BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
This Agreement dated as of May 29, 2003, is between BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association (the “Bank”), and ZUMIEZ INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”).
1. LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS
1.1. Line of Credit Amount.
(a) During the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit (the “Commitment”) is initially $20,000,000.00. On or after July 1, 2004, upon receipt by the Bank of the Borrower’s written request, the Commitment may be increased to $25,000,000.00 provided that:
(i) The Borrower is in compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the other loan documents at the time the Borrower elects to increase the Commitment; and
(ii) The Borrower has provided the Bank with a forecast indicating continued compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement for the remaining availability period.
(b) This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.
(c) The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to exceed the Commitment. If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon the Bank’s demand.
1.2. Availability Period. The line of credit is available between the date of this Agreement until July 1, 2005, or such earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the “Expiration Date”). On or before July 1, 2004, the Bank shall, at its sole discretion, (a) provide the Borrower with a commitment to extend the Expiration Date an additional 12 months, (thereby changing the Expiration Date to July 1, 2006) or, alternatively, (b) notify the Borrower that the Bank is not prepared at that time to extend the Line of Credit beyond the Expiration Date.
1.3. Repayment Terms.
(a) The Borrower will pay interest on June 1, 2003, and then on the first calendar day of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under the Line of Credit. Any interest period for an optional interest rate (as described below) shall expire no later than the Expiration Date.
(b) The Borrower will repay in full all principal and any unpaid interest of other charges outstanding under the Line of Credit no later than the Expiration Date.
1.4. Interest Rate.
(a) The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the Prime Rate.
(b) The Prime Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its customers at, above, or below the Prime Rate. Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of a change in the Bank’s Prime Rate.
1.5. Optional Interest Rates. Instead of the interest rate based on the rate stated in Section 1.4(a), the Borrower may elect the optional interest rates listed below for the Line of Credit during interest periods specified in Section 2.2(a). The optional interest rates shall be the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin as defined below, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions described later in
1
this Agreement. Any principal amount bearing interest at an optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a “Portion.”
1.6. Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin, B/A Rate, and Nonusage Fee Margin shall be the following amounts per annum, based upon the “Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio” (as defined in Section 8.4 of this Agreement), as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate (or, if no compliance certificate is required, the Borrower’s most recent financial statements) received by the Bank as required in the Covenants section; provided, however, that, until the Bank receives the first compliance certificate and financial statement, such amounts shall be those indicated for pricing level 2 set forth below:

