from the Commencement Date as is specified in the applicable Loan Schedule.
(b) Procurement, Delivery, and Acceptance. Prior to any
Advance Date, Borrower shall have ordered the personal property that will become Collateral from the Vendor pursuant to one or more Purchase Agreements. Borrower shall be solely responsible for the selection and ordering of the personal property

reimbursement by Lender for the personal property that will become Collateral previously purchased by Borrower.
(c) Obligation to Pay for Personal Property that Will Become
Collateral. Lender may advance such amounts up to $4,600,000 (the “Loan Line”), to purchase any Collateral once all conditions precedent set forth below have been satisfied and subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan
Agreement: (i) with respect to each Advance, Lender and Borrower shall have entered into mutually acceptable loan documentation, including this Loan Agreement, the Loan Schedule; and other ancillary documents and instruments required by Lender,
including sufficiently detailed invoices from the Vendor identifying the personal property that will become Collateral and Collateral Cost (which shall be Appendix A to the Loan Schedule), corporate resolutions and incumbency certificates from

correct, and there shall not exist an Event of Default or any condition, event, or act which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default which has not been remedied or waived, and Borrower shall have fully performed all terms and

4. |
Loan Payment, Taxes and Late Payments: |
(a) Loan Payment. A Daily Loan Payment shall be due during the
Supplemental Loan Term on all Advances made by Lender as requested pursuant to any Request for Advance and shall accrue from the Advance Date with respect to any item of Collateral at the Daily Loan Payment set forth in the applicable Request for
Advance multiplied by the number of days from (and including) the Advance Date to (but not including) the Commencement Date and shall be due and payable on the Commencement Date. The Basic Loan Payment payable hereunder during the Basic Loan Term is
as set forth in the Loan Schedule. Lender and Borrower agree that the Basic Loan Payment described in the Loan Schedule has a corresponding yield relationship to the U.S Treasury obligation and with the closest equivalent maturity as the applicable
Basic Loan Term (“Index Instrument”) as reported in The Wall Street Journal Online on the date of, and quoted in, Lender’s Proposal Letter (or if there is no Proposal Letter, on the date Lender’s investment committee
approves Lender entering into this Loan Agreement or, if applicable, on the date Lender’s investment committee approves any amendment to this Loan Agreement which serves to increase the amount of financing available hereunder), and
consequently, the Basic Loan Payment, Loan Rate Factor, and Balance Due Values Table may be adjusted upward by the Lender on the date of preparation of the Loan Schedule, or alternatively, on the funding date by a Notification of Loan Payment
Adjustment amendment prepared thereafter, to reflect an increase in the reported yield of the Index Instrument over 1.7664%, and downward to provide for a decrease in the yield of the Index Instrument, provided such adjustment shall never be based
on a yield that is less than 1.7664%, and thus reflect such changes in the reported yield of the U.S. Treasury obligation, with the equivalent term of the U.S. Treasury obligation quoted in the Proposal Letter (or the closest term to such original
U.S. Treasury obligation in the event an identical term issue is not reported, and in the event that two or more comparison Treasury obligations are quoted with identical maturities, then with the “Asked” price which is closest to par) in
order to preserve Lender’s anticipated corresponding yield relationship. The Basic Loan Payment shall be fixed as of the date of the Advance and will remain constant through the term of each Loan. Except as may otherwise be provided in any Loan
Schedule, Basic Loan Payment shall begin to accrue on the Commencement Date and shall be due and payable by Borrower on the first day of each period (advance) or the last day (arrears) of each period, as set forth in the applicable Loan Schedule. In
addition to the Basic Loan Payment Borrower shall pay Daily Loan Payment due as indicated in this Loan Agreement, or on any Loan Schedule, or any Rider hereto or thereto. All Loan Payments due by Borrower hereunder is an absolute and unconditional
obligation of
Page 2 of 8
Borrower which may not be abated or offset for any reason whatsoever as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(b) Taxes. In addition to the Loan Payment set forth herein or in
any Loan Schedule, Borrower shall pay and indemnify and hold harmless Lender for an amount equal to all taxes, fees, expenses or charges paid, payable or required to be paid by Borrower, however designated and whenever assessed, which are levied or
based on the Loan Payment, on the Loan, on the Collateral Cost, or on the Collateral or on its purchase, or on its possession, storage, use, lease, operation, control, delivery or value, including as a result of a sale-leaseback or from the Loan
Term expiration, or earlier termination, or from the exercise of any early termination, purchase, or on the Final Payment, or from any conveyance of title to Borrower or Borrower’s designee; including, without limitation, state and local sales,
use, privilege of doing business or excise taxes, taxes based on gross revenue or receipts, any penalties or interest in connection therewith or taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or payable in respect of the foregoing, but excluding solely taxes
based on Lender’s net income. Personal property taxes assessed on the Collateral during the term hereof shall be the sole responsibility of and shall be paid on demand by, Borrower. Borrower agrees to file, all required property tax returns and
reports concerning the Collateral with all appropriate governmental agencies, and, within thirty (30) days thereafter to send Lender confirmation of such filing. Borrower shall provide, on an annual basis, a copy of its property tax report
lists to Lender and hereby certifies that all Collateral subject to property tax has been reported to the proper taxing jurisdiction.
