Borrower Agreement
BY SIGNING XXXXX, THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:
A |
THE BORROWER HAS RECEIVED AND READ A COPY OF THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT, THE ATTACHED CREDIT LINE ACCOUNT APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE CREDIT LINE AGREEMENT FOLLOWING THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT) AND THE LOAN DISCLOSURE STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE RISK FACTORS THAT THE BORROWER SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE OBTAINING A LOAN SECURED BY THE BORROWER’S SECURITIES ACCOUNT. THE BORROWER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT AND ALSO AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE CREDIT LINE ACCOUNT APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE CREDIT LINE AGREEMENT FOLLOWING THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT) (WHICH TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE) AND ANY AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BY THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT OR THE CREDIT LINE AGREEMENT. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS BORROWER AGREEMENT HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THE CREDIT LINE AGREEMENT. |
B |
THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT UBS BANK USA MAY DEMAND FULL OR PARTIAL PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, AT ITS SOLE OPTION AND WITHOUT CAUSE, AT ANY TIME, AND THAT ADVANCES ARE NOT EXTENDED FOR ANY SPECIFIC TERM OR DURATION, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DURATION OF ANY INTEREST PERIOD OR REPAYMENT PERIOD, IF APPLICABLE, SELECTED. THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ALL ADVANCES ARE SUBJECT TO COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS (COMMONLY KNOWN AS MARGIN REQUIREMENTS). THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THAT UBS BANK USA MAY, AT ANY TIME, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, TERMINATE AND CANCEL THE CREDIT LINE WHETHER OR NOT AN EVENT HAS OCCURRED. |
C |
UNLESS DISCLOSED IN WRITING TO UBS BANK USA AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION, APPROVED BY UBS BANK USA AND SPECIFIED IN A FEDERAL RESERVE FORM U-1, THE BORROWER AGREES NOT TO USE THE PROCEEDS OF ANY ADVANCE EITHER TO PURCHASE, CARRY OR TRADE IN SECURITIES OR TO REPAY ANY DEBT (I) USED TO PURCHASE, CARRY OR TRADE IN SECURITIES OR (II) TO ANY AFFILIATE OF UBS BANK USA. THE BORROWER WILL BE DEEMED TO REPEAT THIS AGREEMENT EACH TIME THE BORROWER REQUESTS AN ADVANCE. |
D |
THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THAT BORROWING USING SECURITIES AS COLLATERAL (I.E., BORROWING ON MARGIN) ENTAILS RISKS. SHOULD THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES IN THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT DECLINE BELOW THE REQUIRED COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS (COMMONLY KNOWN AS MARGIN REQUIREMENTS), UBS BANK USA MAY REQUIRE THAT THE BORROWER POST ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL, REPAY PART OR ALL OF THE BORROWER’S LOAN AND/OR SELL THE BORROWER’S SECURITIES. ANY REQUIRED LIQUIDATIONS MAY INTERRUPT THE BORROWER’S LONG-TERM INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES (OR OTHER MONETARY AND LEGAL LIABILITY IF THE BORROWER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER OF ANY SUCH SECURITIES). |
E |
Neither UBS Bank USA nor UBS Financial Services Inc., nor any employee or agent of either, provides legal, reporting or tax advice regarding any jurisdiction, and nothing herein shall be construed as providing any such legal, reporting or tax advice. The Borrower acknowledges that the Borrower has sought and obtained legal, reporting and tax advice from its own legal and tax advisors, to the extent that the Borrower deems necessary or appropriate. |
F |
Upon execution of this Credit Line Account Application and Agreement, the Borrower declares that all of the information requested in the Application and supplied by the Borrower is true and accurate and further agrees to promptly notify UBS Bank USA in writing of any material changes to any or all of the information contained in the Application including information relating to the Borrower’s financial situation. |
G |
Subject to any applicable financial privacy laws and regulations, data regarding the Borrower and the Borrower’s securities accounts may be shared with UBS Bank USA affiliates. Subject to any applicable financial privacy laws and regulations, the Borrower requests that UBS Bank USA share such personal financial data with non-affiliates of UBS Bank USA as is necessary or advisable to effect, administer or enforce, or to service, process or maintain, all transactions and accounts contemplated by this Agreement. |
H |
The Borrower authorizes UBS Bank USA and UBS Financial Services Inc. to obtain a credit report or other credit references concerning the Borrower |

