Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On April 30, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), NextGen Pro, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NextGen Pro”), RMBL Missouri, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMBL Missouri”) and RMBL Texas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMBL Texas," and together with the Company, NextGen Pro, and RMBL Missouri, each, a “Borrower”, and collectively, “Borrowers”) , entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Hercules Capital, Inc. a Maryland Corporation ("Hercules") and other financial institutions or entities that may thereafter from time to time become parties thereto (collectively, “Lender”) and Hercules in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for Lender (in such capacity, “Agent”), pursuant to which Lender may provide one or more term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million (the "Loan"). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, $5.0 million will be funded at closing with the balance available in three additional tranches over the term of the Loan Agreement, subject to certain operating targets and otherwise as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan has an initial 36-month maturity and initial 10.5% interest rate.
 
Under the Loan Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase 81,818 (increasing to 109,091 if the fourth tranche is advanced) shares of the Company’s Class B common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on April 30, 2023. The Company agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares underlying the Warrant no later than 90 days after issuance. The warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation D thereunder, as a sale not involving any public offering.
 
Advances under the Loan ("Advances") will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either (i) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.75%, and (ii) 10.25%, based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed. Advances under the Loan Agreement are due and payable on May 1, 2021, unless Borrowers achieve certain performance milestones, in which case Advances will be due and payable on November 1, 2021.
 
Upon any event of default, the Agent may, at its option, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to Lender by Borrowers.
 
 The Loan is secured by a grant of a security interest in all assets (the “Collateral”) of the Borrowers, except that the Collateral should not include (a) more than 65% of the presently existing and later arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by any Borrower of any foreign subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter and (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts.
 
In connection with the Loan Agreement, Borrowers and Agent each entered into (i) a Subordination Agreement (the "Halcyon Subordination Agreement"), effective April 30, 2018, with Halcyon Consulting, LLC ("Halcyon"), and (ii) a Subordination Agreement (the “Noteholder Subordination Agreement”), effective April 30, 2018, with certain noteholders of the Company (the “Note Holders”). In addition, the Borrowers have acknowledged and approved an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), effective April 30, 2018, by and between Agent and Ally Bank and Ally Financial Inc. (the “Ally Parties”).
 
Under the terms of the Halcyon Subordination Agreement, (i) all of each Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Halcyon, whether existing or arising in the future, is and shall be subordinated to all of Borrowers’ indebtedness and obligations to Agent and Lender, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, and (ii) all of Halcyon’s security interests, if any, in each Borrower’s property is and shall be subordinated to all of Agent’s security interests in Borrowers’ property, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
 
Under the terms of the Noteholder Subordination Agreement, (i) all of each Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Note Holders, whether existing or arising in the future, is and shall be subordinated to all of Borrowers’ indebtedness and obligations to Agent and Lender, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, and (ii) all of each Note Holder’s security interests, if any, in each Borrower’s property is and shall be subordinated to all of Agent’s security interests in Borrowers’ property, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
 
The Intercreditor Agreement specifies the priority of, and the time and method by which Hercules and the Ally Parties may enforce, their respective security interests in the Collateral.
   
In conjunction with the security interest granted under the Loan Agreement, the Company’s obligations are further secured, pursuant to the terms of an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, NextGen Pro and the Agent, by a security interest in all now owned or hereafter acquired intellectual property of the Company and NextGen Pro, except to the extent such intellectual property cannot be assigned or the creation of a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law or contract.

2.   Exercise of Warrant .
 
a.   The Holder or its assignee may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by completing the subscription form attached hereto and surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 14, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price, as specified in the subscription form, or as otherwise provided in this Warrant, prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time on the Expiration Date. Payment of the purchase price may be made (i) in cash or certified check or by bank draft in lawful money of the United States of America or (ii) in accordance with the net issuance formula below (“ Net Issuance ”).
 
If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment, then the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise such number of shares of Class B Common Stock determined in accordance with the following formula:
 
  X= Y(A-B)
A
 
Where X = the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
 
Y = the number of shares of Class B Common Stock with respect to which the Holder is exercising its rights under this Warrant;
 
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Class B Common Stock on the date of exercise; and
 
B = the Warrant Price.
 