(c) Late Payments. Interest on any past due Loan Payment and
other payments due and payable shall accrue at the rate of l-1/2% per month from the payment due date, or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate allowed by law, then at such maximum rate, and shall be payable on demand. Charges for taxes,
penalties and interest shall be promptly paid by Borrower.
5. |
Installation, Use and Quiet Possession of Collateral: |
(a) Borrower, shall at all times maintain the Collateral in accordance
with the manufacturer’s specifications and in accordance with prudent industry standards and in accordance with this Loan, specifying maintenance and return conditions for the Collateral. Borrower shall use the Collateral solely for business
purposes, in compliance with the covenants and conditions of all insurance policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the Loan. Borrower shall, at all times, during the Loan Term assure that the Collateral is maintained in operation
and service in its original intended use.
(b) Any equipment,
supplies spare or replacement parts or other items not specified in the Loan Schedule which are used on or in connection with the Collateral must meet the specifications of the manufacturer and shall be acquired by Borrower at its own expense. The
Borrower shall at all times use the Collateral in compliance with all laws and regulations of all federal, state, local and foreign authorities having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Borrower will at all times keep the Collateral in its sole
possession and control. The Collateral shall not be moved from the location stated in the applicable Loan Schedule without the prior written consent of Lender (said consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
(d) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may, at its own
expense, make alterations in or add attachments to the Collateral, provided such alterations or attachments do not interfere with the normal and satisfactory operation or maintenance of the Collateral or with Borrower’s ability to obtain and
maintain the maintenance contract required by Section 5(g) hereof. The manufacturer or other organization selected by Borrower to maintain the Collateral (“Maintenance Organization”) may incorporate engineering changes or make
temporary alterations to the Collateral upon request of Borrower. All such alterations and attachments shall be subject to the security interest of Lender, provided that upon an Event of Default, or at the option of Lender, such alterations and
attachments shall be removed by Borrower and the Collateral restored, at Borrower’s expense, to its original condition as of the Acceptance Date
thereof, reasonable wear and tear only excepted, and upon the removal and restoration, the alteration and/or attachment which was made by Borrower shall become the property of Borrower free and
clear of the security interest of Lender.
(e) So long as
there shall not exist an Event of Default, or any condition, event, or act which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default, Lender, any party claiming through Lender (except with respect to obligations or claims Borrower is
obligated to perform), or any Assignee shall not interfere with Borrower’s use or possession of the Collateral during the Basic Loan Term.
(f) Borrower shall, during the term of this Loan, at its expense, keep
the Collateral in commercially reasonable operating order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall make all necessary adjustments, repairs and replacements, and Borrower shall not use or permit the Collateral to be used in any
manner or for any purpose for which, in the opinion of the manufacturer, the Collateral is not designed or reasonably suitable. Borrower will at all times operate, use, and maintain the Collateral as represented by Borrower in its request for
proposal and/or quotes or as otherwise represented herein or in any other instrument or document prepared by Borrower or its agents.
(g) Borrower shall, during the term of this Loan, at its own expense,
maintain each item of Collateral per the manufacturer’s specifications utilizing Borrower’s internal maintenance staff.
