NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof (which the
parties agree are hereby incorporated into and made a part of their agreement
herein), of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of any loans, advances
or other financial accommodations or extensions of credit now or hereafter made
to or for the benefit of any of Borrowers by Bank, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The
term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation" in this Agreement or any Loan Document. Capitalized terms in this
Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth in Section 13. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO IMPART UPON BANK A
DUTY TO ACT REASONABLY AT ALL TIMES.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 CREDIT EXTENSIONS. Borrowers will pay Bank in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions. It is
understood and agreed that all Credit Extensions shall be to or for the account
of Kanbay, and Kanbay shall distribute or use same to or for the account of the
other Borrowers as it determines (subject to the terms and conditions hereof).
2
2.1.1 REVOLVING ADVANCES.
(a) Bank will make Advances to Kanbay not exceeding the Committed
Guaranteed Revolving Line. Advances will be made under the Committed Guaranteed
Revolving Line prior to making any Advances under the Committed A/R Revolving
Line and no Advances will be made under the Committed A/R Revolving Line unless
and until Advances exhausting all of the Committed Guaranteed Revolving Line are
outstanding. Amounts borrowed under the Committed Guaranteed Revolving Line may
be repaid and reborrowed during the Term of this Agreement prior to the
Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, that any amounts outstanding at any
time under the Committed Guaranteed Revolving Line may not be repaid in whole or
in part, unless and until (i) all amounts borrowed under the Committed A/R
Revolving Line AND all amounts borrowed under the Term Loan are fully repaid and
not outstanding, or (ii) all amounts borrowed under the Committed A/R Revolving
Line are fully repaid and not outstanding AND Kanbay has achieved quarterly
profitability on a consolidated basis for two consecutive quarters adequate for
Debt Service Coverage of 2.00X with respect to the Term Loan (herein called
"Required Profitability"), or (iii) Kanbay has raised at least $3,000,000 in new
equity. For purposes hereof, the term "Debt Service Coverage" for any quarter
shall mean (A) Kanbay's consolidated quarterly Earnings before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), divided by (B) the sum of (1) the
current maturities under the Term Loan divided by 4, plus (2) the Interest
Expense for the Term Loan for such quarter.
(b) In addition to Advances made under the Committed Guaranteed
Revolving Line, Bank will make Advances to Kanbay not exceeding (A) the
Committed A/R Revolving Line minus the FX Reserve then being used, or (B) the
Borrowing Base less the amount outstanding under the Term Loan until such time
as Kanbay has achieved Required Profitability, whichever is less, in each case
minus the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but
unreimbursed Letters of Credit). Amounts borrowed under the Committed A/R
Revolving Line may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement
prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.
(c) To obtain an Advance, Borrowers must notify Bank by facsimile or
telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be
made. Borrowers must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the
Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to
Kanbay's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on
instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become
due, in which event the Bank will provide reasonable prompt notice to Borrowers
of such Advance made without instructions. Bank may rely on any telephone notice
given by a Person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.
Borrowers will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to that reliance.
(d) Each of the Committed Guaranteed Revolving Line and Committed A/R
Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are
immediately payable.
2.1.2 LETTERS OF CREDIT. Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for
Borrowers' account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed A/R Revolving
Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
Advances made under the Committed A/R Revolving Line, but the face amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed $250,000.00. Each Letter
of Credit will expire no later than the earlier of (i) one year after the
issuance thereof (i.e. on the first anniversary of the date of issuance
thereof), or (ii) 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, provided
Borrowers' Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation is secured by cash on terms
acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of
this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Letters of Credit will be evidenced by
and issued, pursuant to the Bank's normal application therefor completed by
Borrowers and shall be subject to all customary terms and conditions and
customary fees and charges imposed by the Bank for Letters of Credit.
2.1.3 FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUBLIMIT. If there is availability under the Committed
A/R Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, then Borrowers may enter in foreign
exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrowers commit to
purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one
business day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contract"). Bank will
subtract 10% of each outstanding FX
3
Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is a maximum of
$100,000.00 (the "FX Reserve"). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time
may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX
Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.
2.1.4 TERM LOAN.
(a) Bank will make a Term Loan available to Borrowers on the Closing
Date only. The Term Loan may be used only to pay off and refinance existing
lease/Equipment indebtedness currently owed by Kanbay Inc. to Bank One. The
amount outstanding under the Term Loan will be subject to the Borrowing Base
unless and until such time as Kanbay achieves Required Profitability.
(b) Borrowers will pay thirty (30) equal monthly installments of
principal plus Interest thereon (the "Term Loan Payment"). Each Term Loan