(including making verbal or written inquiries concerning credit history) or to otherwise verify or update credit information given to UBS Bank USA at any time. The Borrower authorizes the release of this credit report or other credit information to UBS Bank USA affiliates as UBS Bank USA deems necessary or advisable in order to effect, administer or enforce, or to service, process or maintain, all transactions and accounts contemplated by this Agreement, and for the purpose of offering additional products, from time to time, to the Borrower. The Borrower authorizes UBS Bank USA to exchange Borrower information with any party UBS Bank USA reasonably believes is conducting a legitimate credit inquiry in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. UBS Bank USA may also share credit or other transactional experience with the Borrower’s designated financial advisor or other parties designated by the Borrower. |
I |
UBS Bank USA is subject to examination by various federal, state and self-regulatory organizations and the books and records maintained by UBS Bank USA are subject to inspection and subpoena by these regulators and by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials. The Borrower also acknowledges that such regulators and officials may, pursuant to treaty or other arrangements, in turn disclose such information to the officials or regulators of other countries, and that U.S. courts may be required to compel UBS Bank USA to disclose such information to the officials or regulators of other countries. The Borrower agrees that UBS Bank USA may disclose to such regulators and officials information about the Borrower and transactions in the credit line account or other accounts at UBS Bank USA without notice to the Borrower. In addition, UBS Bank USA may in the context of a private dispute be required by subpoena or other judicial process to disclose information or produce documentation related to the Borrower, the credit line account or other accounts at UBS Bank USA. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that UBS Bank USA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to respond to subpoenas and judicial process as it deems appropriate. |
J |
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When the Borrower opens an account with UBS Bank USA, UBS Bank USA will ask for the Borrower’s name, address, and other information that will allow UBS Bank USA to identify the Borrower. UBS Bank USA may also ask to see other identifying documents. UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Bank USA are firmly committed to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and |
regulations, including those related to combating money laundering. The Borrower understands and agrees that the Borrower must take all necessary steps to comply with the anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations of the Borrower’s country of origin and country of residence, in view of the nature of the Borrower’s transactions under the Credit Line Account Application and Agreement. |
K |
UBS Bank USA and its affiliates will act as creditors and, accordingly, their interests may be inconsistent with, and potentially adverse to, the Borrower’s interests. As a bank and consistent with normal lending practice, UBS Bank USA may take any steps necessary to perfect its interest in the Credit Line, issue a collateral maintenance call (i.e., a margin call) for additional collateral or force the sale of the Borrower’s assets. None of UBS Bank USA or UBS Financial Services Inc. or any of their affiliates will act as Xxxxxxxx’s investment advisor with respect to any such liquidation. In fact UBS Bank USA will act as a creditor and UBS Financial Services Inc. and any other Securities Intermediary will act as a securities intermediary and will act on instructions from UBS Bank USA, which instructions may be inconsistent with, and potentially adverse to, the Borrower’s interests. |
L |
The Borrower understands that, if the Collateral Account is a managed account with UBS Financial Services Inc., (i) in addition to any fees payable to UBS Financial Services Inc. in connection with the Borrower’s managed account, interest will be payable to the Bank on any amount advanced to the Borrower in connection with the Credit Line Account, and (ii) the performance of the managed account might not exceed the managed account fees and the interest expense payable to the Bank, in which case the Borrower’s overall rate of return will be less than the costs associated with the managed account. |
M |
UBS Bank USA may provide copies of any credit line account statements to UBS Financial Services Inc. and to any Guarantor. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that UBS Bank USA may share any and all information regarding the Borrower and the Borrower’s accounts at UBS Bank USA with UBS Financial Services Inc. UBS Financial Services Inc. and any other Securities Intermediary may provide copies of all statements and confirmations concerning each Collateral Account to UBS Bank USA at such times and in such manner as UBS Bank USA may request and may share with UBS Bank USA any and all information regarding the Borrower and the Borrower’s accounts with UBS Financial Services Inc. |

e) | The Borrower consents and agrees that, in connection with establishing the Credit Line Account or approving any Advances to the Borrower, or for any other purpose associated with the Credit Line, the Bank may obtain a consumer or other credit report from a credit reporting agency relating to the Borrower’s credit history. Upon request by the Borrower, the Bank will inform the Borrower: (i) whether or not a consumer or other credit report was requested; and (ii) if so, the name and address of the consumer or other credit reporting agency that furnished the report.

