 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
  
 LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AMENDED AND
RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”)
dated the Effective Date, between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”) and EQUINIX, INC., a Delaware corporation, whose address
is 301 Velocity Way, 5th Floor, Foster City, California 94404 (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower, and Borrower will repay Bank. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that Loan
and Security Agreement dated November 23, 2004, between Bank and Borrower (the “Original Loan Agreement”). 
  
 1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS 
  
 Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall 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. Capitalized terms in this
Agreement shall have the meanings as set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings provided by the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

  
 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 
  
 2.1 Promise to Pay. 
  
 Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal
amount of all Credit Extensions hereunder with all interest, fees, and finance charges due thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 2.1.1 Revolving Advances. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Bank shall make Advances to Borrower from time to time until the Revolving Maturity Date not
exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the Sublimit Utilization Amount. Until the Revolving Maturity Date and subject to the terms hereof and the applicable terms and conditions precedent in Sections 3.1 and 3.2,
Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow under this Section 2.1.1. The proceeds of the Advances shall be used solely for working capital and general corporate purposes. 
  
 (b) Interest on each Advance shall be paid pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4(b). The outstanding
principal amount of and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date. 
  
 (c) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.3. 








 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit. 
  
 Bank will issue letters of credit (“Letters of
Credit”) for Borrower’s account not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (b) the FX Reserve, and (c) the
sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date. Borrower’s reimbursement obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit with
an expiry date later than the Revolving Maturity Date will be secured by cash on terms reasonably acceptable to Bank on or before 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. 
  
 2.1.3 FX Forward Contracts. 
  
 If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more
than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit (the “FX
Reserve”). The foreign exchange sublimit shall be the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (a) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (b) the amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances. The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX
Reserve. 
  
 2.1.4 Cash Management Services. 
  
 Borrower may use amounts up to the Committed Revolving Line minus the
sum of (a) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (b) the FX Reserve, and (c) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “Cash Management
Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements
related to such services, including automated clearing house and electronic funds transfer services (the “Cash Management Services”). 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 when due for any Cash Management Services will be treated as
Prime Rate Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Prime Rate Advances. 
  
 2.2 Suspension and Termination of Commitment to Lend; Termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Bank shall have no obligation to make Credit Extensions (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default or if there exists any event, condition, or act which 
  

 2 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default or (b) upon the occurrence of any
Change in Control of Borrower. Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Bank, irrevocably terminate this Agreement
provided that all Obligations have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have been secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank) as of the effective date of such termination. 
  
 2.3 Overadvances. 
  
 If, at any time Borrower’s aggregate obligations under Sections
2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, and 2.1.4, exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must, after written notice from Bank, immediately pay Bank the excess. 
  

2.4 Interest Rates. 
  
 (a) Borrower shall pay interest on the Advances at the following rates: (i) the Prime Rate, or (ii) at the election of Borrower,
Adjusted LIBOR, in each case plus the Applicable Margin per annum. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margins resulting from a change in the Senior Leverage Ratio, as evidenced by the most recently-delivered Compliance Certificate,
shall be effective retroactively to the first day of the fiscal quarter in which such Compliance Certificate is delivered; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate when due in accordance with
Section 6.2(b), then the Applicable Margins shall be 2.85% for LIBOR Advances and 1.25% for Prime Rate Advances effective retroactively to the first day of the fiscal quarter in which such Compliance Certificate is required to be
delivered and until such time that Borrower shall deliver a Compliance Certificate evidencing that its Senior Leverage Ratio at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 2.5x (in which case the Applicable Margins
shall automatically adjust to the percentages corresponding to such Senior Leverage Ratio). The Applicable Margins in effect from the Effective Date until Borrower delivers the first Compliance Certificate required by this Agreement shall be 2.50%
for LIBOR Advances and 0.50% for Prime Rate Advances, whereupon any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margins shall be computed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. 
  
 The Applicable Margins are as follows: 
  

							
	 If Borrower’s Senior Leverage Ratio is:

	  	LIBOR
Applicable
Margin

	 	 	Prime Rate Applicable
Margin

	 
	 less than or equal to 1.0x
	  	1.75	%	 	0.00	%
	 more than 1.0x but less than or equal to 2.0x
	  	2.50	%	 	0.50	%
	 more than 2.0x but less than or equal to 2.5x
	  	2.75	%	 	1.00	%
	 greater than 2.5x
	  	2.85	%	 	1.25	%

 (b) Pursuant to the terms of Section 3.7, interest on each Advance shall be paid
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof.

