CARBONITE, INC. LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 11, 2011, by and
between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and CARBONITE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).
RECITALS
Borrower wishes to obtain credit from time to time from Bank, and Bank desires to extend credit to
Borrower. This Agreement sets forth the terms on which Bank will advance credit to Borrower, and
Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Bank.
AGREEMENT
The parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, all capitalized terms shall have the
definitions set forth on Exhibit A. Any term used in the Code and not defined herein shall have
the meaning given to the term in the Code.
1.2 Accounting Terms. Any accounting term not specifically defined on Exhibit
A shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and all calculations shall be made in accordance
with GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Credit Extensions.
(a) Promise to Pay; Use of Proceeds. Borrower promises to pay to Bank, in lawful money
of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions
made by Bank to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit
Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not
for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
(b) Advances Under Revolving Line.
(i) Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement Borrower
may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the
Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, amounts
borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time without penalty
or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section
2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable.
(ii) Form of Request. Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify
Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time (12:00 p.m.
Pacific time for wire transfers), on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such
notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of
Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon
instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without
instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have
become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice
given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof,
and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a
result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to
Borrower’s deposit account.
[May 11, 2011]

2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances at any time
exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to
Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear
interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, as set forth in the Pricing Addendum.
(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the
date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five
percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged
under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the
interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Except as set forth in the Pricing Addendum, interest hereunder shall be
due and payable on the first (1st) calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall,
at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due
shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter
accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any
taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the
entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.
(d) Computation. With respect to Obligations bearing interest at a rate based on the
Prime Rate, in the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate
of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the
Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall
credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or
Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer
of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but
such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of
immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have
been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of
acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for
the period of such extension.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. On the Closing Date, a fee equal to Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000), which shall be nonrefundable and fully-earned upon receipt; and
(b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing
Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.
2.6 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to
Section 13.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain
outstanding or Bank has
any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon
the full and
[May 11, 2011]

final payment and satisfaction, in cash, of all of the Obligations, the deposit of cash collateral
with respect to all contingent Obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties
satisfactory to Bank, and the full and final termination of all of Bank’s obligations and
commitments to make Credit Extensions, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release the
security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this
Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing
security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to
secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.
Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority
security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority
security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Borrower also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer,
assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its Intellectual
Property and not to allow any Lien to exist on any of its Intellectual Property, except in
connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are
outstanding.
4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time
financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically
describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged
hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of
filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment,
including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed
by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in
effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the
request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in
form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security interests in the
Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan
Documents. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise
provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in
addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party
bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an
acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds
such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of
investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights
[May 11, 2011]
4
or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9
of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to
execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create
any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that
Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Bank
specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such
specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower
or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the
specific Obligations are outstanding.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall
have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business
hours but no more than once in any six (6) month period (unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof, to audit Borrower’s
Accounts and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral, all at Borrower’s sole cost and expense,
in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter
relating to, the Collateral.
4.4 Pledge of Collateral. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Bank a
security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all
cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities
declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the
foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date, the certificate
or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of
assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions
governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the
Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may effect the transfer of any
securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of
Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or
its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken
such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s
security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give
consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or
consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the
terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All
such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each Subsidiary is an entity duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized;
Borrower and each Subsidiary are qualified and licensed to do business in any state or other
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be
so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect.
5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the
Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict
with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any
material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by
which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 Collateral. Borrower has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and
its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on

good and merchantable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which
adequate reserves have been made. Except as set forth in the Schedule or as disclosed in writing
from time to time with respect to accounts maintained outside of Bank to the extent expressly
permitted under Section 6.6, none of Borrower’s operating, deposit, investment or securities
accounts, is maintained or invested with a Person other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates.
5.4 Intellectual Property. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property,
except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of
business. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents 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 to Borrower that any part of the
Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent either set forth
on the Schedule or such invalidity, unenforceability or claim could not reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Effect.
5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule,
Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page
hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The

consolidating financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by
Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating
financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of
operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the

recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.

minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA.
No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably
likely to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not
engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Borrower has complied in all material
respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower is in compliance
with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not
reasonably likely to have a