3) | Terms of Advances |
a) | Advances made under this Agreement will be available to the Borrower in the form, and pursuant to procedures, that are established from time to time by the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion. Advances will be made by wire transfer of funds to an account as specified in writing by the Borrower or by any other method agreed upon by the Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Bank will not make any Advance to the Borrower unless the collateral maintenance requirements (i.e., margin requirements) that are established by the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion have been satisfied. |
b) | Each Advance made under a Credit Line will be a Variable Rate Advance unless designated as a Fixed Rate Advance in an Advance Advice sent by the Bank to the Borrower. The Bank will not designate any Advance as a Fixed Rate Advance unless it has been requested to do so by the Borrower (acting directly or acting indirectly through the Borrower’s financial advisor or other agent designated by the Borrower and acceptable to the Bank). |
c) | Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Bank: (i) each Fixed Rate Advance must be in an amount of at least $25,000 or such other amount as the Bank may determine from time to time; and (ii) each Variable Rate Advance taken by wire transfer must be in an amount of at least $2,500. |
4) | Interest |
a) | Each Fixed Rate Advance will bear interest at a fixed interest rate. The interest rate is equal to the sum of (i) the UBS Bank USA Fixed Funding Rate plus (ii) the applicable Percentage Spread set forth in Schedule I. |
Representative interest rates and corresponding Annual Percentage Rates (“APR”) are provided in and below the Interest Rates and Interest Charges summary provided with this Agreement, as of the date indicated on that summary. |
Prior to the date of the Advance, the interest rate and APR will change if the UBS Bank USA Fixed Funding Rate changes, and may increase. The APR is calculated and may change every day. If the APR increases, the required payments will increase. The interest rate, APR, and required payments will be determined for a particular Fixed Rate Advance on the date of that Advance. |
The rates described in this subsection (a) will apply unless the penalty rate is applicable under subsection (c). |
b) | Each Variable Rate Advance will bear interest at a variable interest rate. The interest rate is equal to the sum of (i) the UBS Variable Rate plus (ii) the applicable Percentage Spread set forth in Schedule I. The rate of interest payable on Variable Rate Advances is subject to change without notice in accordance with fluctuations in SOFR Average and in the Approved Amount. On each day that SOFR Average changes or the Approved Amount crosses one of the thresholds that is indicated on Schedule I, the interest rate on all Variable Rate Advances will change accordingly. |
Representative interest rates and corresponding APR are provided in and below the Interest Rates and Interest Charges summary provided with this Agreement, as of the date indicated on that summary. |
The APR will change if SOFR Average changes, and may increase. It may change every day. If the APR increases, the required payments will increase. |
The rates described in this subsection (b) will apply unless the penalty rate is applicable under subsection (c). |
c) | The interest rate, daily interest rate and APR may also vary on each Advance in the event of a default. Any amounts due and not paid on any Advance following an Event, as defined in Section 11 below, will bear interest from the day following the Event until fully paid at the following penalty rates. If the penalty rate is triggered, the amount of interest and the payment amounts will increase. The penalty interest rate is equal to: |
8 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
(i) | For Variable Rate Advances, the sum of (i) the UBS Variable Rate (on each day) plus (ii) the applicable Penalty Percentage Spread set forth in Schedule I. |
The penalty rate of interest payable on Variable Rate Advances is subject to change without notice in accordance with fluctuations in SOFR Average and in the Approved Amount. On each day that SOFR Average changes or the Approved Amount crosses one of the thresholds that is indicated on Schedule I, the penalty interest rate on all Variable Rate Advances will change accordingly. |
Representative penalty interest rates and corresponding penalty APRs are provided in and below the Interest Rates and Interest Charges summary provided with this Agreement, as of the date indicated on that summary. |
For Variable Rate Advances, the APR will change if SOFR Average changes, and may increase. It may change every day. If the APR increases, the required payments will increase. |
Advance notice of the imposition of a penalty rate will be provided to the extent required by applicable law. |
d) | The interest charges are calculated separately for each Advance. To calculate the total interest charge on an Advance for a billing period, the applicable daily interest rate is multiplied by the applicable daily balance for that Advance for each day in the billing period, and then those totals are added together to determine the total interest charge. |
The applicable daily interest rate for a Fixed Rate Advance is equal to the interest rate for that Advance divided by three hundred sixty (360). |
The applicable daily interest rate for a Variable Rate Advance is equal to the |
variable interest rate determined for that day divided by three hundred sixty (360). |
The daily balance of each Advance is determined each day by: (i) taking the beginning balance for that day; (ii) adding any new withdrawals applicable to that Advance on the date of the withdrawal; (iii) adding to the Variable Rate Balance, at the beginning of a billing cycle, the interest charges and any fees attributable to all Advances for the prior billing cycle that were not paid; and (iv) subtracting any payments credited as of that day. A credit balance on any Advance is treated as a balance of zero. |
Each billing period is a calendar month, except that for Fixed Rate Advances with a term of more than one month, the first billing period is the first two calendar months. |
5) | Payments |
a) | Each Fixed Rate Advance that is an Interest Only Advance will be due and payable in full ON DEMAND or (if not earlier due as a result of an Event or a demand by the Bank) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each Fixed Rate Advance that is a Combined Interest and Principal Advance shall be due and payable (if not earlier due as a result of an Event or a demand by the Bank): (i) in equal monthly installments, with each installment in such amount as is sufficient to fully amortize the principal amount of such Advance over the Repayment Period applicable to such Advance; and (ii) in its entirety, ON DEMAND. On or before the last day of its Interest Period, any Fixed Rate Advance that is an Interest Only Advance may be renewed by the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion (and pursuant to such procedures as it may establish), as another Fixed Rate Advance. Any Fixed Rate Advance that is an Interest Only Advance and which is not due as a result of an Event and as to which the Bank has not made a demand for payment and which is not paid in full or renewed as another such Fixed Rate Advance on or before the last day of its Interest Period, will be automatically renewed on that date as a U.S. dollar denominated Variable Rate Advance in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of such Fixed Rate |
