or governmental proceeding is now pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, by or against the Borrower, except judgments and pending or threatened litigation, investigations, contested claims, and governmental proceedings that if

aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any of the Collateral or any monies paid in satisfaction of the Liabilities. 

6.18 Patents, Trademarks and Licenses: Permits. To Borrower’s Knowledge, the Borrower possesses adequate assets, licenses, permits, patents,
patent applications, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trademark applications, trade styles and trade names, governmental approvals or other authorizations, and other rights that legally are necessary for them to continue to conduct its
business as conducted currently. The Borrower doesn’t own any patents, registered trademarks, or copyrights. The Borrower has obtained all material authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses, permits, exemptions of, or filings or
registrations with all commissions, boards, bureaus, agencies, and instrumentalities necessary to carry on its business activities as contemplated currently, for the valid execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and
the other agreements, documents, and instruments to which it is a party, and to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

material respects. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there is no default or event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would

constitute a material default by any party to any of the Material Contracts (other than the Borrower). The Borrower has not received any notice that any party to any of the Material Contracts
intends to cancel or terminate any of the Material Contracts or to exercise or to decline to exercise any options under any of the Material Contracts. The Borrower is not a party to or bound by any agreement that would give rise to a Material
Adverse Effect.

consummation of the transactions described in this Agreement. The Borrower is not required to file any notice or other report regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Financing Documents with any governmental agency.

 ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1 Waiver:
Amendments. No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees arising from the services, and any expenses, costs, and charges relating to the services. 
 8.3
Expenditures by Lender. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, assessments, costs, or expenses which the Borrower is, under any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the Financing Agreements, required to pay, or

together with interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, shall be part of the Liabilities, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral. 

8.4 Custody and Preservation of Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
of the Collateral in its possession if it takes the action for the purpose as the Borrower shall request in writing, but failure by the Lender to comply with any request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; and no
failure by the Lender to preserve or protect any right with respect to the Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of the Collateral not so requested by the Borrower, shall not of itself be deemed a
failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral.

representations, and warranties made in this Agreement by the Borrower shall, notwithstanding any investigation by the Lender, be deemed to be material to and to have been relied upon by the Lender.

applicable, a reference to the successors and assigns of the Borrower and the successors and assigns of the Lender, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of said successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender. 

8.7 Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits to this Agreement and the Financing Agreements, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior agreements and understandings between them relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, the
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of the prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of the provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the validity of the provision in any other jurisdiction. To the
extent any terms of the other Financing Agreements conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. 

  
 22 

 8.8 Application of Payments. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement or in any
of the Financing Agreements, the Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by the Lender from the Borrower or with respect to any of the Collateral; and the
Borrower irrevocably agrees that the Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter, whether with respect to the Collateral or otherwise, against the Liabilities in
the manner as the Lender may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by the Lender upon any of its books and records. 
 8.9 Marshaling: Payments Set
Aside. The Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Liabilities. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Lender
or the Lender enforces its security interests or exercises its rights of setoff, and the payment or payments or the proceeds of the enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause, then to the extent of the recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied shall be revived, reinstated, and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made or the enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 

8.10 Additional Borrower. Addition of any Person as a party to this Agreement is subject to approval of the Lender, and may be conditioned upon such
requirements as it may determine in its discretion, including, without limitation, (a) the furnishing of such financial and other information as the Lender may request; (b) approval by all appropriate approval authorities of the Lender;
(c) execution and delivery by the then existing Borrower, such Person, and the Lender of such agreements and other documentation (including, without limitation, an amendment to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreements), and the
furnishing by such Person or the Borrower of such certificates, opinions, and other documentation, as the Lender may request. The Lender shall not have any obligation to approve any such Person for addition as a party to this Agreement. 

