LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 30, 2022, by and among CUE HEALTH INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement (collectively, “Lenders” and individually, each a “Lender”), EAST WEST BANK, as collateral and administrative agent for Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”), and COMERICA BANK as Documentation Agent. RECITALS This Agreement sets forth the terms on which Lenders will advance credit to Borrower, and Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Lenders. AGREEMENT The parties agree as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the definitions set forth on Exhibit A. Any term used in the Code and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to the term in the Code. 1.2 Accounting Terms. Any accounting term not specifically defined on Exhibit A shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and all calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP; provided that if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or covenant requirement set forth in any Loan Documents, and any of Agent, Lenders or Borrower shall so request, Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or covenant requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules. 1.3 Interpretation. Any references to “pro rata”, “pro rata share”, “ratably” or similar terms shall take into account the Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of each Lender and any outstanding commitments, undrawn Letters of Credit, and reimbursement obligations related to any Letters of Credit. 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 2.1 Credit Extensions. (a) Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Lenders to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at the times and at the interest rates in accordance with the terms hereof. 2 (b) Advances Under Revolving Line. (i) Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may request, and Lenders severally agree to make to Borrower loans on a revolving credit basis (each a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding original principal amount for all Lenders at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line and (ii) such amount as Borrower would still be in compliance with the asset coverage ratio set forth in Section 6.7(a), provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan or participate in a Letter of Credit if after giving effect to such Revolving Loan or such participation the sum of such Lender’s (w) Revolving Loans outstanding, (x) Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate maximum amount to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding and (y) Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of unreimbursed drawings under all Letters of Credit outstanding, would exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time, from time to time, without penalty or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all outstanding Advances under this Section 2.1(b) together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon shall be immediately due and payable. (ii) Form of Request; Lender Funding of Advances. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will give the Agent irrevocable notice by electronic mail, facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit C and delivered by a Responsible Officer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof on the date of receipt of such notice. On the proposed borrowing date, not later than 1:00 p.m., Pacific time, each Lender shall make available to the Agent the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate borrowing amount (as determined in accordance with this Section 2.1(b)) in immediately available funds by wiring such amount to such account as the Agent shall specify. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice given by a person who Agent and/or Lender reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for any damages or loss suffered by such Agent or Lender as a result of such reliance. Agent will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to a deposit account of the Borrower at the Agent as Borrower requests in writing; provided that such deposit account is subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. (iii) Defaulting Lenders. If and to the extent any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall not have made its pro rata share of the Revolving Loan available to the Agent in immediately available funds as set forth in this Section 2.1(b) and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall, on the Business Day following the date of such Advance 3 (the “Funding Date”), make such amount available to the Agent; provided that Agent shall be entitled to any interest applicable to such Advance for each day during such period. A notice submitted by the Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Defaulting Lender’s Advance on the Funding Date of such Advance for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the Funding Date of such Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Advance, without in any way prejudicing the rights and remedies of Borrower against such Defaulting Lender. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. (c) Letters of Credit. (i) As a subfacility under the Revolving Line, the L/C Issuer agrees from time to time (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) to issue or cause an Affiliate to issue commercial and standby letters of credit for the account of the Borrower (each a “Letter of Credit,” and collectively “Letters of Credit”) until thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, that the aggregate drawn and undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit) shall not at any time exceed Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “L/C Sublimit”). For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Sublimit shall be a part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Line. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Revolving Line and such amount shall not be available for borrowings. Borrower shall give Agent and the L/C Issuer notice prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit, and describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. The issuance by the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and that Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the L/C Issuer shall have requested in its sole discretion (each, a “L/C Application”). The L/C Issuer shall deliver a copy of the L/C Application to the Agent. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by the L/C Issuer, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term, as designated by the Borrower, not to exceed three hundred and sixty-five (365) days; provided, 4 however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date unless Borrower has posted on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit cash collateral to an account at the L/C Issuer and in which the Borrower grants a security interest to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of such Letter of Credit on terms satisfactory to the Agent and the L/C Issuer in their sole discretion, in which case the expiry date of such cash collateralized Letters of Credit may be up to one (1) year later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. The Letters of Credit may include a provision providing that their expiry date will automatically be extended each year for an additional one (1) year period unless the L/C Issuer delivers written notice to the contrary. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit. The L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Agent, concurrently with or promptly following its issuance of any Letter of Credit, a true and complete copy of each Letter of Credit. Promptly upon its receipt thereof, the Agent shall give notice to each Lender of the issuance of each Letter of Credit, specifying the amount thereof and the amount of such Lender’s percentage thereof. (ii) If the L/C Issuer shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer an amount equal to the amount paid by the L/C Issuer in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent relative thereto not later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific time, in United States dollars, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower received notice of such presentment and honor, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m. Pacific time or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower received such notice, if such notice is received after 11:00 a.m. Pacific time. (iii) If the L/C Issuer shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, but the Borrower does not reimburse the L/C Issuer as required under clause (ii) above and the Revolving Line has not been terminated (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise), such drawing paid under such Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Advance under the Revolving Line and shall be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such Advances and the Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of such deemed request, and each such Lender shall make available to the Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage) of the amount of such Advance; provided, however, that if Advances under the Revolving Line are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the L/C Issuer the full amount drawn, together with interest from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by the Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to Advances under the Revolving Line. In such event the Borrower agrees that the Agent, in its sole discretion, may debit any account

