under the February Letter (such obligations, as continued under the Distribution Agreement, are
herein referred to as the “February Obligations”), (y) continues the obligations of Biolase
to HSI under the letter agreement, dated March 9, 2010 (as amended or otherwise modified prior to

this Agreement, (b) delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments

its agreement with regard to Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property set forth in Section

Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party

Section 9 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by HSI would
fulfill HSI’s duties under the UCC or other law of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in
HSI’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by HSI
shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated
in this Section 9. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9
shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on HSI that would
not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this

13. No Waiver by HSI, etc. HSI shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights
or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing
and signed by HSI. No delay or omission on the part of HSI in exercising any right or remedy

collateral security (including, without limitation, the Collateral) for, or other assurances of
payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in
respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in

Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
