The Bank may still exercise its rights or any other or further rights against a Borrower because of any other breach not waived herein.
2.LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2
2.1Credit Extensions.
(a) Promise to Pay. Each Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrowers, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) Advances Under Revolving Line.
(a)Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement Borrowers may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of(i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, less the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrowers and merchant credit card processing reserves under the Credit Card Services Sublimit. Except as set forth in this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time without penalty or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. Any repayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so repaid. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict, or otherwise affect Bank’s right to make demand for payment of all or any part of the Obligations under the Agreement due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.
(b)Form of Request. Whenever Borrowers desire an Advance, a Borrower will notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. . Each such notice shall be made in accordance with Section 2.3(c) hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible Officer. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to a Borrower’s deposit account.
(c)Credit Card Services Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may request corporate credit cards and standard and e-commerce merchant account services from Bank (collectively, the "Credit Card Services"). The aggregate limit of the corporate credit cards and merchant credit card processing reserves shall not exceed the Credit Card Services Sublimit, provided that availability under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrowers and merchant credit card processing reserves. In addition, Bank may, in its sole discretion, charge as Advances any amounts that become due or owing to Bank in connection with the Credit Card Services. The terms and conditions (including repayment and fees) of such Credit Card Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Bank's standard forms of application and agreement for the Credit Card Services, which each Borrower hereby agrees to execute.
(d)Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. If each Borrowers has not secured to Bank’s satisfaction its obligations with respect to any Credit Card Services that may extend beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, then, effective as of the Revolving Maturity Date, the balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates of deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Bank in a Borrower’s name (and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts), shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the then continuing or outstanding Credit Card Services; provided, however, that if there are insufficient balances in such accounts to secure such obligations, Borrowers shall immediately deposit such additional funds as are necessary to fully secure such obligations. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any requests by a Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Credit Card Services are outstanding or continue.
3
(e) Bank’s Records. The amount and date of each Advance, its applicable interest rate, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve a Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by Borrowers to Bank under or pursuant to this Agreement, when due in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.2 Overadvances. If at any time the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, less the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrowers and merchant credit card processing reserves under the Credit Card Services Sublimit, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 Interest Rates and Payments.
(a)Interest Rates.
(i)Advances. The Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(ii)Default Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate of three percent (3%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the foregoing, ‹i late payment charge equal to three percent (3%) of each late payment hereunder may be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under the Agreement. In no event shall the interest payable under this Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. THE MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE HIGHEST APPLICABLE USURY CEILING.
(b) Payments.
(i)Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, from the date made until the same is paid in full (whether in accordance with the terms hereof, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the event that any payment becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth hereto. Interest accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest rate as a result of any change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change.
(ii)Bank may, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of a Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment. Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as a Borrower specifies. Any payment by check or other item of payment Bank may receive will conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Any payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
4
(c) Interest Act (Canada). For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the calculation is made and divided by 360.