 

5 maintained by the Borrower with the Agent for the amount of any such drawing. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such letters of credit and to the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent, in such order of application as the Required Lenders may in their sole discretion elect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person to fund any activity or business in any Prohibited Territory or with any Person organized under or doing business in a Prohibited Territory. In addition to the Letters of Credit issued hereunder after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding as of the date hereof, shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and shall be considered Letters of Credit hereunder and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof including all fees in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional issuance fees with respect to the issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit solely as a result of such letters of credit being converted to Letters of Credit hereunder (but the Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in Section 6.12 hereof in connection with all Letters of Credit, including the Existing Letters of Credit), and (ii) no Existing Letter of Credit may be extended or renewed. (iv) Upon issuance by the L/C Issuer of each Letter of Credit hereunder (and on the Closing Date with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit), each Lender shall automatically acquire a pro rata participation interest in such Letter of Credit and related payments made by the L/C Issuer in connection with such Letter of Credit, based on its respective Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage. (v) Each Lender agrees to reimburse the L/C Issuer on demand, pro rata in accordance with its respective Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage, for (i) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the L/C Issuer to be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to any Letter of Credit (or related agreement), to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and (ii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against L/C Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any documentation or any transaction relating thereto, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, except to the extent that such liabilities, losses, costs or expenses were incurred by L/C Issuer as a result of L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment or by the L/C Issuer’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 6 2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances at any time exceeds the Revolving Line, Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of such event, pay to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, in cash, the amount of such excess. 2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations. (a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to the Prime Rate but in no event shall the interest rate be less than three and one half percent (3.50%). (b) Default Rate. All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default or such lesser amount the Required Lenders elect to impose from time to time in their sole discretion. (c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in arrears on the first calendar day of each calendar month during the term hereof. Agent shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Lender Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees) or, to the extent sufficient funds are not present in Borrower’s deposit accounts, against the Revolving Line, and if charged against the Revolving Line those charges shall thereafter be deemed to be Advances and shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, any interest not paid when due shall become a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. (d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice of such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 2.4 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of fees, principal of and interest on the Credit Extensions shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Loan Commitment Percentages then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set- off, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, Pacific time, on the due date thereof to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders. The Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall (except as otherwise directed by the 7 Required Lenders) immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Agent may receive to reduce Obligations (on a pro rata basis), but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Agent after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. 2.5 Lender Expenses and Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date and invoiced to Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, shall pay to Agent all Lender Expenses invoiced to Borrower, as and when they become due. Borrower authorizes Agent, at its sole option, to (i) make an Advance under the Revolving Line on or after the Closing Date, (ii) debit any other Borrower account with Agent, or (iii) make demand upon Borrower, in each case for payment of all Lender Expenses. Lender Expenses due on the Closing Date may be paid by way of an Advance under the Revolving Line. 2.6 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) remain outstanding or Lenders have any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement which obligation shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders shall have the right pursuant to Section 9.1(b) to terminate their obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 2.7 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; (ii) subject the Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; 8 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Agent, increase the cost to the L/C Issuer of issuing any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost to any such Lender of purchasing or maintaining any participation in a Letter of Credit, or the Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Agent or such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitments of such Lender or the Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the payment of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations). (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, including a calculation of the amount in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Any such certificate must be delivered within six (6) months after the incurrence by the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, of the amounts set forth therein (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to herein shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS. 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of Lenders to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Agent, and Lenders where necessary, shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and Lenders, the following except as otherwise provided in Section 6.14: (a) this Agreement; (b) a promissory note for each Lender that requests one;

