 AGREEMENT 

The parties agree as follows: 

1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 
 1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the definitions set forth on Exhibit A. Any term used in the Code and not defined herein shall have the meaning
given to the term in the Code. 
 1.2 Accounting Terms. Any accounting term not specifically defined on Exhibit A
shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and all calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules. 

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
 2.1 Credit Extensions. 
 (a) Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to
pay to Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in
accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (b) Advances Under Revolving Line. 

(i) Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate
outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, less the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the aggregate limits of the corporate
credit cards issued to Borrower and merchant credit card processing reserves under the Credit Card Services Sublimit. Except as set forth in the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit F, amounts borrowed pursuant to
this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time without penalty or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. 

(ii) Form of Request. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no
later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time (12:00 p.m. Pacific time for wire transfers), on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of
Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances
are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and
Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to Borrower’s deposit account. 

 (iii) Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to the availability under the Revolving
Line, and in reliance on the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth herein, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof through the Business Day immediately prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Bank shall issue for the
account of Borrower such Letters of Credit as Borrower may request by delivering to Bank a duly executed letter of credit application on Bank’s standard form; provided, however, that the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of
Credit (i) shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (ii) shall be deemed to constitute Advances for the purpose of calculating availability under the Revolving Line. Any drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any
Letters of Credit shall be charged as Advances against the Revolving Line. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s form
application and letter of credit agreement. Borrower will pay any standard issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrower it will charge for issuing and processing Letters of Credit. 

(iv) Credit Card Services Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may request corporate credit
cards and standard and e-commerce merchant account services from Bank (collectively, the “Credit Card Services”). The aggregate limit of the corporate credit cards and merchant credit card processing reserves shall not exceed the Credit
Card Services Sublimit, provided that availability under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrower and merchant credit card processing reserves. In addition, Bank may, in its sole
discretion, charge as Advances any amounts that become due or owing to Bank in connection with the Credit Card Services. The terms and conditions (including repayment and fees) of such Credit Card Services shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Bank’s standard forms of application and agreement for the Credit Card Services, which Borrower hereby agrees to execute. 
 (v) Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. If Borrower has not secured to Bank’s satisfaction its obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit or Credit Card Services
that may extend beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, then, effective as of the Revolving Maturity Date, the balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates of deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Bank in Borrower’s name
(and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts), shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the then continuing or outstanding and
undrawn Letters of Credit or Credit Card Services; provided, however, that if there are insufficient balances in such accounts to secure such obligations, Borrower shall immediately deposit such additional funds as are necessary to fully secure such
obligations. Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any requests by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Letters of
Credit or Credit Card Services are outstanding or continue. 
 2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the
outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. 
 2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 
 (a) Interest
Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, as set forth in the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit F. 

(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower
shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default. 

 (c) Payments. Except as set forth in the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate Addendum
attached hereto as Exhibit F, interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the first (1st) calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments
against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part
of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. 
 2.4
Crediting Payments. While no Event of Default is continuing, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of
funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under
the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be
payable for the period of such extension. 
 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following: 

(a) Facility Fee. On the Closing Date, a fee equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), which shall be nonrefundable;

 (b) Unused Facility Fee. A quarterly Unused Facility Fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the
difference between the maximum amount of the Revolving Line and the average outstanding principal balance of the Obligations during the applicable quarter, which fee shall be payable within five (5) days of the last day of each such quarter and
shall be nonrefundable; and 
 (c) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing
Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due; provided, however, that without the written consent of Borrower, Borrower’s liability for attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Closing Date in connection
with the documentation of the Loan Documents shall not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). 
 2.6 Term. This
Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity Obligations) remain outstanding or Bank has any
obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon payment of all of the Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity Obligations) and termination of any obligation of Bank to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement, Bank shall, at
Borrower’s cost and expense, release the security interest in the Collateral granted by Borrower under this Agreement.

(provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such date). The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. 
 4.1 Grant of Security Interest.
Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.
Except as set forth in the Schedule and subject to Permitted Liens, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in
later-acquired Collateral. Borrower also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its Intellectual Property, except in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted
Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity Obligations) are outstanding. 