For purposes of the above calculation, “ fair market value ” shall mean:
 
(i) 
if the Class B Common Stock is listed or traded on the NASDAQ stock market or any United States securities exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ (including the OTC Bulletin Board), the twenty day volume weighted average trading price for the twenty Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day prior to the date of exercise; or
 
(ii) 
if at any time the Class B Common Stock is not listed or traded on any United States stock exchange or quoted on any securities quotation service operated by NASDAQ, the fair market value determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved in good faith by the Holder. In the event that the Holder does not accept the valuation determined by the board of directors of the Company, then the Company and the Holder shall, in good faith, select an independent valuation firm mutually acceptable to each of them to conduct a valuation of the price of a Warrant Share. The Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to receive the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable to it upon exercise of this Warrant calculated using the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon the determination of the independent valuation firm, the Company and the Holder will make adjustments to the issuance of Class B Common Stock based on the determination of such independent valuation firm. The determination of such independent valuation firm shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as between the Company and the Holder for purposes herein. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the engagement of the independent valuation firm; provided that a valuation is not required more than once in any given twelve (12) consecutive month period. If at any time there will be more than one Holder, then any determination of the fair market value, made with respect to a Holder, shall apply to all the Holders, unless any party proves that a material change in the valuation of the Company has occurred since the valuation was determined.

b.   This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional shares of Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
 
c.   No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Class B Common Stock (which, for purposes of this Section 2(c), shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Class B Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.
 
3.   Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant .
 
a.   The Holder hereby acknowledges that (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (A) under the Act on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering and (ii) the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that it is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) (A) familiar with the business and affairs of the Company and (B) knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters to the extent that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and (iii) acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same such that Holder may be deemed an “underwriter” as such term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
b.   Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the immediately following sentence, and if such intended transferee is not an affiliate of the Holder and the intended transferee provides a duly executed written confirmation that the representations and warranties in Section 3(a) of this Warrant are true and correct as to such intended transferee, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and, if requested by the Company in writing, furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable subject to the transfer restrictions provided for herein, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, shall be the Holder as referred to in this Warrant.
 
The proper transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded in the registry referred to in Section 9(c) upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “ Transfer Notice ”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

c.   If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no Registration Statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:
 
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”
 
In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.
 
4.   Reservation of Shares . The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company as of the issue date of this Warrant is as set forth on Schedule A hereto. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Class B Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant and shall at all times have a sufficient number of authorized shares so as to permit the issuance of the shares of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
5.   Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
 
6.   Delivery of Stock Certificate Upon Exercise . Within the third day after the Notice of Exercise is delivered pursuant to this Warrant (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) and payment of the Warrant Price (which payment shall be deemed to have occurred when the funds are immediately available to the Company), if applicable, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon exercise (and in the case of partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the Expiration Date set forth herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or Holder’s designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with the full payment of the Warrant Price, is received by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in good faith by the Company. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Class B Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. In addition, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Class B Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Class B Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Class B Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Class B Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

7.   Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares . The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
 
a.   Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession . If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
 
b.   Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(i).
 
c.   Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 7(d)(ii).
 
d.   Anti-Dilution .
 
(i)   If, at any time during the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, (A) the Company shall make a New Issuance for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such New Issuance (a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) or (B) the total consideration paid (including exercise price of any option, right or warrant to subscribe for any class of shares of the Company or the conversion price of any security convertible into or exchangeable for any class of shares of the Company) (other than an option, right or warrant that is an Excluded Security) is when issued or is later adjusted downward to a price that is less than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such downward adjustment (such lower consideration price or adjusted exercise price or conversion price, the “ New Issuance Price ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance or downward adjustment of such exercise price or conversion price, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of this Warrant, if a part or all of the consideration received by the Company in connection with a New Issuance consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be deemed to have a fair market value as defined in Section 2(a) above.
 
(ii)   If, at any time after the one-year period commencing on the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company makes a Dilutive Issuance, then, upon such issuance, the Warrant Price shall be reduced to equal the amount computed using the following formula:
 
A * [(C + D)/B]
 
where:
 
A   =   the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
B   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis);
 
 
7
 
 
C   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the New Issuance (calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis); and
D  =  the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable for the total consideration to be received for the New Issuance if the purchaser paid the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issuance.
 
(iii)   Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 7, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
 
e.   Certain Shares Excluded . The number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 7 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.
 
f.   No Impairment . The Company will not, in any way whatsoever, including by amendment of the Articles, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, or impair the economic interest of the Holder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions hereof and in the taking of all such actions and making of all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights and economic interests of the Holder against impairment.

f.   Indemnity . To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify the Holder and each person controlling the Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Section 10, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 10(f)(iii) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Act applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Holder and each person controlling the Holder, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided further that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Warrant respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) or in the prospectus subject to completion under Rule 434 of the Act, which together meet the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act (the “ Final Prospectus ”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Holder or any such controlling person, if a copy of the Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage.
 
 
12
 
 
(i)   The Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 10(f)(iii) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not made available to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such claims, losses, damages and liabilities (and actions in respect thereof).
 
(ii)   Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 10(f) (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense; provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Warrant, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnified Party consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
 
(iii)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10(f) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (iv) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (or actions in respect thereof) less all other amounts paid as damages in respect thereto.
 
g.   Additional Covenants and Agreements of the Holder . The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holder, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 10(a) until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
 
(i)   The Holder shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 10(a) during no more than 90 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) during any 12-month period to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Act or Exchange Act.
 