 

9 (c) an officer’s certificate of Borrower with respect to good standing, no material adverse effect, incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto; (d) UCC National Form Financing Statement; (e) intellectual property security agreements; (f) such landlord and bailee waivers as requested by Agent; (g) copies of insurance certificates evidencing the insurance coverage required under Section 6.4 hereof and the insurance endorsements required by such Section; (h) payment of fees and Lender Expenses then due as specified in Section 2.5; (i) current SOS Reports indicating that except for Permitted Liens, there are no other security interests or Liens of record in the Collateral; (j) current financial statements, including audited statements for Borrower’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, together with an unqualified opinion, company prepared consolidated balance sheets and income statement for the most recently ended fiscal quarter in accordance with Section 6.2, and such other updated financial information as Agent may reasonably request; (k) current Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.2; (l) a perfection certificate; (m) subject to Section 4.2, securities and/or deposit account control agreements with respect to any accounts maintained by a Loan Party; (n) an Automatic Debit Authorization in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto; (o) Agent shall have been provided the opportunity to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral; (p) a fee letter between Agent and Borrower and payment of the fees specified therein that are payable on the Closing Date; and (q) such other documents or certificates, and completion of such other matters, as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, including, without limitation, any such documents or certificates required in connection with customary “know your customer” requirements, USA Patriot Act, and Beneficial Ownership Regulations. 10 3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of Lenders to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is further subject to the following conditions: (a) timely receipt by Lenders of the Payment/Advance Form as provided in Section 2.1; (b) the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would immediately exist after giving effect to such Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and those representations and warranties already subject to materiality or a Material Adverse Effect condition shall be true and correct in all respects). The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2(b); and (c) the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.7 shall be met immediately prior to and after giving effect to such borrowing. 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST AND GUARANTY. 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Loan Party grants and pledges to Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by each Loan Party of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Subject to Permitted Liens other than those under clauses (a), (j), (k), (l) (if the underlying lien is referenced in this sentence), (m) and (p) of such definition, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later- acquired Collateral. Each Loan Party also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its Intellectual Property, except in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Agent’s Lien (for the benefit of the Lenders) on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) are outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. At the sole expense of Borrower following termination of this Agreement, Agent shall deliver such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. (a) Each Loan Party authorizes Agent to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) describe the Collateral as all assets of such Loan Party of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance 11 of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether such Loan Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Loan Party, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Agent at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Each Loan Party shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Agent, at the request of Agent, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Agent may reasonably request, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to perfect and continue perfection of Agent’s security interests (for the benefit of the Lenders) in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. The Loan Parties shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Agent chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral with a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000) is in possession of a third party or bailee, the applicable Loan Party shall take such steps as Agent reasonably requests for Agent to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Agent. Where Collateral with a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000) is located at a property which is not owned by a Loan Party, the applicable Loan Party shall take such steps as Agent reasonably requests for Agent to obtain an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, from the owner and/or mortgagee of such property that it agrees to, among other things, waive or subordinate any Lien it may have on the Collateral, and agrees to permit the Agent to enter upon the premises and remove the Collateral or to use the premises to store or dispose of the Collateral. The applicable Loan Party shall cause Agent to obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, securities accounts or deposit accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. (b) Each Loan Party authorizes Agent, at its option, which shall be exercised upon request of any Lender, to take such actions as are necessary to cause the United States to assign to Agent its payment rights under any Accounts owed by it to Borrower and cause the assignment to be acknowledged under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 (31 U.S.C. 3727) in the event the Accounts owing by the United States in the aggregate at the end of any calendar month equal or exceed Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000). Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent will remit to Borrower within one (1) Business Day of receipt any such payments received in respect of Accounts owing by the United States. 4.3 Right to Inspect. Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, from time to time at reasonable times during Loan Parties’ usual business hours to inspect each Loan Party’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify such Loan Party’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral (the “Inspection”). For the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall be entitled to accompany Agent on any Inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is 12 continuing, the Loan Parties’ shall only be obligated to reimburse Agent for one (1) Inspection in each calendar year. 4.4 Collection Account. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall establish a deposit account maintained with the Agent (the “Collection Account”). Promptly after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause each Loan Party to (a) instruct all payments with respect to Accounts due to such Loan Party to be made directly to the Collection Account and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such payments to be made by the relevant account debtors directly to the Collection Account (and if any such payments are received other than through a direct payment to the Collection Account, Borrower shall cause such payment to be transferred to the Collection Account within five (5) Business Days of receipt) and while in Borrower’s possession such payments shall be held by Borrower in trust for Agent as Agent’s trustee, and Borrower shall deliver such payments to Agent in their original form as received, with proper endorsements for deposit. (b) After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all items or amounts remitted to the Collection Account or that Agent has otherwise received shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations on a daily basis (or such lesser frequency, but not less than two (2) times per month, as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower), whether then due or not, in the order set forth in Section 12.11 and no amounts shall be swept to other accounts unless the Required Lenders agree in writing to such a sweep in their sole discretion. Any amounts in the Collection Account, so long as no Event of Default exists, shall be transferred on a daily basis by Agent from the Collection Account to Borrower’s primary operating account maintained with Agent. Except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage which Borrower may suffer as a result of Agent’s processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and including claims, damages, fines, expenses, liabilities or causes of action of whatever kind resulting from Agent’s own negligence except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. 4.5 Guaranty. (a) Unconditional Guaranty of Payment. In consideration of the foregoing, each Guarantor from time to time party hereto hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all

