The parties agree as follows:
1 | ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS |
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial calculations (whether for pricing covenants, or otherwise) shall be made with regard to Borrower only and not on a consolidated basis. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein, and by any other applicable law.
2 | LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT |
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon together with any fees and Finance Charges as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 | Financing of Eligible Collections |
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may request that Bank make advances based upon Borrower’s Collections Base. Bank shall, in its good faith business discretion, make such advances by extending credit to Borrower in an amount (for all advances outstanding) not to exceed the Availability Amount (each, an “Advance” and, collectively, the “Advances”).
(b) Maximum Advances. The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances may not exceed at any time the Availability Amount. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances exceeds the Availability Amount, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess amount, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any of its accounts maintained with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates in connection therewith. Bank shall provide a written notice of such debit to Borrower.
(c) Borrowing Procedure. Ltd will deliver an Advance Request Transmittal signed by a Responsible Officer of Ltd for each Advance it requests, accompanied by satisfactory evidence of the then-current Collections Base. Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Advance Request Transmittal.
(d) Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, effective immediately upon written notice to Borrower. If this Agreement is terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable termination fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Maximum Availability Amount (the “Early Termination Fee”), provided however, that if
1
this Agreement is terminated by Borrower in connection with and pursuant to the consummation of an equity financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, initial public offering) by Ltd, whereby Ltd shall issue and sell shares or other equity in Ltd and use the proceeds from such issuance and sale to prepay in full Borrower's Obligations hereunder (specifically excluding Obligations related solely to Bank Services) within thirty (30) days following the consummation of such equity financing, the Early Termination Fee shall be in an amount equal to five tenths of one percent (0.5%) of the Maximum Availability Amount. The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if Bank closes on the refinance and re-documentation of this Agreement under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Maturity Date.
(e) Maturity. This Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder (specifically excluding Obligations related solely to Bank Services), shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or earlier termination of this Agreement.
(f) Suspension of Credit Extensions. Borrower’s ability to request that Bank make additional Credit Extensions hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s reasonable discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or if there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the Effective Date. For the avoidance of any doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.1.1(f), in and on themselves, shall not trigger repayment by Borrower of any Credit Extensions and/or Advances made by Bank prior to such events, but shall only affect Bank's making additional Credit Extensions.
2.2 Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations outstanding hereunder (specifically excluding Obligations related solely to Bank Services) shall be subject to the fees and Finance Charges as set forth in this Section 2. Unpaid and due fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations.
2.3 | [Intentionally omitted]. |
2.4 | Facility Fee and Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. |
(a) A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) is due and payable upon the Effective Date (the “Facility Fee”).
(b) Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, on a calendar year basis, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter, in an amount equal to four tenths of one percent (0.40%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Maximum Availability Amount. The unused portion of the Maximum Availability Amount, for purposes of this calculation, shall equal the difference between (a) the Maximum Availability Amount and (b) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Advances outstanding. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make Advances hereunder.
The Facility Fee and each Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Fees”.
(c) Good Faith Deposit. Borrower has paid to Bank a deposit of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (the “Good Faith Deposit”) to initiate Bank’s due diligence review process. Any portion of the Good Faith Deposit not utilized to pay Bank Expenses, if any, will be applied to and reduce the Facility Fee.
2.5 Finance Charges. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on the Facility Balance which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days each such Advance is outstanding multiplied by the outstanding Facility Balance. The Finance Charge is payable on a monthly basis on
2
the first (1st) day of each month in accordance with Section 2.9 of this Agreement. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase an additional five percent (5.0%) per annum.
2.6 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, Bank Expenses, the Loan Fees, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to Section 2.9 of this Agreement, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Credit Extensions made or collections received by Bank. Bank shall provide a written notice of such deduction to Borrower.
2.7 | [Intentionally omitted] |
2.8 Bank Expenses. Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due, provided, however, that such Bank Expenses in connection with the documentation, negotiation of this Agreement and any audit checks made in connection hereto as of the Effective Date, do not exceed an aggregate amount of Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($65,000) plus VAT if applicable (from which the amount of the Good Faith Deposit shall be deducted).
2.9 | Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments |
2.9.1 | Repayment. |
(a) Borrower shall pay to Bank, on the first day of each Reconciliation Period, all accrued Finance Charges with respect to the Advances; and
(b) Borrower will repay the principal amount of the Advances on the earliest of: (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances exceeds the Availability Amount (but only up to the amount exceeding the Availability Amount), or (ii) the Maturity Date (including any early termination). Any payment pursuant to (ii) shall also include all accrued and unpaid Finance Charges and all other Obligations outstanding hereunder (specifically excluding Obligations related solely to Bank Services).
2.9.2 Repayment on Event of Default. When there is an Event of Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.5 of this Agreement, immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the Obligations. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include any and all Credit Extensions, and all accrued Finance Charges, the Early Termination Fee, the Loan Fees, attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, Bank Expenses and any other Obligations.
2.9.3 Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. Bank shall provide a written notice of such debit to Borrower. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
2.10 Power of Attorney. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its successors and assigns as attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank and its successor and assigns, to: (a) following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuance , (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, or discharge all or any part of the Accounts; (ii) demand, collect xxx, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or proceeding about the Accounts, including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank’s or Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses; (iii) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any notice, claim, assignment, demand, draft, or notice of or satisfaction of lien or mechanics’ lien or similar document; (iv) endorse Borrower’s name on checks or other instruments (to the extent necessary to pay amounts owed pursuant to any of the Loan Documents); and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, execute on Borrower’s behalf any instruments, documents, financing statements to perfect Bank’s interests in the Collateral, as directed by Bank. Bank's foregoing appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers thereunder, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and this Agreement is terminated.