8.11 Express Waivers By Loan Parties In Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross Collateralization. The Borrower agrees as follows: 

(a) The Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the
making of any Loan, or any other financial accommodations made or extended under the Financing Agreements or the creation or existence of any Liabilities; (iii) notice of the amount of the Liabilities, subject, however, to the Borrower’s
right to make inquiry of the Lender to ascertain the amount of the Liabilities at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the
Financing Agreements; and (v) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements to which the Borrower is a party) and demands to which the
Borrower might otherwise be entitled; 
 (b) The Borrower consents and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that, without notice to or by
the Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, the Lender may, by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or 

  
 23 

 
the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Financing Agreements; (ii) release all or anyone or more parties to any one or
more of the Financing Agreements or grant other indulgences to the Guarantor in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Financing Agreements (other than Financing Agreements to
which the Borrower is a party, if such document expressly requires the Borrower’s consent to such amendment or modification);or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for payment of the Liabilities, or enforce, exchange, release, or
waive any security for the Liabilities or any Guaranty of the Liabilities. 
 8.12 Section Titles. The section titles contained in this Agreement
shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties. 
 8.13 Continuing
Effect. This Agreement, the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and all of the other Financing Agreements shall continue in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Liabilities and the expiration of any
and all commitments hereunder for the Lender to make available the Loan to the Borrower. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the Financing Agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

8.14 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any notice required or desired to be served, given, or delivered under this
Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered (a) three days after deposit in the United States mails, with proper postage prepaid, (b) when sent after receipt of confirmation or answer
back if sent by facsimile transmission, (c) one Business Day after deposited with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid, or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be properly addressed to

 8.15 Equitable Relief. The Borrower recognizes that in the event it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities
under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lender; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lender, if the Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in the case without
the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 8.16 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Lender and
each of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants, and the Lender (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
claims, costs, expenses, and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than taxes owed on the income of the Lender and recurring intangible taxes payable by the Lender) (including, without limitation, the reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for and consultants of the Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative, or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnitees shall be designated a party to the investigative,
administrative, or judicial proceeding), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitees (whether direct or indirect, (but excluding consequential damages) and whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory
regulations, including, without limitation, securities and commercial laws and regulations, under common law, or an equitable cause or on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Financing Agreements,
or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the agreements of the Lender contained in this Agreement, the making of the loan under this Agreement, the management of the loan or the Collateral or the use or intended use of the
proceeds of the loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”). However, the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of the Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum
portion which they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. 

8.17 Choice of Law. Any dispute between the Lender and the Borrower arising out of, connected with, related to, or incidental to the relationship
established between them in connection with this Agreement, and whether arising in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise, shall be resolved in accordance with the internal laws and not the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Florida. 

8.18 PERSONAL JURISDICTION.

PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION TO ENABLE THE LENDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE LIABILITIES OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER. THE BORROWER AND A GUARANTOR AGREE THAT IT
WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIM, EXCEPT A COUNTERCLAIM ALLEGING THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE LENDER, IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE LENDER TO REALIZE ON PROPERTY, COLLATERAL, OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE
LIABILITIES OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE LENDER HAS COMMENCED A PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. 

8.19 WAIVER OF BOND. THE BORROWER AND GUARANTORS WAIVE THE POSTING OF ANY BOND OTHERWISE REQUIRED OF THE LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY JUDICIAL PROCESS
OR PROCEEDING TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OF, REPLEVY, ATTACH, OR LEVY UPON COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE LIABILITIES, TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER, OR TO ENFORCE BY SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, TEMPORARY

OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, AND THE LENDER HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT 

  
 26 

 
TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT EITHER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY. 
 8.21 Advice of Counsel. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that the Borrower and Guarantor have had the advice and
counsel of competent legal counsel during the negotiation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 8.22 Assignments. 

(a) The Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of the Loan and
Commitment and, so long as no Default exists. 
 (b) The consent of the Borrower (which consents shall be in Borrower’s sole discretion
but shall not be required for an assignment by the Lender to an Affiliate of the Lender) shall be required. The Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless the Borrower has expressly
objected to such assignment within three Business Days after notice thereof. 
 (c) From and after the date on which the conditions
described above have been met, (A) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such assignment agreement,
shall have the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement other than to an Affiliate of Lender,
shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Lender for delivery to the Assignee a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment plus the principal amount of the Assignee’s Loan, and, as applicable, a Note in the principal
amount of the portion of the Commitment retained by the Lender plus the principal amount of the Loan retained by the Lender. Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the Lender of such replacement Note,
the assigning Lender shall return to the Borrower any prior Note held by it. 
 (d) The 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 the Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto. 
 8.23