9 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
Advance plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Fixed Rate Advance, which Variable Rate Advance will then accrue additional interest at such variable rate as is provided in this Agreement. |
b) | Each Variable Rate Advance will be due and payable ON DEMAND. |
c) | The Borrower promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on such Advance, and any and all fees or other charges payable in connection with such Advance, on the date the principal amount becomes due (whether by reason of demand or the occurrence of a stated maturity date, by reason of acceleration or otherwise). The Borrower further promises to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal balance of each Advance from the date the Advance is made until it is paid in full. Interest on each Advance will be payable in arrears as follows: |
(i) | For Fixed Rate Advances - if the Interest Period is one month or less, then on the last day of the Interest Period. For all other Fixed Rate Advances, on the last day of each calendar month during the Interest Period except the first month, and on the last day of the Interest Period, and on each date that all or any portion of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance becomes due or is paid and |
(ii) | For Variable Rate Advances- on the last day of each calendar month, and on each date that all or any portion of the principal amount of the Variable Rate Advance becomes due or is paid. |
To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting any of the Bank’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, interest charges on any Advance that are not paid when due will be treated as principal in a Variable Rate Advance, and will accrue interest at a rate applicable to such Variable Rate Advance from the date the payment of interest was due until it is paid in full. |
d) | All payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable under this Agreement in connection with any Advance will be made in immediately available funds and in the same currency in which such Advance was made, which, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Bank, will be U.S. dollars. All payments will be made by wire transfer of funds to an account specified by the Bank or by another method agreed upon by the Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any payment, the Bank will credit the same to the Credit Line Account, and not until such time shall the obligation of Borrower (or of any other Loan Party) to make such payment be discharged. The Bank shall apply the proceeds of any payment in the following order: first to billed but non-capitalized interest; second to outstanding fees, including Breakage Costs, Breakage Fees, other fees, costs of collection and expenses; and third to the outstanding principal amount. |
e) | All payments must be made to the Bank free and clear of any and all present and future taxes (including withholding taxes), levies, imposts, duties, deductions, fees, liabilities and similar charges other than those imposed on the overall net income of the Bank. If so requested by the Bank, the Borrower will deliver to the Bank the original or a certified copy of each receipt evidencing payment of any taxes or, if no taxes are payable in respect of any payment under this Agreement, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance and from counsel acceptable to the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion, in either case stating that the payment is exempt from or not subject to taxes. If any taxes or other charges are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, the amount payable will be increased to the amount which, after deduction from the increased amount of all taxes and other charges required to be withheld or deducted from the increased amount payable, will yield to the Bank the amount otherwise stated to be payable under this Agreement. If any of such taxes or charges are paid by the Bank, the Borrower will reimburse the Bank on demand for the payments, together with all interest and penalties that may be imposed by any governmental agency. None of the Bank, UBS Financial Services Inc. nor their respective employees or agents |
10 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
has provided or will provide legal advice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party regarding compliance with (or the implications of the Credit Line and the related guaranties and pledges under) the laws (including tax laws) of the jurisdiction of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other jurisdiction. The Borrower and each Loan Party are, and shall be solely responsible for, and the Bank shall have no responsibility for, the compliance by the Loan Parties with any and all reporting and other requirements arising at any time or times under any applicable laws (including tax laws). |
f) | In no event will the total interest and fees, if any, charged under this Agreement exceed the maximum interest rate or total interest and fees permitted by applicable law. In the event any excess interest or fees are collected, the same will be refunded or credited to the Borrower. If the amount of interest payable by the Borrower on any interest payment date is reduced pursuant to this Section 5(f), the amount of interest payable on each succeeding interest payment date shall be increased to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law until the amount of the reduction has been received by the Bank. |
6) | Prepayments; Breakage Charges |
a) | The Borrower may repay any Variable Rate Advance at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. |
b) | Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(b), the Borrower may repay any Fixed Rate Advance in whole, but may not repay any Fixed Rate Advance in part. |
The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank, immediately upon demand, for any loss or cost (“Breakage Costs”) that the Bank notifies the Borrower has been incurred by the Bank as a result of any repayment of the principal of (i) any Fixed Rate Advance that is an Interest Only Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period for the Fixed Rate Advance (whether voluntarily by the Borrower, or as a result of acceleration, or demand by the Bank, or otherwise) or (ii) any Fixed Rate Advance that is a Combined Interest and Principal Advance, in an amount that is in excess of the then required monthly amortized principal payment amount as specified in the relevant Advance Advice (whether voluntarily by the Borrower, or as a result of acceleration, or demand by the Bank, or otherwise). |