(ii)   As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution proposed by the Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing, including completing a Registration Statement questionnaire in the form provided by the Company, or as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Section 10.
 
(iii)   The Holder hereby covenants with the Company (A) not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Act to be satisfied, and (B) if such Registrable Securities are to be sold by any method or in any transaction other than on a national securities exchange, Nasdaq or in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods, to notify the Company at least five Business Days prior to the date on which the Holder first offers to sell any such Registrable Securities.
 
(iv)   The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing such Registrable Securities is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (A) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with such Registration Statement and (B) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.
 
(v)   The Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement that would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

At its option, upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with the applicable prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the Advance amount being prepaid: with respect to amounts prepaid on or prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, 3.0%; after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, through the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0%; and after the two year anniversary of the Closing Date through the date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the then current Term Loan Maturity Date, 1.0% (each, a “ Prepayment Charge ”), provided that if the Secured Obligations are prepaid from the proceeds of the issuance of Indebtedness, Borrowers shall afford Agent the opportunity to provide a term sheet to refinance the Secured Obligations (but no Borrower shall be required to enter into a refinancing transaction with Agent or any Lender even if on substantially similar terms as the proposed issuance). Borrowers agree that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances. Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and the Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
 
2.5   End of Term Charge. On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrowers prepay the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) in full, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations otherwise become due and payable, Borrowers shall pay Lender a charge of 4.55% of the Growth Capital Term Commitment pursuant to Tranche I and Tranche II, 2.95% of the Growth Capital Term Commitment pursuant to Tranche III, and 2.35% of any principal amount paid or prepaid in respect of Tranche IV. Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date with regard to Tranche I, Tranche II and Tranche III, and on the applicable Advance Date with regards to Tranche IV.
 
2.6   Due Diligence Fee. The Due Diligence Fee has been paid by Borrowers prior to the Closing Date.
 
2.7   Notes. If so requested by Lender by written notice to Borrower Representative, then Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.13 ) (promptly after Borrower Representative’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence Lender’s Loans.
 
2.8   Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Growth Capital Term Loan Advances shall be made pro rata according to the Growth Capital Term Commitments of the relevant Lender. Lender has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments then due and payable with respect to the Secured Obligations may be applied. No Borrower shall have a right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments made by a Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement.
 
2.9   Withholding. Payments received by Agent or Lender from any Borrower under any Loan Document will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any governmental authority (“ Taxes ”) other than Excluded Taxes. Specifically, however, if at any time any governmental authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires any Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Agent or Lender, authority other than Excluded Taxes such payment or other sum payable hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Agent or Lender, as applicable receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and the applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant governmental authority. The applicable Borrower will, upon request, furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent indicating that such Borrower has made such withholding payment. The agreements and obligations of Borrowers contained in this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Agent and Lender will  use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate  with Borrowers to minimize any withholding taxes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including by providing a properly completed and duly executed Form  W-9  or applicable Form W-8,  provided such cooperation does not subject Agent or Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to Lender or Agent .

3.3   Pledge of Shares. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Agent a security interest in the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Secured Obligations. Borrowers represent and warrant that as of the Closing Date, none of the Shares are evidenced by certificates.

All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. If any Shares not evidenced by certificates as of the Closing Date subsequently become evidenced by certificates, or if a Borrower subsequently acquires any Shares evidenced by certificates, such Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent the certificates evidencing the Shares together with a stock power or other similar instrument of transfer duly executed in blank by such Borrower to be held by Agent as possessory collateral.

11.3   Entire Agreement; Amendments.
 
(a)   This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Agent’s proposal letter dated March 7, 2018 a nd the Non-Disclosure Agreement).
 
(b)   Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3(b) . The Required Lenders and Borrowers party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Agent and Borrowers party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lender or of Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Growth Capital Term Loan Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.3(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrowers of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a Borrower (other than a Borrower that has no material operations) from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.17 without the written consent of Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lender, Agent and all future holders of the Loans.
 
 
34
 
 
11.4   No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
 
11.5   No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrowers at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent to enforce such provisions thereafter.
 
11.6   Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
11.7   Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). No Borrower shall assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Agent and Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrowers, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and Lender’s successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrowers (as reasonably determined by Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer to an Affiliate of any Lender or Agent shall be allowed.
 
11.8   Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Agent and Lender in the State of California. Payment to Agent and Lender by Borrowers of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
 
11.9   Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2 , and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2 . Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
 
 
35
 
 
11.10   Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.
 
(a)   Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWERS, AGENT AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “ CLAIMS ”) ASSERTED BY BORROWERS AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST A BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrowers and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrowers, Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.
 
