LOAN AGREEMENT (INDIVIDUALS)
AND
AMENDMENTS 1 - 7 THERETO
LOAN AGREEMENT
(INDIVIDUALS)
This Agreement dated as of January 27, 1994, is between [REDACTED] (the
"Bank") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Borrower").
1. LINE OF CREDIT, AMOUNT AND TERMS.
1.1 LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT.
(a) During the availability period described below, the Bank will
provide a line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit (the
"Commitment") is the lesser of:
(i) Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) or
(ii) [REDACTED]% of the fair market value of the Collateral (as
defined in Article 2).
If on any date the total amount of principal outstanding under the line of
credit exceeds this limit, the Borrower, within 10 days after such date, will
ensure that additional acceptable collateral is pledged to the Bank, or will
reduce the total amount outstanding in order to comply with this limit. If any
of the pledged assets are margin stock, the Borrower will provide the Bank a
Form U-1 Purpose Statement, and the Bank and the Borrower will comply with the
restrictions imposed by Regulation U of the Federal Reserve.
This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the
Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.
Each advance must be for at least [REDACTED] Dollars ($[REDACTED]), or for the
amount of the remaining available line of credit, if less.
1.2 AVAILABILITY PERIOD. The line of credit is available between the date
of this Agreement and January 27, 1996 (the "Expiration Date") unless the
Borrower is in default.
1.3 INTEREST RATE. Unless the Borrower elects an optional interest rate
as described below, the interest rate is the Bank's Reference Rate. The
Reference Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by
the Bank in San Francisco, California as its Reference Rate. The Reference Rate
is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank's costs and
desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a
reference point for pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its
customers at, above, or below the Reference Rate. Any change in the Reference
Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the
public announcement of a change in the Bank's Reference Rate.
1.4 REPAYMENT TERMS. The Borrower will pay interest on April 1, 1994, and
then on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter until payment in full
of any principal outstanding under this line of credit. The Borrower will repay
in full all principal and any unpaid interest or other charges outstanding under
this line of credit no later than the Expiration Date.
1.5 OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES. Instead of the interest rate based on the
Bank's Reference Rate, the Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the
line of credit (during the availability period) bear interest at the rate(s)
described below during an interest period agreed to by the Bank and the
Borrower. Each interest rate is a rate per year. Interest will be paid on the
last day of each interest period, and, if the interest period is longer than
ninety (90) days, then on the first day of each calendar quarter during the
interest period. At the end of any interest period, the interest rate will
revert to the rate based on the Reference Rate, unless the Borrower has
designated another optional interest rate for the portion. Upon the occurrence
of an event of default under this Agreement, the Bank may terminate the
availability of optional interest rates for interest periods commencing after
the default occurs until the default is remedied.
1.6 OFFSHORE RATE. The Borrower may elect to have all or portions of the
principal balance of the line of credit bear interest at the Offshore Rate plus
[REDACTED] percentage point.
Designation of an Offshore Rate portion is subject to the following
requirements:
(a) The interest period during which the Offshore Rate will be in
effect will be one year or less. The last day of the interest period will be
determined by the Bank using the practices of the offshore dollar inter-bank
market.
(b) Each Offshore Rate portion will be for an amount not less than
[REDACTED] Dollars ($[REDACTED]) for interest periods of 30 days or longer. For
shorter maturities, each Offshore Rate portion will be for an amount which, when
multiplied by the number of days in the applicable interest period, is not less
than [REDACTED] ([REDACTED]) dollar-days.
(c) No more than 7 different Offshore Rate portions may be
outstanding at any one time.
(d) The "Offshore Rate" means the interest rate determined by the
following formula, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All
amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of
the interest period.)
Grand Cayman Rate
Offshore Rate = --------------------------
(1.00 - Reserve Percentage)
Where,
(i) "Grand Cayman Rate" means the interest rate (rounded upward
to the nearest 1/16th of one percent) at which the Bank's Grand Cayman Branch,
Grand Cayman, British West Indies, would offer U.S. dollar deposits for the
applicable interest period to other major banks in the offshore dollar inter-
bank market.
(ii) "Reserve Percentage" means the total of the maximum reserve
percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the
Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal
Reserve Board Regulation D,
2
rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. The percentage will be
expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal,
emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.
(e) The Borrower may not elect an Offshore Rate with respect to any
portion of the principal balance of the line of credit which is scheduled to be
repaid before the last day of the applicable interest period.
(f) Any portion of the principal balance of the line of credit
already bearing interest at the Offshore Rate will not be converted to a
different rate during its interest period.
(g) Each prepayment of an Offshore Rate portion, whether voluntary,
by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of
accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee equal to the amount
(if any) by which
(i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the
amount prepaid had it not been paid until the last day of the interest period,
exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank
by placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the offshore dollar market for a
period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the last day
of the interest period for such portion.
(h) The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for an
Offshore Rate portion if any of the following described events has occurred and
is continuing:
(i) Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods
equal to the interest period, of an offshore Rate portion are not available in
the offshore Dollar inter-bank market; or
(ii) the Offshore Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of an
Offshore Rate portion.
2. COLLATERAL.
The Borrower's obligations to the Bank under this Agreement will be
initially secured by [REDACTED] shares of common stock of Oracle Systems
Corporation owned by the Borrower (the "Collateral"). The Collateral is further
described in the security agreement executed by the Borrower.
3. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
3.1 REQUESTS FOR CREDIT. Each request for an extension of credit will be
made in writing in a manner acceptable to the Bank, or by another means
acceptable to the Bank.
3.2 DISBURSEMENTS AND PAYMENTS. Each disbursement by the Bank and each
payment by the Borrower will be made at, and for the account of, the Bank's
branch (or other location) selected by the Bank from time to time. Each such
disbursement and payment will be made in
3
immediately available funds, or such other type of funds selected by the
Bank, and evidenced by records kept by the Bank.
3.3 TELEPHONE AUTHORIZATION. The Bank may honor telephone instructions
for advances or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates
given by the Borrower, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or any other person or
persons authorized in writing by the Borrower. Advances will be deposited in
and repayments will be withdrawn from the Borrower's account number [REDACTED].
The Borrower indemnities and excuses the Bank (including its officers,
employees, and agents) from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with
any act resulting from telephone instructions it reasonably believes are made by
the Borrower, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or any other individual
authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This indemnity and excuse
will survive this Agreement's termination.
3.4 BANKING DAYS. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking
day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in California. For amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if
any), a banking day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank
is open for business in California and dealing in offshore dollars. All
payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking
day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which
is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.
3.5 INTEREST CALCULATION. All interest based on the Offshore Rate will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.
All interest based on the Reference Rate will be computed on the basis of a 365-
day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
3.6 INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS. At the Bank's sole option in each
instance, any amount not paid when due under this Agreement (including interest)
shall bear interest from the due date at the Bank's Reference Rate. This may
result in compounding of interest.
4. CONDITIONS.
The Bank must receive the following items, in form and content acceptable
to the Bank, before it is required to extend any credit to the Borrower under
this Agreement:
4.1 SECURITY AGREEMENTS. Signed original security agreements and
assignments (together with the Collateral), which the Bank requires.
4.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower's most recent annual financial
statements. These financial statements may be Borrower-prepared.
4.3 OTHER ITEMS. Any other items that the Bank reasonably requires.
4
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
When the Borrower signs this Agreement, and until the Bank is repaid in
full, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties. Each
request for an extension of credit constitutes a renewed representation:

