EX-10.3

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is among Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“HTGC”), in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent for Lenders (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), the financial institutions who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as lenders (together with HTGC, collectively the “Lenders”, and each individually, a “Lender”), Amedica Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and the other Persons (as defined below), if any, who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with Borrower, each a “Loan Party” and collectively, “Loan Parties”).

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 11. All other capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the UCC. Any accounting term used but not defined herein 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.

1.2 Section References. Any section, subsection, schedule or exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the occurrence of the Funding Condition, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees to make a loan (the “Term Loan”) in Dollars to Borrower on the Closing Date, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Upon the funding of such Term Loan, the Term Loan Commitment shall terminate.

(iii) The Term Loan made by each Lender is evidenced by this Agreement, and if requested by such Lender, a Note payable to such Lender.

(a) Term Loan. The Term Loan shall accrue interest in arrears from the date made until such Term Loan is fully repaid at the Term Loan Interest Rate.

(b) Computation. All computations of interest and fees calculated on a per annum basis shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Such method of calculation will result in an effective rate that exceeds the rate stated in this Section. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee under the Loan Documents shall be made by Agent and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Default Rate. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default at a rate equal to the Default Rate. The application of the Default Rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period or waive any Default or Event of Default or otherwise limit Agent’s or any Lender’s right or remedies hereunder. All interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(d), as applicable

(d) Maximum Lawful Rate. Anything herein or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder and thereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by Agent and Lenders would be contrary to the provisions of any Requirement of Law applicable to Agent and Lenders limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders, and in such event Loan Parties shall pay Agent and Lenders interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Loan Parties shall continue to pay interest hereunder and thereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent and Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the making of the Term Loan as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(a) Interest Payments. For the Term Loan, Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, at the rate of interest determined in accordance with Section 2.3 in arrears on each Scheduled Payment Date, commencing on July 1, 2014.

(b) Principal Payments. For the Term Loan, Borrower shall pay principal to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, in thirty (30) (the “Number of Payments”) equal consecutive payments (mortgage style where the monthly amount is the same but the amount of principal and interest will vary) of principal and interest (the “Monthly Amortization Amount”) on each Scheduled Payment Date, commencing on August 1, 2015 (the “Initial Principal Payment Date”) and one final payment in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal balance of the Term Loan and accrued but unpaid interest on the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, if the Interest Only Extension Conditions are satisfied, the “Number of Payments” shall be reduced to twenty four (24) and the “Initial Principal Payment Date” shall be extended to February 1, 2016, but periodic payments of principal and interest will continue to be in equal consecutive payments (mortgage style where the monthly amount is the same but the amount of principal and interest will vary) of principal and interest with one final payment in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal balance of the Term Loan and accrued but unpaid interest on the Final Maturity Date.

(c) Maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.4(b), all outstanding Obligations are due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) the Final Maturity Date or (ii) the date that the Loans otherwise become due and payable hereunder, whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise.

(d) Method of Payments. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made by ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Lender will initiate debit entries to the Borrower’s account as authorized in the Automatic Payment Authorization Agreement on each Scheduled Payment Date. Whenever any payment required under any Loan Document would otherwise be due on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees and interest (including late fees and default interest), as the case may be, shall not accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. Borrower shall not revoke the Automatic Payment Authorization Agreement without Agent’s prior written consent.

(i) All payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all Indemnified Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be withheld or deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Agent or any Lender, (A) an additional amount shall be payable as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) Loan Parties shall make such withholdings or deductions, (C) Loan Parties shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (D) Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent or such Lender evidence of such payment.

(ii) If the introduction of or any change in, after the Closing Date, any Requirement of Law increases Agent’s or any Lender’s costs or reduces its income for any Loan, then Borrower shall upon provision of reasonable evidence of such increase or decrease and ten (10) days written notice by Agent or such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) promptly pay to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional expense; provided that all requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued or promulgated under, in connection with or pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. The Agent or such Lender (with a copy to Agent) shall submit a certificate as to the amount of such reduction or such increased cost to Borrower, provided that, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to payment of any amounts under this Section 2.4(e) relating to periods prior to 180 days before the date Agent or such Lender sends the Certificate. Agent and each Lender agrees that it shall allocate any such increased costs among its customers similarly affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with Agent’s or such Lender’s customary practice.

