LOAN AGREEMENT


THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made between _______Westell, Inc. (“Borrower”), and St. Charles Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (“Lender”). 


The U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) has authorized a guaranty of a loan from Lender to Borrower (“Loan”) having 2021 SBA Loan Number 9793538508_. In consideration of the promises in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, Borrower and Lender agree as follows: 
1.Subject to the terms and conditions of the SBA’s Participating Lender Rules as defined in the Guarantee Agreement between Lender and SBA and the program requirements of the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, as set out in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and, Economic Security Act, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, and any subsequent amendments thereof and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), Lender agrees to make the Loan if Borrower complies with the following “Borrower Requirements.”  Borrower must:
a.Provide Lender with all certifications, documents or other information Lender requests from Borrower or any third party;
b.Execute a note (“Note”) and any other documents required by Lender (“Loan Documents”); and
c.Do everything necessary for Lender to comply with the terms and conditions of the Act.
2.The terms and conditions of this Agreement:
a.Are binding on Borrower and Lender and their successors and assigns; and
b.Will remain in effect after the closing of the Loan.
3.Failure to abide by any of the Borrower Requirements will constitute an event of default under the Note and other Loan Documents.
4.Borrower further certifies to Lender as follows:
a.Each of the answers provided and certifications made or required to be made by Borrower in the application submitted to Lender under the Act in connection with the Loan (“Application”) remains true, accurate and complete, and Borrower shall comply with all such certifications. The certifications made or required to be made by Borrower in the Application are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
b.Documentation verifying all the information required in support of Borrower’s application for Loan forgiveness shall be collected for the applicable covered 





              

period as contemplated by the Act and will be submitted to Lender if required under the Act or requested by Lender.   
c.The information provided in this Agreement and Borrower’s Application, and the information provided in all supporting documents and forms is true and accurate in all material respects. Borrower understands that knowingly making a false statement to obtain a guaranteed loan from the SBA is punishable under the law, including: (i) under 18 USC 1001 and 3571 by imprisonment of not more than five years and/or a fine of up to $250,000; (ii) under 15 USC 645 by imprisonment of not more than two years and/or a fine of not more than $5,000; and, (iii) if submitted to a federally insured institution, under 18 USC 1014 by imprisonment of not more than thirty years and/or a fine of not more than $1,000,000.  
d.Borrower has the right and power and is duly authorized to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform and observe the provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; Borrower is duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder; the individual(s) executing the Loan Documents on behalf of Borrower has been duly authorized to execute the Loan Documents on behalf of Borrower.  The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each Loan Document to which it is a party, and the borrowings by the Borrower hereunder, do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or agency (other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force and effect), or (b) conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award that is applicable to or binding on any Borrower, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of Borrower or (iii) any agreement, indenture, instrument or other document, or any judgment, order or decree, that is binding upon any Borrower.  
e.Borrower is eligible to receive the Loan under the rules that have been issued by the SBA implementing the Paycheck Protection Program under the Act. Borrower shall comply with all rules and regulations of the Paycheck Protection Program in existence at the time of the Loan and thereafter promulgated.   
f.Borrower understands and acknowledges that forgiveness of the Loan is only available for principal that is used for the limited purposes that qualify for forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Act. Forgiveness is not automatic, and Borrower must request forgiveness and may need to provide Lender with documentation in accordance with the rules and regulations implementing the Paycheck Protection Program. Borrower understands and acknowledges that Borrower shall remain responsible under the Loan for any amounts not forgiven.  Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying on Lender for its understanding of the Paycheck Protection Program requirements for forgiveness.  
g.Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s liability under the Note for the Loan will continue with respect to any amounts the SBA may pay Lender based on an SBA guarantee of the Note. Any agreement between the Lender 