The Applicable Margin, B/A Rate, and Nonusage Fee Margin shall be in effect from the first day of the month following the date the most recent compliance certificate and financial statement is received by the Bank, until the date the next compliance certificate and financial statement is received; provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to timely deliver the next compliance certificate or financial statement, the Line of Credit shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate (and the optional interest rate shall not be available) from the date such compliance certificate or financial statement was due until the date such compliance certificate or financial statement is received by the Bank.
1.7. Acceptances. The Line of Credit may be used for financing acceptance transactions for a minimum tenor of 30 days and a maximum tenor of 180 days, and not to extend beyond the Expiration Date. In calculating the principal amount outstanding under the Commitment, the calculation shall include the face amount of any acceptances outstanding. The Borrower agrees:
(a) Each acceptance shall be in an amount not less than $250,000.
(b) Any sum owed to the Bank under an acceptance may, at the option of the Bank, be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due as described elsewhere in this Agreement.
(c) If there is a default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and make the Bank whole for any outstanding acceptances.
(d) The issuance of any acceptance is subject to the Bank’s express approval and must be in form and content satisfactory to the Bank.
(e) To sign the Bank’s standard form agreement for acceptances, and to pay any issuance and/or other fees that the Bank notifies the Borrower will be charged for issuing and processing acceptances for the Borrower. The discount calculated for each acceptance shall be calculated using the B/A Rate set forth in Section 1.6.
(f) To allow the Bank to automatically charge the Designated Account (as defined below) for applicable fees, discounts, and other charges.
1.8. Letters of Credit.
(a) During the availability period, at the request of the Borrower, the Bank will issue commercial letters of credit with a maximum maturity of 180 days, and not to extend more than 180 days beyond the Expiration Date. Each commercial letter of credit will require drafts payable at sight.
2
(b) The amount of the letters of credit outstanding at any one time (including the drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the letters of credit) may not exceed $7,500,000.
(c) In calculating the principal amount outstanding under the Commitment, the calculation shall include the amount of any letters of credit outstanding, including amounts drawn on any letters of credit and not yet reimbursed.
(d) The Borrower agrees:
(i) Any sum drawn under a letter of credit may, at the option of the Bank, be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due as described elsewhere in this Agreement.
(ii) If there is a default under this Agreement, to prepay and make the Bank whole for any outstanding letters of credit, immediately upon the written request of the Bank.
(iii) The issuance of any letter of credit and any amendment to a letter of credit is subject to the Bank’s written approval and must be in form and content satisfactory to the Bank and in favor of a beneficiary acceptable to the Bank.
(iv) To sign the Bank’s form Application and Agreement for Commercial Letter of Credit or Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit, as applicable.
(v) To pay any issuance and/or other fees that the Bank notifies the Borrower will be charged for issuing and processing letters of credit for the Borrower.
(vi) To allow the Bank to automatically charge the Designated Account (as defined below) for applicable fees, discounts, and other charges.
(e) Letters of credit outstanding for the account of the Borrower as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.
2. OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES
2.1. Optional Rates. Each optional interest rate is a rate per year. Interest will be paid on the first day of each month during the interest period. At the end of any interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in Section 1.4(a) above, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the Portion. No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Agreement, after written notice of default has been given to the Borrower, the Bank may suspend the availability of optional interest rates for interest periods commencing after the default occurs, with such suspension to continue until such default is cured.
2.2. LIBOR Rate. The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:
(a) The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be one, two, or three months. The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a “LIBOR Banking Day”). The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.
(b) Each LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than $250,000.
3
(c) The “LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of the interest period.)
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate |
|
|
(1.00 - Reserve Percentage) |
Where,
(i) “London Inter-Bank Offered Rate” means the average per annum interest rate at which U.S. dollar deposits would be offered for the applicable interest period by major banks in the London inter-bank market, as shown on the Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period. If such rate does not appear or the Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page), the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which the Bank’s London Banking Center is open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.
(ii) “Reserve Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.
(d) The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon, Pacific time, on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified above. For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.
(e) The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing:
(i) Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London inter-bank market; or
(ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion.
(f) Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described below. A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.
(g) The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so funded.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
3.1. Fees.
(a) Loan Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a loan fee in the amount of $20,000, to which shall be applied any acceptance fee paid by the Borrower to the Bank upon acceptance of the Bank’s commitment for the Line of Credit. This fee is due on the date of this Agreement.
(b) Increase Fee. The Borrower shall pay an increase fee of $5,000 if and when it exercises its option to increase the Commitment to $25,000,000.
(c) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the Commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the average of the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at a percentage per year equal to the “Nonusage Fee Margin” determined in accordance with Section 1.6. The calculation of credit outstanding shall include the outstanding acceptances and the undrawn amount of letters of credit. This fee is due on the last day of each calendar quarter until the Expiration Date.
(d) Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default.
3.2. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the Bank for expenses, that include, but are not limited to, filing and search fees, appraisal fees, and documentation fees.
3.3. Reimbursement Costs.
(a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of the Borrower’s books, records and collateral, and appraisals of the collateral, not more frequently than annually unless the Borrower is in default under this Agreement. The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers.
4. COLLATERAL
The Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement will be secured by personal property the Borrower now owns or will own in the future as listed below (as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code). The collateral is further defined in a security agreement executed by the Borrower. In addition, all personal property collateral securing this Agreement shall also secure all renewals, modifications and extensions of the Line of Credit. All personal property collateral securing any other present or future obligations of the Borrower to the Bank shall also secure this Agreement.
(a) Equipment and Fixtures.
(b) Inventory.
(c) Accounts.
(d) General Intangibles.
(e) Proceeds of the foregoing.
5
5. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
5.1. Disbursements and Payments.
(a) Each payment by the Borrower will be made in immediately available funds by direct debit to a deposit account as specified below or by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking centers in the United States.
(b) Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank.
5.2. Telephone and Telefax Authorization.
(a) The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and telefax requests for the issuance of letters of credit given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers.
(b) Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number 00000000 owned by the Borrower, or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower.
(c) The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.
5.3. Direct Debit (Pre-Billing).
(a) The Borrower agrees that the Bank will debit deposit account number 00000000 owned by the Borrower, or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower (the “Designated Account”) on the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the “Due Date”).
(b) Prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The xxxx will be mailed a specified number of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by the Bank and the Borrower. The calculations in the xxxx will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate.
(c) The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the “Accrued Amount”). If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows:
(i) If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such discrepancy.
(ii) If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.
Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment.
(d) The Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.
6
5.4. Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the Line of Credit on the next banking day.
5.5. Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.
5.6. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 3.0% higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.
6. CONDITIONS
The Bank must receive the following items, in form and content acceptable to the Bank, before it is required to extend any credit to the Borrower under this Agreement:
6.1. Conditions to First Extension of Credit. Before the first extension of credit:

(a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.
(b) At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, also know as JAMS/Endispute, or any successor thereof (“JAMS”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control.
(d) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for the Line of Credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for
14
arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.

For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
(f) This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
(g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.
10.5. Severability: Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default.

In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, U.S. Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case.

This indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and payable immediately without demand.