(f) Loan Account. Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of the Term Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

(g) Payment of Obligations. Without limiting Section 2.4(d), Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, debit funds from Borrower’s operating account specified in the Automatic Payment Authorization Agreement to pay all Obligations under any Loan Document if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due.

(i) Borrower Election for Payment in Common Stock. Subject to satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions and compliance with the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.4(h), Borrower may elect to pay, in whole or in part, any regularly scheduled installment of principal (a “Principal Installment Payment”) up to an aggregate maximum amount of $1,500,000 by converting a portion of the principal of the Term Loan into shares of Common Stock that are free of any transfer restrictions in lieu of payment in cash (such option, the “Conversion Option”). In order to validly exercise a Conversion Option, (A) Borrower must deliver written notice thereof, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, to Lender (a “Borrower Conversion Election Notice”) five (5) days prior to the applicable due date of the Principal Installment Payment (the “Principal Installment Due Date”), (B) Borrower shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to the applicable Lender the shares of Common Stock to be issued as provided in the Borrower Conversion Election Notice via the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program of the Depository

Trust Company no later than the first trading day following the applicable Principal Installment Due Date (such date, the “Delivery Date”), and (C) all Conversion Conditions must be satisfied in respect of such payment. A Borrower Conversion Election Notice, once delivered by Borrower, shall be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed, in writing, by Agent. The number of such shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of such Borrower Conversion Election Notice shall be equal to the number determined by dividing (x) the principal amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price. The aggregate principal amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(h)(i) shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000). Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Borrower Conversion Election Notice shall be deemed to be issued upon conversion of the Note should a Note have been issued by Borrower.

(ii) Conversion Conditions. Notwithstanding Section 2.4(h)(i) or 2.4(h)(iii), Borrower’s right to deliver, and Lender’s obligation to accept, shares of Common Stock in lieu of payment in cash of a Principal Installment Payment is conditioned on the satisfaction of each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Conversion Conditions”) as of such Delivery Date: (A) the closing price of the shares of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Nasdaq stock market (the “Nasdaq”) or other national securities exchange for each of the seven (7) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Delivery Date shall be greater than or equal to the Fixed Conversion Price; (B) the Common Stock issued in connection with any such payment does not exceed 15% of the total trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty-two (22) consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including such Delivery Date; (C) only one Borrower Conversion Election Notice and Agent Conversion Election Notice may be given in any calendar month during the amortization period; (D) the Common Stock is (and was on each of the thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such Delivery Date) quoted or listed on the Nasdaq or other national securities exchange; (E) a registration statement is effective and available for the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered on such Delivery Date so that the shares of Common Stock can be sold without restriction by the Delivery Date and Lender shall not be subject to any lock-up or market standoff agreement which prohibits or restricts its ability to sell such shares of Common Stock; (F) after giving effect to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to Lender, Lender would not (1) beneficially own, together with its Affiliates, Common Stock in excess of the limitations specified in subsection (h)(iv) below and (2) have been issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to all Borrower Conversion Election Notices and Agent Conversion Election Notices in an aggregate amount in excess of the Cap, as defined in subsection (h)(iv) below; (G) as of such Delivery Date, there is no outstanding Event of Default and there is no breach or default that, if left uncured, would result in an Event of Default; and (H) Borrower shall have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Borrower Conversion Election Notice or Agent Conversion Election Notice, as applicable. If any of the Conversion Conditions are not satisfied as of a Delivery Date, Borrower shall not be permitted to pay, and Lender shall not be obligated to accept, the Principal Installment Payment in shares of Common Stock, and Borrower shall instead pay such principal amount in cash; provided, however, that the Conversion Conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (G) above may be waived by a writing executed by both Borrower and Agent. In the event the Borrower is relying upon an effective registration statement to satisfy clause (E) of the Conversion Conditions, each of the Borrower and Lender shall provide customary indemnification to one another with respect to such registration statement in a form acceptable to the Borrower and Lender.