(b)   If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.
 
(c)   In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.9 , any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
 
11.11   Professional Fees. Each Borrower promises to pay Agent’s fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, each Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys’ and other reasonable out of pocket professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to a Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to a Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of a Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
 
 
36
 
 
11.12   Confidentiality. Agent and Lender acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lender by a Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrowers, if and to the extent such information either (i) is marked as confidential by such Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (ii) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “ Confidential Information ”). Accordingly, Agent and Lender agree that any Confidential Information it has obtained and may obtain in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrowers, except that Agent and Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its Affiliates if Agent or Lender in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of any Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Agent and Lender are aware of their obligations with respect to material non-public Confidential Information of a publicly traded company and both Agent and Lender agree on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates that they will not engage in transactions in or relating to the securities of the Parent while in possession of material non-public Confidential Information. Agent’s and Lender’s obligations under this Section 11.12 shall supersede all of their respective obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
 
11.13   Assignment of Rights. Each Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lender may, subject to Section 11.7 , sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “ Assignee ”). After such assignment the term “ Agent ” or “ Lender ” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lender shall relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s)(if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
 
11.14   Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if any Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of any Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or Lender in Cash.
 
 
37
 
 
11.15   Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
 
11.16   No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than Agent, Lender and Borrowers unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely among Agent, Lender and Borrowers.
 
11.17   Agency.
 
(a)   Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Hercules Capital, Inc. to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
 
(b)   Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to its respective Growth Capital Term Commitment percentages (based upon the total outstanding Growth Capital Term Commitments) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.17 , from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
(c)   Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
 
(d)   Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not:
 
(i)
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(ii)
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Lender, provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
 
(iii)
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
 
 
38
 
 
(e)   Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Lender or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(f)   Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.
 
(g)   Reliance by Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, or refraining to act, upon, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Agent and conforming to the requirements of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by Agent hereunder or under any Loan Documents in accordance therewith. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of Lenders unless Agent shall have been provided by Lender with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
 
11.18   Publicity. None of the parties hereto nor any of its respective member businesses and Affiliates shall, without the other parties’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), publicize or use (a) the other party’s name (including a brief description of the relationship among the parties hereto), logo or hyperlink to such other parties’ web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the “ Publicity Materials ”); (b) the names of officers of such other parties in the Publicity Materials; and (c) such other parties’ name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news or press release concerning such party; provided however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such consent shall be required (i) to the extent necessary or customary to comply with the requests of any regulators, legal requirements or laws applicable to such party (including all disclosure requirements of the Parent pursuant to the securities laws), or pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange and (ii) to comply with Section 11.12 .
 
11.19   Multiple Borrowers.
 
(a)   Borrowers’ Agent. Each of Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints Borrower Representative as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including requesting disbursement of the Growth Capital Term Loan Advance and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent or any Lender. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for the Growth Capital Term Loan Advance, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Representative, whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Borrowers, and Agent shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ obligations hereunder be affected thereby.
 
 
39
 
 
(b)   Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) any right to require Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Borrower or any other Person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with Agent or any Indebtedness of Agent or any Lender to any other Borrower, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy Agent or any Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than performance) of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person (other than because of performance), with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any other Person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full, nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Secured Obligations. If any claim is ever made upon Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent in payment of or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Borrower), then and in any such event, each Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Borrower shall be and remain liable to Agent and Lender under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Until payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than obligations that survive the termination of the Loan Documents) each Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which a Borrower may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Borrower or other Person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Borrower may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.
 
 
40
 
 
(c)   Consents. Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of such Borrower hereunder, Agent may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Borrower or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Secured Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Secured Obligations, or on which Agent at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Borrowers or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of such Borrower; (v) apply any sums received from any other Borrower, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to any Indebtedness whatsoever owing from such Person or secured by such Collateral or security, in such manner and order as Agent determines in its sole discretion (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is part of the Secured Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. Each Borrower further consents and agrees that Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.
 
(d)   Independent Liability. Each Borrower hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Borrower, in the same action in which any other Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by Agent. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Borrower and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Borrower is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Borrower may desire, and such Borrower is not relying upon or expecting Agent to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in Agent’s possession concerning the same or any other matter.
 
(e)   Subordination. All Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Secured Obligations and any Borrower holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

FORM OF JOINDER AGREEMENT
 
This Joinder Agreement (the “ Joinder Agreement ”) is made and dated as of [   ], and is entered into by and between__________________, a ___________ corporation (“ Subsidiary ”), and HERCULES CAPITAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (as “ Agent ”).
 