Payment is payable on the 18th day of each month during the term of the Term
Loan. Borrowers' final Term Loan Payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date
includes all outstanding Term Loan principal and accrued interest. Borrowers
will deliver to Bank with the request for the Term Loan an invoice for Equipment
being refinanced.
(c) The Term Loan accrues interest at 2.00 percentage points above
the Prime Rate.
2.2 OVERADVANCES. If Borrowers' Obligations under Sections 2.1.1(b), 2.1.2
and 2.1.3 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Committed A/R Revolving Line or
(ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrowers must immediately pay in cash to Bank the
excess.
2.3 REVOLVING LINE INTEREST RATES; PAYMENTS.
(a) Interest Rate. Advances made under the Committed Guaranteed
Revolving Line accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per
annum rate of 75 basis points (.75 percentage points) above the Prime Rate.
Advances made under the Committed A/R Revolving Line accrue interest on the
outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate one and one-half (1 1/2)
percentage points above the Prime Rate. After an Event of Default, all
Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately
before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the
Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed.
(b) Payments. Interest is payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of
each month. Bank may debit any of Domestic Borrowers' deposit accounts including
Account Number 3300229901 for principal and interest payments then due and
payable or any amounts Borrowers owe Bank. Bank will notify Kanbay when it
debits Kanbay's accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received
after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business
on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest
accrue at the then applicable rate.
2.4 FEES. Borrowers will pay to Bank:
(a) Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of
$30,000.00 is due on the Closing Date; and
(b) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred
through and after the Closing Date when due.
2.5 ADDITIONAL COSTS. If any law or regulation increases Bank's costs or
reduces its income for any loan, Borrowers will pay the increase in cost or
reduction in income or additional expense. Bank agrees that it will allocate any
increased costs among its customers similarly affected in good faith and in a
manner consistent with Bank's customary practice.
2.6 MAXIMUM INTEREST. It is the intention of Bank and Borrowers to comply
with the laws of the State of Illinois, and notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, the
4
Borrowers shall not be required to pay, and Bank shall not be permitted to
collect, any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable law ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or
determined to have been provided for by a court of competent jurisdiction in
this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event (i) the
Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (ii) any Excess
Interest that the Bank may have received hereunder shall be, at the Bank's sole
option, (A) applied as a credit against either the outstanding principal balance
of the Advances or accrued and unpaid interest hereon, (B) refunded to the payor
thereof, or (C) any combination of the foregoing; (iii) the interest rate(s)
provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate allowed
under applicable law, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such
reduction; and (iv) the Borrowers shall not have any action against the Bank for
any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any interest payment or other charge or fee
payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents exceeds the maximum
amount then permitted by applicable law, then to the extent permitted by law,
the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the maximum amount then permitted by
applicable law and the Borrowers shall continue to pay the maximum amount from
time to time permitted by applicable law until all such interest payments and
other charge and fees otherwise due (in the absence of such restraint imposed by
applicable law) have been paid in full.
2.7 LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. Domestic Borrowers shall establish a lock box account
in Kanbay Inc.'s name with Bank by simultaneously herewith executing the Bank's
Lockbox Service Subscriber Agreement (the "lock box agreement") to which
Domestic Borrowers will cause to be deposited all remittances in the identical
form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise.
Domestic Borrowers will notify all customers to remit all payments directly to
said lock box account as provided in said lock box agreement. When any Event of
Default occurs and continues, Domestic Borrowers agree that all payments made to
such lock box or otherwise received by Bank, whether on the Accounts or as
proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, at Bank's sole discretion, will be
the sole and exclusive property of Bank and applied on account of the
Obligations and, if Bank so elects to apply said payments to the Obligations,
after allowing one (1) business day for collection, Bank may credit (conditional
upon final collection) all payments received through the lock box to the account
of Borrowers; and after and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Borrowers and any Affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, agent or other Persons acting for or in concert with Borrowers shall,
acting as Trustee for Bank, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of Bank,
any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payments relating to and/or
proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral that come into their possession or
under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, Borrowers shall remit
the same or cause the same to be remitted to Bank. Borrowers agree to pay to
Bank any and all customary fees, costs and expenses that Bank incurs in
connection with opening, operating and maintaining the lock box and depositing
for collection by Bank any check or item of payment received and/or delivered to
the Bank on account of the Obligations and Borrowers further agree to reimburse
Bank for any claims asserted by any party in connection with the lock box or any
returned or uncollected checks received by Bank as proceeds of the Collateral.
3 CONDITIONS OF LOANS