agreement, or obligation by which the Borrower is bound.
5.2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. All financial and other information that has
been or will be supplied to the Bank is sufficiently complete to give the Bank

5.3 COLLATERAL. All collateral required in this Agreement is owned by the
grantor of the security interest free of any title defects or any liens or
interests of others.

lapse of time or both would be, a default under this Agreement.
6. COVENANTS.
The Borrower agrees, so long as credit is available under this Agreement

6.1 USE OF FIRST ADVANCE. To use the proceeds of the first advance under

substantial dispute which may affect the Borrower's property, if such lawsuit or
dispute could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Borrower's financial condition or ability to repay this line of credit.

6.4 PERFECTION OF LIENS. To help the Bank perfect and protect its
security interests and liens, and reimburse it for related costs it incurs to
protect its security interests and liens.
7. DEFAULT.
If any of the following events occur, the Bank may do one or more of the

available to the Borrower, and require the Borrower to repay its entire debt
immediately and without prior notice. If an event of default occurs under the
paragraph entitled "Bankruptcy," below, with respect to the Borrower, then the
entire debt outstanding under this Agreement will automatically be due
immediately.
7.1 FAILURE TO PAY. The Borrower fails to make a payment under this
Agreement within 10 days after the date when due. It is provided that if the
Bank, as a result of a default under this paragraph, decides to stop making any