(iii) Lender Election for Payment in Cash or Conversion to Common Stock. Subject to satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions and compliance with the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.4(h), with respect to any Principal Installment Payment scheduled from Borrower, Agent may elect to have Borrower make payment in Common Stock by requiring Borrower to effect a Conversion Option. In order to effect such a Conversion Option, Agent shall (A) deliver a written notice thereof in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (an “Agent Conversion Notice”) to Borrower five (5) days prior to (i) the applicable Principal Installment Due Date. Borrower shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to the applicable Lender the shares of Common Stock to be issued as provided in the Agent Conversion Election Notice via the Fast

Automated Securities Transfer Program of the Depository Trust Company no later than the Delivery Date, which shares of Common Stock shall be free of any restrictions on transfer. An Agent Conversion Election Notice, once delivered by Agent, shall be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed, in writing, by Borrower. The number of such shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of such Principal Installment Payment shall be equal to the number determined by dividing (x) the principal amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Agent Conversion Election Notice shall be deemed to be issued upon partial conversion of the principal of the Note should a Note have been issued by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s right to receive, and Borrower’s obligation to issue, shares of Common Stock in lieu of payment in cash of a Principal Installment Payment is conditioned on the satisfaction of the following condition as of such Delivery Date: the aggregate principal amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(h)(iii) of this Agreement shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000).

(iv) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Lenders, together with their Affiliates, shall not be permitted to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock (other than shares that may be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2.4(h)(iv)) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, it being the intent of Borrower and Lenders that Lenders, together with their Affiliates, not be deemed at any time to have the power to vote or dispose of greater than 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at any time; provided, however, that Agent shall have the right, upon 61 days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to waive the 9.99% limitation of this subsection. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not be permitted to issue to Lenders, and Lenders shall not be required to accept, shares of Common Stock pursuant to ether a Borrower Conversion Election Notice or an Agent Conversion Election Notice if and to the extent such issuance, when taking together with all other issuances pursuant to prior such notices, would result in (A) the issuance of more than 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or (B) Lenders, together with their Affiliates, beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (each of clauses (A) and (B) are referred to herein as the “Cap”). As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of Agent, Borrower shall within one business day confirm orally and in writing to Agent the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding as of any given date.

(vi) Stock Reservation. Borrower covenants and agrees to reserve from its duly authorized capital stock not less than the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon payment of any Principal Installment Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(h) of this Agreement. Borrower further represents, warrants and covenants that, upon issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(h) of this Agreement, such shares of Common Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(vii) Authorization. For so long as a Lender holds any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.4(h) of this Agreement, Borrower shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for listing on Nasdaq (or on another national securities exchange) and Borrower shall not take any action which would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on Nasdaq (or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed).

(viii) If the shares of Common Stock purportedly issued pursuant to this Section 2.4(h) are not issued timely and/or the Conversion Conditions were not satisfied and Agent did not waive such noncompliance in writing, Agent may, at any time prior to thirty (30) days after the

applicable Principal Installment Payment was due, reject the delivery of such shares and require payment in Cash together with any late fees, default interest or other applicable charges. On receipt of such Cash payment, Agent shall cooperate with Borrower to return such shares.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments and Commitment Terminations. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may, without premium or penalty, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in full, but not in part. Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may prepay the Term Loan in full, but not in part, by paying the entire principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment charge equal to 6% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being repaid (the “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Term Loan.

(b) Term Loan Prepayment Amounts. Upon the date of (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.5(a) or (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan required under this Agreement (whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a sum equal to all outstanding principal and all accrued interest thereon and other Obligations with respect to the Term Loan. In addition, Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Charge if the prepayment of the Term Loan is made within the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(a) Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a non-refundable closing fee in an amount equal to $200,000, which fee shall be fully earned when paid regardless of the early termination of this Agreement.

(b) End of Term Fee. On the earliest to occur of (i) the Final Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a non-refundable end of term fee in an amount equal to $1,450,000, provided, however, if the Financing Condition is not satisfied, such fee shall be $1,950,000. Notwithstanding the required payment date of fee, it shall be deemed fully earned as of the Closing Date regardless of the early termination of this Agreement.

2.7 Authorization and Issuance of the Warrants. Borrower has duly authorized the issuance to each Term Loan Lender (or its respective Affiliate or designee) of Warrants evidencing each Term Loan Lender’s (or its respective Affiliate’s or designee’s) right to acquire its respective Pro Rata Share of Borrower’s Common Stock pursuant to such Warrants. The exercise period shall expire five (5) years from the date such Warrants are issued.

3.1 Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due, whether at the Final Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations, and as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due by each Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a lien on and security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following Property:

under any license agreements, leases, and franchise agreements or rights to the payment of money), General Intangibles (including, without limitation, Intellectual Property), all books and records of such Loan Party relating to each of the foregoing, and all additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to such Property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, and all Proceeds, insurance claims, products, profits and other rights to payments not otherwise included in the foregoing; provided, that, the grant of security interest herein shall not extend to and the term “Collateral” shall not include equipment subject to liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.1 where the agreements governing the capital lease obligations or purchase money Indebtedness related thereto prohibit such security interest, for so long as such prohibition exists.