(d) Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by a Borrower under the Loan Documents exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Borrower and Bank and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to such Borrower. For the purposes of this paragraph the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Bank will be prima facie evidence of such rate.
(e) Selection/Conversion of Interest Rate Options.
(i)Each Borrower may request an Advance hereunder either (i) upon the delivery to Bank of a written Request for Advance duly completed and executed by such Borrower or, (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to a request submitted through Bank’s Loan Management System (each a “Request”).
(ii)In the event that a Borrower is unable to request an Advance hereunder through the Bank’s Loan Management System, Advances hereunder may be requested by delivery or submission to Bank by hand delivery, first class mail, overnight courier, facsimile, email or other means of delivery acceptable to Bank, of a written Request duly completed and executed by a Borrower. An Advance hereunder may be requested in a Xxxxxxxx’s discretion by telephonic notice to Bank. Any Advance requested by telephonic notice shall be confirmed by a Borrower that same day by submission to Bank of a written Request, as provided herein. Each Borrower acknowledges that if Bank makes an Advance based on a request made by telephone, facsimile, email or other means of delivery (other than by hand delivery, first class mail or overnight courier), it shall be for such Borrower's convenience and all risks involved in the use of any such procedure shall be borne by such Borrower, and each Borrower expressly agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless therefor. Bank shall have no duty to confirm the authority of anyone requesting an Advance by telephone, facsimile, email or any such other means of delivery. In the event that a Borrower elects to request an Advance by telephonic notice, facsimile, email or other means of delivery acceptable to Bank, such Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank may impose or require such verification, authentication and other procedures as Bank may require from time to time.
(f) Regulatory Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate.
(i)If any Change in Law shall: (a) subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Obligations under the Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office is located); or (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Obligations; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Agreement by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then Borrowers shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of a Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to a Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such
5
additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(ii)In the event that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the maintaining of any Obligations, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation's) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then Borrowers shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of a Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and/or liquidity and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or to maintaining any Obligations. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to a Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
2.4 Fees and Bank Expenses. Borrowers shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. On the Closing Date, a fee equal to Forty Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000), which shall be nonrefundable; and
(b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Success Fee. On the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrowers shall pay to Bank a one-time success fee equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Success Fee Amount”). The Success Fee Amount shall be non-refundable. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of all Obligations of Borrowers to Bank and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, to the extent the provisions of this Section 2.5(d) and Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Success Fee Amount survive repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of all Obligations of Borrowers to Bank and termination of this Agreement, Borrowers’ surviving obligation to pay the Success Fee Amount shall not be considered to be an “Obligation” (as defined in the Agreement) entitling the Bank, solely on account of such surviving obligation to pay the Success Fee Amount if all other Obligations have been indefeasibly repaid in full and Bank has no obligation to fund any Credit Extensions and this Agreement has been terminated, to maintain any security interest or Lien on any Collateral or asset of Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents grants Bank the right to maintain any Lien on any Collateral or assets of the Borrowers if all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and Bank has no obligation to fund any Credit Extensions and Borrowers’ only obligation to Bank is the surviving obligation of Borrowers to pay the Success Fee Amount or the performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.5{d) after termination of this Agreement. Upon the indefeasible repayment in full of all Indebtedness owing to Bank and satisfaction of all Obligations of Borrowers to Bank (other than Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Success Fee Amount) and termination of this Agreement (other than provisions that expressly survive such termination), upon the request of Borrowers the Bank will take all actions otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to terminate such Liens in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
2.5 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to
6
make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.