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrowers grant Bank a continuing security
interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all
Obligations and performance of each of Borrowers' duties under the Loan
Documents. Except for Permitted Liens (other than the liens arising under this
Agreement or other Loan Documents), any security interest granted under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will be a first priority security interest
in the Collateral owned by any Domestic Borrower and located in the United
States. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. If
the Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral
will continue until Borrowers fully satisfy their Obligations. In addition, each
of the Foreign Borrowers agree upon request by the Bank to enter into an
additional agreement or agreements granting Bank a security interest in all
presently existing and later-acquired Collateral owned by such Foreign Borrower
in substantially the form and substance of the grant of security interest
hereunder with applicable changes as required by applicable local law. The grant
of security in the Collateral owned by such Foreign Borrower shall be perfected
in accordance with applicable local law and as provided in said agreement(s) and
shall be accompanied by an opinion or opinions of local counsel furnished by
such Foreign Borrower satisfactory to Bank.
4.2 ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL - STOCK PLEDGE. The payment and performance of the
Obligations are also secured by a certain Stock Pledge Agreement, of even date
herewith, by Kanbay in favor of the Bank, pursuant to which Kanbay pledges all
of the stock of Kanbay Inc. Such pledge shall be perfected by delivery of
possession to Bank of certificates evidencing the stock of Kanbay Inc. together
with stock powers executed in blank as provided in said Stock Pledge Agreement.
In addition, Kanbay agrees upon request at any time by Bank to enter into and
cause any applicable Subsidiary to enter into an additional stock pledge
agreement or agreements in favor of the Bank to further secure the payment and
performance of the Obligations, pursuant to which Kanbay and such Subsidiaries
will pledge all of their stock in the Foreign Borrowers, in substantially
similar form as the said Stock Pledge Agreement with applicable changes required
by applicable local law. The pledge in the stock of the Foreign Borrowers shall
be perfected in accordance with applicable local law and as provided in said
stock pledge agreement(s) and shall be accompanied by an opinion or opinions of
local counsel furnished by Kanbay satisfactory to Bank.

