nonoccurrence of an Event of Default shall in no manner impair the ability of Agent to demand payment of any portion of the Obligations that is payable upon demand); 
 (b) Proceed to perform or discharge any and all of Pledgor’s obligations, duties, responsibilities, or liabilities and exercise any and all of its rights in connection with the Collateral for such period of time

 (c) Do
all other acts which Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and carry out the terms of this Agreement;

 (e) Sell the Collateral in any manner permitted by the UCC; and upon any such sale of the Collateral, Agent may (i) bid for and purchase the Collateral and apply the expenses of such sale (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees) as a credit against the purchase price, or (ii) apply the proceeds of any sale or sales to other persons or entities, in whatever order Agent in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees), to the Obligations, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Pledgor or to such other person or entity legally entitled to payment of such remainder; and 
 (f) Proceed by suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy to enforce the performance of any term, covenant,
condition, or agreement contained in this Agreement, and institution of such a suit or suits shall not abrogate the rights of Agent to pursue any other remedies granted in this Agreement or to pursue any other remedy available to Agent either at law
or in equity. 
 Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws. All costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or paid by Agent in exercising or protecting any interest, right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to
the then highest rate of interest charged on any of the Obligations from the date of payment until repaid in full and shall, along with the interest thereon, constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement. 
 Pledgor hereby constitutes Agent as the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor after an Event of Default under the Financing Documents (including but not limited to
this Agreement) to take such actions and execute such documents as Agent may deem appropriate in the exercise of the rights and powers granted to Agent in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, filling-in blanks in the Transfer Power to
cause a transfer of the Ownership Interests and other Collateral pursuant to a sale of the Collateral. The power of attorney granted hereby shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall terminate only upon the payment in full of the
Obligations. Pledgor shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all losses, costs, damages, fees, and 

 
expenses suffered or incurred in connection with the exercise of this power of attorney and shall release Agent from any and all liability arising in
connection with the exercise of this power of attorney. 
 9. Performance by Agent. If Pledgor shall fail to perform, observe or
comply with any of the conditions, terms, or covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Agent without notice to or demand upon Pledgor and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter perform such conditions, terms or covenants for the account and at the expense of Pledgor, and may enter upon the premises of Pledgor for that purpose and take all such action
on the premises as Agent may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose. All sums paid or advanced by Agent in connection with the foregoing and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with the foregoing, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate of interest equal to the then highest rate of interest charged on the principal of any of the Obligations, from the date of payment until repaid
in full, shall be paid by Pledgor to Agent on demand and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement. 
 10. Indemnification. Agent shall not in any way be responsible for the performance or discharge of, and Agent does not hereby undertake to perform or discharge of, any obligation, duty, responsibility, or liability of Pledgor in
connection with the Collateral or otherwise. Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify Agent and hold Agent harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or demands suffered or incurred by reason of this Agreement or by reason of any
alleged responsibilities or undertakings on the part of Agent to perform or discharge any obligations, duties, responsibilities, or liabilities of Pledgor in connection with the Collateral or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity and agreement to hold harmless shall not apply to losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or demands suffered or incurred by reason of Agent ‘s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall have no duty to collect any amounts
due or to become due in connection with the Collateral or enforce or preserve Pledgor’s rights under this Agreement. 
 11.
Termination. Upon payment in full of the Obligations, and termination of any further obligation of Agent or Lender to extend any credit to Borrower under the Financing Documents, this Agreement shall terminate and Agent shall promptly execute
appropriate documents to evidence such termination. 
 12. Release. Without prejudice to any of Agent’s rights under this
Agreement, Agent may take or release other security for the payment or performance of the Obligations, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations, and may apply any other security held by Lender to the satisfaction of
the Obligations. 
 13. Pledgor’s Liability Absolute. The liability of Pledgor under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate
and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Pledgor or any other person, nor against other securities or liens available to Agent or Lender, or their respective successors, assigns, or agents. Pledgor waives any right
to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or Lender in favor of any other person. 

 14. Preservation of Collateral. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral and in preserving rights under this Agreement if Agent takes action for those purposes as Pledgor may reasonably request in writing, provided, however, that failure to comply with any such request
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure by Agent to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral or to do any act with respect to the preservation of the Collateral not so
requested by Pledgor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. 
 15. General.

 (a) Final Agreement and Amendments. This Agreement, together with the other Financing Documents, constitutes the final and entire
agreement and understanding of the parties and any term, condition, covenant or agreement not contained herein or therein is not a part of the agreement and understanding of the parties. Neither this Agreement, nor any term, condition, covenant or
agreement hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 
 (b) Waiver. No party hereto shall be deemed to have waived the exercise of any right which it holds hereunder unless such waiver is made expressly
and in writing (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no delay or omission by any party hereto in exercising any such right shall be deemed a waiver of its future exercise). No such waiver made in any instance involving the exercise
of any such right shall be deemed a waiver as to any other such instance, or any other such right. No single or partial exercise of any power or right shall preclude other or further exercise of the power or right or the exercise of any other power
or right. No course of dealing between the parties hereto shall be construed as an amendment to this Agreement or a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. No notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall thereby entitle Pledgor to any other
or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
 (c) Headings. The headings of the Sections, subsections,
paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of reference, and shall not be considered in construing their contents.

 (e) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns hereunder. In the event of any assignment or transfer by Agent of any of the Pledgor’s obligations under the Financing Documents or the collateral therefor, Agent 

 
thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to such collateral so assigned or transferred, but Agent shall retain all rights
and powers given by this Agreement with respect to any of the Pledgor’s obligations under the Financing Documents or collateral not so assigned or transferred. Pledgor shall have no right to assign or delegate its rights or obligations
hereunder. 
 (f) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application of such term,
provision, covenant or condition to any party or circumstance shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such term, provision, covenant,
or condition to parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, provision, covenant or condition shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law. 
 (g) Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given and shall become effective as provided in