 

13 Obligations. Guarantor agrees that it shall execute such other documents or agreements and take such action as Agent or the Required Lenders shall reasonably request to effect the purposes of its guaranty. If there is more than one Guarantor hereunder, such Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated for such guarantees provided for herein. (b) Separate Obligations. These obligations are independent of Borrower’s obligations and separate actions may be brought against Guarantor (whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower is joined in the action). 4.6 Guarantor's Waivers. (a) Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to (i) make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of change of any terms of repayment of the Indebtedness, default by Borrower or any other guarantor or surety, any action or nonaction taken by Borrower, Agent, any Lender, or any other guarantor or surety of Borrower, or the creation of new or additional Indebtedness; (ii) proceed against any person, including Borrower, before proceeding against Guarantor; (iii) proceed against any collateral for the Indebtedness, including Borrower's collateral, before proceeding against Guarantor; (iv) apply any payments or proceeds received against the Indebtedness in any order; (v) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any sale of the collateral pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law governing such sale; (vi) disclose any information about the Indebtedness, the Borrower, the collateral, or any other guarantor or surety, or about any action or nonaction of Agent or any Lender; or (vii) pursue any remedy or course of action in Lender's power whatsoever. (b) Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or surety or any other person; (ii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Indebtedness; (iii) the application of proceeds of the Indebtedness by Borrower for purposes other than the purposes understood and intended by Guarantor, Agent and any Lender; (iv) any act of omission or commission by Lender which directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the discharge of Borrower or any other guarantor or surety, or the Indebtedness, or the loss or release of any collateral by operation of law or otherwise; (v) any statute of limitations in any action under this Guaranty or on the Indebtedness; or (vi) any modification or change in terms of the Indebtedness, whatsoever, including without limitation, the renewal, extension, acceleration, or other change in the time payment of the Indebtedness is due and any change in the interest rate, and including any such modification or change in terms after revocation of this Guaranty on the Indebtedness incurred prior to such revocation. (c) Guarantor waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive. (d) Guarantor waives all rights and any defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender even though that the election of remedies, 14 such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. (e) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower's obligation is secured by real property. This means among other things: Agent or any Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower. If Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower the amount of Borrower's obligation may be reduced only by the price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price. Agent may collect from Guarantor even if Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower's obligation is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights and defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the Code of Civil Procedure. (f) Guarantor understands and agrees that the foregoing waivers are unconditional and irrevocable waivers of substantive rights and defenses to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled under state and federal law. The rights and defenses waived include, without limitation, those provided by California laws of suretyship and guaranty, anti-deficiency laws, and the Uniform Commercial Code. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has provided these waivers of rights and defenses with the intention that they be fully relied upon by Agent and all Lenders. Guarantor further understands and agrees that this Guaranty is a separate and independent contract between Guarantor and Agent and the Lenders, given for full and ample consideration, and is enforceable on its own terms. Until all of the Indebtedness is paid in full, Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other guarantor, surety, or other person, and further, Guarantor waives any right to participate in any collateral for the Indebtedness now or hereafter held by Agent. (g) Guarantor's Understanding With Respect To Waivers. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy. 5.