The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.
4.CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by each Borrower of each of its respective covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as
set forth in the Schedule and for properly perfected Permitted Liens described in subclause (c) of the defined term “Permitted Liens”, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.
4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time financing statements, financing change statements, notices of grant of security interest, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of each Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code (or other applicable personal property security legislation) for the sufficiency of fil1ng office acceptance of any financing statement, financing change statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether each Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Division 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrowers shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrowers shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, securities accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Division 9 of the Code the CCQ or Securities Transfer Act in the applicable jurisdiction) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrowers will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Without duplication of any right set forth in Section 6.2(d), Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during each Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to inspect each Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify each Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
4.4 Lock Box.
8
(a) Each Borrower agrees that the Obligations shall be on a “remittance basis”. Each Borrower shall at its sole expense establish and maintain (and Bank, at Bank's option, may establish and maintain at such Borrower's expense):
(i) A United States Post Office lock box (the “Lock Box”), to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Each Borrower expressly authorizes Bank, from time to time, to remove the contents from the Lock Box, for disposition in accordance with this Agreement. Each Borrower shall notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to such Borrower that all payments made to Borrower (other than payments by electronic funds transfer) shall be remitted, for the credit of such Borrower, to the Lock Box, and each Borrower shall include a like statement on all invoices; and
(ii) A non-interest bearing deposit account with Bank which shall be titled as designated by Bank (the “Dominion of Funds Account”) to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Each Borrower shall notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to such Borrower that all payments made to such Borrower by electronic funds transfer shall be remitted to the Dominion of Funds Account, and each Borrower shall include a like statement on all invoices. Each Borrower shall execute all documents and authorizations as required by Bank to establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Dominion of Funds Account.
(iii) Borrowers may use the Business Deposit Capture*M feature at Bank (the “BDC”) to immediately deposit into the Dominion of Funds Account payments received by Borrower by check despite the Borrower’s directions to mail such checks to the Lock Box.
(b) Each Borrower shall hold in trust for Bank all amounts that such Borrower receives, including despite the directions to make payments to the Lock Box or Dominion of Funds Account, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit into the Lock Box or Dominion of Funds Account, as applicable.
Provided no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, all items or amounts which are remitted to the Dominion of Funds Account, or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of Borrowers to Bank on account of partial or full payment of, or with respect to, any Collateral shall, on a daily basis, be deposited to a Borrower’s operating account maintained at Bank. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all items or amounts remitted to the Lock Box, the Dominion of Funds Account or that Bank has otherwise received shall, in Bank’s sole discretion, be applied to the payment of any Obligations, whether then due or not, in such order or at such time of application as Bank may determine in its sole discretion. Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage which Borrowers may suffer as a result of Bank's processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, attorney's fees and including claims, damages, fines, expenses, liabilities or causes of action of whatever kind resulting from bank's own negligence except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
4.4 Pledge of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Bank a security interest in all the Shares, if any, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Closing Date, within ten (10) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares, if any, have or will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by each Borrower. Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date, none of the Equity Interests or Shares are evidenced by certificates, including the shares of Limeade GmbH pledged by Limeade. Borrower represents and warrants that, after the Closing Date, all the certificates, if any, for the Equity Interests have been delivered to Bank in accordance with this Section 4.4. To
9
the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, each Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may affect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee. Each Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Each Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
4.5 Unlimited Liability Companies. Notwithstanding the grant of security interest made by a Borrower in favour of Bank of all of its Shares, for any interest (for the purposes of this Section 4.5, “ULC Interests”) that such Borrower controls in any unlimited liability company (for the purposes of this Section 4.5, a “ULC”) pledged hereunder, such Borrower shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as such ULC Interests are effectively transferred into the name of Bank or any other Person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall constitute Bank or any Person as a shareholder or member of any ULC until such time as notice is given to such ULC and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register Bank or any other Person as the holder of the ULC Interests of such ULC. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting Bank or any other Person as a shareholder or member of a ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective with respect to the ULC Interests of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Shares which are not ULC Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, no Borrower shall cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds ULC Interests to cause or permit, Bank to: (a) be registered as shareholders or members of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of Bank holding a security interest in such ULC; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member of such ULC including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such ULC.
(5)REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary is an entity duly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, as applicable, and qualified and licensed to do business in any province, territory, state or other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within each Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in such Borrower’s organizational documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which such Borrower is bound. Each Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 Collateral.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Xxxxxxxxx:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
19
(b) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any outstanding Credit Card Services, as collateral security for the repayment of outstanding Credit Card Services, and (ii) pay in advance all Credit Card Services fees, and Borrower shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts;
(c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of each Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between each Borrower and Bank;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;
(e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of each Borrower’s owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) payments received by Bank, (ii) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Bank, and (iii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers held by Bank;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, 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, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including each Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, each Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and each Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
(j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of each Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and
(k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers.
20
Bank may comply with any applicable state, provincial, territorial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
9.2Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Xxxxxxxx’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Xxxxxxxx’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) enter into a short-form intellectual property security agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement for recording purposes only or modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; and (h) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clauses (g) and (h) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Xxxxxxxx’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrowers of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4Bank Expenses. If a Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to such Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.
9.6No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Borrowers. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.
21
9.7Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, CCQ by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on each Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.
9.8Demand: Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayrnent and any other notices relating to the Obligations.
9.9Shares. Borrowers recognize that Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Bank shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
10. NOTICES.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by facsimile to Borrowers or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

This Judicial Reference Provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference proceeding pursuant to this Judicial Reference Provision as provided herein.
13.4.The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).
13.5.The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings.

The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.
13.7.Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter attrial.
13.8.The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
13.9.If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
13.10.THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of all Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without limitation Disbursement Request Forms, Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates. Furthermore, the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group of Borrowers, such that each Borrower will benefit from any Credit Extensions Bank makes to another Borrower.
14.2Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations and Bank may proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.
14.3Borrowers as Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of both Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Bank on behalf of each Borrower for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of Xxxxxxxx.
14.4Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) 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 the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents 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 the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise.

Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower’s risks hereunder.

Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and hereafter in effect.
