First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 15, 2021, by and among the Registrant, Combangio, Inc. and Oxford Finance LLC, as collateral agent and lender

Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

Consent.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Collateral Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the formation by Existing Borrower of the Transitory Subsidiary for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, without joining the Transitory Subsidiary as a co-Borrower or guarantor as required by Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement; provided, however, the Transitory Subsidiary shall merge with the New Borrower as part of the Merger and the Transitory Subsidiary shall not be the surviving entity after the consummation of the Merger; provided, further, at no time shall the Transitory Subsidiary hold any assets.

The consent set forth above is effective for the purposes set forth herein and shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or condition of any Loan Document, or (b) otherwise prejudice any right or remedy which Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with any Loan Document.

Joinder.

New Borrower.  New Borrower hereby is added as a “Borrower” under the Loan Agreement.  All references in the Agreement to “Borrower” shall hereafter mean and include the Existing Borrower and New Borrower, individually and collectively, jointly and severally; and New Borrower shall hereafter have all rights, duties and obligations of “Borrower” thereunder.

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

Subrogation and Similar Rights.  Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law and (b) any right to require Collateral Agent or any Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Collateral Agent and any Lender may each exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents or any related documents, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and at such time as each Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Collateral Agent and/or Lenders under this Amendment and the Loan Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Amendment, the Loan Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Amendment, the Loan Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this section shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Grant of Security Interest.  To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, New Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of New Borrower’s now existing or hereafter arising rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located.  New Borrower further covenants and agrees that by its execution hereof it shall provide all such information, complete all such forms, and take all such actions, and enter into all such agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and each Lender that are reasonably deemed necessary by Collateral Agent or any Lender in order to grant a valid, perfected first priority security interest to Collateral Agent,

Representations and Warranties.  New Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and each Lender that all representations and warranties in the Loan Documents made on the part of “Borrower” are true and correct on the date hereof (as updated by the Perfection Certificate covering New Borrower delivered to Oxford on or around the date of this Amendment) with respect to New Borrower, with the same force and effect as if New Borrower were named as “Borrower” in the Loan Documents in addition to Existing Borrower.

The following Section 12.13 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement:

Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions thereto in alphabetical order:

Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the following definitions therein as follows:

Exhibit D to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

The Perfection Certificate delivered on the Effective Date of the Loan Agreement is hereby updated by the Perfection Certificates delivered to Collateral Agent on the date of this Amendment.

Limitation of Amendment.

The amendments and consents set above are effective for the purposes set forth herein and shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or condition of any Loan Document, or (b) otherwise prejudice any right, remedy or obligation which Lenders or Borrower may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with any Loan Document, as amended hereby.

This Amendment shall be construed in connection with and as part of the Loan Documents and all terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents, except as herein amended, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Amendment shall be considered part of the Loan Documents.

To induce Collateral Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and Lenders as follows:

This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and is the binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium or other similar laws of general application and equitable principles relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without alteration or amendment.  This Amendment and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.

This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