Each Loan Party hereby represents and covenants that such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral in existence on the Closing Date, and will constitute a valid, first priority perfected security interest in Collateral acquired after the Closing Date. Each Loan Party hereby covenants that it shall give written notice to Agent promptly upon the acquisition by such Loan Party or creation in favor of such Loan Party of any commercial tort claim. In order to perfect or protect Agent’s security interest and other rights in each Loan Party’s Intellectual Property, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file, as applicable and in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, a patent security agreement and/or a trademark security agreement, to be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and a copyright security agreement to be filed with the United States Copyright Office (each of the foregoing, an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”).

3.2 Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file UCC financing statements in all appropriate jurisdictions and amendments thereto describing the Collateral as “all assets of the debtor” or words of similar import and containing any other information required by the applicable UCC to perfect Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) granted hereby.

3.3 Termination of Security Interest. Upon the Termination Date, (a) Agent’s lien on and security interest in the Collateral shall be automatically terminated without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act and (b) at the request of any Loan Party, Agent shall, at the Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense and without any recourse, representation or warranty, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

4.1 Conditions Precedent to Term Loan. No Lender shall be obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, or to take, fulfill, or perform any other action hereunder, until the following have been delivered to Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and Lenders (the date on which Lenders make the Term Loan, the “Closing Date”):

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have (on behalf of itself and Lenders) all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable Requirement of Law. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) at the written request of the Requisite Lenders, Agent shall, or (b) upon the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to this Section 8.2, or upon receipt of written request of the Requisite Lenders to exercise remedies generally, Agent may, (w) notify any Account Debtor or any obligor on any instrument which constitutes part of the Collateral to make payments to Agent (for the benefit of itself and Lenders), (x) with or without legal process, enter any premises where the Collateral may be and take possession of and remove the Collateral from the premises or store it on the premises, (y) sell the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in part, and have the right to bid and purchase at such sale, or (z) lease or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Collateral, applying proceeds from such disposition to the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.3.

Agent may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at a Loan Party’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs. Any notice that Agent is required to give to a Loan Party under the UCC of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given in accordance with this Agreement at least ten (10) days prior to such action. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s Related Persons) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney to: (i) take any of the actions specified above in this paragraph; (ii) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Agent’s possession; (iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Agent determines to be reasonable; and (iv) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Loan Party that Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce its rights in or to any of the Collateral or to perfect or better perfect Agent’s security interest (on behalf of itself and Lenders) in any of the Collateral.

remedies under this Section 8.2 at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent (on behalf of itself and Lenders), (A) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Loan Party), to use or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (B) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Loan Party) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Loan Party. The appointment of Agent as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.2, Agent shall not be required to obtain the consent of any Lender to take any action to protect, preserve or take possession of any Collateral that is subject to an Exigent Circumstance.

8.3 Application of Proceeds. Proceeds from any Transfer of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property (other than Permitted Dispositions) and all payments made to or Proceeds of Collateral, including, without limitation, Intellectual Property received by Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to pay all fees, costs, indemnities, reimbursements and expenses then due to Agent under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (b) second, to pay all fees, costs, indemnities, reimbursements and expenses then due to Lenders under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, until paid in full in cash, (c) third, to pay all interest on the Loans then due to Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (other than interest, fees, expenses and other amounts accrued after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in Section 8.1(g) if a claim for such amounts is not allowable in such proceeding), until paid in full in cash, (d) fourth, to pay all principal on the Loans then due to Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, until paid in full in cash, (e) fifth, to pay all other Obligations then due to Agent and Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (including, without limitation, all interest, fees, expenses and other amounts accrued after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in Section 8.1(g) whether or not a claim for such amounts is allowable in such proceeding), until paid in full in cash, and (f) sixth, to Borrower or as otherwise required by any Requirement of Law. Borrower shall remain fully liable for any deficiency. Each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral, including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints HTGC (together with any successor Agent pursuant to Section 9.7) as Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Loan Party, (ii) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Agent under such Loan Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit Account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article 9 to the extent provided by Agent.

(c) Under the Loan Documents, Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Person and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by HTGC or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(a) Each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Agent or Requisite Lenders (or, if expressly required in any Loan Document, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by Agent or Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders.

