Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Borrower shall have entered into deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement with respect to any accounts maintained outside Bank (including any investment accounts maintained with Bank’s Affiliates) within 60 days following the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) SendGrid UK Ltd., a Borrower’s UK Subsidiary, may maintain an account in UK for the purpose of funding all existing and future foreign operations, subject to the restriction that the aggregate amount on deposit in such account shall not exceed $300,000 at any time without an account control agreement satisfactory to Bank.
2) The following defined term is hereby added to Exhibit A to the Agreement, as follows:

5) Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
