LOAN AGREEMENT
(Revolving Line, Equipment Line and Term Loan)
(Sterling, Euro and United States Dollars)
This LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of 18 January 2012 (the “Effective Date”) as amended and restated on 31 January 2013 (the “First Amendment and Restatement Date”), as further amended and restated on 15 July 2014 (the “Second Amendment and Restatement Date”) and as further amended and restated on 22 May 2015 (the “Third Amendment and Restatement Date”), between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation, through its United Kingdom branch located at 00 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX (“Bank”) and (i) MIMECAST SERVICES LIMITED (the “UK Borrower”), a company registered under the laws of England and Wales under company number 04901524 whose registered office is at 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX; and (ii) MIMECAST NORTH AMERICA, INC. (the “US Borrower”) a Delaware corporation with offices at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX, XXX, 00000, XXX (the UK Borrower and US Borrower are jointly and severally liable and are hereinafter together referred to as “Borrower” and each a “Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall extend credit to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules attached thereto. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document. Capitalised terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Clause 13.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Availability of Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Revolving Advances in Sterling, United States Dollars and/or Euros, as requested by Borrower, not exceeding in aggregate the lower of (i) the Revolving Line Availability Amount and (ii) the Advance Rate calculated by Bank. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.
(b) Repayment. The principal amount of each United States Dollar Revolving Advance, each Sterling Revolving Advance and each Euro Revolving Advance shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Line Maturity Date. Any amount borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and reborrowed without penalty or premium, except as described in Clause 3.5. The
10
Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Revolving Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.
(c) Overadvances - Revolving Line. If, at any time, the aggregate of the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Advances exceeds the Revolving Line Availability Amount, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank such cash excess.
Notwithstanding the above or any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, if an overadvance under the Revolving Line is caused solely as a result of fluctuations in the currency or currencies in which Revolving Advances were made (the “Exchange Rate Caused Revolving Line Overadvance Amount”), Borrower shall only be required to immediately repay such Exchange Rate Caused Revolving Line Overadvance Amount to the extent that the Exchange Rate Caused Revolving Line Overadvance Amount is more than five per cent. (5%) of the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the amount available pursuant to the Advance Rate, (in which case such payment need only be in an amount necessary to make the Exchange Rate Caused Revolving Line Overadvance Amount less than or equal to five per cent. (5%) of the sum of the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the amount available pursuant to the Advance Rate). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Bank shall have no obligation to make any new Credit Extensions at any time that there is an overadvance, regardless of whether there is a repayment required pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.2 Equipment Advances.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Availability Period, Bank shall make advances in Sterling and United States Dollars, as requested by Borrower (each, an “Equipment Advance” and, collectively, “Equipment Advances”) not exceeding in aggregate the Equipment Line. Equipment Advances may only be used to finance Eligible Equipment purchased within ninety (90) days (determined based upon the applicable invoice date of such Eligible Equipment) before the date of each Equipment Advance save that the Initial Equipment Advance may be used to finance Eligible Equipment purchased at any time after 1 January 2011. All Eligible Equipment must have been new when purchased by Borrower, except for such Eligible Equipment that is disclosed in writing to Bank by Borrower, prior to being financed by Bank, and that Bank in its sole discretion has agreed to finance. No Equipment Advance may exceed one hundred per cent. (100%) of the total invoice for Eligible Equipment (excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expenses relating to such Eligible Equipment except to the extent such are allowed to be financed pursuant hereto as Other Equipment). Unless otherwise agreed to by Bank, not more than twenty-five per cent. (25%) of the proceeds of the Equipment Line shall be used to finance Other Equipment. The minimum amount of each Equipment Advance shall be Five Hundred Thousand pounds Sterling (£500,000) (or the equivalent amount in United States Dollars). Borrower may only request five (5) Equipment Advances hereunder. After repayment, no Equipment Advance may be reborrowed.
(b) Repayment. Each Equipment Advance shall amortise and be payable in 36 equal payments of principal beginning on the first Business Day of the first calendar month falling twelve months after the First Amendment and Restatement Date and continuing on the
11
first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and interest on each Equipment Advance and all other Obligations relating to the Equipment Advances shall be due on the applicable Equipment Maturity Date.