(b) If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with any Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document (i) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to any Requirement of Law or any Loan Document, (ii) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to any potential liability under any Requirement of Law or (iii) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under any Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

(c) Agent is hereby authorized by each Loan Party and each Lender to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion, on E-Systems. Each Loan Party and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the use of transmissions via an E-System or electronic mail is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse, and each Loan Party and each Lender assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission via E-Systems or electronic mail. Each “e-signature” on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature”, and each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to this Section, the separate terms, conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such E-System (or such terms, conditions and privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such E-System) and related contractual obligations executed by Agent, Loan Parties and/or Lenders in connection with the use of such E-System. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-SYSTEMS.

None of Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and each Loan Party hereby waives and shall not assert (and each Loan Party shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties of Agent expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent: (i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Related Person; (ii) shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document; (iii) makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Lender or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Related Person of any Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any Loan Party, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default, and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default that is clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders, provided that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and each Loan Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each Loan Party shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor.

Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Agent to the Lenders, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons. Each Lender agrees that is shall not rely on any field examination, audit or other report provided by Agent or its Related Persons (an “Agent Report”). Each Lender further acknowledges that any Agent Report (a) is provided to the Lenders solely as a courtesy, without consideration, and based upon the understanding that such Lender will not rely on such Agent Report, (b) was prepared by Agent or its Related Persons based upon information provided by the Loan Parties solely for Agent’s own internal use, and (c) may not be complete and may not reflect all information and findings obtained by Agent or its Related Persons regarding the operations and condition of the Loan Parties.

Each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent or its Related Persons that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its Related Persons from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender arising out of such Lender’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents.

9.6 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and any taxes or insurance paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, to the extent not indemnified by the applicable Lender, taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons under this Section 9.6 to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or if Agent reasonably

determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment to or for the account of any Lender but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.6.

9.7 Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective, in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.7. If Agent delivers any such notice, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Requisite Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Effective immediately upon its resignation, (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (b) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (c) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents, and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 9.2(b), the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

9.8 Release of Collateral. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or in the case of (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(a) any Guarantor if all of the Stock of such Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party is sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to any Loan Document; and

(b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders against (i) any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any Collateral subject to a Lien that is expressly permitted under clause (d) of the definition of the term “Permitted Lien” and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of all of the Commitments, (B) payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that survive termination of this Agreement and for which no claim has been asserted) that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, and (C) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and Lenders of liability releases from the Loan Parties in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent (the satisfaction of the conditions in this clause (iii), the “Termination Date”).

9.9 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any applicable Requirement of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.10(d), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time upon the direction of Agent, without notice to any Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Loan Parties (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Loan Parties) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that

(a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may purchase participations in accordance with the preceding sentence and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

(a) Advances; Payments. If Agent receives any payment with respect to a Term Loan for the account of Lenders on or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment with respect to a Term Loan for the account of Lenders after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount (including interest accruing on such amount at the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligation) from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of any Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to a Loan Party or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind and Agent will be entitled to setoff against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

(c) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of any Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under any Loan Document shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders.

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer or assign, at any time or times, all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to its Loans) to any Qualified Assignee; provided, however, that any such sale, transfer or assignment shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent (an “Assignment Agreement”), (ii) be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an existing Lender or is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates’) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior written consent of Agent, (iii) unless otherwise agreed to by Agent, be in an equal proportion of such Lender’s Terms Loan and Term Loan Commitment, and (iv) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent). In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 10.1(a), the

assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned portion of its Commitments and Loans from and after the date of such assignment. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Commitments or Loans, Borrower shall, upon the assignee’s or the assignor’s request, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. Agent may amend Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Section 10.1.

(b) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 10.1, each Lender may, without notice to or consent from any other Person, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such participation, (i) no such participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make any Loan hereunder, and, no such participant shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and Agent and other Lenders towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations, and in no case shall a participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 10.6(a).

(c) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 10.1, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (a) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

10.2 Notices. All notices or other communications given in connection with the Loan Documents shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto below such parties’ name or in the most recent Assignment Agreement executed by any Lender (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party delivered in accordance with this Section 10.2), and shall be deemed given (a) on the date of receipt if delivered by hand, (b) on the date of sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission if sent by facsimile transmission, (c) on the next Business Day after being sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier, (d) on the fourth Business Day after being sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (e) on the date of proper transmission if sent by electronic mail, provided that transmissions may be made by electronic mail only for notices or other communications if such transmission is specifically authorized in a Loan Document and such transmission is delivered in compliance with procedures of Agent applicable at the time and previously communicated to Borrower, or (f) on the later of the Business Day of such posting and the Business Day access to such posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the standard procedures applicable to such E-System, if posted to any E-System approved by or set-up by or at the direction of Agent.