Breakage Costs will be calculated by determining the differential between the UBS Bank USA Fixed Funding Rate, exclusive of liquidity premiums and client spread, for the Interest Period of the Fixed Rate Advance and the prevailing UBS Bank USA Fixed Funding Rate, exclusive of the liquidity premium and client spread, for a period of time equal to the remainder of the Interest Period, then multiplying such differential, expressed as a daily rate differential based on a 360-day year, by the outstanding principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance (or by the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance not taken by the Borrower), and then multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days remaining in the Interest Period of the Fixed Rate Advance. For purposes of the foregoing, any cancellation with a remaining tenor of 4, 6, 8, or 9 years that is not quoted as a U.S. Treasury Yield Curve Rate will interpolate the midpoint between quoted tenors to determine Breakage Costs. |
The Borrower also agrees to promptly pay to the Bank an administrative fee (“Breakage Fee”) in connection with any prepayment. The Breakage Fee will be calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance by two basis points (0.02%) (with a minimum Breakage Fee of $100.00). Any written notice from the Bank as to the amount of the Breakage Costs and/or Breakage Fees will be conclusive absent manifest error. |
7) | Joint Credit Line Account Agreement Suspension and Cancellation |
a) | If more than one Person is signing this Agreement as the “Borrower”, each party (a “Joint Borrower”) shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations, regardless of any change in business relations, divorce, legal separation, or other legal proceedings, and regardless of any agreement that may affect liabilities between the parties. Except as provided below for the reinstatement of a suspended or cancelled Credit Line, and unless otherwise agreed by the Bank in writing, the Bank may rely on, and each Joint Borrower will be responsible for, requests for Advances, directions, instructions and other information provided to the Bank by any Joint Borrower. The Bank may provide notices and other information to either Joint Borrower, and any such notices or information will be binding on all of them. |
11 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
b) | Any Joint Borrower may request that the Bank suspend or cancel the Credit Line by sending the Bank a written notice of such request addressed to the Bank at the address shown on the Borrower’s periodic Credit Line Account statements. Any such notice will become effective three Business Days after the date that the Bank receives it, and each Joint Borrower will continue to be responsible for paying: (i) the Obligations as of the effective date of the notice, and (ii) all Advances that any Joint Borrower has requested but that have not yet become part of the Obligations as of the effective date of the notice. No notice will release or in any other way affect the Bank’s interest in the Collateral. All subsequent requests to reinstate credit privileges must be signed by all Joint Borrowers comprising the Borrower, including the Joint Borrower that requested the suspension of credit privileges. Any reinstatement will be granted or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank. |
c) | All Obligations will become immediately due and payable in full as of the effective date of any suspension or cancellation of the Credit Line. The Borrower will be responsible for the payment of all charges incurred on the Advances after such effective date. The Bank will not release any Loan Party from any of the obligations under this Agreement or any related agreement until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated by the Bank. |
8) | Letters of Credit |
a) | The Borrower may request that one or more Letters of Credit be issued by completing, executing and delivering to the Bank an application in such form as the Bank may specify from time to time. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any such application, this Agreement shall be controlling. The Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated, to issue one or more Letters of Credit in such form and content and with such maturity dates as the Bank may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank such commissions, letter of credit fees and other fees and charges in respect of Letters of Credit as may be agreed upon by the Bank and the Borrower from time to time. |
b) | The Borrower shall reimburse to the Bank the amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit upon the date of such drawing. Such reimbursement obligation of the Borrower in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and absolute notwithstanding, and neither the Bank nor any of its correspondents shall have any liability by reason of, (i) any draft, certificate, bill of lading or other document presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit, including any instrument purporting to transfer or assign such Letter of Credit or any rights thereunder, proving to be forged, fraudulent, inaccurate or invalid in any respect, (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary or any other person or entity, (iii) the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the Bank shall have acted in good faith and shall not have engaged in willful misconduct in connection therewith) or the misapplication of the proceeds thereof by the beneficiary or any other person or entity, (iv) any difference in character, quality, quantity, condition or value of property purporting to be represented by bills of lading or other documents of title from that expressed in such documents, or (v) any other act, omission or circumstance that would, but for the provisions of this paragraph (b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder. |
c) | The Borrower agrees to obtain promptly any import, export or other license required in connection with property to which any Letter of Credit directly or indirectly relates, and agrees to comply with all applicable law and regulations in regard to any shipment, warehousing or financing of any such property. The Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and its correspondents from and against all claims, actions, suits and other proceedings, and all losses, damages and costs (including fees and expenses of counsel) which the Bank or any of its correspondents may suffer or incur by reason of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any act or omission in respect of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. |
12 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
d) | If an Event occurs and is continuing, the Borrower will, on demand by the Bank, pay to the Bank in cash an amount equal to the maximum amount that may at any time thereafter be drawn under all Letters of Credit, to be held by the Bank in such manner as the Bank may determine and applied to the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder (with any excess to be returned to the Borrower, subject to Section 9 hereof, upon expiration of all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of all amounts drawn thereunder). |
9) | Collateral; Grant of Security Interest; Set-off |