respective Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing in its state or
country of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state or other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except
where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with any Borrower's formations documents,
nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which any
Borrower is bound. No Borrower is in default under any agreement to which or by

Material Adverse Change.

delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor (subject to usual and customary
warranties with respect to such service or property issued by Borrowers in the
ordinary course of business). No Borrower has notice of any actual or imminent
Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible
Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate. Any Inventory is in all material
6
respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is
the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses
granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To Borrowers'
knowledge, each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual
Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no
claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the
rights of any third party.
5.3 LITIGATION. Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or
proceedings pending or, to any Borrower's knowledge, threatened by or against
any Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an adverse decision could reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

financial statements for Kanbay and any Subsidiary delivered to Bank fairly

as they mature.
5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. No Borrower is an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company

credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board
of Governors). Each Domestic Borrower has complied with the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act. No Borrower has violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the
violation of which could cause a Material Adverse Change. None of any Borrower's
or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by any Borrower or any
Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrowers' knowledge, by previous Persons, in
disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance
other than legally. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all

taxes. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals
and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all
notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its
business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.7 SUBSIDIARIES. No Borrower owns any stock, partnership interest or other
equity securities except for Permitted Investments and except for Kanbay's
ownership of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Kanbay Inc., all
(or 99.9%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Kanbay Australia and
Kanbay Europe, and indirect ownership of all (or 99.9%) of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Kanbay HK, and Kanbay Australia's ownership of all

Borrower's business or operations or cause a Material Adverse Change.

audit will be conducted within 45 days after the initial Credit Extension.
6.3 INVENTORY; RETURNS. Borrowers will keep all Inventory, if any, in good
and marketable condition, free from material defects. Returns and allowances

customary practices as they exist at the Closing Date. Borrowers must promptly

will be in a form and with companies that are satisfactory to Bank. All property
policies will have a lender's loss payable endorsement showing Bank as a loss
payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured and
provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days notice before canceling
its policy. At Bank's request, Borrowers will deliver certified copies of
policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy
will, at Bank's option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.
8
Unless Borrowers provide Bank with evidence of the insurance coverage
required herein, Bank may purchase insurance at Borrowers' expense to protect
its interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect
Borrowers' interests. The coverage that Bank purchases may not pay any claim
that any Borrower makes or any claim that is made against any Borrower in
connection with the Collateral. Borrowers may later cancel any insurance
purchased by Bank, but only after providing Bank with evidence that Borrowers
obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Bank purchases insurance
for the Collateral, Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance, including interest and any other charges Bank may impose in
connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the
cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be
added to Borrowers' total outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the
insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrowers may be able to obtain
on their own.
6.6 PRIMARY ACCOUNTS. Domestic Borrowers will maintain their primary
depository and operating accounts with Bank.
6.7 FINANCIAL COVENANTS.
Borrowers will maintain as of the last day of each month, unless
otherwise noted:

consolidated Loss for the quarter ending June 30, 2000 in excess of $250,000.00,
or fail to earn a Profit on a consolidated basis for any subsequent quarter.

and thereafter additional software rights developed or acquired, including
significant revisions, additions or improvements to the software or revisions,
additions or improvements which significantly improve the functionality of the
software, before the sale or licensing to any third party of the software or any
product based on or containing any software. Borrowers will promptly notify Bank
upon any Borrower's filing of any application or registration of any
Intellectual Property rights with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
and Borrowers will execute and deliver any and all instruments and documents as
Bank may require to evidence or perfect Bank's security interest in such

Borrowers' business judgment protect, defend and maintain the validity and
enforceability of the Intellectual Property; (ii) promptly advise Bank in

9 BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank
may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event
of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due
and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower's benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors
for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will
assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to
enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's
rights or remedies;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any
Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for
sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, each
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name,
trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any similar property 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, each
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to
Bank's benefit; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, each
Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse such
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign
such Borrower's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts
against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such
Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about
the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank
determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or
a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to
sign any one or more Borrower's name(s) on any
12
documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's
appointment as Borrowers' attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers,
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions
terminates.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank
may notify any Person owing any Borrower money of Bank's security interest in
the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Each Borrower must collect all
payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the
payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If any Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any
required proof of payment to third persons Bank may make all or part of the
payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any
action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank
Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then
applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an
agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event
of Default.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. If Bank complies with reasonable
banking practices, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the
Collateral and Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping
of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution
in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, or other person.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights
and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of
one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of
Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only
effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND WAIVER. Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties held by Bank on which such
Borrower is liable.