10.3 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse upon demand all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with (a) the investigation, preparation, negotiation, execution, administration of, or any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of, any Loan Document, (b) any legal advice relating to Agent’s rights or responsibilities under any Loan Document, (c) the administration of the Loans and the facilities hereunder and any other transaction contemplated under any Loan Document and (d) the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, preparation for and/or

response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto, in each case of clauses (a) through (d), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, reasonable fees and expenses of consultants, auditors (including internal auditors) and appraisers, internal audit reviews and field examinations (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and UCC and other corporate search and filing fees and wire transfer fees. Each Loan Party further agrees that such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations. The Agent acknowledges receipt of a $37,500 commitment charge from the Borrower prior to the Closing Date which shall be applied towards Agent and Lender’s transaction costs and non-legal expenses.

10.4 Indemnity. Each Loan Party agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Agent, each Lender, and each of their respective Related Persons (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, penalties, claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation, related reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever arising, directly or indirectly, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with any Loan Documents, any E-System, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons or whether or not any such Person is a party thereto (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each Loan Party waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

10.5 Rights Cumulative. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY A LOAN PARTY UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AGENT, REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of Requisite Lenders) and Borrower; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders directly affected thereby (or by Agent with the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby), in addition to Agent, Requisite Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of Requisite Lenders) and Borrower, do any of the following: (i) increase or decrease the amount of, or extend the term of, any Commitment (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on (other than waiving the imposition of the Default Rate) any Loan or reduce the amount of any fees payable under any Loan Document, (iii) postpone the date fixed for or reduce or waive any scheduled installment of principal or any payment of interest or fees due to any Lender under the Loan Documents, (iv) release or subordinate the Lien on all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as otherwise may be provided in any Loan Document (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (v) release a Loan Party from, or consent to a Loan Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), except as otherwise may be provided in any Loan Document, (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive Sections 8.3, 9.9, or 10.6(a), or (vii) amend or modify the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or any provision providing for the consent or other action by all Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10.6 to the contrary, (i) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting or modifying the rights or obligations of Agent under any Loan

Document shall be effective unless signed by Borrower, Agent and Requisite Lenders, (ii) Agent may amend Schedule A to reflect assignments permitted hereunder, and (iii) Agent and Borrower may amend or modify any Loan Document to grant a new Lien, extend an existing Lien over additional Property or join additional Persons as Loan Parties, in each case for the benefit of Agent and Lenders.

10.8 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, and provided further that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. No other Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 10.8 and Sections 2.4(e), 9.6, 10.3, 10.4, 10.11, 10.12 and 10.13 and the other indemnities contained in the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any other Loan Document evidencing any of the Obligations shall not affect the right of Agent to retain the Collateral for such other Obligations as may then exist or as it may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future. To the extent Agent or any Lender receives any payment in respect of the Obligations and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be paid to any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

10.9 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent and each Lender, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. Neither Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between Agent or Lenders and Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated herein or therein.

10.10 Tombstones and Related Matters. Each Loan Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of any press releases, tombstone, advertising or other promotional materials (including, without limitation, via any electronic transmission) relating to the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement using such Loan Party’s name, product, photographs, logo or trademark. No Loan Party shall, and no Loan Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to HTGC or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein to which any of them is a party without the prior written consent of Agent except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with Agent.

10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Agent and Lender in the State of California. Payment to Agent and Lender by Borrower of the Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

10.12 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 10.13 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 10.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 10.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 10.13(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 10.12, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

10.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender and Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (a) with Borrower’s consent, (b) to such Lender’s or Agent’s Related Persons, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (i) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.14 or (ii) available to such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Loan Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (d) to the extent disclosure is required by any applicable Requirements of Law, or other legal, administrative, governmental or regulatory request, order or proceeding or otherwise requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (e) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (f) (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (ii) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Loan Parties, (g) to current or prospective assignees or participants and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 10.14 (and such Persons may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (b) above), (h) to any other party hereto, and (i) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Loan Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 10.14 and those of any other contractual obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 10.14 shall govern.