 4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time
financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other
information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time
to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, any Negotiable Collateral with a face amount or reasonably attributed value of $500,000 or more that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue
perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise
provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral (other than the Non-US Assets) is
in possession of a third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) with respect to Equipment or Inventory with an aggregate value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), obtain an
acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit
accounts, other than with respect to the JPMorgan Account and Sovereign Account, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the
securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank
indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to
decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall not require that security interests in the Collateral be perfected in any jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice,
from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the
Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. 
 4.4 Future Term Loan Shared Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank agrees that, subject to formal credit approval, after the Closing Date Borrower may obtain a
term loan from one or more additional lenders reasonably acceptable to Bank in an aggregate amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Future Term Loan”) and grant such lenders of the Future Term Loan (the “New
Secured Creditors”) a Lien on the Collateral. Bank agrees, subject to formal credit approval, to enter into agreements with the New Secured Creditors that will carry out the purposes of this Section 4.4 provided that such agreements are in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.4 will be subject to other terms and conditions including credit approval by Bank, which may include new, additional or other terms and
conditions, and also subject to the execution and delivery of all documents and information required by Bank in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.

the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest, subject to Permitted Liens existing on the replaced property at the time of
loss and to the extent such replacement property is not Non-US Assets. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the
Obligations. 
 6.6 Accounts. Borrower shall maintain all its depository and operating accounts with Bank and its primary
investment accounts with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates (covered by satisfactory control agreements). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may maintain the JPMorgan Account and Sovereign Account at JPMorgan and Sovereign Bank, respectively.

 (a) Tangible Net Worth. A Tangible Net Worth of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), stepping up, as

 (b) Minimum Cash. An aggregate balance of Cash at Bank and at Bank’s Affiliates covered by a control agreement, measured on a daily basis, of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).

 6.8 Registration of Intellectual Property Rights. 

(a) Borrower shall register or cause to be registered on an expedited basis (to the extent not already registered) with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, those registrable intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter developed or acquired by Borrower, to the extent that Borrower, in its reasonable
business judgment, deems it appropriate to so protect such intellectual property rights. 
 (b) Borrower shall within
45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter give Bank written notice of any applications or registrations of intellectual property rights filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including the date of such filing and the
registration or application numbers, if any. 
 (c) Borrower shall within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter give
Bank written notice of the filing of any applications or registrations with the United States Copyright Office, including the title of such intellectual property rights to be registered, as such title will appear on such applications or
registrations, and the date such applications or registrations was filed. 
 (d) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and trade secrets material to its business, (ii) to detect infringements of its Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights material
to its business and promptly advise Bank in writing of infringements detected with respect thereto, and (iii) not allow any of its material Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the
written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall not require that security interests in the Collateral be perfected in any jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

6.9 Consent of Inbound Licensors. Promptly after entering into or becoming bound by any inbound license or agreement (other than
over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public), the failure, breach, or termination of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower shall: (i) provide written notice to Bank of the
material terms of such license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition; and (ii) in good faith take such commercially reasonable actions as Bank may reasonably request to obtain
the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A) Borrower’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be
restricted by the terms of the applicable license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (B) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance
with Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided, however, that the failure to obtain any such consent or waiver shall not constitute a default under this Agreement. 

6.10 Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries. In the event Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires any Subsidiary, Borrower
and such Subsidiary shall promptly notify Bank of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Bank to cause each such domestic Subsidiary to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under
the Loan Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the collateral of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit B hereto), and Borrower shall grant and pledge to Bank a perfected security
interest in the stock, units or other evidence of ownership of each Subsidiary (whether foreign or domestic) provided, that only 65% of the total outstanding voting stock, units or other evidence of ownership of any first tier Subsidiary of Borrower
that is a controlled foreign corporation (and none of the equity interests of any Subsidiary of any such controlled foreign corporation) shall be required to be pledged. 
 6.11 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect
the purposes of this Agreement. 

 7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

any inchoate indemnity obligations) are paid in full or for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make any Credit Extensions, Borrower will not do any of the following without Bank’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld: 
 7.1 Dispositions. Convey, sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively, to

creating, incurring, assuming or allowing any Lien with respect to any of Borrower’s property other than in connection with the Future Term Loan as long as there is an express exception for Liens in favor of Bank. 

