B. Borrower has requested that, among other things, Bank increase the maximum principal amount of the committed line of credit to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) and Bank has agreed, subject to the execution of this Agreement with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby covenant and agree that effective upon the Closing Date, the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
| 1. | ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS |
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
| 2. | LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT |
| 2.1 | Promise to Pay. |
Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
| 2.1.1 | Revolving Advances. |
(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base; and minus (ii) all amounts for (A) services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) and (C) the FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Loan Payment/Advance Request Form attached as Exhibit B (the “Payment/Advance Form”). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.
| 2.1.2 | Letters of Credit Sublimit. |
Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the Cash Management Sublimit and minus the FX Reserve; however, the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not at any time exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower’s obligations to reimburse Bank under the Letters of Credit will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank, a letter of credit fee (each a “Letter of Credit Fee” and collectively the “Letter of Credit Fees”) in an amount equal to percent ( %) per annum of the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid in advance upon the issuance of the Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary thereof, if any.

Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committee Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.
| 2.2 | Overadvances. |
If Borrower’s Obligations under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay Bank the excess.

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate of one and one quarter percent (1.25%) plus the greater of (i) the Prime Rate, or (ii) four and one quarter percent (4.25%). After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at five percent (5%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.