10.15 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.16 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.17 Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Construction. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with respect to the subject matter thereof (including, without limitation, any proposal letter or confidentiality agreement between the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect). Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement

10.18 Duty of Agent With Respect to Collateral; Marshaling. Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in a reasonable manner and as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Agent nor any Indemnitee shall be responsible to any Loan Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Agent in good faith. Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) pay taxes on behalf of any Loan Party, satisfy any Liens against the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), purchase insurance to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interest if Loan Parties fail to maintain the insurance required hereunder and may pay for the maintenance, insurance, protection and preservation of the Collateral and effect compliance with the terms of any Loan Document. Each Loan Party agrees to reimburse Agent, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such payment or performance and agrees that such amounts shall constitute Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby (a) waives any right under the UCC or any other applicable Requirement of Law to receive notice and/or copies of any filed or recorded financing statements, amendments thereto, continuations thereof or termination statements and (b) releases and excuses Agent and each Lender from any obligation under the UCC or any other applicable law to provide notice or a copy of any such filed or recorded documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation.

10.19 Joint and Several; Waiver of Defense. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents are joint and several.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.

(a) Borrower’s Business. For purposes of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall be deemed to include its “affiliates” as defined in Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations Section 121.103. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lender as of the Closing Date and covenants to Agent and Lender for a period of one year after the Closing Date with respect to subsections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 below, as follows:

(b) Small Business Administration Documentation. Agent and Lender acknowledge that Borrower completed, executed and delivered to Agent SBA Forms 480, 652 and 1031 (Parts A and B) together with a business plan showing Borrower’s financial projections (including balance sheets and income and cash flows statements) for the period described therein and a written statement (whether included in the purchase agreement or pursuant to a separate statement) from Agent regarding its intended use of proceeds from the sale of securities to Lender (the “Use of Proceeds Statement”). Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lender that the information regarding Borrower and its affiliates set forth in the SBA Form 480, Form 652 and Form 1031 and the Use of Proceeds Statement delivered as of the Closing Date is accurate and complete.

(c) Inspection. The following covenants contained in this Section (c) are intended to supplement and not to restrict the related provisions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower will permit, for so long as Lender holds any debt or equity securities of Borrower, Agent, Lender or their representative, at Agent’s or Lender’ expense, and examiners of the SBA to visit and inspect the properties and assets of Borrower, to examine its books of account and records, and to discuss Borrower’s affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower’s officers, senior management and accountants, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Agent or Lender or the SBA.

(d) Annual Assessment. Promptly after the end of each calendar year (but in any event prior to February 28 of each year) and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by Agent or Lender, Borrower will deliver to Agent a written assessment of the economic impact of Lender’s investment in Borrower, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with the investment, the impact of the investment on the businesses of Borrower in terms of expanded revenue and taxes, other economic benefits resulting from the investment (such as technology development or commercialization, minority business development, or expansion of exports) and such other information as may be required regarding Borrower in connection with the filing of Lender’s SBA Form 468. Lender will assist Borrower with preparing such assessment. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower will grant Agent and Lender and the SBA access to Borrower’s books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of such proceeds. Borrower also will furnish or cause to be furnished to Agent and Lender such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition of Borrower as Agent or Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds from the Loan only for purposes set forth in Section 7.16. Borrower will deliver to Agent from time to time promptly following Agent’s request, a written report, certified as correct by Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer, verifying the purposes and amounts for which proceeds from the Loan have been disbursed. Borrower will supply to Agent such additional information and documents as Agent reasonably requests with respect to its use of proceeds and will permit Agent and Lender and the SBA to have access to any and all Borrower records and information and personnel as Agent deems necessary to verify how such proceeds have been or are being used, and to assure that the proceeds have been used for the purposes specified in Section 7.16.

(f) Activities and Proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates (if any) will engage in any activities or use directly or indirectly the proceeds from the Loan for any purpose for which a small business investment company is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act, including 13 C.F.R. §107.720. Without obtaining the prior written approval of Agent, Borrower will not change within 1 year of the date hereof, Borrower’s current business activity to a business activity which a licensee under the SBIC Act is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act.

