shall be undertaken in good faith, and with each of the Parties dealing fairly with each other. 
 8.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
Subject to Section 8.02 above, this Loan Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed to create, any rights enforceable by any person, partnership, corporation, joint venture, limited liability company or other form of organization or

judicial or quasi judicial determination, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to be reimbursed by the losing Party for all costs and expenses incurred, including without limitation all
attorneys’ fees and costs for services rendered to the prevailing Party and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment or order entered. The prevailing Party shall be determined by the court in the initial or any

unavailability of necessary materials, electrical power or fuel, civil rioting, terrorist attack, war or military conflict, inability to obtain all necessary permits or approvals (including any and all environmental approvals), or if the cost of
complying with environmental requirements renders this transaction economically impractical (collectively a “Force Majeure Event”), then such performance (except for the payment of money due hereunder) of this Loan Agreement shall be

		 	3	 	

 
forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it notifies Secured Party of
such intent to relocate and the place of relocation and it obtains prior written consent of the Secured Party prior to such relocation. 
 (e) The Borrower shall notify the Secured Party at least ten (10) days in advance of any change in the state of incorporation or formation or any change in the Borrower’s name(s) and the Borrower shall provide evidence that appropriate
financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing Liens in the Collateral.

 (f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment
and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following sentence, a perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 under the
UCC with the jurisdictions indicated on Exhibit B, attached hereto, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any Governmental Authority is required either (i) for the grant by the Borrower of, or the effectiveness of, the
Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement by the Borrower of (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder to the extent such rights
and remedies with respect to the Collateral can be perfected by making such filings.

requested by the Secured Party so as to maintain the Liens and Security Interest provided for hereunder as valid and perfected Liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this Security Agreement and the
Security Interest hereunder shall terminate pursuant to Section 11. The Borrower hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all persons. The Borrower shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party. At the
request of the Secured Party, the Borrower will deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more Financing Statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party
and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and the Borrower shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon demand, such
releases and/or subordinations of claims and Liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest hereunder, except with respect to the Permitted Liens. 
 (h) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file any UCC financing or continuation statement without the signature of the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, a filing of a Form UCC-1 financing statement with an appropriate description for the Collateral. The Borrower hereby ratifies any filing by the Secured Party of financing statements
prior to the date hereof with respect to the Collateral. A carbon, photographic, facsimile or any reproduction of this Security Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. 
  

 4 

 (i) The Borrower will not sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens and as otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. 
 (j) The Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial
change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Party’s security interest therein. 
 (k) The Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing
statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further action as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request and may in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its
security interest in the Collateral, other than as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof. Where Collateral is in the possession of a third party, the Borrower will join with the Secured Party in notifying the
third party of the Secured Party’s security interest and obtaining an acknowledgement from the third party that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party. The Borrower
will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Secured Party in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of (i) deposit accounts; (ii) investment property; (iii) letter-of-credit rights; and (iv) electronic chattel paper.

 (l) The Borrower shall permit the Secured Party and its employees and agents to inspect the Collateral during regular business hours, and
to make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral, all in accordance with the Loan Agreement. 
 (m) The Borrower shall promptly, and in
any case, in no less than five (5) days, notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by the
Borrower that may have a material adverse effect on the Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder. 
 (n) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by or on behalf of the Borrower with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date
furnished. 
 (o) The Borrower shall notify the Secured Party as soon as practicable after acquiring or creating a new Subsidiary, and cause
such new Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Secured Party joinders to this Security Agreement, and any other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower to which such
Subsidiary shall grant a security interest to the Secured Party in its assets that constitute Property as additional Collateral for the Obligations.

 4. Defaults. The following events shall be “Events of Default”: 
 (a) The occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in and under the Loan Agreement; 
 (b) Any representation or warranty of the Borrower in this Security Agreement shall prove to have been materially incorrect and the subject of that
breach of representation or warranty is material on or as the date made or deemed made; and 
 (c) The failure by the Borrower to observe or
perform any of its obligations hereunder for fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Borrower of notice of such failure from the Secured Party. 
 5. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant
to the Loan Agreement or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums
or instruments, or both, to the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations. 
 6. Rights and Remedies Upon
Default. Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Loan Agreement, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights
and powers: 
 (a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and
assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party
shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Borrower’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking
possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form. 
 (b) The Secured Party shall have the right to take
control of the operation of the Property that constitutes Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or
without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially
reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Borrower or right of redemption of the Borrower, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale,
lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or 
  

 6 

 
any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Borrower, which are hereby
waived and released. It is hereby understood that the Secured Party will be subject to and must comply with the remarketing provisions set forth in Section 10 of the Purchase Agreement. 
 7. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the
expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts
required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Borrower any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
Secured Party is legally entitled, the Borrower will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 10% per annum (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured
Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party. 
 8. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay, through the
Escrow Agreement, all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements
related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Borrower will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Loan Agreement. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. 
 9. Responsibility for Collateral. The Borrower assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral,
up to the limits of insurance proceeds, and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Loan shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for
any reason. 
 10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from
the Purchase Agreement, the Loan or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (b) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
other collateral for, or any guaranty, or 
  

					
		 	7	 	

 
any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; or (c) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense
available to the Borrower, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred
for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Borrower expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that
at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or
insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Security Agreement, and
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Security Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Borrower waives all
right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of
the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby. 
 11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the
Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Loan Agreement have been made in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense
of the Borrower, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Security Agreement and taking any and all other actions reasonably requested by the Borrower to terminate
the Secured Party’s Security Interest and release any and all Collateral. 
 12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

 (a) The Borrower authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents,
successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as the Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in the name of the Borrower, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
(i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Secured Party; (ii) to
sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents
relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for
monies due in respect of the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of the Secured Party, and at the Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems reasonably necessary to
protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Loan, all as fully and effectually as the

  

					
		 	8	 	

 
Borrower might or could do; and the Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Security Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. 
 (b) On a continuing basis, the Borrower will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, in the proper filing and recording
places in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Exhibit B, attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably
requested by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Security Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a
security interest in all the Collateral. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact so long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding, with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to
execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments
thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by law. 
 13. Miscellaneous.