a) | To secure payment and performance of the Obligations, the Borrower and each other Pledgor assigns, transfers and pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a first priority lien and security interest in the following assets and rights of the Borrower and each other Pledgor, wherever located and whether owned or existing now or acquired or arising in the future: (i) the Collateral Account; (ii) any and all money, credit balances, certificated and uncertificated securities, security entitlements, commodity contracts, deposits, certificates of deposit, instruments, documents, partnership interests, limited liability company interests, general intangibles, financial assets and other investment property now or in the future credited to or carried, held or maintained in the Collateral Account; (iii) any and all over-the-counter options, futures, foreign exchange, swap or similar contracts between the Borrower and each other Pledgor, on the one hand, and either UBS Financial Services Inc. or any of its affiliates, on the other hand; (iv) any and all accounts of the Borrower and each other Pledgor at the Bank or any of its affiliates; (v) any and all goods, assets or other property in the possession, custody or control of the Bank or any of its agents or custodians, including, without limitation, gold and other precious metals (whether in the form of coins, bars or otherwise); (vi) any and all supporting obligations, general intangibles and other rights ancillary or attributable to, or |
arising in any way in connection with, any of the foregoing; and (vii) any and all interest, dividends, distributions and other proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of proceeds (collectively, the “Collateral”); provided, however, clauses (iv) and (v) of this Section 9(a) shall not be effective with respect to the Borrower (and, for greater certainty, such assets described therein shall not be “Collateral” for the purposes of this Agreement) if and for so long as the Borrower shall simultaneously have a “purpose” and a “non-purpose” loan or loans outstanding with the Bank (as such terms are used under Federal Reserve Regulation U) or with respect to any other Pledgor, if and for so long as such Pledgor shall simultaneously be pledging assets for both a “purpose” and “non-purpose” loan with the Bank. |
b) | The Borrower and if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral, shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Bank to evidence, maintain and perfect the Bank’s first priority security interest in, and to enable the Bank to obtain control over, the Collateral and any additional collateral pledged by the Pledgors, to secure any of the Obligations, including but not limited to making, executing, recording and delivering to the Bank (and the Borrower authorizes the Bank to file, without the signature of the Borrower or any Pledgor where permitted by applicable law) financing statements and amendments thereto, control agreements, notices, assignments, listings, powers, consents and other documents (regarding the Collateral and the Bank’s security interest in the Collateral) in such jurisdictions, and in such forms, as the Bank reasonably may require. Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Bank to act as the Loan Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact and to file any documents, or execute any documents, in the Loan Party’s name, with or without designation of authority. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it will be obligated in respect of such documentation as if it had executed the documentation itself. |
c) | The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral) agrees to maintain in the Collateral Account, at all times, Collateral having an aggregate lending value as specified by the Bank from time to time. For greater certainty, any failure by the Borrower (or, if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral) to satisfy the aggregate lending value specified by the Bank from time to time may result in the Bank issuing a collateral maintenance call (i.e., a margin call) for additional collateral or for the Borrower to repay all or a portion of the Obligations. |
13 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
d) | The Bank’s sole duty as to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession will be to deal with the Collateral in the same manner as the Bank deals with similar property held for its own account. The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral) agrees that the Bank will have no responsibility to act on any notice of corporate actions or events provided to holders of securities or other investment property included in the Collateral. The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral) agrees (i) to notify the Bank promptly upon receipt of any communication to holders of the investment property disclosing or proposing any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, spin-off or other corporate action or event as a result of which the Borrower or Pledgor would receive securities, cash (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other assets in respect of the investment property, and (ii) immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or Pledgor of any of these assets, to cause them to be credited to a Collateral Account or to deliver them to or as directed by the Bank as additional Collateral. |
e) | The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor of Collateral) agrees that all principal, interest, dividends, distributions, premiums or other income and other payments received by the Bank or credited to the Collateral Account in respect of any Collateral may be held by the Bank as additional Collateral or applied by the Bank to the Obligations. The Bank may create a security interest in, and may, at any time and at its option, transfer any securities or other investment property constituting Collateral to, a securities account maintained in its name or cause the Collateral Account to be redesignated or renamed in the name of the Bank. |
f) | The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees that if the Collateral Account has UBS Financial Services Inc. or other Securities Intermediary margin features, the margin features will be removed by UBS Financial Services Inc., and any other Securities Intermediary, so long as there is no outstanding margin debt owing to UBS Financial Services Inc. or any other Securities Intermediary in the Collateral Account. |
g) | If the Collateral Account permits cash withdrawals in the form of check writing, access card charges, bill payment and/or electronic funds transfer services (for example, Resource Management Accounts®, Business Services Accounts BSA®, Basic Investment Accounts and certain accounts enrolled in UBS Financial Services Inc. Investment Solutions programs), then the Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees that the “Withdrawal Limit” for the Collateral Account, as described in the documentation governing the account, will be reduced on an ongoing basis so that the aggregate lending value of the Collateral remaining in the Collateral Account following any withdrawal will not be less than the amount required pursuant to Section 9(c). |