If Inc shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.

Borrower acknowledges that it may have previously entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority security interest granted herein and the first ranking charges granted under the Debenture.
If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are satisfied in full, and at such time, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (a) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (b) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any, provided however, that with respect to Bank Services such as grant of letters of credit, provision of cash collateral in an amount equal to 110% of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such letters of credit , plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment) shall be considered to be acceptable to Bank.
4.2 Debentures. Borrower undertakes to create, in favor of Bank, a first ranking floating charge over all of the present and future assets of Borrower whether now existing or hereafter created, and a first ranking fixed charge over its reputation and goodwill, Intellectual Property and other fixed assets and any tax benefit Borrower may have, in accordance with a debenture of floating charge and a debenture of fixed charge, in the forms of Debentures attached as Exhibit E and Exhibit E-1 respectively (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, jointly, the “Debentures” and each, a “Debenture”).
4.3 Security Documents. All Obligations shall be secured by any and all properties, rights and assets of Borrower in the Collateral granted by Borrower to Bank now, or in the future, in which Borrower obtains an interest, or the power to transfer rights, including, without limitation, the Charged Property as set forth in the Debentures, and any and all other security agreements, mortgages or other collateral granted by Borrower to Bank, now or in the future. Borrower warrants and represents that the charges of the Debentures, upon the filing thereof, shall be first priority fixed and floating charges in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens which are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have priority. Borrower further covenants that, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Bank that:

(a) charges in favor of Bank Hapoalim, created by Ltd on cash deposits in the amount of NIS 185,000 and NIS 1,200,000, respectively, maintained at account no. 584/676336 with Bank Hapoalim, to secure Ltd's obligations under letters of credit issued by Bank Hapoalim in connection with Ltd's facilities in Tel Aviv – up to the amount of NIS 185,000 and NIS 1,200,000, respectively.

6
(ii) the documents and/or filings evidencing such amendment have been appropriately filed.
4.4 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Any such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion. Upon Borrower’s request, Bank will provide Borrower with a copy of any such financing statement filed by Bank.

Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. When an Event of Default occurs and continues beyond any applicable grace period Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 of this Agreement occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105.0%) for Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and one hundred ten percent (110.0%) for Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit; (d) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest and charges in such funds and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver such payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(e) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest and charges in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest or charges and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
15
(f) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(g) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property 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, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;
(h) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(i) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
(j) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof) or any other applicable law, including realization of securities and the exercise of all of Bank’s rights and remedies with respect to the Debentures.
9.2 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4 of this Agreement or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.3 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.4 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank shall not be required to resort to any particular security, right or remedy or to proceed in any particular order or priority and Bank shall have the right at any time and from time to time, to enforce its security interests, liens, rights and remedies, or any of them, in any manner and in any order, at its sole discretion. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code and any other applicable law, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
16
9.5 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, 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 held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
9.6 Borrower Liability. Ltd may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Inc hereby appoints Ltd as agent for itself for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extensions, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, including, without limitation, the benefit of California Civil Code Section 2815 permitting revocation as to future transactions and the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 1432, 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, and 2899 and 3433, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose or realize its security by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.6 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 9.6, 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.

11 | CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE |
California law governs the Loan Documents (except for the Debentures, which are governed by the laws of the State of Israel) without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the
18
exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12 | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms of the Warrant).
12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Right of Set-Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest, fixed and floating charge (as provided under the Loan Documents) and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the grant of a security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 and the charges granted under the Debentures shall survive until termination of this Agreement, the Debentures and all Bank Services Agreements. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 of this Agreement to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.
12.10 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, each a “Bank Entity” and collectively, the “Bank Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this Section 12.10); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is: (i) either in the public domain other than as a result of Bank’s breach of this Section 12.10 or is in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party on a nonconfidential basis if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
Bank Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly prohibited by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound.

The undersigned acknowledges that no borrowings may be requested at any time or date of determination that Borrower is not in compliance with any of the terms of the Agreement, and that compliance is determined not just at the date this certificate is delivered.
All other representations and warranties in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on this date, and Borrower represents that there is no existing Event of Default.