Other than as specifically permitted hereunder, directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction with any Affiliate except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to such Loan Party than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person. 7.9 Subordinated Debt. Make any payment in respect of any Subordinated Debt, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any such payment, except in compliance with the terms of such Subordinated Debt and the terms of the subordination agreement relating to such Subordinated Debt, or amend, terminate or release any provision of any document evidencing such Subordinated Debt, except with Required Lenders’ prior written consent and except in compliance with the terms of the subordination agreement relating to such Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision affecting Agent and Lenders’ rights contained in any documentation, or in any way that is more restrictive on any Loan Party, relating to the Subordinated Debt, and each of the foregoing, except as noted above, without Agent’s prior written consent. 7.10 No Investment Company; Margin Regulation.

If there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that results in a Material Adverse Effect as determined by Agent or Required Lenders in their reasonable credit judgment. 8.4 Defective Perfection. If Agent shall receive at any time following the Closing Date an SOS Report indicating that Agent’s security interest in the Collateral is not prior to all other security interests or Liens of record reflected in the report other than as a result of Agent’s failure to file or maintain its Lien or Permitted Liens securing Permitted Indebtedness or other obligations that is permitted hereunder to be prior to Agent’s security interest pursuant to Section 4.1. 8.5 Attachment. If any material portion of any Loan Party’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within thirty (30) days, or if any Loan Party is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of any Loan Party’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any of any Loan Party’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within thirty (30) days after such Loan Party receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event

 

29 of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by such Loan Party (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period). 8.6 Insolvency. If the Loan Parties, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis, become insolvent, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by any Loan Party, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against any Loan Party and is not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding). 8.7 Other Agreements.

If any material misrepresentation or material misstatement when made or deemed made exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth herein or in any certificate delivered to Agent by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Lenders to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 8.11 Guaranty.