h) | In addition to the Bank’s security interest, the Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees that the Bank will at all times have a right to set off or apply any or all of the Obligations at or after the time at which they become due, whether upon demand, at a stated maturity date, by acceleration or otherwise, against all securities, cash, deposits or other property in the possession of, or at any time held or deposited in any account maintained with, the Bank or any of its affiliates by or for the benefit of the Borrower, whether carried individually or jointly with others and regardless of the currency in which denominated. This right is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any right the Bank may have at law or otherwise. |
i) | The Bank reserves the right to disapprove any Collateral and to require the Borrower at any time to either deposit into the Borrower’s Collateral Account or pledge directly to the Bank additional Collateral in such amount as the Bank requests or to substitute new or additional Collateral for any Collateral that has previously been deposited in the Collateral Account. |
10) | Control |
For the purpose of giving the Bank control over the Collateral Account and in order to perfect the Bank’s security interests in the Collateral, the Borrower and each other Pledgor on the Collateral Account consents to, and hereby authorizes, compliance by UBS Financial Services Inc., and by any other securities intermediary or
14 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
depository institution (each, including UBS Financial Services Inc., being a “Securities Intermediary”), with which any account comprising the Collateral Account is maintained, with entitlement orders and instructions from the Bank (or from any assignee or successor of the Bank) regarding the Collateral Account and any financial assets, cash or other property held therein, without the further consent of the Borrower or any other Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and each Pledgor on the Collateral Account acknowledges, consents and agrees that, pursuant to a control agreement entered into between the Bank and UBS Financial Services Inc., and any other Securities Intermediary, each as Securities Intermediary, to which any account comprising the Collateral Account held by such Securities Intermediary is subject:
a) | The Securities Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders and any other instructions originated by the Bank regarding any Collateral Account without further consent from the Borrower or any other Pledgor. The Securities Intermediary will treat all assets credited to the Collateral Account, including money and credit balances, as financial assets for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. |
b) | In order to enable the Borrower and any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account to trade financial assets that are from time to time credited to the Collateral Account, the Securities Intermediary may comply with entitlement orders originated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account (or if so agreed by the Bank in writing, by an investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account and acceptable to the Bank and the Securities Intermediary) regarding the Collateral Account, but only until the time that the Bank notifies the Securities Intermediary, that the Bank is asserting exclusive control over the Collateral Account. After the Securities Intermediary has received a notice of exclusive control and has had a reasonable opportunity to comply with such notice, the Securities Intermediary shall no longer comply with entitlement orders originated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor (or by any investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor) concerning the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, and irrespective of whether it has received any notice of exclusive |
control, the Securities Intermediary will not comply with any entitlement order originated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor (or by any investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any other Pledgor) to withdraw any financial assets from the Collateral Account or to pay any money, free credit balance or other amount owing on a Collateral Account (other than cash withdrawals and payments not exceeding the “Withdrawal Limit” as contemplated in Section 9(g)) without the prior consent of the Bank. |
11) | Remedies |
a) | If any of the following events (each, an “Event”) occurs: |
(i) | the Borrower fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement; |
(ii) | the Borrower and/or any other relevant Loan Party fails to maintain sufficient Collateral in the Collateral Account as required by the Bank, or any Guarantor fails to maintain collateral as required by the Bank under its Guaranty Agreement or denies or attempts to terminate or challenge the validity of any such Guaranty Agreement; |
(iii) | the Borrower or any other Loan Party breaches or fails to perform any other covenant, agreement, term or condition that is applicable to it under this Agreement or any related agreement, or any representation or other statement of the Borrower (or any other Loan Party) in this Agreement or in any related agreement is incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; |
(iv) | the Borrower or any other Loan Party dies or is declared (by appropriate authority) incompetent or of unsound mind or is indicted or convicted of any crime or, if not an individual, ceases to exist; |
(v) | any voluntary or involuntary proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or |
15 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
liquidation or similar action is commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator or rehabilitator is appointed, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made, with respect to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its property; |
(vi) | the Borrower or any Loan Party is insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they fall due, stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part of its debts, begins negotiations or takes any proceeding or other step with a view to readjustment, rescheduling or deferral of all or any part of its indebtedness, which it would or might otherwise be unable to pay when due, or proposes or makes a general assignment or an arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; |
(vii) | the Collateral Account (or any account in which Collateral provided by a Loan Party is maintained) or any portion thereof is terminated, attached or subjected to a levy or all or any portion of the Collateral is transferred, gifted, assigned or encumbered; |
(viii) | the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to provide promptly all financial and other information that the Bank may request from time to time; |
(ix) | any indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of borrowed money (including indebtedness guaranteed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party) or in respect of any swap, forward, cap, floor, collar, option or other derivative transaction, repurchase or similar transaction or any combination of these transactions is not paid when due, or any event or condition causes such indebtedness to |