(h) Upon an Event of Default, at Lender’s demand, pursuant to
Section 9(b)(ii) hereof, Borrower shall, at its expense, deliver the Collateral and all of the service records and all software and software documentation subject thereto to Lender at the location designated by Lender in the same operating
order, repair, condition and appearance as on the Acceptance Date, reasonable wear and tear only excepted, with all engineering and safety changes prescribed by the manufacturer or Borrower’s Maintenance Organization incorporated therein. At
the time of return, the Collateral must be able to perform the function that it was originally intended to perform without additional maintenance. If any computer software requires relicensing when removed from Borrower’s premises, Borrower
shall bear all costs of such relicensing. Borrower shall, prior to such termination, arrange and pay for any repairs and changes as are necessary for the Collateral to satisfy the return condition stated herein and for the manufacturer or
Maintenance Organization to accept the Collateral under contract maintenance at its then standard rates.
6. |
Borrower Rights and Inspection: |
(a) The Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the
manner in which it may be installed or attached. Borrower shall, at Lender’s request, affix to the Collateral, tags, decals or plates furnished by Lender, indicating Lender’s security interest and Borrower shall not permit their removal or
concealment
(b) Borrower shall keep the Collateral free and
clear of all liens and encumbrances except for Lender’s Lien and liens or encumbrances arising through the actions or omissions of Lender which are not otherwise the obligation of Borrower to clear or satisfy hereunder. BORROWER SHALL NOT SELL,
CONVEY, TRANSFER, PART WITH POSSESSION OF, OR ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBER THIS LOAN OR ANY OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR SUBLEASE THE COLLATERAL, OR SUFFER A CHANGE IN MAJORITY INTEREST OR CONTROL OF ITS OWNERSHIP IN ANY ONE TRANSACTION OR SERIES OF
RELATED TRANSACTIONS, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER (SAID CONSENT NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD). EXCEPT AS PERMITTED HEREIN, ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT. BORROWER SHALL NOT BECOME
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF, OR ENTER INTO ANY MERGER OR ACQUISITION TRANSACTION WITH ANY OTHER ENTITY WHICH RESULTS IN SUCH OTHER ENTITY OBTAINING OWNERSHIP OR CONTROL OF OVER FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE EQUITY OF THE BORROWER, WITHOUT THE PRIOR
Page 3 of 8
WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER (SAID CONSENT NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD). No permitted assignment or sublease shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder.
Prepayment Requirement. In the event Lender in good faith does not give prior written consent to my event set
forth in this Section 6(b), and such event does not constitute a Permitted Transaction, Borrower shall prepay all Loan Schedules entered into under this Loan Agreement in full by paying to Lender the Prepayment Amount equal to the Balance Due
Value as of the Loan payment date immediately preceding the consummation of any event described in this Section 6(b) plus any other amounts outstanding and owed to Lender under each Loan Schedule. Upon receipt by Lender of all amounts due under
all Loan Schedules, Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute such further documents and take such further actions as may be necessary to effect the release of its security interests in the Collateral, including duly executing
and delivering UCC termination statements for filing in any relevant jurisdictions. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to extinguish Lender’s right to indemnifications which by their nature survive the termination of this Loan Agreement or
any Loan Schedule.
(c) Lender or its agents shall have free
access to the Collateral upon twenty-four (24) hours advance notice and any and all records thereto at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection and for any other purpose contemplated in this Loan, provided, however, no such notice
shall be required if an Event of Default or any condition, event, or act which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default has occurred. Such inspections shall be at Lender’s cost and expense, except that once annually during
the Loan Term, or whenever an Event of Default or any condition, event, or act which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default exists, the inspections shall be at Borrower’s cost and expense.
(d) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of all material details
concerning any damage to, or loss of, the Collateral arising out of any event or occurrence whatsoever, including but not limited to, the alleged or apparent improper manufacture, functioning or operation of the Collateral.
Borrower will defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless against any and all suits, judgments, claims, demands and
liabilities of any kind and nature (including without limitation claims relating to environmental discharge, cleanup or compliance, and claims arising out of or in connection with the design, manufacture, possession or operation of the Collateral,
including environmental, product, or strict liability) and all costs and expenses whatsoever to the extent they may be incurred or suffered by Lender or Assignee in connection herewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses), fines, penalties (and other charges of applicable governmental authorities), licensing fees relating to any item of Collateral, damage to or loss or property (including without limitation consequential or special damages to third
parties or damages to Borrower’s property), or bodily injury to or death of any person (including, without limitation, any agent or employee of Borrower). Such indemnities shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration
or termination of this Loan.
