; 
 (f) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a
crime which the Manager reasonably determines materially and adversely affects the reputation of CODI, the Manager or any of its Affiliates or the Executive’s ability to perform the services required hereunder; 

(g) a willful or reckless violation of a material regulatory requirement, or of any material written policy or procedure applicable to
CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates, that has a material adverse impact on the financial interests or business reputation of CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates; or 
 (h) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation by the Executive with respect to his relations with CODI, the Manager or any of their respective employees, customers, agents, or
representatives. 
 3.5 Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment under this Agreement for “good
reason.” As used in this Agreement, “good reason” shall be: 
 (a) a breach by the Manager of any of the material
provisions of this Agreement, which breach is not remedied within 30 days after receiving written notice of the 

  
 4 

 
nature of such breach specifically citing this Section 3.5(a), which notice shall be provided to Managing Member and the Manager no later than 90 days after the initial existence of
such act or omission alleged to cause the breach of a material provision of this Agreement; 
 (b) a material diminution in the
Executive’s duties, authority, and responsibilities other than changes (i) to which the Executive has consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (ii) that have been eliminated or cured within sixty (60) days
of receipt by the Manager of written notice of the nature of such change, which notice shall be provided to the Manager no later than ninety (90) days after the initial existence of such act or omission imposing the alleged material change to
the Executive’s duties; or 
 (c) the relocation without the Executive’s consent of the Executive’s principal
place of employment more than sixty (60) miles from the Manager’s Westport, Connecticut or Irvine, California locations. 
 3.6 Severance. If the Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Manager other than for death or disability under Section 3.2 or
Section 3.3 hereof or “proper cause” under Section 3.4 hereof or (ii) by the Executive for “good reason” under Section 3.5 hereof, the Manager shall pay the Executive all amounts to which
he may be entitled pursuant to Article 2 hereof up to the Termination Date. Conditioned upon the Executive’s execution (and if applicable non-revocation) of a full waiver and release of all claims against the Manager and its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents containing standard terms for such an agreement (the “Legal Release”), the Manager shall, within forty-five (45) days after the Termination Date
(provided such termination constitutes a separation from service for purposes of Section 409A), pay the Executive, in a lump sum less legally required withholdings, an amount equal to the “Severance Amount”, which for purposes of this
Agreement shall mean an amount equal to the Executive’s Base Salary Rate as of the Termination Date plus the discretionary bonus, if any, paid to the Executive for the immediately preceding year. The Manager shall provide the Legal Release to
the Executive for his signature within twenty (20) days of his Termination Date, and the Executive shall deliver to the Manager the fully executed Legal Release no later than twenty-one (21) days of his receipt of the Legal Release. The
Executive shall not be entitled to any other payments or benefits of any kind except as expressly specified in this Agreement. 

3.7 Voluntary Termination and Termination for Proper Cause. If (i) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment under
this Agreement during the Term other than for “good reason” under Section 3.5 hereof or (ii) the Manager, with or without prior notice, terminates the Executive’s employment under this Agreement for “proper
cause” under Section 3.4 hereof, and provided such termination constitutes a separation from service for purposes of Section 409A, all of the Executive’s rights and benefits, accrued or payable, present or future, under
this Agreement including all rights and benefits under any fringe benefit plan or agreement ancillary to this Agreement, shall be immediately forfeited by the Executive. In such event, the Executive’s only rights and benefits shall be to
receive (i) base salary compensation accrued through the Termination Date, (ii) unpaid reimbursable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Manager prior to the Termination Date, (iii) vested benefits or amounts under any savings or
retirement plans (including excess benefit plans), deferred compensation arrangements or welfare benefit plans, and (iv) vested cash and equity amounts with respect to long-term incentive awards and other incentive awards granted to the
Executive. 