(c) Prepayment Upon an Event of Loss. Borrower shall bear the risk of any loss, theft, destruction, or damage of or to the Financed Equipment. If, during the term of this Agreement, any item of Financed Equipment becomes obsolete or is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason for a period ending beyond the Equipment Maturity Date with respect to such Financed Equipment (an “Event of Loss”), then within ten (10) days following such Event of Loss, Borrower shall (i) pay to Bank on account of the Obligations all accrued interest to the date of the prepayment, plus outstanding principal owing with respect to the Financed Equipment subject to the Event of Loss; or (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrower’s option, repair or replace any Financed Equipment subject to an Event of Loss provided the repaired or replaced Financed Equipment is of equal or like value to the Financed Equipment subject to an Event of Loss and provided further that Bank has a first priority perfected security interest constituting a fixed charge in such repaired or replaced Financed Equipment. Any partial prepayment of an Equipment Advance paid by Borrower on account of an Event of Loss shall be applied to prepay amounts owing for such Equipment Advance in inverse order of maturity.
(d) Prepayment.
(i) Voluntary - At Borrower’s option, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Equipment Advances advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (a) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Equipment Line at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (b) pays, on the date of the prepayment (i) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to Equipment Advances through the date the prepayment is made; (ii) all unpaid principal with respect to the Equipment Advances; (iii) the Equipment Line Early Termination Fee; and (iv) all sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to the Equipment Line.
(ii) Involuntary - If the Equipment Advances have become due and payable according to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Bank on the date that the Equipment Advances become due and payable according to the terms hereof, in addition to any accrued interest and any other sums owing, the Equipment Line Early Termination Fee, and such Equipment Line Early Termination Fee shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.
2.1.3 Term Loan.
(a) Availability. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrower in an amount not exceeding the Tranche 1 Term Loan Amount in Sterling, within 10 Business Days of the First Amendment and Restatement Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Tranche 1 Term Loan Amount was fully drawn down. Bank shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrower in an
12
amount not exceeding the Tranche 2 Term Loan Amount in Sterling, within 10 Business Days of the Second Amendment and Restatement Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Repayment. The Tranche 1 Term Loan shall amortise and be payable in 36 equal payments of principal beginning on the first Business Day of the first calendar month falling twelve months after the First Amendment and Restatement Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and interest on the Term Loan and all other Obligations relating to the Tranche 1 Term Loan shall be due on the Tranche 1 Term Loan Maturity Date. The Tranche 2 Term Loan Amount shall amortise and be payable in 36 equal payments of principal beginning on the first Business Day of the first calendar month falling six months after the Second Amendment and Restatement Date (the period from the Second Amendment and Restatement Date to the end of such six month period the “Tranche 2 Interest-Only Period”) and continuing on the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter PROVIDED THAT, should Borrower provide evidence satisfactory to Bank that it has raised a minimum of Thirty Million United States Dollars ($30,000,000) of new equity during the Tranche 2 Interest-Only Period then such interest-only period shall be extended from six to twelve months (“Tranche 2 Interest-Only Extension”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and interest on the Tranche 2 Term Loan Amount and all other Obligations relating to the Tranche 2 Term Loan shall be due on the Tranche 2 Term Loan Maturity Date.
(c) Prepayment.
(i) Voluntary - At Borrower’s option, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (a) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (b)pays, on the date of the prepayment (i) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan through the date the prepayment is made; (ii) all unpaid principal with respect to the Term Loan; (iii) the Term Loan Prepayment Fee; and (iv) all sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to the Term Loan.
(ii) Involuntary - If the Term Loan have become due and payable according to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Bank on the date that the Term Loan become due and payable according to the terms hereof, in addition to any accrued interest and any other sums owing, the Term Loan Prepayment Fee, and such Term Loan Prepayment Fee shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.
2.2 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
(a) Interest Rate.
(i) Revolving Advances. Subject to Clause 2.2(b):
(A) each Sterling Revolving Advance shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the Base Rate plus 3.50% and (2) 4.00%;
13
(B) each United States Dollar Revolving Advance shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the Prime Rate plus 0.75% and (2) 4.00%; and
(C) each Euro Revolving Advance shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (1) the Euro Base Rate plus 3.75% and (2) 4.00%.
(ii) Equipment Advances. Subject to Clause 2.2(b), each Equipment Advance shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.50% per annum.
(iii) Term Loan. Subject to Clause 2.2(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.50% per annum.
(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at three per cent. (3.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Bank otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Clause 2.2(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate, the Base Rate or the Euro Base Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate, the Base Rate or the Euro Base Rate and to the extent of any such change.