A Change in Control shall occur. 9. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction Required Lenders, shall, at their election, without notice of their election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by the Loan Parties: (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6 (Insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Agent or Lenders); (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lenders; (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Agent reasonably considers advisable; (d) Make such payments and do such acts as Agent or Required Lenders consider necessary or reasonable to protect the Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Lenders) in the Collateral. The Loan Parties agree to assemble the Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Agent as Agent may designate in a location reasonably convenient to Agent. The Loan Parties authorize Agent to peaceably enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Agent’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of 31 the Loan Parties’ owned premises, such Loan Party hereby grants Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; (e) Set-off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Loan Party held by Agent or any Lender, and (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party held by Agent or any Lender; (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use solely following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge, any Loan Party’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, any Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Agent’s benefit; (g) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice, sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including any Loan Party’s premises) as are commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Agent deems appropriate. Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Agent, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of such sale; (h) Agent and/or any Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; (i) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and (j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Agent and Lenders may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 32 9.2 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as its true and lawful attorney to: (a) in consultation with Borrower, send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Agent’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Loan Party’s, as applicable, name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Agent’s possession; (c) sign such Loan Party’s name, as applicable, on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to any Loan Party’s policies of insurance; (f) 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 (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of any Loan Party; provided Agent may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of any Loan Party, as applicable, on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Agent as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) have been fully repaid and performed and Agent’s and each Lender’s obligation to provide Advances hereunder is terminated. 9.3 Accounts Collection. In consultation with Borrower, Agent may notify any Person owing funds to any Loan Party of Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account and direct that any payments with respect thereto be deposited directly into the Collection Account, if and to the extent not already so deposited pursuant to the instructions provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.4. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Agent, receive in trust all payments as Agent’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit. 9.4 Lender Expenses. If any Loan Party fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Agent may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Agent deems necessary to protect Lenders from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.4 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent reasonably deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Agent shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver of any Event of Default under this Agreement. 9.5 Liability for Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by the Loan Parties, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment on the part of the Agent.

 

33 9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Neither Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Agent may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Agent’s or Lenders’ rights against any Loan Party. Each Loan Party waives any right it may have to require Agent or any Lender to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations. 9.7 Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Agent and Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Agent of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Agent of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Agent shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Agent shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Agent and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Loan Party expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Agent by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise. 9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations. 10. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first- class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail to any Loan Party or to Agent, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below: If to any Loan Party: Cue Health Inc. 4980 Carroll Canyon Rd., Suite 100 San Diego, CA 92121 Attn: John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer Email: ***@*** With an optional but not legally required copy to each of: Cue Health, Inc. 4980 Carroll Canyon Rd., Suite 100 San Diego, CA 92121 Attn: Aasim Javid Email: a ***@*** Cue Health, Inc. 4980 Carroll Canyon Road, Suite 100 34 San Diego, CA 92121 Attn: Erica Palsis and Joshua Bergmann Email: ***@*** If to Agent: East West Bank 9378 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 100 Beverly Hills, CA 90212 Attn: Maytal Shainberg Email: ***@*** The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other. 11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Los Angeles County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Agent or Lenders from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agent and/or Lenders. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. IF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IF PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, if the waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, who shall be a retired state or federal court 35 judge, mutually selected by the parties or, if they cannot agree, then any party may seek to have a private judge appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 and 640 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts). The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.