  
 5 

 3.8 Executive’s Further Obligations on Termination. The Manager’s
obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall be subject to offset for any lawful indebtedness owed by the Executive to the Manager. Upon termination of the Executive’s
employment, irrespective of the circumstances, the Executive shall in any event continue to be bound by the applicable provisions of Article 4 hereof. 
 3.9 Compliance with Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Manager and its Affiliates the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, and the deferral of the
commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to avoid the additional tax under Section 409A, then the Manager will defer the payment or the commencement
of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) until the date that is six months and one business day following the Executive’s
Termination Date (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A). Any monthly payment amounts deferred pursuant to this Section will be accumulated and paid to the Executive (without interest) six months and one business day after his
termination of employment in a lump sum and the balance of payments due the Executive will be paid monthly or as otherwise provided herein. 
 (b) It is intended that the Agreement comply with Section 409A, and the Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. Nothing herein shall be construed as an entitlement to
or guarantee of any particular tax treatment to the Executive. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no payment due to the
Executive shall be deemed an “additional tax” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may
the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment. The Executive and the Manager agree that this Agreement may be amended, by mutual agreement, without any further consideration to the Executive, to the extent needed
to avoid penalties under Section 409A. 
 Article 4. Confidential Information; Non-Competition. 

4.1 Confidential Information. The Executive acknowledges that as a result of the Executive’s employment with the Manager, the
Executive will use, acquire, and/or add to confidential information of a special and unique nature and value, including without limitation, all non-public information concerning the business and affairs of CODI, the Manager and its Affiliates (such
as historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds on key personnel, personnel training and techniques and materials), systems,
procedures, policies, trade 

  
 6 

 
secrets, lists of clients and accounts, compensation formulas and amounts, strategies, and other confidential business information and trade secrets of CODI, the Manager and its Affiliates
(“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include any information that is or becomes of general knowledge or use other than information that becomes of general knowledge or use because of the Executive’s
breach of this Agreement. As a material inducement to the Manager to enter into this Agreement, the Executive agrees to treat as secret all such Confidential Information and not to, directly or indirectly, use, disseminate, divulge, copy, or
disclose, for any purpose whatsoever, any Confidential Information, during or after the term of this Agreement, except as may be required to fulfill the Executive’s duties hereunder or as required by a court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, or by law; provided, however, that the Executive shall give reasonable written notice to the Manager in advance of being required to disclose Confidential Information, and shall cooperate with the Manager, upon request, to seek
appropriate relief to prevent disclosure. 
 4.2 Return of Confidential Information and Other Company Property. The
Executive agrees that all Confidential Information shall remain the property of CODI, the Manager and its Affiliates. Upon termination of employment, whether such termination was initiated by the Executive or the Manager or any of its Affiliates, or
at any time the Manager and its Affiliates may request, the Executive shall immediately return to the Manager and its Affiliates (and shall not retain any copies of) all documents, records, notebooks, computer disks, tapes and similar repositories
or documents containing Confidential Information, whether prepared by the Executive or any other person, as well as all other items of CODI’s, the Manager’s or its Affiliates’ property in the Executive’s possession, such as
mobile or wireless telephones, computers, Personal Digital Assistants, facsimile machines, tape recorders, and automobiles. 

4.3 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for one year after the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
the Executive shall not: 
 (a) carry on in the United States of America, or, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that the United State of America is overbroad, then in any U.S. state in which CODI or the Manager is doing business as of the Termination Date, directly or indirectly either for himself or as a member of any partnership, or as a stockholder,
director, officer, agent or employee of another person, firm or corporation, or otherwise, any business that competes with the business being carried on by CODI or the Manager (or their respective successors or permitted assigns) as of the
Termination Date; provided however that this Section shall not be violated if the Manager acknowledges in writing that such business does not so compete; or 
 (b) directly or indirectly, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Manager or its Affiliates to leave its employ, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Manager or its
Affiliates and any employee; or (ii) hire or attempt to hire any person who is or was, during the three months prior to the Termination Date employed by the Manager or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any
customer, client, or other business relation with CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates, in either case, as applicable, to cease doing business with CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates or reduce the amount of business done with CODI, the Manager or
its Affiliates, or in any way interfere or attempt to interfere with the relationship between any such customer, client, or business relation and CODI, the Manager or its Affiliates, as the case may be (including, without limitation, making any
negative or disparaging statements about CODI, the Manager, its Affiliates and/or their current or former employees). 