6
Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules
applicable to it, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to
be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected
therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where the
failure to file such returns or pay such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to,
all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business
as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause
a Material Adverse Effect.
5.12 Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party
to, nor is bound by, any inbound license or other agreement, the failure, breach, or termination of
which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or that prohibits or
otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such
license or agreement or any other property.
5.13 Shares. Borrower has full power and authority to create a first lien on the
Shares and no disability or contractual obligation exists that would prohibit Borrower from
pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no
subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or
options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized
and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Shares are
not the subject of any present or threatened suit, action, arbitration, administrative or other
proceeding, and Borrower knows of no reasonable grounds for the institution of any such
proceedings.
5.14 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower
in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such
certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such
certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and
forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be
viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by
fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as

other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to Borrower’s.
(b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such
amounts as are reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a
lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional
loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional insured and
specify that the insurer must give at least twenty (20) days notice to Bank before canceling its
policy for any reason. Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the
policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrower’s option, be payable to
Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property
shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall,
at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations.
6.6 Accounts. Borrower shall maintain, and shall cause all of its Subsidiaries to
maintain, all of its and their depository and operating accounts with Bank and all of its and their
securities and investment accounts with Bank; provided, however, (a) so long as (i)
no Event of Default has occurred that is continuing and (ii) Borrower maintains (at all times from
and after the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date) unencumbered Cash in one or
more deposit accounts with Bank in an amount not less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000),
Borrower may maintain cash and securities in excess of such amount in the accounts outside of Bank
identified on the Schedule, so long as such accounts remain, at all times, subject Bank’s first
priority security interest, pursuant to account control agreements in form and substance
satisfactory to Bank; (b) Borrower’s Subsidiaries may maintain cash and securities the accounts
outside of Bank identified on the Schedule, so long as such accounts (other than accounts of
Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries) remain, at all times, subject Bank’s first priority security
interest, pursuant to account control agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Bank; and
(c) Carbonite China may maintain its accounts outside of Bank that are identified on the Schedule
and such accounts may be maintained without being subject to an account control agreement.
6.7 Financial Covenants. Borrower shall at all times maintain the following financial
and operational ratios and covenants:
(a) Adjusted Net Worth. From and after the date on which the outstanding

active Subscription Agreements, tested as of the last day of each Reporting Period.
6.8 Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) Borrower shall register or cause to be registered (to the extent not already registered)
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the
case may be, those registrable intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter developed or
acquired by Borrower, to the extent that Borrower, in its reasonable business judgment, deems it
appropriate to so protect such intellectual property rights.
(b) Borrower shall periodically, and no less frequently than once each fiscal quarter, give
Bank written notice of any applications or registrations of intellectual property rights filed with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office, including the
date of such filing and the registration or application numbers, if any.
(c) Borrower shall periodically, and no less frequently than once each fiscal quarter, give
Bank prompt written notice of the filing of any applications or registrations with the United
States Copyright Office, including the title of such intellectual property rights to be registered,
as such title will appear on such applications or registrations, and the date such applications or
registrations will be filed.
(d) Borrower shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the
Intellectual Property that is material to its business as determined by Borrower in its reasonable
and good faith business judgment, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to detect infringements
of the Intellectual Property and promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements detected
and (iii) not allow any material Intellectual Property to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to
the public without the written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.9 Consent of Inbound Licensors. Prior to entering into or becoming bound by any
inbound license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available
to the public), the failure, breach, or termination of which could reasonably be expected to cause
a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower shall: (i) provide written notice to Bank of the material terms
of such license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or
financial condition; and (ii) in good faith take such actions as Bank may reasonably request to
obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any Person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A)
Borrower’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to
have a security interest in such license or contract right, and to have the power to assign such
license or contract rights in connection with an enforcement of remedies, that might otherwise be
restricted by the terms of the applicable license or agreement, whether now existing or entered
into in the future, and (B) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any
Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Bank’s rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, so long as Borrower has
made such good faith efforts to obtain such consent or waiver, the failure to obtain the consent or
waiver shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.9.
6.10 Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of any
other provision hereof, in the event Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires any Subsidiary,
Borrower and such Subsidiary shall promptly notify Bank of the creation or acquisition of such new
Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Bank to cause each such
Subsidiary (unless it is an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary) to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower
under the Loan Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the
collateral of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit A hereto), and Borrower (or
any intermediate Subsidiary holding the Equity Interests in such new Subsidiary) shall grant and
pledge to Bank a perfected security interest in the Shares of each such new Subsidiary (whether
foreign or domestic). Within thirty (30) days of Carbonite Canada acquiring any assets or property

reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such
default, so long as Borrower continues to diligently attempt to cure such default, and within such

faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure
period);