8. |
Risk of Loss on Borrower: |
(a) Beginning on the Acceptance Date thereof and continuing until the
Loan is terminated and all obligations of Borrower are performed, Borrower relieves Lender of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or destruction of the Collateral, howsoever caused (including without limitation, accident,
theft, misplacement, condemnation, seizure, forfeiture and abandonment) (“Event of Loss”). During the term of this Loan as to any Loan Schedule, Borrower shall, at its own expense, keep in effect all risk and public liability insurance
policies covering the Collateral designated in each Loan Schedule. The public liability insurance policy shall be in such amount as is reasonably acceptable to Lender. Any increase in the amount of such insurance coverage reasonably requested by
Lender
shall be put into effect on the next succeeding renewal date of such insurance. The all risk insurance policy shall be for an amount not less than the higher of replacement cost of the Collateral
or the Balance Due Value. Lender, its successors and assigns and/or such other party as may be designated by any thereof to Borrower, in writing, shall be named as additional insured and/or loss payees on such policies, which shall be written by an
insurance company of recognized responsibility which is reasonably acceptable to Lender. Evidence of such insurance coverage shall be furnished to Lender no later than the Acceptance Date set forth in the Loan Schedule(s) and, from time to time,
thereafter as Lender may request. Such policies shall provide that no less than thirty (30) days written notice shall be given Lender and any other party named as loss payee prior to cancellation of such policies for any reason. If the Borrower
fails to provide evidence of such insurance or to deliver evidence of renewal of each such policy then Borrower agrees to pay Lender a non-compliance fee equal to 1% of the Collateral Cost for all Collateral covered under this Loan each month until
such evidence is provided to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Leader or any other party named as loss payee as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, so long as a default or Event of Default hereunder exists and is
continuing to negotiate and make claim for, receive payment of, and execute any and all documents that may be required to be provided to the insurance carrier in substantiation of any such claim for loss or damage under said insurance policies, and
to endorse Borrower’s name to any and all drafts or checks in payment of the loss proceeds.
(b) If any item of Collateral is damaged or suffers an Event of Loss,
Borrower shall give to Lender immediate notice thereof and this Loan shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement of Loan Payment. Lender shall determine, within twenty (20) days after the date of occurrence of such damage or
Event of Loss, whether such item of Collateral can be repaired. In the event Lender determines that such item of Collateral can be repaired, Borrower shall cause such item of Collateral to be promptly repaired. In the event Lender determines that
the item of Collateral cannot be repaired, Borrower shall at Lender’s election, either: (i) promptly replace such item of Collateral with equipment of like or better kind, make and model, utility and value free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for Lender’s Lien, and this Loan shall continue in full force and effect as though such damage or destruction had not occurred; or (ii) pay to Lender an amount equal to the Balance Due Value for the item of Collateral
for the Loan Payment due date immediately preceding the Event of Loss and this Loan will terminate as to the item of Collateral suffering the Event of Loss and the Loan Payment under the applicable Loan Schedule shall be reduced thereafter pro rata
by the reduction of the original Collateral Cost of the item of Collateral suffering the Event of Loss. All proceeds of insurance received by Lender, the designated loss payee, or Borrower under the policy referred to in the preceding paragraph of
this Section shall be applied toward the cost of any such repair or replacement so long as Borrower shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder.
9. |
Events of Default and Remedies: |
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence of any one of the following
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:
(i) Borrower
fails to pay an installment of Loan Payment or other payment within five (5) days after the date when the same becomes due and payable.
(ii) Borrower attempts to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, sublet or
part with possession of the Collateral or any items thereof, except as expressly permitted herein.