In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Interest on Credit Extensions made in Sterling is computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on Credit Extensions made in United States Dollars or Euros is computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit or operating accounts for principal and interest payments when due, or any other amounts Borrower owes to Bank shall promptly notify Borrower after it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set off.

Payments received after 12:00 noon London, UK time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

14
2.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:
(a) Arrangement Fee.
A fully earned, non-refundable arrangement fee in respect of the Equipment Line of Forty Thousand pounds Sterling (£40,000) due and payable on the Effective Date, payment of which is acknowledged by Bank.
(b) Unused Facility Fee. A fee (the “Unused Facility Fee”), payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum, on the aggregate average unused portion of the Revolving Line. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall equal the difference between (x) the Revolving Line amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of the Unused Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Clause notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans or advances hereunder.
(c) Early Termination Fees.
(i) Revolving Line. A termination fee in an amount equal to one per cent. (1.00%) of the Revolving Line (the “Revolving Line Early Termination Fee”) if all or any part of the Revolving Line is voluntarily terminated by Borrower prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date for any reason, or involuntarily terminated as a result of an Event of Default. The Revolving Line Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Revolving Line Early Termination Fee if Bank agrees to refinance and re-document, or transfer, this Agreement under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and no Event of Default exists at such time.

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Clause 8.5 or 8.6 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between 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 and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify and/or collect the amounts owed by such account debtors. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Bank, and, if requested by Bank, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall 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 Security Interest which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. 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 towards the discharge of the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of 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 hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or
35
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 Clause, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
(i) exercise any rights and remedies available to Bank under the Security Document or applicable law.
9.2 Bank Expenses. Any Bank Expenses are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.3 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral 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. The Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.4 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 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 hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.5 Demand Waiver. 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 guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
9.6 Withholding; Gross-up. All payments to be made by Borrower under this Agreement, whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall (save insofar as required by law to the contrary) be paid in full without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding or payment for or on account of any Taxes that may be imposed in the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction from which payment may be made by Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower shall be required by law to effect any deduction or withholding or payment as aforesaid from or in connection with any payment made under this Agreement for the account of Bank then:
(a) Borrower shall promptly notify Bank upon becoming aware of the relevant requirements to deduct any such deduction or withholding or payment;
36
(b) Borrower shall ensure that such deduction or withholding or payment does not exceed the minimum legal liability therefor, shall remit the amount of such Tax to the appropriate Taxation authority and shall forthwith pay to Bank such additional amount as will result in the immediate receipt by Bank of the full amount which would otherwise have been receivable hereunder had no such deduction or withholding or payment been made; and
(c) Borrower shall not later than fifty (50) days after each deduction or withholding or payment of any Taxes forward to Bank documentary evidence reasonably required by Bank in respect of the payment of any such Taxes.

(b) UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of Bank with HM Revenue & Customs within thirty (30) days of this Agreement and shall promptly thereafter provide Bank with a copy of that filing followed by a copy of the approval when received.
9.8 Power of Attorney. Borrower, as security for the discharge of the Obligations, hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any cheques or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Security Interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s 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.
9.9 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Clause 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