 (a) Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, each Party agrees to take such actions and to
execute and deliver such documents as the other Party may reasonably request to effectuate the purposes of this Security Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignment. Borrower shall not assign any of its rights, interests, or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Not withstanding the foregoing, Borrower may assign any of it’s rights,
interest or obligations under this Security Agreement without prior written consent of the Secured Party, provided that such assignment is only to a related party of Borrower or to CCH with similar financial resources as Borrower or CCH. Subject to
the foregoing restriction, this Security Agreement and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives, and assigns. 
 (c) Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Security Agreement, neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by both Parties, and then only to the extent set forth in such writing.

matters set forth herein, and they supercede all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written, including the binding Equipment Purchase Commitment

 (f) Governing Law. This Loan Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of laws rule or principle that would result in the application of any other laws. 
 (g) Cumulative Rights; Waiver. The rights created under this Security Agreement, or by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised at
any time and from time to time. No failure by either Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any rights, shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver thereof or of any other right under this Security Agreement, nor shall any single or partial

		 	10	 	

 
any breach of any provision of this Security Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that provision or of any
breach of any other provision of this Security Agreement. The failure of any Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Security Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered or construed or deemed a waiver of any
provision or any breach of any provision of this Security Agreement or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or provision or any other term or provision of this Security Agreement. 
 (h) Liberal Construction. This Loan Agreement constitutes a fully negotiated agreement among commercially sophisticated Parties, each assisted by
legal counsel, and the terms of this Security Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party hereto because that Party or its legal representative drafted or prepared such provision. 
 (i) Severability. If any provision of this Security Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be severed
or deleted from this Security Agreement and the balance of this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability. 
 (j) Good Faith and Fair Dealing. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the performances required by the provisions of this Security
Agreement shall be undertaken in good faith, and with each of the Parties dealing fairly with each other. 
 (k) No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 14(b) above, this Security Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed to create, any rights enforceable by any person, partnership, corporation, joint venture, limited liability company or other form
of organization or association of any kind that is not a Party to this Security Agreement, except to the extent that Secured Party’s rights may be enforced by a parent company thereof or a subsidiary thereto. 
 (l) Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Loan Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which 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 for having an additional signature page executed by any other Party. Each Party agrees that each other Party may rely upon the facsimile signature of any Party on this Security Agreement as constituting a duly
authorized, irrevocable, actual, current delivery of this Security Agreement as fully as if this Security Agreement contained the original ink signature of the Party supplying a facsimile signature. 
 (m) Disputes. 
 (i)
Mediation. Any dispute or controversy arising out of, under, or in connection with, or in relation to, this Security Agreement and/or any amendments thereto, or the breach thereof, which is not resolved informally by prior mutual agreement of
the Parties hereto, shall be submitted to non-binding mediation. Each Party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys and all other 

  

					
		 	11	 	

 
expenses connected with presenting its case. Other costs of the mediation, including the mediator’s fee, the cost of any record or transcripts of the
mediation, and all other fees and costs, shall be borne by equally by the parties. If that matter has not been resolved pursuant to the aforesaid mediation procedure within thirty (30) days of the commencement of such procedure, or such other
period as the parties agree, either Party may seek relief in any court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281.8 or any similar statute of an applicable jurisdiction. 
 (ii) Attorneys Fees. If mediation is waived and/or modified writing by the Parties hereto pursuant to Section 14(m)(i) above,
and any Party to this Security Agreement reasonably retains counsel for the purpose of enforcing any provision of this Security Agreement, including without limitation the institution of any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this
Security Agreement, or to recover damages if otherwise available hereunder, or to obtain injunctive or other relief by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Security Agreement, or for a declaration based on a demonstrated necessity
of such Party’s rights or obligations under this Security Agreement, or for any other judicial or equitable remedy, then if the matter is settled by judicial or quasi-judicial determination, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition
to such other relief as may be granted, to be reimbursed by the losing Party for all costs and expenses incurred, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and costs for services rendered to the prevailing Party and any attorneys’
fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment or order entered. The prevailing Party shall be determined by the court in the initial or any subsequent proceeding. 
 (n) Venue. Venue for any mediation, action or proceeding brought pursuant to this Agreement shall be before a state or federal court, tribunal, or magistrate located in the County of San Diego, State of
California. 
 (o) Force Majeure. If any performance (other than the payment of money due hereunder) of this Security Agreement is
prevented, delayed, or made impracticable due to extended drought, flood, fire, earthquake, or other natural disaster, strike lock out, unavailability of necessary materials, electrical power or fuel, civil rioting, terrorist attack, war or military
conflict, inability to obtain all necessary permits or approvals (including any and all environmental approvals), or if the cost of complying with environmental requirements renders this transaction economically impractical (collectively a
“Force Majeure Event”), then such performance (except for the payment of money due hereunder) of this Security Agreement shall be excused for the period of prevention, delay, or impracticability resulting from the Force Majeure Event.

 (p) Effect of Delay. No course of dealing between the Borrower and the Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or the Loan shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
