Introductory Note
As previously disclosed, on July 1, 2024, Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) (i) completed a merger with HelloTech, Inc. (“HelloTech”) and (ii) as partial consideration thereof, assumed HelloTech’s outstanding borrowings under its existing term loan (the “Prior Loan”) with Customers Bank (“Customers”).
Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 15, 2024, the Company, Latch Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Latch Systems”), and HelloTech (collectively with the Company and Latch Systems, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “New Loan Agreement”) with Customers.
Pursuant to the New Loan Agreement, Customers issued the Borrowers a term loan in the principal amount of $6.0 million (the “New Loan”). The New Loan Agreement, which amended and restated the terms of the Prior Loan, did not result in the Borrowers receiving any additional loan proceeds. Interest is payable on the New Loan at a rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal or (b) 6.0%. The New Loan matures on July 15, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”). The Borrowers are required to pay interest on the New Loan monthly until January 15, 2025. Thereafter, the Borrowers are required to pay equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest until the Maturity Date. There is no penalty for prepayment of the New Loan.
Pursuant to the New Loan Agreement, the Borrowers have granted Customers security interests in substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets, other than intellectual property. HelloTech is required to maintain an operating account with Customers with a sufficient balance to support monthly payments. Additionally, the Borrowers are collectively required to maintain a liquidity ratio of at least 4.00, tested monthly, which is calculated as the quotient of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain limitations with respect to cash of foreign subsidiaries), divided by all outstanding indebtedness owed to Customers.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current available-for-sale securities were approximately $110 million.
The New Loan Agreement contains various covenants that, among other things, limit the Borrowers’ ability to:
engage in certain asset dispositions;
permit a change in control;
merge or consolidate;
incur indebtedness or grant liens on its assets;
declare or pay dividends, distributions or redemptions;
make loans or investments; and
engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
If an event of default exists under the New Loan Agreement, Customers will be able to accelerate the maturity of the New Loan and exercise other rights and remedies. Events of default include, but are not limited to, the following events:
failure to pay any principal or interest within three business days of the due date;
failure to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants and obligations in the New Loan Agreement, subject, in certain instances, to certain grace periods;
bankruptcy or insolvency events involving the Borrowers; or
the rendering of judgments against a Borrower that remain undischarged, unvacated, unbonded, unsatisfied or unstayed for a certain period.
The description of the New Loan Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.



The New Loan Agreement and the above description have been included to provide information regarding the terms of the New Loan Agreement and are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Borrowers or any other parties to the New Loan Agreement or their respective affiliates or securityholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the New Loan Agreement were made only for the purposes of the New Loan Agreement and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between each party rather than establishing matters of fact, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to the Company’s filings required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and may be subject to qualifications or limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with the negotiated terms, including being qualified by schedules and other disclosures made by each party. Accordingly, the representations, warranties and covenants in the New Loan Agreement should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.
Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) regarding the New Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On July 15, 2024, in a private placement concurrent with the Company’s entry into the New Loan Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to Customers to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant has an exercise price of $1.25 per share, is exercisable immediately and will expire six years from the date of issuance, or July 15, 2030. Such issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Item 7.01     Regulation FD.
As noted above, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current available-for-sale securities were approximately $110 million.
The amount shown in the preceding paragraph is unaudited and does not account for any current or non-current liabilities, including but not limited to deferred revenue, accrued liabilities, accounts payable, litigation reserves or any negative cash flow after June 30, 2024. The total amount of these impacts cannot be determined until the Company’s ongoing restatement of its historical financial statements (the “Restatement”) is complete. Readers should not make an investment decision solely based on the financial information contained in this Report because this Report does not provide a complete view of the Company’s current financial position. The Company intends to provide its comprehensive financial position in connection with completion of the Restatement, and readers should review such information when available. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these amounts, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information set forth in Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 9.01.    Financial Statements and Exhibits.



* A schedule to this exhibit has been omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K. The registrant agrees to furnish a copy of any omitted schedule to the SEC upon request.

