together with Mercury, Mercury Solar and Elemental, individually and collectively, jointly and severally, the “New Borrower”). 
 1.
DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS. Among other indebtedness and obligations which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to a loan arrangement dated as of December 19, 2011, evidenced
by, among other documents, a certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2011, as amended by a certain First Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2012, as further amended by a certain Second Loan
Modification and Reinstatement Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2012 as further amended by a certain Third Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2013, as further amended by a certain Joinder and Fourth Loan Modification
Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2013 and as further amended by a certain Fifth Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2013 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement. 
 2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Obligations is secured by
(i) the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement, (ii) that certain Security Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2011, between the Secured Guarantor and Bank (as amended, the “Security Agreement”), and
(ii) the “Intellectual Property Collateral”, as such term is defined in each certain IP Agreement (together with any other collateral security granted to Bank, the “Security Documents”). 

Hereinafter, the Loan Agreement, together with all other documents executed in connection therewith evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the
Obligations shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”. 
 3. JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION. New Borrower has been
purchased by or through Secured Guarantor or a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Secured Guarantor, and each is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Secured Guarantor. New Borrower hereby joins the Loan Agreement and each of the other appropriate
Existing Loan Documents, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Loan Agreement and each of the other appropriate Existing Loan Documents, as if New Borrower were originally named a
“Borrower” and/or a “Debtor” therein. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, New Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to pay and perform when due all present and future indebtedness, liabilities and obligations
of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Existing Loan Documents to “Borrower” and/or “Debtor” shall be deemed to refer to and
include New Borrower. Further, all present and future Obligations of Borrower shall be deemed to refer to all present and future Obligations of New Borrower. New Borrower acknowledges that the Obligations are due and owing to Bank from Borrower
including, without limitation, New Borrower, without any defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever as of the date hereof. 
 4.
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, New Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of New Borrower’s now existing or hereafter arising
rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located, including, without limitation, all of New Borrower’s assets listed on Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement
and all of New Borrower’s books and records relating to the foregoing and any 

  
 1 

 
and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and
insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. New Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral
(subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under the Loan Agreement). If New Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, such New Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by such New
Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
New Borrower further covenants and agrees that by its execution hereof it shall provide all such information, complete all such forms, and take all such actions, and enter into all such agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Bank that are reasonably deemed necessary by Bank in order to grant and continue a valid, first perfected security interest to Bank in the Collateral. New Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to any Borrower,
with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either any Borrower or any other Person, may be deemed to violate the rights of
Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion. 

5. SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Borrower (in each case including, without limitation, New Borrower) waives any suretyship defenses available to it
under the Code or any other applicable law. Borrower waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank
may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Loan Modification Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the
rights of Bank under the Loan Agreement), to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any
payment made by any Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made
by any Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this section shall be null and void. If any
payment is made to any Borrower in contravention of this section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Any
Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions under the Loan Agreement. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes under the Loan Agreement, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions
thereunder. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, regardless of which Borrower actually received said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower
directly received all Credit Extensions. 
 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Except as described in the revised Perfection Certificate delivered in
connection herewith, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank that all representations and warranties in the Loan Documents made on the part of any Borrower are true and correct on the date hereof with respect to New Borrower, with the same
force and effect as if New Borrower were originally named as “Borrower” in the Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower and New Borrower hereby represent and warrant to Bank that this Loan Modification Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Borrower and New Borrower, and constitutes their legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against each in accordance with its terms. Hereafter, each reference to “Borrower” and/or “Debtor”) in any Loan
Document shall be deemed to reference both Borrower and New Borrower.