  
 7 

 4.4 No Conflicts. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Manager that he
is not bound by any agreement which conflicts with or prevents the full performance of his duties and obligations to CODI and the Manager during or after the term of this Agreement. The Executive shall not improperly use or disclose any proprietary
information or trade secrets of any person or entity with whom he has an agreement or to whom he owes a duty to keep such information in confidence. 
 4.5 Enforcement. If the Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, the Manager shall have the right and
remedy: 
 (a) to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction (without posting
a bond or other security), it being acknowledged and agreed by the Executive that the services being rendered hereunder to the Manager are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the
Manager and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Manager; and 
 (b) to require the Executive to
account for and pay over to the Manager all material compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of
Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such benefits to the Manager. 
 Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 4.5 shall be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Manager under law or equity. 
 4.6 Assignment of Intellectual
Property Rights. The Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, or shall cause to be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Manager, any and all interest of the Executive in all Intellectual Property created in the course of
his employment and used in connection with the business of the Manager, to the extent not previously assigned, transferred or conveyed. For purposes of this Agreement, Intellectual Property shall include (i) all inventions (whether patentable
or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice), all improvements thereto, and all patents, patent applications, and patent disclosures, together with all reissuances, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions, extensions and
reexaminations thereof, (ii) all copyrightable works, all copyrights, and all applications, registrations, and renewals in connection therewith, and (iii) all trade secrets and confidential information. Subject to the provisions of the
last sentence hereof, any Intellectual Property relating to the business of the Manager that is developed by the Executive during the Term shall remain the property of the Manager. The Executive shall fully cooperate with the Manager to take any and
all actions necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 4.6, including without limitation the execution of documents and the filing of applications. If the 

  
 8 

 
Manager is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure such cooperation needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to Intellectual Property, the
Executive hereby designates and appoints the Manager and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such applications and
to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights and other rights and protection thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by him. Such appointment shall be irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. 
 4.7 Revision. If any provision of Sections 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 hereof is held to
be unenforceable because of, as applicable, its scope, duration or area, the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope or area, and that the
court shall revise the restriction contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope, and/or area permitted by law. The parties specifically acknowledge and agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may revise the provisions of Sections
4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 pursuant to Connecticut’s “blue pencil” doctrine. 
 Article 5. Jurisdiction.
The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Connecticut with respect to the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties
hereby waives any right to assert and agrees not to assert as a defense in any action, suit, or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement that it is not subject to such action, suit, or proceeding, that such action, suit, or
proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts, that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereby consents to and grants any such court
jurisdiction over the person of such party and over the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such court;
provided that nothing herein shall preclude either party from bringing an action, suit or proceeding in any other court for the purpose of (i) enforcing the provisions of this Article 5 or (ii) enforcing a judgment previously
entered by the Connecticut courts in respect of any such claim. 
 Article 6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 6.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth
the entire agreement of the parties relating to the terms of the Executive’s employment by the Manager and continuing obligations to the Manager upon separation of employment from the Manager, and is intended to supersede all prior
negotiations, understandings, and agreements concerning such subject matter. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or changed except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver or change is sought to be enforced. Except as to
those provisions where notice is required to be given within a specified period of time after the occurrence of the event, the failure of any party to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to
enforce such provision. 
 6.3 Applicable Law. All questions with respect to the construction of this Agreement, and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles thereof. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof
to any party or circumstance is, for any reason and to any extent, deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to either party or circumstance shall not be affected but rather shall be
enforced to the extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. 

6.4 Dispute. In any action relating to or arising from this Agreement, or involving its application, the parties shall each bear
their own respective expenses incurred in connection with the action, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
 6.5 Headings. The Article and Subject headings are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this
Agreement.

 6.6 Assignment. The Manager shall have the right to assign this Agreement, and/or its
rights and/or obligations hereunder, to a third party. The Manager shall give reasonable written notice to the Executive prior to the effective date of any such assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall
be assignable by the Executive. 
 6.7 Provisions Severable. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and
severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. If any provision of this
Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum
extent permitted by law. 
 6.8 Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of either party hereto to exercise
any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other
right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. 

6.9 Survival. The provisions in this Agreement that contemplate obligations on the Executive’s part after his employment with
the Manager ends, for whatever reason, shall survive the cessation of his employment.