Exhibit 4.1
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company:Latch, Inc.
Number of Shares:1,000,000
Type/Series of Stock:Common stock
Warrant Price:$1.25 per share
Issue Date:July 15, 2024
Expiration Date:July 15, 2030

Credit Facility:    This Warrant to Purchase Stock (this “Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith among Customers Bank, HelloTech, Inc., and Company (as the same may be further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT Customers Bank (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the “Class”) of Company at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant.
SECTION 1.EXERCISE.
1.1Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by Company), or other form of payment acceptable to Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, Company shall issue to Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X =    the number of Shares to be issued to Holder;
Y =    the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A =    the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and
    


B =    the Warrant Price.
1.3Fair Market Value. If Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and the Class is common stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to Company. If Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the fair market value of a Share shall be as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in their reasonable good faith judgment. The fair market value of a Share as determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 is referred to herein as the “Fair Market Value.” “Business Day” as used herein means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized or required to close.
1.4Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, Company shall (a) instruct its transfer agent to issue the Shares to Holder in book entry form upon such exercise and (b) if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, issue to Holder a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to Company for cancellation, Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
1.6Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a)For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of Company of shares representing at least a majority of Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.
(b)In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 and/or Section 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition or (ii) if Holder elects not to exercise this Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.
(c)Company shall provide Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event Company does not provide such notice, then (i) if, immediately prior to the Cash/Public Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and Company shall promptly notify Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder and Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Warrant as of the date thereof, and (ii) if, immediately prior to the Cash/Public Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share
2


(or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.
(d)Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, (i) if this Warrant is assumed by the successor entity, it shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant or (ii) if this Warrant is not assumed by the successor entity, at Holder’s option, either (A) the Company (or the successor entity) shall repurchase this Warrant from Holder for a cash purchase price equal to the product of the number of Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable, multiplied by the total of (x) Fair Market Value of one (1) Share less (y) the then-effective Warrant Price, provided that if the repurchase price calculated under this clause (A) is less than zero, such repurchase price shall be deemed to be zero, or (B) Holder may deem this Warrant to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 simultaneously with the closing of the Acquisition and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of Company.
(e)As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (A) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (B) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.
SECTION 2.ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of property that Holder would have received had Holder owned such Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
2.3No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share
3


interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, Company shall round down to the nearest whole number of Shares to be issued to Holder.
2.4Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, Company, at Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
SECTION 3.REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF COMPANY.
3.1Representations and Warranties. Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Holder as follows:
(a)[Reserved].
(b)All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, common stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into common stock or such other securities.
(c)[Reserved].
3.2Notice of Certain Events. If Company proposes at any time to:
(a)declare any dividend or distribution upon the outstanding shares of the Class or common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;

(c)effect any reclassification, exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Class; or
(d)effect an Acquisition or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;
then, in connection with each such event, Company shall give Holder:

(ii)in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which Holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Reference is made to Section 1.6(c) whereby this Warrant will be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof if Company does not give written notice to Holder of a Cash/Public Acquisition as required by the terms
4


hereof. Company will also provide information requested by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.
3.3[Reserved].
3.4[Reserved].
3.5[Reserved].
SECTION 4.REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF HOLDER.
Holder represents and warrants to Company as follows:
4.1Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by Holder are being acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act.
4.2Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.
4.3Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
4.4Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and Holder has delivered a certificate, dated as of the date hereof, from a duly authorized officer of Holder to such effect.
4.5The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act (or any state securities law) in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely, and Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”).
4.6No General Solicitation. Holder became aware of the offering of this Warrant and the Shares solely by means of direct contact between Holder and Company or by means of contact from the Company’s agents, control persons, representatives, affiliates, directors, officers, managers, members, and/or employees, and/or
5


the representatives of such persons (collectively, “Representatives”). This Warrant and the Shares were offered to Holder solely by direct contact between Holder and Company or its Representatives. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Act or any state securities law.
4.7Tax Consequences. Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences in connection with this Warrant and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Company or any of its Representatives (and Holder agrees and acknowledges that neither Company nor any of its affiliates or representatives is offering any tax or other advice in connection with the Warrant). Holder understands that it (and not Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
4.8Independent Investigation. Prior to the issuance of this Warrant, Holder has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and operations of Company. In making its determination to be issued this Warrant, Holder has relied and will solely rely upon the results of such independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of Company expressly and specifically set forth in Section 3 of this Warrant. Holder acknowledges that such representations and warranties by Company constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Company in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, and Holder understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature express or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of Company) are specifically disclaimed by Company and hereby waived by Holder. Holder further understands and acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of Company expressly and specifically set forth in Section 3, neither Holder nor any other person has relied on any information, document or material or any representation or warranty or statement not expressly set forth herein.
SECTION 5.MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 above, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before 6:00 PM, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.

THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK ISSUED BY CUSTOMERS BANK, DATED AS OF July 15, 2024, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.
In connection with a transfer of the Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in reliance on Rule 144, Holder and its broker shall deliver to the Company representation letters providing to Company any information Company reasonably deems necessary to determine that such sale is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, certifications that such Holder is not an affiliate of Company (as defined in Rule 144) and certifications as to the length of time the applicable equity interests have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letters, Company shall promptly remove the restrictive legend on the Shares.
5.3Limitation on Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any)
6


may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee.

All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two percentage points (2%) above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c)Payments. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrowers’ deposit accounts at Bank. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.
(d)Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrowers specify. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Bank all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date subject to the Bank Expense Cap, and after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses as and when they are incurred by Bank.

This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

4.Creation of Security Interest.
4.1Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by such Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.
4.2Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral (except to the extent such Negotiable Collateral is Excluded Property or not in excess of $250,000), all financing statements, and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrowers from time to time may deposit with Bank specific time deposit accounts to secure specific Obligations. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by a Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.
4.3Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during each Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect such Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to verify such Borrower’s financial condition.
4.4Pledge of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns, and grants to Bank a security interest in all 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 Obligations. On the Closing Date, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by each Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrowers shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee. Borrowers will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers, and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver, or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers, and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
4.5Limitations on Obligations of Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary:
(a)except as otherwise provided in Article 9, no Borrower shall be required to obtain any control agreement with respect to any deposit account or securities account;
(b)no Borrower shall be required to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels, collateral access agreements or similar third party agreements;
(c)no Loan Documents governed under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States, and no actions in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or that are necessary to create or perfect any security interest in assets located or titled outside of United States, shall be required; and
11


(d)no Borrower shall be required to deliver to the Bank any certificates or instruments representing or evidencing, or any stock powers or other instruments of transfer in respect of, any Person that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower (the actions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 4.5, collectively, the “Specified Perfection Actions”).
5.Representations and Warranties.
Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1Due Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary is an entity duly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and qualified and licensed to do business in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except (a) as set forth in the Schedule or (b) to the extent that the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.2Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within such Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in such Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which any Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower is bound. No Borrower is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3No Prior Encumbrances. Each Borrower has good and marketable title to its property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
5.4[Reserved].
5.5Merchantable Inventory. Taking into consideration the industry in which Borrowers operate, all Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.
5.6Intellectual Property. Each Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by such Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been asserted in writing that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party in any material respect.
5.7Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, no Borrower has done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof. The chief executive office of Borrowers is located at the address indicated in Article 10 hereof.

5.9No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, all consolidated and consolidating financial statements related to Latch and its Subsidiaries that Bank has received from Latch fairly present in all material respects Latch’s financial condition as of the date thereof and Latch’s consolidated and consolidating results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated or the consolidating financial condition of Latch since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank. Bank acknowledges that as of the Closing Date Latch’s financial statements are not audited and remain subject to restatement.
5.10Solvency; Payment of Debts. The Loan Parties, taken as a whole, are able to pay their debts (including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of their liabilities;
12


and the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.11Regulatory Compliance. Borrowers and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA maintained or contributed to by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including any multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (each, an “ERISA Plan”), and no event has occurred resulting from any Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that could result in any Borrower’s incurring any material liability. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Borrower is engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Each Borrower has complied with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. No Borrower has violated any statutes, laws, ordinances, or rules applicable to it, violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.12Environmental Condition. None of Borrowers’ or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has ever been used by a Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous owners or operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance with applicable law; to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, none of any Borrower’s properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal property owned by a Borrower or any Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state, or other governmental agency concerning any action or omission by a Borrower or any Subsidiary resulting in the releasing, or otherwise disposing of hazardous waste or hazardous substances into the environment.
5.13Taxes. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, Borrowers and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all income tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein, except (a) taxes not yet delinquent, (b) any such taxes or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books and (c) any such immaterial tax returns and reports required under the laws of, and taxes or governmental charges imposed by, any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
5.14Subsidiaries. Borrowers do not own any stock, partnership interest, or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.
5.15Government Consents. Except as set forth in the Schedule each Subsidiary has obtained all material consents, approvals, and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrowers’ business as currently conducted.
5.16[Reserved].
5.17Shares. Each Borrower has full power and authority to create a first lien on the Shares, and no contractual restriction exists that would prohibit a Borrower from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. To each Borrower’s knowledge, there are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal, or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. Except for certificates of Shares delivered to Bank, if any, no interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by Borrower is represented by a certificate. With respect to each limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by Borrower whose interests are uncertificated, such limited liability company or limited partnership has not elected, whether in its limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement or otherwise, to have such interests be treated as a “Security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Code.
13


