 CREDIT FACILITIES 
  

	2.1	 	THE LINE OF CREDIT 

  

	 	2.1.1	 	The Line of Credit: On terms and conditions as set forth herein, the Bank agrees to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time from the date hereof to the Expiration
Date, provided the aggregate amount of such Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed $4,500,000.00 (the “Line of Credit”). Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, partially or wholly prepay, and reborrow under this
Section 2.1. Proceeds of the Line of Credit shall be used for general working capital purposes. 

  

	 	2.1.2	 	Making Line Advances: Each Advance shall be conclusively deemed to have been made at the request of and for the benefit of the Borrower (i) when credited to any deposit
account of the Borrower maintained with the Bank or (ii) when paid in accordance with the Borrower’s written instructions. Subject to the requirements of Section 4 and provided such request is made in a timely manner as provided in Section
2.1.5 below, Advances shall be made by the Bank under the Line of Credit. 

  

 4 









	 	2.1.3	 	Repayment: On the Expiration Date, the Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay to the Bank in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then outstanding,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  

	 	2.1.4	 	Interest on Advances: Interest shall accrue from the date of each Advance under the Line of Credit at one of the following rates, as quoted by the Bank and as elected by the
Borrower below: 

  

	 	(i)	 	Variable Rate Advances: A variable rate per annum equivalent to the Prime Rate (the “Variable Rate”). Interest shall be adjusted concurrently with any change in the
Prime Rate. An Advance based upon the Variable Rate is hereinafter referred to as a “Variable Rate Advance.” 

  

	 	(ii)	 	LIBOR Advances: A fixed rate quoted by the Bank for 1, 2, 3, or 6 months or for such other period of time that the Bank may quote and offer (provided that any such period of
time does not extend beyond the Expiration Date) (the “LIBOR Interest Period”) for Advances in the minimum amount of $500,000.00. Such interest rate shall be a percentage approximately equivalent to 2.25% in excess of the Banks LIBOR Rate
which is that rate determined by the Bank’s Treasury Desk as being the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent (1/16%)) of the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rates for
such period appearing on page 3750 (or such other page as may replace page 3750) of the, Telerate screen at or about
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the first days of such period (adjusted for any and all assessments, surcharges and reserve requirements) (the “LIBOR Rate”). An Advance based upon the LIBOR Rate is hereinafter
referred to as a “LIBOR Advance.” 

  
 Interest on any Advance shall be computed on the basis of 360 days per year, but charged on the actual number of days elapsed. 
  
 The Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay interest in arrears on Variable Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances on the first calendar day of each month.

  
 If interest is not paid as and when it is due, it shall be
added to the principal, become and be treated as a part thereof, and shall thereafter bear like interest. 
  

	 	2.1.5	 	Notice of Borrowing: Upon written or telephonic notice which shall be received by the Bank at or before 2:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day, the Borrower may borrow
under the Line of Credit by requesting: 

  

	 	(i)	 	A Variable Rate Advance. A Variable Rate Advance may be made on the day notice is received by the Bank; provided, however, that if the Bank shall not have received notice at or
before 2:00 p.m. on the day such Advance is requested to be made, such Variable Rate Advance may, at the Bank’s option, be made on the next Business Day. 

  

	 	(ii)	 	A LIBOR Advance. Notice of any LIBOR Advance shall be received by the Bank no later than two Business Days prior to the day (which shall be a Business Day) on which the Borrower
requests such LIBOR Advance to be made. 

  

	 	2.1.6	 	Notice of Election to Adjust Interest Rate: The Borrower may elect: 

  

	 	(i)	 	That interest on a Variable Rate Advance shall be adjusted to accrue at the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that such notice shall be received by the Bank no later


  

 5 








 than two Business Days prior to the day (which shall be a Business Day) on which the Borrower requests
that interest be adjusted to accrue at the LIBOR Rate. 
  

	 	(ii)	 	That interest on a LIBOR Advance shall continue to accrue at a newly quoted LIBOR Rate or shall be adjusted to commence to accrue at the Variable Rate; provided, however, that such
notice shall be received by the Bank no later than two Business Days prior to the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period pertaining to such LIBOR Advance. If the Bank shall not have received notice (as prescribed herein) of the Borrowers election
that interest on any LIBOR Advance shall continue to accrue at the newly quoted LIBOR Rate, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that interest thereon shall be adjusted to accrue at the Variable Rate upon the expiration of the LIBOR Interest
Period pertaining to such Advance. 

  

	 	2.1.7	 	Prepayment: The Borrower may prepay any Advance in whole or in part, at any time and without penalty; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment shall first be
applied, at the Bank’s option, to accrued and unpaid Interest and next to the outstanding principal balance; and (ii) during any period of time in which interest is accruing on any Advance on the basis of the LIBOR Rate, no prepayment shall be
made except on a day which is the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period pertaining thereto. If the whole or any part of any LIBOR Advance is prepaid by reason of acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon the Bank’s request, promptly
pay to and indemnify the Bank for all costs, expenses and any loss (including loss of future interest income) actually incurred by the Bank and any loss (including loss of profit resulting from the re-employment of funds) deemed sustained by the
Bank as a consequence of such prepayment. 

  
 The
Bank shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Advances in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though the Bank actually funded all Advances through the
purchase of dollar deposits bearing interest at the same rate as U.S. Treasury securities in the amount of the relevant Advance and in maturities corresponding to the date of such purchase to the Expiration Date hereunder. 
  

	 	2.1.8	 	Indemnification for LIBOR Rate Costs: During any period of time in which interest on any Advance is accruing on the basis of the LIBOR Rate, the Borrower shall, upon the
Bank’s request, promptly pay to and reimburse the Bank for all costs incurred and payments made by the Bank by reason of any future assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee imposed upon the Bank or as a
result of the Bank’s compliance with any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating to funds used by the Bank in quoting and determining the LIBOR Rate. 

  

	 	2.1.9	 	Conversion from LIBOR Rate to Variable Rate: In the event that the Bank shall at any time determine that the accrual of interest on the basis of the LIBOR Rate (i) is
infeasible because the Bank is unable to determine the LIBOR Rate due to the unavailability of U.S. dollar deposits, contracts or certificates of deposit in an amount approximately equal to the amount of the relevant Advance and for a period of time
approximately equal to relevant LIBOR Interest Period or (ii) is or has become unlawful or infeasible by reason of the Bank’s compliance with any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or any new interpretation of any present law, rule,
regulation, guideline or order, then the Bank shall give telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower, in which event any Advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be deemed to be a Variable Rate Advance and interest shall
thereupon immediately accrue at the Variable Rate.

	2.2	 	FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUB-FACILITY 

  

	 	2.2.1	 	Foreign Exchange Sub-Facility: The Bank agrees to enter into FX Transactions with the Borrower, at the Borrower’s request therefor made prior to the Expiration Date;

the depository account or accounts maintained with Bank are insufficient to pay the settlement price, without limiting the rights of Bank hereunder or waiving any Event of Default caused thereby, Bank may, and Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to,

which exists after the disposition or liquidation of the Collateral shall be a continuing liability of the Borrower to the Bank and shall be immediately paid by the Borrower to the Bank.