RECITALS
 
A.   Subsidiary’s Affiliate, RumbleON, Inc. (“ Company ”) [has entered/desires to enter] into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 30, 2018, with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lender (collectively, the “ Lender ”) and Agent, as such agreement may be amended (the “ Loan Agreement ”), together with the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith;
 
B.   Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that it will benefit both directly and indirectly from Company’s execution of the Loan Agreement and the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith;
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW THEREFORE, Subsidiary and Agent agree as follows:
 
1.
The recitals set forth above are incorporated into and made part of this Joinder Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
2.
By signing this Joinder Agreement, Subsidiary shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement the same as if it were a Borrower (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Agreement, mutatis mutandis, provided however, that (a) with respect to (i) Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement, Subsidiary represents that it is an entity duly organized, legally existing and in good standing under the laws of [____________], (b) neither Agent nor Lender shall have any duties, responsibilities or obligations to Subsidiary arising under or related to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (c) that if Subsidiary is covered by Company’s insurance, Subsidiary shall not be required to maintain separate insurance or comply with the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Loan Agreement, and (d) that as long as Company satisfies the requirements of Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, Subsidiary shall not have to provide Agent separate Financial Statements. To the extent that Agent or Lender has any duties, responsibilities or obligations arising under or related to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, those duties, responsibilities or obligations shall flow only to Company and not to Subsidiary or any other Person or entity. By way of example (and not an exclusive list): (i) Agent’s providing notice to Company in accordance with the Loan Agreement or as otherwise agreed among Company, Agent and Lender shall be deemed provided to Subsidiary; (ii) a Lender’s providing an Advance to Company shall be deemed an Advance to Subsidiary; and (iii) Subsidiary shall have no right to request an Advance or make any other demand on Lender.
 
3.
Subsidiary agrees not to certificate its equity securities without Agent’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned on the delivery of such equity securities to Agent in order to perfect Agent’s security interest in such equity securities.
 
4.
Subsidiary acknowledges that it benefits, both directly and indirectly, from the Loan Agreement, and hereby waives, for itself and on behalf on any and all successors in interest (including without limitation any assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, bankruptcy trustee or itself as debtor-in-possession under any bankruptcy proceeding) to the fullest extent provided by law, any and all claims, rights or defenses to the enforcement of this Joinder Agreement on the basis that (a) it failed to receive adequate consideration for the execution and delivery of this Joinder Agreement or (b) its obligations under this Joinder Agreement are avoidable as a fraudulent conveyance.
 
5.
As security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Subsidiary grants to Agent a security interest in all of Subsidiary’s right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral.

1.   Creditor subordinates to Agent any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of each Borrower. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of Creditor and the security interest of Agent, the security interest of Agent in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall at all times be prior to the security interest of Creditor.

2.   Except as expressly set forth in Section 3, all Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of each Borrower to Agent and Lender now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against each Borrower of any Bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the Loan Agreement (the “ Senior Debt ”).
 
 
1
 
 
 
3.   Creditor will not demand or receive from any Borrower (and no Borrower will pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against any Borrower, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creditor shall be permitted to receive, and Borrowers shall be permitted to pay, the following payments:
 
(a)
If an Advance has been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, regularly scheduled payments as set forth in the Subordinated Note in the form attached hereto, but only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such payment and no Event of Default would result from such payment.
 
(b)
If no Advance has been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, (a) regularly scheduled payments of interest as set forth in the Subordinated Note in the form attached hereto, but only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such payment and no Event of Default would result from such payment, and (b) regularly scheduled payments of principal as set forth in the Subordinated Note in the form attached hereto, but only if (i) after giving pro forma effect to such payment, Borrowers would have cash in Deposit Accounts or Investment Accounts subject to Account Control Agreements (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) in favor of Agent in an amount not less than $7,500,000, on a consolidated basis, or (ii) as of the end of the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements were required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Parent maintained Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the twelve month period ended as of such date, of not less than $2,000,000.
 
4.   Creditor shall promptly deliver to Agent in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Agent) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
 
5.   In the event of any Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Agent’s and Lender’s claims against such Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor.
 
6.   For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor irrevocably appoints Agent as Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to Agent a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Agent, for the use and benefit of Agent, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Agent’s option the following acts in any Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving a Borrower
 
a.
To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; or
 
b.
To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of such Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Agent deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
 
 
2
 
 
7.   In the event of a Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding, arrangement or transaction under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or similar laws or proceedings involving a Borrower, for so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, if Agent, Lender or any of them shall seek to provide any Borrower or any of their subsidiaries with any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code , or Agent or Lender support or consent to such financing provided by a third party, or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a “ DIP Financing ” or “ Cash Collateral Use ”), with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign laws relating to the relief of debtors) would be Collateral), then Creditor agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support, directly or indirectly, any objection to such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use nor object to the liens or claims granted in connection therewith on any grounds, including a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the liens, if any, securing any Subordinated Debt (and will not request any adequate protection as a result of such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use, and will not support any debtor-in-possession financing or Cash Collateral Use which would compete with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use which is provided to or consented to by Agent or Lender). In addition, Creditor agrees that it will not provide nor seek to provide or support any debtor-in-possession financing without the prior written consent of Agent.
 