5.18Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty, or other statement made by any Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank on or after the Closing Date contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading.

If any portion of a Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver, or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant, or levy has not been removed, discharged, or rescinded within thirty (30) days, or if a Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of a Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any of a Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within fifteen (15) days after a Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by a Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period).

9.Bank’s Rights and Remedies.
9.1Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one (1) or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:
18


(a)Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b)Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrowers and Bank;
(c)Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms, and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;
(d)Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of each Borrower’s owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(e)Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers held by Bank;
(f)Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;
(g)Dispose of the Collateral by way of one (1) or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner, and at such places (including each Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(h)Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(i)Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers.
9.2Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the maturity or acceleration of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to take any of the following actions: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) send requests for verification of deposit accounts, securities accounts or other similar accounts and notify the bank, securities intermediary, or other Person at which any such account is maintained of Bank’s security interest in such account, direct any such bank, securities intermediary, or other Person to cease complying with Borrowers’ or any Subsidiary’s instructions, and to comply with Bank’s instructions, regarding any withdrawals, payments, or other transfers from any such account; (c) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (d) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (e) dispose of any Collateral; (f) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s
19


policies of insurance; and (g) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable. In addition, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) to file, in its sole discretion, one (1) or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.
9.3Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrowers of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrowers shall collect all amounts owing to Borrowers for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4Deposit and Securities Accounts. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Bank may notify any bank, securities intermediary or other Person at which Borrowers or any Subsidiary maintain any deposit accounts, securities accounts or other similar accounts of Bank’s security interest and verify the amount of cash and other assets held in such accounts, (b) Borrowers shall execute and deliver, and cause each of its Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party to execute and deliver, an account control agreement with respect to any deposit accounts, securities accounts or other similar accounts maintained by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties as may be reasonably requested by Bank, and (c) following notice to Borrowers, Borrowers shall not make, or instruct any bank, securities intermediary or other Person to make, withdrawals, payments, or other transfers if at any such time Borrowers fail to be in compliance with Sections 6.7 or 6.8, or any such withdrawals, payments, or other transfers would cause Borrowers not to be in compliance with Sections 6.7 or 6.8 giving pro forma effect thereto.
9.5Bank Expenses. If a Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrowers: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.6Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.
9.7Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.8Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which a Borrower may in any way be liable.

In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored, or returned,
23


the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored, or returned.
14.Co-Borrower Provisions.
14.1Primary Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Bank and any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers.
14.2Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations, and Bank may proceed against one or more of Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any other Borrower.
14.3Latch as Agent. HelloTech appoints Latch as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of HelloTech, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of HelloTech and to apply to Bank on behalf of HelloTech for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of the other Borrower.
14.4Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating any Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 14.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 14.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
14.5Waivers of Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which such Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of such Borrower’s risks hereunder.
14.6Subrogation Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under any statutory or common law suretyship defenses or marshalling rights, now and hereafter in effect.
24


14.7Right to Settle, Release.
(a)The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Bank may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b)Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
14.8Subordination. All indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations, and such Borrower holding the indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Bank to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

SECURED PARTY:    CUSTOMERS BANK
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT
TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
All personal property of Borrower (herein referred to as “Borrower” or “Debtor”) whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired, and wherever located, including, but not limited to:
(a)all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money, and all of Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records;
(b)any and all cash proceeds and/or noncash proceeds of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds, and all supporting obligations and the security therefor or for any right to payment. All terms above have the meanings given to them in the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks and applications therefor, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present and future infringement of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the foregoing (the “Rights to Payment”).