 Exhibit 10.18 

SECURITY AGREEMENT 

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date indicated on the signature page attached hereto, by
LMF OCTOBER 2010 FUND, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Borrower”), in favor of DAVID A. STRAZ, JR. REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST OF 1986, whose address is 4401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 150, Tampa, Florida 33609 (together with its
successors and assigns, the “Lender”). 
 The parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the term “Code” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of
Florida from time to time, as amended. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement between Borrower, LM Funding, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Carol Linn Gould,
individually and Bruce M. Rodgers, individually (collectively the “Guarantors”) and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”) or in the Funding and Servicing Agreement dated October 4, 2010 between the Borrower, LM Funding, LLC and
Business Law Group, P.A. (“BLG”), (the “Funding and Servicing Agreement”). References to “this Agreement” shall mean this Agreement as in effect from time to time, including all amendments, modifications and supplements
and any annexes, exhibits and schedules to any of the foregoing. 
 2. Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure the payment of
the principal of and interest on the Loan and the performance and observance by the Borrower of all the covenants expressed or implied herein and in the Loan Agreement, Borrower does hereby grant to the Lender a first security interest in the
Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) which includes all rights, title, interest and privileges of the Borrower (i) in, to, and under the Accounts and (ii) in and to the proceeds of the sale and settlement of the Accounts (until
distributed or expended for the purpose for which the Loan were issued, as described in Section 3). 
 3. Proceeds. The loan
shall be made simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the amount of Two Million Dollars and 00/100 ($2,000,000.00). 

4. Creation of Accounts. The following account is hereby created and established to be held by the Borrower and maintained in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement: 
 (a) Distribution Account. BLG, or any successor servicer of the Accounts
constituting part of the Assets, shall retain all amounts collected on the Accounts properly attributable to fees and costs of such servicer, respecting the order of applying proceeds required by Florida law and relevant provisions of the Purchase
Agreements with the Associations and the Funding and Servicing Agreement. BLG, or any successor servicer of the Accounts constituting part of the Assets shall remit all other amounts collected on the Accounts to Borrower. The Borrower shall credit
to the Distribution Account: (i) all 

 
amounts received from BLG, or any successor servicer, in respect of the Accounts and (ii) all amounts received as earnings on the Distribution Account. On each Payment Date or Maturity Date
(as defined in the Note), as the case may be, Borrower shall apply the funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Section 5 hereof, without further authorization or direction. Pending application of monies in the Distribution Account,
such monies may be invested, at the discretion of Borrower, as provided in Section 7 hereof, and any earnings on or income from such investments shall be retained therein. 

5. Distribution of Available Funds. Available funds in the Distribution Account will be applied in the following order of priority:

 First, all collection funds will be deposited into the Borrower’s DDA/checking account. 

Second, principal and interest payments will be paid on the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Note. 

Third, collection of the lien purchase price will remain in the Borrower’s DDA account as collateral for the Loan
or be used solely for the purchase of additional liens to further secure the Loan. 
 6. Pledge. The Loan, including the principal
thereof and interest thereon, and any other obligations of the Borrower arising hereunder or under the Loan, shall be limited obligations of the Borrower specifically secured as provided in Section 2 hereof. The Loan, including (if applicable)
the principal thereof and interest thereon, shall be secured hereunder by the foregoing pledge of the Collateral and by a lien thereon, subject to the priorities expressly provided herein. The pledge of such Collateral shall be legal, valid and
binding from the initial Closing Date and such Collateral shall thereupon be immediately subject to the lien, pledge and charge hereof as a first security interest thereon upon receipt thereof by the Borrower, without any physical delivery or
segregation thereof or further act. 
 7. Investments. Monies held by the Borrower for the credit of the Distribution Account may be
invested by Borrower in United States government securities, short-term certificates of deposit or money market funds (collectively, “Investment Securities”). The Investment Securities purchased shall be held by the Borrower and shall be
deemed at all times to be part of the Distribution Account. Borrower shall not be liable for the selection of Investment Securities, for determining whether an investment qualifies as an “Investment Security,” or for investment losses
incurred in respect of Investment Securities acquired and held as provided herein. Borrower shall not have any liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such Investment Security prior to its stated maturity or the
failure of Borrower to provide timely written investment direction. 
 8. Protection of Security; Further Assurances. Borrower shall
at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Collateral pledged under this Agreement and all the rights of Borrower and the Lender against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. Borrower
agrees with the Lender that Borrower will 

  
 2 

 
not limit or alter its powers to fulfill the terms of any agreements made in this Agreement or in the Loan, or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder until the Loan
(together with interest thereon (if any), including interest on any unpaid installments of interest (if any)) and all costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the Lender, are fully met and discharged. 