7.6 Distributions. Pay any dividends or make any other distribution or payment on account of or in redemption, retirement or
purchase of any capital stock, except that Borrower may (i) repurchase the stock of former employees or directors (or persons who become former employees or directors) pursuant to stock repurchase agreements as long as an Event of Default does
not exist prior to such repurchase or would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase and (ii) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, (a) repurchase the stock of former employees or directors (or persons who become former
employees or directors) pursuant to stock repurchase agreements by the cancellation of indebtedness owed by such former employees to Borrower, (b) pay dividends on Borrower’s capital stock solely in capital stock of Borrower;

satisfactory to Bank, or suffer or permit any Subsidiary to be a party to, or be bound by, an agreement that restricts such Subsidiary from paying dividends or otherwise distributing property to
Borrower. Further, Borrower shall not enter into any license or agreement with any Prohibited Territory or with any Person organized under or doing business in a Prohibited Territory. 

7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate

fide equity and unsecured Subordinated Debt financings from Borrower’s investors or their Affiliates for capital raising purposes, (c) employment arrangements with executive officers in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, or

covering such Inventory or Equipment. Except for Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business and Permitted Transfers and except for such other locations as Bank may approve in writing, Borrower shall keep the Inventory and Equipment (other
than the Non-US Assets and other Inventory or Equipment valued at not more than $500,000 in the aggregate) only at the locations set forth in the Schedule delivered by Borrower to Bank prior to the Closing Date and such other locations of which
Borrower gives Bank prior written notice and as to which Bank files a financing statement where needed to perfect its security interest. 
 7.11 No Investment Company; Margin Regulation. Become or be controlled by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or become principally engaged
in, or undertake as one of its important activities, the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or use the proceeds of any Credit Extension for such purpose. 

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 
 Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement: 
 8.1 Payment Default. If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations when due; 
 8.2 Covenant Default. 
 (a) If Borrower fails to perform any obligation
under Section 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 or 6.8 or violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement; or 
 (b) If Borrower fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other present or future

Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature 

 
be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a
reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, so long as Borrower continues to diligently attempt to cure such default, and
within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be made; 
 8.3 Material Adverse Change. If there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

assessment is filed of record with respect to any of Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid
within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by
Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period); 
 8.6 Insolvency. If Borrower
becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made
prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding); 
 8.7 Other Agreements. If there is a default or other failure to
perform in any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

 9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without
notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower: 
 (a)
Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6 (insolvency), all
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); 
 (b) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit
cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn or outstanding Credit Card Services, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit or outstanding Credit Card
Services, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit or Credit Card Services fees, and Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts; 

(c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Borrower and Bank; 
 (d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms
and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable; 
 (e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers
necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the
premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or
superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the
same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 
 (f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower
held by Bank; 
 (g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell
(in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of
any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit; 

(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral
without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank
sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may
resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale; 

 (i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; 

(j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to
the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and 
 (k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. 
 Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 
 9.2 Power of Attorney. 

Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any
of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse
Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors,
schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of
insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or
continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents
described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated. 

9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any
Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to
Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit. 

9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities,
as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank
deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank
deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any
payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement. 
 9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne
by Borrower. 

 9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the
Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Borrower.
Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations. 
 9.7 Remedies
Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in
equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or
acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Borrower expressly
agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise. 
 9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any
other notices relating to the Obligations. 
 10. NOTICES. 
 Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for
financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

 11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 

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

 12. REFERENCE PROVISION. 

12.1 In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference
Provision. 
 12.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim
(each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Article 12, the “Relevant Documents”),
will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy
for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Relevant Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the
real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”). 
 12.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or
preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the
items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement. 

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

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

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

 COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 All personal property of Debtor
(herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including, but not limited to: 

(a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit
accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes),
inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money,
and all of Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records; and (b) any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds thereof, including, without
limitation, insurance proceeds, and all supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to
time. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any property that (i) is nonassignable by its
terms or restricts the granting of a security interest without the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer or grant of security interest is enforceable under applicable law, including,
without limitation, Sections 9406 and 9408 of the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time), (ii) the granting of a security interest therein is contrary to applicable law, provided that upon the
cessation of any such restriction or prohibition, such property shall automatically become part of the Collateral, (iii) constitutes the capital stock of a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the IRC), in excess of 65% of the voting
power of all classes of capital stock of such controlled foreign corporations entitled to vote; (iv) is Inventory and Equipment of Borrower located in any jurisdiction other than the United States to the extent that the aggregate value of such

dated as of October 5, 2012, the “Loan Agreement”) in which the granting of a security interest therein is prohibited by or would constitute a default under any agreement or document governing such property; provided that upon the
termination or lapsing of any such prohibition, such property shall automatically be part of the Collateral or (vi) is Intellectual Property (as defined in the Loan Agreement); provided that in no case shall the definition of
“Collateral” exclude any Accounts or general intangibles consisting of rights to payment arising from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral
shall automatically, and effective as of October 5, 2012, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.