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any
one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default described in Section 8.6 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any
Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future
drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled
to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall promptly
deposit and pay such amounts;
(c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms
and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;
(e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so
requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes
Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the
Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of
Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such
premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or
remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower
held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower held by Bank;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for
sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a
license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without
charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as
it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any
Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1,
Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more
contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including
Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the
Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral
without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties
of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit,
Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and
applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
Bank may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
[May 11, 2011]
15
(j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the
Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations
and without regard to the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any
of the Obligations; and
(k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will
be paid immediately by Borrower.
Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a
disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and each of Bank’s designated
officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for
verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b)
endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into
Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any
Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of
Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and
adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle
and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) transfer all or any part of the
Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party to the extent permitted under the Code; (h) file,
in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto,
relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; (i)
after consultation with Borrower, execute and do all such assurances, acts and things which
Borrower is required, but fails to do under the covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents; (j)
take any and all such actions as Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable for the
purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral or any of the rights, remedies,
powers or privileges of Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (k) to sign
Borrower’s name on any documents or Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Bank’s security interest in the Collateral; provided
Bank may exercise such power of attorney to take any of the actions described in clauses (h)
through (k) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. The
appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and
powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully
repaid and performed and all of Bank’s obligations to provide Credit Extensions or other financial
accommodations to Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall have
terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts
owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately
deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with
proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof
of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then
Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of
the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain
insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with
respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall
constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then
applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by
Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver
by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise
prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be
borne by Borrower.
[May 11, 2011]

9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the
Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and Bank may release, modify
or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without
affecting Bank’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to
pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.
9.7 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and
remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by
Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a
waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a
written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Borrower expressly agrees that this Section
9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.
9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives
demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment
and any other notices relating to the Obligations.
10. NOTICES.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure by the Bank to deliver a copy of a notice
or demand to Borrower’s counsel or Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer shall not affect the validity
or efficacy of such notice or demand if otherwise sent to Borrower in accordance with this Section
10. The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by
notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other.
11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of
the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and
Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in the
State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A
CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF
ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES,
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.
12. REFERENCE PROVISION.
12.1 In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect
to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.
12.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy,
dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in
this Section, the “Comerica Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California
in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure
(“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the
resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except
as otherwise provided in the Comerica Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the
Superior Court in the County where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or
in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).
12.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure
of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary,
provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of
possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit
the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses
(i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described
in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the
right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.
12.4 The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of
the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any
party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the
Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex
parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte
relief is not granted.
[May 11, 2011]
18
12.5 The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference
proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods
specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if
practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of
the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter
has been submitted for decision.
12.6 The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The
referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s
failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based
upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery,
depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other
discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to
discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision
shall be final and binding.
12.7 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner
in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order
of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the
reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial,
shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court
reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided
a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to
arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the
prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at
trial.
12.8 The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case
law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to
proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The
referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that
will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court
proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The
referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all
claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision
shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had
been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties
reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or
order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of
laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different
judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
12.9 If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and
no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be
determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration
will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act
§1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to
discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
12.10 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED
UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR
HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS
REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING
OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER COMERICA DOCUMENTS.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all Persons who
become bound as a
19

[May 11, 2011] |
debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder
may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or
withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to
Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any
interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.
13.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its
officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities
claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the Collateral or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses
in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of
or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower
whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees
and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth
in this Agreement.
13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from
every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of
any specific provision.
13.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
13.6 Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to or terminations of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents must be in writing signed by the parties. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged
into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the
same Agreement.
13.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any
obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank
with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2
shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may
be brought against Bank have run.
13.9 Confidentiality. In handling any information identified by Borrower as confidential
information, Bank and all employees and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that
Bank exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the
confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this
Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or
Affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with
Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of , or participants in, any interest in
the Obligations, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or
similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar
investigation of Bank, (v) to Bank’s accountants, auditors and regulators, and (vi) as Bank may
determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.
Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public
domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the
public domain
after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party,
provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing
such information.