(iii) Borrower breaches or shall have breached any material
representation or warranty made or given by Borrower in this Loan or in any other document furnished to Lender in connection herewith (provided that any breach of a representation or warranty that has a bearing on the Lender’s credit,
economics, or collateral security considerations under this Loan shall be deemed to be material), or any such representation or warranty shall be untrue or, by reason of failure to state a material fact or otherwise, shall be misleading or any of
the statements or other documents
Page 4 of 8
or information submitted at any time heretofore or hereafter by Borrower to Lender shall be untrue or, by reason of failure to state a material fact or otherwise, shall be misleading to the
extent individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
(iv) Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any of the other
obligations required to be observed or performed by Borrower hereunder and such failure shall combine uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Borrower by Lender or the then Assignee hereof.
(v) Borrower shall be in material breach of or in default under any
lease, loan, or other agreement or obligation at any time executed (i) with Lender in any amount, or (ii) with any other lessor, lender, or other creditor in the amount of $100,000 or more, which results in actual acceleration of
indebtedness.
(vi) Borrower ceases doing business as a going
concern, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or an insolvent, files a petition seeking for itself
any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement under any present or future statute, law or regulation or files an answer admitting the material allegations of the petition filed against it
in any such proceeding, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets or properties, or if it or its shareholders shall take any action looking to its
dissolution or liquidation.
(vii) Within thirty
(30) days after commencement of any proceedings against Borrower seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not
have been dismissed, or if within thirty (30) days after the appointment without Borrower’s consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets and properties, such
appointment shall not be vacated.
(viii) Borrower becomes
the subject matter of, or enters into any Change in Control without the prior written consent of Lender.
(ix) Borrower fails to comply with its insurance obligations under
Section 8 (a).
Any Event of Default shall be deemed material and a substantial impairment of
Lender’s interests for the purpose of this Loan, the UCC, and any other applicable law.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender
may at its option do any of the following: (i) by notice to Borrower terminate this Loan as to any or all Loan Schedules; (ii) whether or not this Loan is terminated as to any or all Loan Schedules, take possession of any or all of the
Collateral listed on any or all Loan Schedules, wherever situated, and for such purpose, enter upon any premises without liability for so doing or Lender may cause Borrower and Borrower hereby agrees, to return said Collateral to Lender as provided
in this Loan; (iii) recover from Borrower any and all past due payments, and, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Balance Due Value of all Collateral calculated as of the Loan Payment date
preceding the date that the event which resulted in the Event of Default occurred, which payment shall become immediately due and payable; and (iv) sell, dispose of, hold, use or lease any Collateral as Lender in its sole discretion may
determine. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to control the timing and negotiate the terms of any re-leasing or re-sale of any or all of the Collateral at a public auction or in a private sale, at such time, on such
terms and with such notice as Lender shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem commercially reasonable.
(c) Mitigation. In the event that Borrower shall have paid to Lender or its Assignee, (as hereinafter defined),
the liquidated damages
referred to in Section 9(b)(iii) above, and Borrower shall have previously returned the Collateral to Lender in accordance with Section 9(b)(ii) above, then Lender or its Assignee shall
pay to Borrower, promptly after receipt thereof, all sale or rental proceeds received from any sale or re-letting of the Collateral during the balance of the Basic Loan Term (after deduction of all unreimbursed damages, costs and expenses incurred
by Lender as a result of the Event of Default; or other sums due Lender by Borrower under the Loan) said amount never to exceed the amount of the liquidated damages paid by Borrower. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, re-lease
or otherwise use or dispose of the Collateral in mitigation of damages to the extent required by law (however, Lender shall not be obligated to give preference to the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral over the sale, lease or other
disposition of similar collateral owned or leased by Lender).
(d) Other Damages. Notwithstanding the exercise by Lender or its
Assignee of any of the remedies found in Section 9(b) above, Borrower shall, in any event remain fully liable for reasonable damages as provided by law and for all reasonable costs of collection and reasonable expenses incurred by Lender or its
Assignee on account of such Event of Default including but not limited to all expenses of selling or leasing the Collateral (including broker’s and sales representative’s fees and commissions), cleaning and repainting, storage costs,
repossession costs, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Borrower hereby agrees that, in any event, it will be liable for any deficiency after any lease or other disposition of the Collateral. The rights afforded Lender hereunder shall
not be deemed to be exclusive, but may be exercised concurrently and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies provided to creditors or lenders under the UCC or otherwise by law or equity.
10. |