(g) Redemption Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Borrower, as amended from time to time (the “Charter”), if, pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the Charter, Lender is entitled to a redemption of its Warrant, such redemption (in the case of Lender) will be at a price equal to the redemption price set forth in the Charter (the “Existing Redemption Price”). If, however, Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the then current regulations promulgated under the SBIC Act prohibit payment of the Existing Redemption Price in the case of an SBIC (or, if applied, the Existing Redemption Price would cause the Common Stock to lose its classification as an “equity security” and Lender has determined that such classification is unadvisable), the amount Lender will be entitled to receive shall be the greater of (i) fair market value of the securities being redeemed taking into account the rights and preferences of such securities plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant, and (ii) the Existing Redemption Price where the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable to the Lender is limited to Borrower’s earnings plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant; provided, however, the amount calculated in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall not exceed the Existing Redemption Price.

(h) Compliance and Resolution. Borrower agrees that a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, or any other set of facts or circumstances where it has been asserted by any governmental regulatory agency (or Agent or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) that Agent, Lender and their affiliates are not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant right with respect to, any securities issued to Lender by Borrower, will constitute a breach of the obligations of Borrower under the financing agreements among Borrower, Agent and Lender. In the event of (i) a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum; or (ii) an assertion by any governmental regulatory agency (or Agent or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) of a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, then (i) Agent, Lender and Borrower will meet and resolve any such issue in good faith to the satisfaction of Borrower, Agent, Lender, and any governmental regulatory agency, and (ii) upon request of Lender or Agent, Borrower will cooperate and assist with any assignment of the financing agreements among Hercules Technology III, L.P. and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.

Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, if any, “Agent”) and certain other lenders (the “Lenders”) have entered into, or are about to enter into, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”) with Amedica Corporation (“Borrower”) [and (“Company”)], pursuant to which [Borrower] [Company] has granted, or will grant, to Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a security interest in certain assets of [Borrower] [Company], including, without limitation, all of [Borrower’s] [Company’s] cash, cash equivalents, accounts, books and records, goods, inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture and trade fixtures (such as equipment bolted to floors), together with all additions, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and proceeds, including, insurance proceeds, of the foregoing, but excluding any and all building fixtures (such as plumbing, lighting and HVAC systems that are permanently attached to the Premises) (collectively, the “Collateral”). Some or all of the Collateral is, or will be, located at certain premises known as [ ] in the City or Town of [ , County of and State of ] (“Premises”), and [Borrower] [Company] occupies the Premises pursuant to a lease, dated as of [DATE], between [Borrower] [Company], as tenant, and you, [NAME], as [owner/landlord/mortgagee/realty manager] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”).

By your signature below, you hereby agree that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect and you are not aware of any existing defaults thereunder, (ii) the Collateral is, and shall remain, personal property regardless of the method by which it may be, or become, affixed to the Premises; (iii) you agree to use your best efforts to provide Agent with written notice of any default by [Borrower] [Company] under the Lease resulting in a termination of the Lease (“Default Notice”) and Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure such default within 15 days following Agent’s receipt of such Default Notice, (iv) any security interest, landlord’s lien or other lien or interest that you may have in the Collateral and any proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, proceeds of any insurance therefor) shall be, and remain, subject and subordinate to the security interest of Agent in the Collateral, and you agree not to levy upon any Collateral or to assert any landlord lien, right of distraint or other claim against the Collateral for any reason; (v) Agent, and its employees and agents, shall have the right, from time to time, to enter into the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral; and (vi) Agent, and its employees and agents, shall have the right, upon any default by [Borrower] [Company] under the Agreement, to enter into the Premises and to remove or otherwise deal with the Collateral, including, without limitation, by way of public auction or private sale (provided that, if Agent conducts a public auction or private sale of the Collateral at the Premises, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord first and to hold such auction or sale in a manner that would not unduly disrupt Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Premises). Agent agrees to repair or reimburse you for any physical damage actually caused to the Premises by Agent, or its employees or agents, during any such removal or inspection (other than ordinary wear and tear), provided that it is understood by the parties hereto that Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the removal or absence of the Collateral therefrom. You hereby acknowledge that Agent shall have no obligation to remove or dispose of the Collateral from

the Premises and no action by Agent pursuant to this Consent shall be deemed to be an assumption by Agent of any obligation under the Lease and, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Agent shall not have any obligation to you.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that [Borrower’s] [Company’s] granting of a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, shall not constitute a default under the Lease nor permit you to terminate the Lease or re-enter or repossess the Premises or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy available to you.

This Consent and the agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, any successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including any transferees of the Premises). This Consent shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment of Borrower’s indebtedness in full in immediately available funds and the satisfaction in full of Borrower’s [and Company’s] performance of its obligations under the Agreement and the related documents.

This Consent and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Consent or any delivery contemplated hereby by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