become, or permits the holder to declare such indebtedness to be, due and payable prior to its stated maturity, provided, however, if and for so long as the Borrower shall have outstanding with the Bank, simultaneously with the Credit Line hereunder, an additional “purpose” or “non-purpose” loan (as such terms are used under Federal Reserve Regulation U), as the case may be, such that the Borrower shall simultaneously have outstanding both a “purpose” and “non-purpose” loan with the Bank, the term “indebtedness” shall not include any such other “purpose” or “non-purpose” loan, as the case may be; |
(x) | final judgment for the payment of money is rendered against Borrower (or any other Loan Party) and, within 30 days from the entry of judgment, has not been discharged or stayed pending appeal, or has not been discharged within 30 days from the entry of a final order of affirmance on appeal; |
(xi) | any legal proceeding is instituted or any other event occurs or condition exists that in the Bank’s sole judgment calls into question (A) the validity or binding effect of this Agreement or any related agreement, or any of the Borrower’s (or any other Loan Party’s) obligations under this Agreement or under any related agreement, or (B) the ability of the Borrower (or any Loan Party) to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under any related agreement; or |
(xii) | the Bank in its sole discretion otherwise deems itself or its security interest in the Collateral insecure or the Bank believes in good faith that the prospect of payment or other performance by any Loan Party is impaired; |
then, all Obligations will become immediately due and payable (without demand) and the Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, liquidate,
16 of 41
Credit Line Agreement
transfer, withdraw or sell all or any part of the Collateral and apply the same, as well as the proceeds of any liquidation or sale, to any amounts owed to the Bank, including, without limitation, any applicable Breakage Costs and Breakage Fee. The Bank will not be liable to any Loan Party in any way for any adverse consequences (as to tax effects or otherwise) resulting from the liquidation of appreciated or depreciated Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such sale may be made, in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, by public sale on any exchange or market where business is then usually transacted or by private sale, and the Bank or any of its affiliates may be the purchaser at any public or private sale. Any Collateral that may decline speedily in value or that customarily is sold on a recognized exchange or market may be sold without providing any Loan Party with prior notice of the sale. Each Loan Party agrees that, as to all other Collateral, two calendar days’ notice to the Loan Party, sent to its last address shown in the Bank’s account records, shall be deemed reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may occur. Any amounts due and not paid on any Advance following an Event will bear interest at the applicable penalty interest rate, as set forth in Section 4(c). In addition to the Bank’s rights under this Agreement, the Bank will have the right to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect, or under any other applicable law.
b) | Nothing contained in this Section 11 will limit the right of the Bank to demand full or partial payment of the Obligations, in its sole and absolute discretion and without cause, at any time, whether or not an Event has occurred or is continuing. |
c) | All rights and remedies of the Bank under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Bank may have at law or equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest granted herein or the collection of any amount due under this Agreement. |
d) | Any non-exercise of rights, remedies and powers by the Bank under this Agreement and the other documents delivered in connection with this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights, remedies or powers. The Bank fully reserves its rights to invoke any of its rights, remedies and powers at any time it may deem appropriate. No prior demand for full or partial payment, or call for additional collateral or prior notice of the time or place of any sale of Collateral shall be considered a waiver of the Bank’s right to liquidate Collateral without prior demand, call or notice. |
12) | Representations, Warranties and Covenants by the Loan Parties |
The Borrower and each other Loan Party (if applicable) makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Bank (and the Borrower shall be deemed to have repeated each representation and warranty each time the Borrower requests an Advance):
a) | Except for the Bank’s rights under this Agreement and the rights of the Securities Intermediary under any account agreement, the Borrower and each relevant Pledgor owns the Collateral, free of any interest, lien or security interest in favor of any third party and free of any impediment to transfer; |
b) | Each Loan Party: (i) if a natural Person, is of the age of majority, and if a legal Person, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (ii) is authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any related agreement; (iii) is not an employee benefit plan, as that term is defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or an Individual Retirement Credit Line Account (and none of the Collateral is an asset of such a plan or account); and (iv) unless the Loan Party advises the Bank to the contrary, in writing, and provides the Bank with a letter of approval, where required, from its employer, is not an employee or member of any exchange or of any corporation or firm engaged in the business of dealing, either as a broker or as principal, in securities, bills of exchange, acceptances or other forms of commercial paper; |
17 of 41
Credit Line Agreement

Your Billing Rights: Keep This Document For Future Use
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
UBS Bank USA
c/o UBS Financial Services Inc.
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 0xx Floor
Weehawken, NJ 07086 - 6761
In your letter, give us the following information:
– | Account information: Your name and account number. |
– | Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. |
– | Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. |
You must contact us:
– | Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. |
– | At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. |
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
– | Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. |
– | Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct. |
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
– | We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount. |
– | The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. |
– | While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance. |
– | We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. |
Credit Line Agreement
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
– | If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount. |
– | If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. |
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