8.   Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of a Borrower. In addition, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. Creditor represents and warrants that a true copy of the Subordinated Note, as in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit A hereto, and that neither the Subordinated Note, nor any of the Subordinated Note Documents have been assigned to any other person (it being understood that a security interest in the Subordinated Note has been granted to Cycle Express, LLC).
 
9.   This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Agent or Lender has any obligation to make credit extensions to a Borrower or any Borrower owes any amounts to Agent or Lender under the Loan Agreement or otherwise. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Agent or Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy of a Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Agent all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditor, Agent or Lender may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Agent and Lender, respectively, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to a Borrower, increasing the principal amount (which may include any DIP Financing), extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against a Borrower or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Agent’s or Lender’s rights hereunder.
 
10.   This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Agent. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditor, Agent and Lender and not for the benefit of any Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if a Borrower is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Agent makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
11.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
 
12.   This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT
 
 
 
THIS UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT (the "Guaranty") is made as of the 8th day of February, 2017, by NEXTGEN PRO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Guarantor") to and for the benefit of NEXTGEN DELAER SOLUTIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Lender").
 
 
R E C I T A L S
 
A.           Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement executed on January 8, 2017 by and among the Lender, Smart Server, Inc. (“Borrower”), Halcyon Consulting, LLC (“Halcyon”) and certain other parties signatory thereto, the Lender agreed to sell and the Borrower agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Lender (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).
 
B.           One Million Three Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars ($1,333,333.00) of the purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement is to be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subordinated Secured Confessed Judgment Promissory Note of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of the Lender (the "Note").
 
C.           On the date hereof, Borrower assigned its rights, but not obligations, under the Asset Purchase Agreement to the Guarantor.
 
D.           As a condition precedent to the Lender’s agreement to close under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty pursuant to which the Guarantor will guarantee to the Lender (the "Beneficiary") the full payment and performance of all of the Borrower's obligations under the Note.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees as follows:
 
1.            Guaranty. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiary and its respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment to the Beneficiary when due of all amounts of every kind due to the Beneficiary from the Borrower pursuant to the Note, and the full and prompt performance of all of the Borrower's obligations to the Beneficiary under the Note. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees that all sums due and owing under the Note shall be paid when and as due, whether by reason of installments, acceleration or otherwise, time being of the essence.
 
 
 
 
2.            Nature of the Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct, immediate and primary. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing absolute and unconditional guarantee irrespective of the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Note or any part thereof, or by the existence, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral therefor.
 
3.            Beneficiaries Need Not Pursue Rights Against Borrower, Any Guarantor, or Collateral. The Guarantor authorizes the Beneficiary without notice, demand or any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without affecting the Guarantor's obligations hereunder, from time to time, to resort to the Guarantor for payment of the amounts due and performance of the obligations under the Note or any part thereof, whether or not the Beneficiary shall have resorted to any collateral securing the Note or any part thereof or shall have proceeded against any other person principally or secondarily obligated with respect to the Note or any part thereof.
 
4.            Accuracy of Representations. The Guarantor warrants that all of the representations made by the Guarantor in connection with the Note and the transactions contemplated thereby are true and correct and not knowingly misleading and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Beneficiary from any loss or expense as a result of any representation or statement of the Guarantor or the Borrower being false, incorrect, or knowingly misleading
 
5.            Representations of the Guarantor. To induce the Beneficiary to accept this Guaranty for the purposes for which it is given, the Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary as follows:
 
A.            Organization . Guarantor is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business. Guarantor is duly qualified or authorized to do business as a foreign company and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, except to the extent the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on Guarantor.
 
B.            Non-Existence of Defaults, etc. The Guarantor is not in material default with respect to any of its existing indebtedness, and the making and performance of this Guaranty will not immediately, or with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, constitute a default under any existing indebtedness of Guarantor.
 
C.            Violation of Laws. In the conduct of its businesses and affairs, the Guarantor is not in violation of any applicable federal, state or local laws, the violation of which would cause a material adverse effect on the Guarantor.
 
D.            Capacity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action by or on behalf of Guarantor. The Guarantor has the legal capacity to execute and deliver this Guaranty as a valid obligation, which is binding and enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
 
 
 
E.            No Insolvency . There is no pending or threatened bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against the Guarantor.
 
6.            Security . As security for the prompt payment and complete performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor has executed and delivered to the Lender on the date hereof the Security Agreement (hereinafter defined in Section 9).
 