Borrower shall at any and all times, insofar as it may be authorized so to do, pass, make, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further resolutions, indentures, acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, transfers and assurances as may be necessary or desirable for better assuring, conveying, granting, assigning and confirming any and all of the rights, revenues, securities
and other monies hereby pledged or charged with or assigned to the payment of the Loan, or intended so to be, or which Borrower may hereafter become bound to pledge or charge or assign. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall periodically file UCC continuation statements as required to maintain and
continue the perfection of the security interest granted hereunder by Borrower, as debtor, to the Lender, as secured party. 
 9.
Bankruptcy. Borrower covenants that it shall not file a petition in bankruptcy with respect to itself unless such filing has been approved by the unanimous action of its board of managers and the written consent of the Lender. 

10. No Encumbrances. Subject to and except for the rights of the Associations set forth in the Purchase Agreements, Borrower shall not
create, or permit the creation of, any lien or encumbrance upon the Collateral pledged under this Agreement. 
 11. Lender’s
Perfected Security Interest; Negotiable Collateral. Borrower agrees to make appropriate entries upon its financial statements and its books and records disclosing the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. 

12. Inspection: Verification of Accounts. If an event of default occurs under any of the Loan, any of Lender’s officers, employees
or agents shall have the right, at any time or times hereafter, on behalf of the Lender, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Lender (by any of its officers, employees
and/or agents) shall have the right, at any time or times during Borrower’s usual business hours, to inspect the Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts from such records), and the premises upon which any of the Collateral
is located, and for so long as no event of default under the Loan has occurred or is continuing, with prior written notice to Borrower, to discuss Borrower’s affairs and finances with any person and to verify the amount, quality, quantity,
value and condition of, or any other matter relating to the Collateral. 
 13. Representations and Warranties of Borrower. By
execution of this Agreement, Borrower makes the following representations and warranties: 
 (a) Organization and Good Standing. It

(c) Authorization. It is duly authorized under all applicable laws to create and issue the Loan, to enter into this Agreement, and to
pledge and assign the Collateral and other assets and revenues purported to be pledged and assigned by this Agreement in the manner and to the extent provided in this Agreement. The assets and revenues so pledged are and will be free and clear of
any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or with respect thereto prior to, or of equal rank with, the pledge created by this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Funding and Servicing Agreement and Purchase
Agreements, and all action on the part of the Borrower to that end has been duly and validly taken. 
 (d) No Consent Required. No
consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any person, entity or any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required to be obtained by Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery or performance

 (e) No
Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan and the fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions

it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable
to it of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over it or any of its properties. 

(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it before any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over it or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any Loan, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
Loan or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Note, or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect its performance of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement or the Note.

 4 

 (h) Binding Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now
or hereafter in effect, affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and (ii) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity). 

(i) Security Interests. Upon the Closing Date: 

(i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Accounts, in favor of the
Lender, which security interest is prior to all other liens and encumbrances, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. 

(ii) The Accounts that are part of the Collateral constitute either an “account” or a “general intangible”
within the meaning of the UCC.

Closing Date and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Loan.

Pledges; Securities No Longer Outstanding and Deemed To Be Paid Hereunder. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, and the liens, pledges, charges, trusts, covenants and agreements of Borrower herein made or provided for, shall
be fully discharged and satisfied as to the Note and such Note shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Agreement: 

(i) when such Note shall have been surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange and thereby cancelled (and no such Note may be
cancelled except in exchange for adequate consideration, such adequacy to be determined by Lender in its sole discretion); or 

(ii) as to any Note not canceled, when payment of the principal of the Note, together with interest thereon to the due date
thereof (whether such due date be by reason of stated maturity or otherwise), shall have been made in accordance with the terms of such Note. 

  
 5 

 15. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege of Lender. 

(b) Successors. This Agreement shall bind the Borrower and its successors and permitted assigns, and inure to the benefit of Lender,
and its successors and assigns.