  
 (c) After an Event of Default occurs and so long as
such Event of Default continues, including after an acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (whether before or after entry of judgment to the extent permitted by law), Obligations shall accrue interest at two percent
(2.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default; provided, however, that on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Advance outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default
or acceleration, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR Advance shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2.00%). Payment or acceptance of
the increased interest provided in this Section 2.4(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank. 
  
 2.5 Intentionally Omitted. 
  
 2.6 General Provisions. 
  
 Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with Bank
for principal and interest payments due and owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents which are then due and owing, including the Designated Deposit Account. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00
noon (Pacific time) are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue. 

 
 2.7 Fees. 
  
 Borrower shall pay to Bank: 
  
 (a) all documented Bank Expenses incurred through and after the
Effective Date, when due (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the documentation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of the Loan Documents associated with the initial Credit Extension, which shall not
exceed $60,000 unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and which shall be due and payable on the Effective Date); and 
  
 (b) as additional compensation for Bank’s Revolving Loan Commitment, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each quarter prior to the
Revolving Maturity Date and on the Revolving Maturity Date, a per annum facility fee in an amount equal to the applicable Facility Fee Percentage multiplied by the Revolving Loan Commitment; and

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 (c) such additional fees as set forth in the letter agreement dated as of September 16,
2005 between Borrower and Bank setting forth certain fees payable in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 2.8 Mandatory Prepayment Event. 
  
 Concurrently with the occurrence of any Change in Control of Borrower, Borrower shall prepay in full, without penalty or premium, all outstanding
Obligations and shall post cash collateral, upon terms reasonably acceptable to Bank, in the face amount of any undrawn Letters of Credit. 
  
 3. CONDITIONS OF CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
  
 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. 
  
 Bank’s obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that the following have been satisfied, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank: 
  
 (a) the

 (b) To the extent not previously delivered to Bank in connection with the Original Loan Agreement, Borrower shall have delivered executed one or more Control Agreement(s), in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, by and among

 (c) each of Borrower and Guarantor shall have delivered its Operating Documents and a good standing certificate from the Secretary of State of

 (f) Bank shall have received the certificates of insurance described
in Section 6.5 hereof;

Sections 3.2 and 3.3, all documents, certificates, and other assurances that Bank or its counsel may reasonably request. 
  
 3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. 
  
 3.2.1 Bank’s obligation to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following: 
  
 (a) timely receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in the form attached as
Exhibit A; and 
  
 (b) the representations and warranties
in Section 5 shall be true, accurate and complete on the date of the Notice of Borrowing and on the Funding Date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or result from, an Advance and/or Credit Extension;
provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a date other than the Funding Date are true, accurate and complete as of such date; and provided, further, that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5 shall be deemed to be made with respect to the financial statements most recently delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 6.2. Borrower’s receipt of an Advance is Borrower’s
representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Section 5 remain true, accurate and complete, subject to the provisos set forth in the preceding sentence. 
  
 3.2.2 Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions on or after
December 31, 2005, is subject to the additional condition that Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to have obtained and delivered to Bank not later than such date [*]. 
  
 3.3 Procedure for the Borrowing of Advances. 
  
 (a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in
this Agreement, including Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 for Advances made on the Effective Date and Section 3.2 for all Advances, each Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered
to Bank in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, each executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower 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 (other than losses resulting from Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). Such
Notice of Borrowing must be received by Bank prior to 12:00 noon (Pacific time), (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Advances, and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Prime Rate Advances, specifying:

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; 
  
 (iii) whether the Advance is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances or
Prime Rate Advances; and 
  
 (iv) the duration of the
Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Advances included in such notice; provided that if the Notice of Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Advance comprised of LIBOR Advances, such Interest
Period shall be one (1) month. 
  
 (b) The proceeds
of all such Advances will then be made available to Borrower on the Funding Date by Bank by transfer to the Designated Deposit Account. 
  
 3.4 Conversion and Continuation Elections. 
  
 (a) So long as (1) no Event of Default or event which with notice, passage of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;
(2) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (3) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Advances,
Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank: 
  
 (i) elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Advances in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof into LIBOR Advances; 
  
 (ii) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or
any part thereof in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof); provided, that if the aggregate amount of LIBOR Advances shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof, to be
less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Advances shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Advances; or 
  
 (iii) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount
equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) into Prime Rate Advances. 
  