7.            Rights of Beneficiary to Deal With Borrower, Guarantor, and Collateral. The Beneficiary may, without compromising, impairing, diminishing, or in any way releasing the Guarantor from the Guarantor's obligations hereunder and without notifying or obtaining the prior approval of the Guarantor at any time or from time to time: (a) waive or excuse a default or defaults by the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, or a delay in the exercise by the Beneficiary of any or all of the Beneficiary's rights or remedies with respect to such default or defaults; (b) grant extensions of time for payment or performance by the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note; (c) release, substitute, exchange, surrender, or add collateral of the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, or waive, release or subordinate, in whole or in part, any lien or security interest held by the Beneficiary on any real or personal property securing payment or performance, in whole or in part, of the Borrower's obligations under the Note; (d) release the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part, any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note; (e) apply payments made by the Borrower, or by any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part, any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, to any sums owed by the Borrower to the Beneficiary, in any order, or manner, or to any specific account or accounts, as the Beneficiary may elect; or (f) modify, change, renew, extend, or amend, in any respect any of the provisions of the Note or this Guaranty.
 
8.            Waivers by the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives: (a) any and all notices whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or with respect to any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, including, but not limited to, notice of: (i) the Beneficiary's acceptance hereof or the Beneficiary's intention to act, or the Beneficiary's action, in reliance hereon; (ii) the present existence or future occurrence of an event of default of any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note or any terms or amounts thereof of any change therein; (iii) any default by the Borrower or any surety, pledgor, grantor of security, guarantor or other person who has guaranteed or secured in whole or in part the Borrower's obligations under the Note; and (iv) the obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement (in addition to this Guaranty), pledge, assignment, or other security for any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note; and (b) (i) presentment, protest and demand for payment of any sum due from the Borrower under the Note or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, including the Guarantor; (ii) notice of default by the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, including the Guarantor; (iii) demand for performance by the Borrower or any person who has guaranteed in whole or in part any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note.
 
 
 
 
9.            Events Authorizing Acceleration of Guaranty. In the event any of the following occur with respect to the Guarantor or, with respect to the Borrower (an "Event of Default"), the Beneficiary may, in the Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion, accelerate and call due as to the Guarantor all sums due from the Borrower: (a) Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning itself under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”); or an involuntary case is commenced against Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code, and the petition is not controverted within 30 days, or is not dismissed within 90 days, after commencement of the case; or a trustee or custodian is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or substantially all of the property of Guarantor, or Guarantor commences any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to Guarantor, or there is commenced against Guarantor any such proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of 90 days, or Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) any "Default" as defined under the Note or under the Security Agreement between the Guarantor and the Lender, dated the date hereof, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (the “Security Agreement”), or (c) a default by the Guarantor in payment or in performance of any of its obligations under this Guaranty.
 
10.            Confession of Judgment. UPON A DEFAULT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE GUARANTOR AUTHORIZES ANY ATTORNEY ADMITTED TO PRACTICE BEFORE ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING GLENN D.

THE AUTHORITY AND POWER TO APPEAR FOR AND ENTER JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED PURSUANT THERETO; SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER MAY BE EXERCISED ON ONE OR MORE OCCASIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, IN THE SAME OR DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS, AS OFTEN AS THE BENEFICIARY SHALL DEEM NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE UNTIL ALL SUMS DUE UNDER THE GUARANTY HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL .
 
11.            Collection Expenses. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) of the prevailing party in any action to enforce any rights under this Guaranty, shall be borne and paid by the non-prevailing party.
 
12.            Subordination of Certain Indebtedness . If the Guarantor shall advance any sums to Borrower or its successors or assigns or if the Borrower or its successors or assigns shall hereafter become indebted to the Guarantor, such sums and indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the amounts then or thereafter due and owing to the Beneficiary. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to give the Guarantor any right of subrogation in and to any obligations of the Borrower to the Beneficiary, or in any of the collateral therefor, or all or any part of the Beneficiary's interest therein.
 
 
 
 
13.            Invalidity of Any Part. If any provision or part of any provision of this Guaranty shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or the remaining part of any effective provisions of this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or part thereof had never been contained herein, but only to the extent of its invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability.

When Debtor is in default, Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party, shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place reasonably convenient to both parties.

7.               Satisfaction of Liens . If Secured Party disposes of the Collateral following default, the proceeds of such disposition shall be applied first to the Note secured by the Guaranty included in the Obligation, and thereafter to all remaining Obligations secured hereby.

8.               Subordination . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Security Agreement:

9.               Release . Upon payment in full of the Obligation, the Security Interest shall automatically terminate and be released without any further action of the Secured Party, and at such time Debtor is authorized to file terminations, releases and any other document necessary to terminate and release any evidence of the Security Interest delivered by Debtor or otherwise recorded or filed to evidence the Security Interest, including releases of UCC financing statements.
 