its entire debt to the Bank, the Bank will give 3 days' prior written notice to
the Borrower of the Bank's decision.
7.2 LIEN PRIORITY. The Bank fails to have an enforceable first lien
(except for any prior liens to which the Bank has consented in writing) on or
security interest in the Collateral and any other property given as security for
this line of credit.
7.3 DEATH. The Borrower dies.
7.4 BANKRUPTCY. The Borrower files a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy
petition is filed against the Borrower, or the Borrower makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors. The default will be deemed cured if
any bankruptcy petition filed against the Borrower is dismissed within a period
of 45 days after the filing; provided, however, that the Bank will not be
obligated to extend any additional credit to the Borrower during that period.
7.5 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change, which in the
Bank's reasonable judgment would materially jeopardize its ability to be repaid,
occurs in the Borrower's financial condition, properties or prospects, or
ability to repay the line of credit. If, in the Bank's opinion, the material
adverse change is capable of being remedied, such change will not be considered
an event of default under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after
the date on which the Bank gives written notice of such change to the Borrower;
provided, however, that the Bank will not be obligated to extend any additional
credit to the Borrower during that period.
7.6 DEFAULT UNDER RELATED DOCUMENTS. Any security agreement or other
document required by this Agreement is violated or no longer in effect.
7.7 OTHER BREACH UNDER AGREEMENT. The Borrower fails to meet the
conditions of, or falls to perform any obligation under, any term of this
Agreement not specifically referred to in this Article. If, in the Bank's
opinion, the breach is capable of being remedied, the breach will not be
considered an event of default under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30)
days after the date on which the Bank gives written notice of the breach to the
Borrower; provided,
6
however, that the Bank will not be obligated to extend any additional credit
to the Borrower during that period.
8. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 CALIFORNIA LAW. This Agreement is governed by California law.
8.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is binding on the Borrower's
and the Bank's successors and assignees. The Borrower agrees that it may not
assign this Agreement without the Bank's prior consent.
8.3 ARBITRATION.
(a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or
claims between the Borrower and the Bank that arise from (i) this Agreement
(including any renewals, extensions or modifications of this Agreement), (ii)
any document, agreement or procedure related to or delivered in connection with
this Agreement, (iii) any violation of this Agreement, or (iv) any claims for
damages resulting from any business conducted between the Borrower and the Bank,
including claims for injury to persons, property or business interests (torts.).
(b) At the request of the Borrower or the Bank, any such
controversies or claims will be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
United States Arbitration Act. The United States Arbitration Act will apply
even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by California law.
Arbitration proceedings will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association and will be subject to its commercial rules of arbitration.
(c) For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations,
the filing of an arbitration pursuant to this paragraph is the equivalent of the
filing of a lawsuit, and any claim or controversy which may be arbitrated under
this paragraph is subject to any applicable statute of limitations. The
arbitrators will have the authority to decide whether any such claim or
controversy is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the
arbitration on that basis. If there is a dispute as to whether an issue is
arbitrable, the arbitrators will have the authority to resolve any such dispute.
The decision that results from an arbitration proceeding may be submitted to any
authorized court of law to be confirmed and enforced.
(d) This provision does not limit or the Bank to (i) exercise self-
help remedies foreclose against or sell any real or personal (ii) act in a court
of law, before, during or proceeding, to obtain an interim remedy and/or the
right of the Borrower such as setoff, (iii) property collateral, or after the
arbitration additional or supplementary remedies. The pursuit of or a
successful action for interim, additional or supplementary remedies, or the
filing of a court action, does not constitute a waiver of the right of the
Borrower or the Bank, including the suing party, to submit the controversy or
claim to arbitration if the other party contests the lawsuit.
8.4 SEVERABILITY; WAIVERS. If any part of this Agreement is not
enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all
rights, even if it makes a loan after default.
7
If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later default. Any consent or
waiver under this Agreement must be in writing.
8.5 ATTORNEYS' FEES. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any
reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement and
any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and including
any amendment, waiver, "workout" or restructuring under this Agreement. In the
event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled
to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the
lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. As
used in this paragraph, "attorneys' fees" includes the allocated costs of the
Bank's in-house counsel.
8.6 ONE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any related security or other
agreements required by this Agreement collectively represent the sum of the
understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this
credit, replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the
Borrower concerning this credit, and are intended by the Bank and the Borrower
as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them.
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements
required by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail.
8.7 NOTICES. All notices required under this Agreement shall be
personally delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses on
the signature page of this Agreement, or to such other addresses as the Bank and
the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing.
This Agreement is executed as of the date stated at the top of the first page.
