XxXxxxxx Xxxx., #000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay.
Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the Sublimit Utilization Amount. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid (without penalty) and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her authorized designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or 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 execution of this Agreement.
** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.
Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (b) the FX Reserve and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower’s reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank on or before the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.
2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.
If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is a maximum of the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (b) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.
2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.
Borrower may use up to the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (b) the FX Reserve and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

2.2 Overadvances.
If Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.
2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.
(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the 1st day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including Account Number ** for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and demand payment of, and collect any Accounts, general intangibles and other Collateral, and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Bank to endorse or sign Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, and, in Bank’s good faith business judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and general intangibles for less than face value. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any reasonable amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9207 of the Code, it is not liable 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 otherwise bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 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.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, FORUM AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

12.6 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.7 Survival.
All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 Confidentiality.
In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the loans (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining such prospective transferee or purchasers agreement of the terms of this provision), (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate exercising remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
12.9 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses.
In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of the Loan Documents, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