10.               Miscellaneous . The rights and privileges of Secured Party shall inure to its successors and assigns.

Notice mailed to Debtor's address set forth above, or to Debtor's most recent changed address on file with Secured Party, at least five (5) days prior to the related action (or, if the Uniform Commercial Code specifies a longer period, such longer period prior to the related action), shall be deemed reasonable. The laws of the State of Maryland shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Security Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof.

AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
 
1.   Each Creditor subordinates to Agent any security interest or lien that such Creditor may have in any property of any Borrower. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of a Creditor and the security interest of Agent, the security interest of Agent in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall at all times be prior to the security interest of such Creditor. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.
 
2.   Except as expressly set forth in Section 3, all Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of any Borrower to Agent and Lender now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against any Borrower of any Bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the Loan Agreement (the “ Senior Debt ”).
 

1
 
 
3.   No Creditor will demand or receive from any Borrower (and no Borrower will pay to such Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will such Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will such Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against any Borrower, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creditors shall be permitted to receive, and Borrowers shall be permitted to pay, the following payments:
 
a.
If an Advance has been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, regularly scheduled payments as set forth in the Subordinated Notes in the form attached hereto, but only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such payment and no Event of Default would result from such payment.
 
b.
If no Advance has been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, (a) regularly scheduled payments of interest as set forth in the Subordinated Notes in the form attached hereto, but only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such payment and no Event of Default would result from such payment, and (b) regularly scheduled payments of principal as set forth in the Subordinated Notes in the form attached hereto, but only if (i) after giving pro forma effect to such payment, Borrowers would have cash in Deposit Accounts or Investment Accounts subject to Account Control Agreements (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) in favor of Agent in an amount not less than $7,500,000, on a consolidated basis, or (ii) as of the end of the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements were required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Parent maintained Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the twelve month period ended as of such date, of not less than $2,000,000.
 
For purposes of the foregoing determinations, amounts of permitted payments shall be determined in the aggregate for all Subordinated Notes and taking into account the aggregate payments due in respect of the Subordinated Notes.
 
4.   Each Creditor shall promptly deliver to Agent in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Creditor where required by Agent) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by such Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
 
5.   In the event of any Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Agent’s and Lender’s claims against such Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to any Creditor.
 
6.   For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, each Creditor irrevocably appoints Agent as such Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to Agent a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of Agent, for the use and benefit of Agent, without notice to such Creditor, to perform at Agent’s option the following acts in any Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving a Borrower:
 
(a)
To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of such Creditor if such Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; or
 
 
2
 
 
(b)
To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of such Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Agent deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
 
7.   In the event of a Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding, arrangement or transaction under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or similar laws or proceedings involving a Borrower, for so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, if Agent, Lender or any of them shall seek to provide a Borrower or any other Loan Party with any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code , or Agent or Lender support or consent to such financing provided by a third party, or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a “ DIP Financing ” or “ Cash Collateral Use ”), with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign laws relating to the relief of debtors) would be Collateral), then each Creditor agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support, directly or indirectly, any objection to such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use nor object to the liens or claims granted in connection therewith on any grounds, including a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the liens, if any, securing any Subordinated Debt (and will not request any adequate protection as a result of such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use, and will not support any debtor-in-possession financing or Cash Collateral Use which would compete with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use which is provided to or consented to by Agent or Lender). In addition, each Creditor agrees that it will not provide nor seek to provide or support any debtor-in-possession financing without the prior written consent of Agent.
 
8.   Each Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that such Creditor may have in any property of a Borrower. In addition, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. Each Creditor represents and warrants that a true copy of the Subordinated Note, as in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit A hereto, and that no Subordinated Note has been assigned to any other person.
 
9.   This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Agent or Lender has any obligation to make credit extensions to a Borrower or any Borrower owes any amounts to Agent or Lender under the Loan Agreement or otherwise. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Agent or Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy of a Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and each Creditor shall immediately pay over to Agent all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditors, Agent or Lender may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Agent and Lender, respectively, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to a Borrower, increasing the principal amount (which may include any DIP Financing), extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against a Borrower or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Agent’s or Lender’s rights hereunder.
 
10.   This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of a Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Agent. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of each Creditor, Agent and Lender and not for the benefit of any Borrower or any other party. Each Creditor further agrees that if a Borrower is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Agent makes a request of such Creditor, such Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
 
3
 
 
11.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
 
12.   This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES. If the jury waiver set forth in this Section is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein shall be resolved by judicial reference pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq before a mutually acceptable referee or, if none is selected, then a referee chosen by the Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, provided this provision shall not restrict any party from seeking to enforce any prejudgment remedies.
 
13.   This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. No Creditor is relying on any representations by Agent, Lender or any Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and each Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of a Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by each Creditor, Agent and Borrowers.
 
14.   In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action.