37 12.6 Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments, modifications, waivers and consents to or terminations of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, must be in writing signed by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders, and such additional Lenders as set forth below. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. (a) Lender Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall: (i) extend or increase any commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3 or the waiver of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any commitment of any Lender); (ii) reduce or forgive the principal of, or rate of interest specified herein on, any Advance or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (x) to amend the default rate set forth in Section 2.3(b) or to waive the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate or (y) to amend any financial covenant (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Advance or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder); (iii) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Advance, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (iv) change any provision of this Section or the percentage in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; (v) affect the rights or duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document of the Agent, unless in writing executed by the Agent, in each case in addition to the Borrower and the Lenders required above; or (vi) change or amend Section 12.11, Section 12.12 or any other provision of this Agreement providing for pro rata treatment of Lenders, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) release any Guarantor from its obligation under its guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender; 38 (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents) without the written consent of each Lender; (ix) subordinate the Obligations or the Liens granted under the Loan Documents, to any other Indebtedness or Liens, without the written consent of each Lender; (x) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.1 without the written consent of the Agent and each L/C Issuer; (xi) change any component of the definition of Eligible Accounts to increase eligibility thereunder without the consent of Required Lenders; or (xii) change or amend Section 6.7(b) without the written consent of Required Lenders. (b) In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if the Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Agent within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. (c) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Agent may upon notice to such Lender, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee permitted hereunder that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received, as applicable, payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee or the Borrower, as applicable; and (ii) the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 12.7 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate 39 counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement or Loan Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” (delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement and/or any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. As used herein, “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original hereof or thereof. 12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations and other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) remain outstanding or Lenders have any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Lenders have run. 12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Agent and Lenders and all employees and agents of Agent and Lenders shall exercise the same degree of care that each Lender exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) on a need to know basis to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Lenders in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower and who agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.9, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans provided they have entered into a confidentiality agreement with terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Lender, (v) on a need to know basis to Lenders’ accountants, auditors and regulators and who in the case of accountants and auditors have a duty of confidentiality with respect to such information or agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.9, and (vi) as Lender may reasonably determine necessary in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Lender when disclosed to Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Lender through no fault of Lender; or (b) is disclosed to Lender by a third party, provided Lender does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. 40 12.10 Reserved. 12.11 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the acceleration of the principal amount of any of the Revolving Loans, all payments and proceeds in respect of any of the Obligations received by the Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document, including any proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to the Agent and/or each L/C Issuer with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any other Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now and hereafter in effect, or any successor statute, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations, including to cash collateralize existing obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in compliance with this Agreement, fifth, to the Obligations owing to any counterparty in respect of any Lender Hedging Agreement; sixth, to any other Obligations owing to the Agent or any other Lender under the Loan Documents; and seventh, to the Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (b) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. 12.12 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time exercise any set-off right or receive any payment of all or part of its Revolving Loans, or its participations in Letters of Credit, or interest thereon, or fees, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Revolving Loans, its participation in Letters of Credit, or interest thereon, or fees, such benefitted

 

41 Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Revolving Loans or fees, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or its participation in Letters of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt but subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.12(a), any Lender shall have the right (without further consent of the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender), exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof or bank controlling such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agent provided by law, the Agent shall have the right (without further consent of the Borrower or any other Lender), exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Agent or any branch or agency thereof or bank controlling the Agent to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. 12.13 Taxes. (a) All sums payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall, except to the extent required by applicable law, be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Taxes. If any Loan Party or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) is (in such withholding agent’s reasonable good faith discretion) required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender (which term for purposes of this Section 12.13 shall include any L/C Issuer and any assignee of a Lender, L/C Issuer) under any of the Loan Documents: (i) such Loan Party or other withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding; (ii) if a Loan Party is the applicable withholding agent, the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay any such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; and (iii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party in 42 respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction, withholding or payment, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made. (b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by this Section 12.13 to pay, if a Loan Party is the applicable withholding agent, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority. (d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.13) payable or paid by the Agent or any such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates arising in connection with payments made under any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, prepared in reasonable detail shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any such certificate must be provided within six (6) months of incurrence of such tax liability by the Agent or Lender. (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Loan Party to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (c). (f) The Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the 43 expiration of the Letters of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations. 12.14 Certain Laws and Regulations. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower shall, promptly following a request by Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti- money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. For legal entity borrowers, Lender or Agent will require the legal entity to provide identifying information about each beneficial owner and/or individuals who have significant responsibility to control, manage or direct the legal entity. 12.15 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any Resolution Authority.

45 suspend any obligation in respect of that liability or any of the powers under that Bail-In Legislation that are related to or ancillary to any of those powers. 12.16 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any swap obligation or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 12.16, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 46 “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 13.

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything else herein: (a) Each Lender hereby appoints Agent (together with any successor Agent) as agent hereunder 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 incidental thereto. (b) Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the other Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents, and each Person making any payment in connection with any Loan Document to any Lender is hereby authorized to make such payment to Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of Lenders with respect to any Obligation in any Insolvency Proceeding or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Person), (iii) act as collateral agent for each Lender for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise and (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Loan Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent, Lenders for purposes of the perfection of Liens with respect to any deposit account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct 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. (c) Under the Loan Documents, Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of 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 47 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. 13.2 Binding Effect. Each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and (ii) the exercise by Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders. 13.3 Use of Discretion.