EXHIBIT F
PRIME REFERENCED RATE ADDENDUM
PRIME REFERENCED RATE ADDENDUM TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Prime Referenced Rate Addendum to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Addendum”) is
entered into as of May 11, 2011, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and Carbonite, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). This Addendum supplements the terms of the Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Borrower and Bank (as the same may be amended,
modified, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, collectively, the “Agreement”).
1. Definitions. As used in this Addendum, the following terms shall have the following meanings.
Initially capitalized terms used and not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Agreement.
a.
“Applicable Margin” means one percent (1.00%) per annum.
b. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day designated as
a holiday under Federal or applicable State statute or regulation, on which Bank is open for all or
substantially all of its domestic and international business (including dealings in foreign
exchange) in San Jose, California, and, in respect of notices and determinations relating the Daily
Adjusting LIBOR Rate, also a day on which dealings in dollar deposits are also carried on in the
London interbank market and on which banks are open for business in London, England.
c. “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal
to the quotient of the following:
| (1) | for any day, the per annum rate of interest determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one (1) month appearing on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service as of 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the event that such rate does not appear on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service (or otherwise on such Service) on any day, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be determined by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying eurodollar rates as may be reasonably selected by Bank, or in the absence of such other service, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall, instead, be determined based upon the average of the rates at which Bank is offered dollar deposits at or about 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical), on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, in the interbank eurodollar market in an amount comparable to the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and for a period equal to one (1) month; | ||
| divided by | |||
| (2) | 1.00 minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) on such day at which Bank is required to maintain reserves on “Euro-currency Liabilities” as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or, if such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as Bank is required to maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which includes eurodollar deposits or includes a category of assets which includes eurodollar loans, the rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained on such category. |
d. “LIBOR Lending Office” means Bank’s office located in the Cayman Islands, British West
Indies, or such other branch of Bank, domestic or foreign, as it may hereafter designate as its
LIBOR Lending Office by notice to Borrower.
-1-
e. “Prime Rate” means the per annum interest rate established by Bank as its prime rate for
its borrowers, as such rate may vary from time to time, which rate is not necessarily the lowest
rate on loans made by Bank at any such time.
e. “Prime Referenced Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the
Prime Rate in effect on such day, but in no event and at no time shall the Prime Referenced Rate be
less than the sum of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for such day plus two and one-half percent
(2.50%) per annum. If, at any time, Bank determines that it is unable to determine or ascertain the
Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for any day, the Prime Referenced Rate for each such day shall be the
Prime Rate in effect at such time, but not less than two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum.
2. Interest Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum, the Obligations under the
Agreement shall bear interest at the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
3. Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of the Obligations
outstanding under the Agreement shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each
month, until maturity (whether as stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the event that
any payment under this Addendum becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the
due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent
applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the
rates set forth in this Addendum. Interest accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such
computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest rate as a result of any
change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change.
4. Bank’s Records. The amount and date of each advance under the Agreement, its applicable interest
rate, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records
shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, any failure by Bank
to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve Borrower of its
obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this
Addendum and the Agreement, when due in accordance with the terms hereof.
5. Default Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and for so long
as any such
Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under the
Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate of five percent (5%) above the otherwise
applicable interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the
foregoing, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment hereunder may be
charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after the payment due
date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default under the Agreement. In no event shall the interest payable under this Addendum
and the Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
6. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Obligations at any
time without premium or penalty. Any prepayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment
of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the foregoing shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict, or otherwise affect
Bank’s right to make demand for payment of all or any part of the Obligations under the Agreement
due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.
7. Regulatory Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate.
a. If the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any
applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall subject Bank to any tax, duty or other
charge with respect to this Addendum or any Obligations under the Agreement, or shall change the
basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest under this Addendum or any
other amounts due under this Addendum in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which
Bank’s
-2-
principal executive office or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or (b) shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign exchange and
interbank markets any other condition affecting this Addendum or the Obligations hereunder; and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the
Obligations hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this
Addendum by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within
fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A
certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank
to Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
b. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or
foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or
directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based
capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of
such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or
the maintaining of any Obligations hereunder, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate
of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such
obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or
such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to Bank,
within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such
compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling
corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank
reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of the Bank hereunder or
to maintaining any Obligations hereunder. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such
compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by Bank to
the undersigned, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
8. Legal Effect. Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the
Agreement remain in full force and effect.
9. Conflicts. As to the matters specifically the subject of this Addendum, in the event of any
conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control.