 EXHIBIT F 
 Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate Addendum 
 This Daily Adjusting LIBOR Addendum
to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Addendum”) is entered into as of October 5, 2012, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and Verenium Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). This Addendum supplements
the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated October 5, 2012 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”). 

 

	1.	Definitions. As used in this Addendum, the following terms shall have the following meanings. Initially capitalized terms used and not defined in this Addendum
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement. 

 a. “Applicable Margin” means four and
three quarters percent (4.75%) per annum. 
 b. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or
any other day designated as a holiday under Federal or applicable State statute or regulation, on which Bank is open for all or substantially all of its domestic and international business (including dealings in foreign exchange) in San Jose,
California, and, in respect of notices and determinations relating the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, also a day on which dealings in dollar deposits are also carried on in the London interbank market and on which banks are open for business in London,
England. 
 c. “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date hereof, of any of the following: (i) the
adoption or introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not applicable to Bank on such date, or (ii) any change in interpretation,
administration or implementation thereof of any such law, treaty, rule or regulation by any Governmental Authority, or (iii) the issuance, making or implementation by any Governmental Authority of any interpretation, administration, request,
regulation, guideline, or directive (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines. For purposes of this definition, (x) a change in law, treaty, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration or
implementation shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, treaty, rule, regulation, interpretation administration or implementation then in force, the effective date of which change is
delayed by the terms of such law, treaty, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration or implementation, and (y) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, H.R. 4173) and all requests, rules,
regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or promulgated, whether before or
after the date hereof, and (z) 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
regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall each be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 

d. “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the quotient of the following:

  

	 	(1)	for any day, the per annum rate of interest determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one (1) month appearing
on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service as of 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the event
that such rate does not appear on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service (or otherwise on such Service) on any day, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be determined by reference to such other
publicly available service for displaying eurodollar rates as may be reasonably selected by Bank, or in the absence of such other service, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall, instead, be determined based upon the average
of the rates at which Bank is offered dollar deposits at or about 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical), on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, in the interbank
eurodollar market in an amount comparable to the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and for a period equal to one (1) month; 

 divided by 
  

	 	(2)	1.00 minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) on such day at which Bank is required to maintain reserves on “Euro-currency Liabilities” as defined in
and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or, if such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as Bank is required to maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which includes eurodollar
deposits or includes a category of assets which includes eurodollar loans, the rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained on such category; 

 e. “Governmental Authority” means the government of the United States of America or any other nation, or of any political subdivision thereof, whether state or local, and any agency, authority,
instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government (including, without limitation, any
supranational bodies such as the European Union or the European Central Bank). 

 f. “LIBOR Lending Office” means Bank’s office located in the Cayman Islands,
British West Indies, or such other branch of Bank, domestic or foreign, as it may hereafter designate as its LIBOR Lending Office by notice to Borrower. 
 g. “Prime Rate” means the per annum interest rate established by Bank as its prime rate for its borrowers, as such rate may vary from time to time, which rate is not necessarily the lowest rate
on loans made by Bank at any such time. 
 h. “Prime Referenced Rate” means a per annum interest rate which is equal
to the Prime Rate, but in no event less than two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum. 
 2. Interest Rate Options. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Addendum, the Obligations under the Agreement shall bear interest at the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, except during any period of time during which, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Addendum, the Obligations under the Agreement shall bear interest on the basis of the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

3. Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall be payable
monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, until maturity (whether as stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the event that any payment under this Addendum becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth in this Addendum. Interest accruing hereunder
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest rate as a result of any change in the Daily
Adjusting LIBOR Rate or, to the extent applicable, the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change. 
 4. Bank’s Records.
The amount and date of each advance under the Agreement, its applicable interest rate, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error;
provided, however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Addendum
and the Agreement, when due in accordance with the terms hereof. For any advance under the Agreement bearing interest on the basis of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, if Bank shall designate a LIBOR Lending Office which maintains books separate from
those of the rest of Bank, Bank shall have the option of maintaining and carrying such advance on the books of such LIBOR Lending Office. 
 5.
Default Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall bear interest as set forth
in Section 2.3 of the Agreement, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall pay any late charges set forth in Section 2.3 of the Agreement, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall
not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under the Agreement. In no event shall the interest payable under this Addendum and the Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. 

6. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Obligations at any time without premium or penalty. Any
prepayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict, or otherwise
affect Bank’s right to make demand for payment of all or any part of the Obligations under the Agreement due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion. 
 7. Regulatory Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate. 
 a. If, at any time, Bank determines that, (1) Bank is unable to determine or ascertain the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, or (2) by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and
interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts or for the relative maturities are not being offered to Bank, or (3) the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin will not accurately or fairly cover or
reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining any of the Obligations under this Addendum based upon the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower. Thereafter, until Bank notifies Borrower that such conditions or
circumstances no longer exist, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the applicable interest rate for all Obligations during such period of time. 
 b. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to make or maintain any Obligations under the Agreement with interest based upon the Daily Adjusting
LIBOR Rate, Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower. Thereafter, until Bank notifies Borrower that such conditions or circumstances no longer exist, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the applicable interest
rate for all Obligations during such period of time. 
 c. If any Change in Law shall: (a) subject Bank (or its LIBOR
Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Addendum or any Obligations under the Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) of the principal of or interest under this
Addendum or any other amounts due under this Addendum in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office
or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office), or shall 

  
 1 

 
impose on Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Addendum or the Obligations; and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Addendum by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within
fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith
and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 d. In the event that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the maintaining of any Obligations, and such increase has the effect
of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have
achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such
compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any
obligations of Bank hereunder or to maintaining any Obligations. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes absent manifest error. 
 8. Legal Effect. Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and conditions of
the Agreement remain in full force and effect. 
 9. Conflicts. As to the matters specifically the subject of this Addendum, in the event
of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control.

 Under 17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) 
 and 240.24b-2 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “First Amendment”) is made as of August 6, 2012, by and between ARE-JOHN HOPKINS COURT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Landlord”), and VERENIUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). 

RECITALS 

A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of June 24, 2011 (the “Lease”).
Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant leases certain premises consisting of approximately 59,199 rentable square feet (“Premises”) in a building located at 3550 John Hopkins Court, San Diego, California. The Premises are more particularly
described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease. 
 B. In a letter dated July 2, 2012, Tenant advised Landlord that (i) Tenant had met one of the Initial Reduction Requirements and (ii) the Security Deposit should be reduced to the
amount of the Initial Reduced Security Deposit. 
 C. Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth below, to amend the Lease to, among other things, reduce the Security Deposit and replace Exhibit H to the Lease. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises
and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Security Deposit. The defined term “Security Deposit” on page 1 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following: 

 “Security Deposit: $1,600,000, subject to reduction as provided for in
Section 6 hereof.” 
  

	2.	Funded Equipment. Exhibit H to the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit A to this First Amendment. Exhibit H to the Lease may
be further supplemented by Tenant, with Landlord’s reasonable acceptance, within 90 days after the Commencement Date. 

  

	3.	Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively,
“Broker”) in connection with the transaction reflected in this First Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any
claims by any Broker, other than the broker, if any named in this First Amendment, claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction.

  

	4.	Miscellaneous. 

 a. This First Amendment is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions. This
First Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto. 

 b. This First Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, their respective agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders. 
 c. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The
signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having additional signature pages
executed by other parties to this First Amendment attached thereto. 
 d. Neither this First Amendment nor a memorandum of this
first amendment shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant in any public record. The foregoing is not intended to prohibit Tenant from filing this First Amendment to the extent that Tenant is required to do so pursuant to applicable SEC requirements.

 e. Except as amended and/or modified by this First Amendment, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms
of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unaltered and unchanged by this First Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this First Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this First Amendment
shall prevail. Whether or not specifically amended by this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the purpose and intent of this First Amendment.