              

and SBA under which SBA may guarantee the Note does not create any third party rights or benefits for Borrower, and regardless if SBA pays Lender under any such agreement, SBA or Lender may seek recovery from Borrower of all amounts due on the Loan under the Note. 
5.Borrower has received a copy of the Equal Employment Opportunity Poster (SBA Form 722), and will display such poster at Borrower’s place of business where it is clearly visible to employees, job applicants, and the general public.  
6.Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying solely on Borrower’s representations, warranties, certifications, confirmations or other statements of, and information from, the Borrower and/or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, owners, principals, agents, and/or controlling persons as to the Borrower, its business or activities, its eligibility for the proposed Loan, its use of the proceeds or any other benefits of the Loan, the existence of any hardship or other condition, the eligibility of the Borrower for forgiveness of all or any portion of the Loan, the amount of any Loan forgiveness, or any other matters of compliance with the Act or SBA requirements without limitation or without Lender’s examination of any other information not included in the Borrower’s Application which may be in Borrower’s possession. 
7.Waiver; Amendments.  No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Lender (and in the case of an amendment, the Borrower), and then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
8.Severability.  Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  All obligations of the Borrower and rights of the Lender expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. 
9.Waiver of Class Actions.  The terms “Claim” or “Claims” refer to any disputes, controversies, claims, counterclaims, allegations of liability, theories of damage, or defenses between Borrower, its subsidiaries and affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand (all of the foregoing each being referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”).  Whether in state court, federal court, or any other venue, jurisdiction, or before any tribunal, the Parties agree that all aspects of litigation and trial of any Claim will take place without resort to any form of class or representative action.  Thus the Parties may only bring Claims against each other in an individual capacity and waive any right they may have to do so as a class 





              

representative or a class member in a class or representative action.  THIS CLASS 
ACTION WAIVER PRECLUDES ANY PARTY FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR BEING REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION REGARDING A CLAIM. 
10.INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BORROWER.  IN CONSIDERATION OF THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT BY THE LENDER AND THE AGREEMENT TO EXTEND THE COMMITMENTS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, EXONERATE AND HOLD THE LENDER AND EACH OF THE LENDER’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LENDER AGENTS AND OTHER AGENTS (EACH A “LENDER PARTY”) FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY COSTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”), INCURRED BY THE LENDER PARTIES OR ANY OF THEM AS A RESULT OF, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO (A) THE LENDER’S ACTIONS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE ACT, AND (B) THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BY ANY OF THE LENDER PARTIES, EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISING ON ACCOUNT OF THE APPLICABLE LENDER PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.  IF AND TO THE EXTENT THE FOREGOING UNDERTAKING MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO MAKE THE MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF EACH OF THE INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES THAT IS PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.  ALL OBLIGATIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN, CANCELLATION OF THE NOTE, OR ANY MODIFICATION, RELEASE, DISCHARGE OR TERMINATION OF, ANY OR ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT. 


11.FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE.  THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY 





              

LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
12.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A 
JURY.   
13.Change of Ownership.  Certain Changes of Ownership as defined in SBA Procedural Notice 5000-20057 dated October 2, 2020, may require SBA approval. Where SBA approval is required, such approval may take sixty (60) or more days to obtain, and Lender will not provide consent to a Change of Ownership prior to receiving SBA approval. Lender shall not be responsible for providing consent to a Change in Ownership by any particular date. It shall be Borrower’s responsibility to provide Lender with enough advance written notice and all necessary information in order to obtain SBA approval and Lender consent prior to closing the transaction.  As a condition to Lender’s consent to the Change in Ownership, an escrow may need to be established, and Borrower agrees to pay any fees of the escrow agent and any Lender fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related to the establishment of the escrow.  
14.Agent Fees.  To the extent Borrower has contracted with an agent as defined in the Act (including, but not limited to, attorneys, accountants, consultants, loan brokers and/or other individuals or other parties), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) Borrower is responsible for payment of any fees owed to Borrower’s agent; and (ii) Borrower may not use Loan proceeds to pay Borrower’s agent. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall only be responsible for paying fees to an agent for services for which the Lender directly contracts with the agent.
