New Borrower and Existing Borrower, are hereinafter individually and collectively, jointly and severally, “Borrower”).

1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS. Among other indebtedness and obligations which may be owing by Existing Borrower to Bank, Existing Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to a loan arrangement dated as of November 2, 2015, evidenced by, among other documents, a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 2, 2015, among Existing Borrower and Bank as amended by that certain First Loan Modification Agreement dated as of March 30, 2016, as further amended by that certain Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of October 25, 2016, as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 17, 2017, as further amended by that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 27, 2018, as further amended by a certain Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 22, 2020, as further amended by a certain Sixth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 22, 2020, as further amended by a certain Seventh Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 23, 2020, and as further amended by a certain Eighth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 7, 2021 (as has been and may be further amended, modified, restated, replaced or supplemented from time to time the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.

2. JOINDER TO LOAN AGREEMENT. New Borrower hereby joins the Loan Agreement and each of the Loan Documents, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents, as if it were originally named a “Borrower” therein. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, New Borrower agrees that it will be jointly and severally liable, together with the Existing Borrower, for the payment and performance of all obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions.

3. SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Each Borrower waives any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law. Each Borrower waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, each Borrower irrevocably waives until the payment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which by their terms are to survive the termination of the Loan Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement) and the termination of the Loan Documents, all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Until the payment in full of all

Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which by their terms are to survive the termination of the Loan Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement) and the termination of the Loan Documents, any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 3 shall not be enforced. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 3, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

4. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, New Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of New Borrower’s now existing or hereafter arising rights and interests in such assets of New Borrower as are consistent with the description of the Collateral set forth on Exhibit A of the Loan Agreement (as if such Collateral were deemed to pertain to the assets of New Borrower), whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located, including, without limitation, all of New Borrower’s assets, and all New Borrower’s books relating to the foregoing and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. New Borrower further covenants and agrees that by its execution hereof it shall provide all such information, complete all such forms, and take all such actions, and enter into all such agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank that are reasonably deemed necessary by Bank in order to grant a valid, perfected first priority security interest to Bank in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement). New Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of the Loan Agreement, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. New Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank that all representations and warranties in the Loan Documents made on the part of Existing Borrower are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof with respect to New Borrower, with the same force and effect as if New Borrower was named as “Borrower” in the Loan Documents in addition to Existing Borrower; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and provided, further that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date.

6. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Obligations is secured by, among other property, the Collateral as defined in the Loan Agreement (together with any other collateral security granted to Bank, as amended, the “Security Documents”). Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”.