 (b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to be received
by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least (i) three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Advances are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances; and (ii) one (1)
Business Day in advance of the Conversion Date, if any Advances are to be converted into Prime Rate Advances, in each case specifying: 
  
 (i) the proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date; 
  

 7 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 (ii) the aggregate amount of the Advances to be converted or continued which, if any Advances
are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or in any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; 
  
 (iii) whether a conversion or a continuation is proposed; and 
  
 (iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period. 
  
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any
LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate Advances. 
  
 (d) Any LIBOR Advances shall, at Bank’s option, convert into
Prime Rate Advances in the event that (i) an Event of Default, or event which with notice, the passage of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist, (ii) the Agreement shall terminate, or (iii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Prime Rate Advances which have been previously converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time
during such Interest Period exceed the Committed Revolving Line. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts
required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing. Concurrently with any
demand for compensation under this Section 3.4(d), Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of such request by Bank for such compensation. Determinations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.4(d) of
the amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any loss, costs or expense incurred by Bank as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to the circumstances set forth in Sections 3.4(d)(i)-(iii) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof
shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Advances. 
  
 3.5 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Advances. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances as to the matters covered: 
  
 (a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as
practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Advances
for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower. 
  

 8 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 (b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall have
determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Advance on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and, with respect to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, be deemed
a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances. 
  
 (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such
compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Advances and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection
with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to illegality under Section 3.6(e) or
impracticability under Section 3.6(d)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or
(ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Advances occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Advance. 
  
 Concurrently with any demand for compensation under this Section 3.5(c), Bank will furnish Borrower with a
statement setting forth the basis and amount of such request by Bank for such compensation. Determinations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.5(c) of the amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any loss, expense or
liability incurred by Bank as a result of the circumstances set forth in Sections 3.5(c)(i)-(ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.5 and under
Section 3.3 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Advances through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount
equal to the amount of such LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall
be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.5 and under Section 3.3. 
  
 (e) LIBOR Advances After Event of Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not
elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance, and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 
  

 9 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 3.5(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation
that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances. 
  
 3.6 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances. 
  
 (a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment
or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Bank and, within fifteen
(15) days after written demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be,
for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) Borrower shall pay Bank,
within fifteen (15) days after written demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of
any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any
Regulatory Change which: 
  
 (i) changes the basis of
taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income or capital of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal
office); 
  
 (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or 
  
 (iii) imposes any direct costs on Bank in respect of any Advances.

  
 Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the
Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6(b) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Concurrently with any demand for
compensation under this Section 3.6(b), Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of such request by Bank for such compensation. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this
Section 3.6(b) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Advances, of making or 
  

 10 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 maintaining Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required
to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable
lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of
Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance
(taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after written demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. Concurrently with any demand for compensation under this Section 3.6(c), Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of such request by Bank for
such compensation, which statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) If, at any time, (i) the amount of LIBOR Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods is not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does
not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Advances, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Advances shall terminate. 
  
 (e) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or
maintain any LIBOR Advances, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation,
any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance then being requested by Borrower
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by
giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the
date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above. 
  
 (f) Failure or delay on the part of Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.6(b) or 3.6(c) shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to demand such
compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.6(b) or 3.6(c) for any costs incurred or reductions 
  

 11 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor. 
  
 3.7 Calculation of Interest and Fees. 
  
 Interest on the Advances and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (other than Prime Rate Advances, which shall be computed on the basis of a
365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed) in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of such Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded;
provided, however, that if any Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Advance. 
  
 (a) Prime Rate Advances. Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Advances based on changes in the Prime
Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change. Interest on Prime Rate Advances is payable quarterly by debit to the Designated Deposit Account on each Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (b) LIBOR Advances. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR
Advance shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.5(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.6, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest calculated

 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 
  
 4.1 Grant
of Security Interest. 
  
 Borrower hereby grants Bank, to
secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and the performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents, a continuing security interest in the Collateral and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower
warrants and represents that the security interest granted herein shall be a perfected first priority security interest in the Filing Collateral (which security interest shall be perfected by the filing of any financing statements required by the
Code) and in the Domestic Collateral Accounts (which security interest shall be perfected by “control” pursuant to Section 9104 or Section 9106 of the Code, as applicable), subject only to Permitted Liens. 
  
 Borrower agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of this
Agreement, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. If the Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies
its Obligations. If Borrower shall at any time, file a commercial tort claim in any court where the amount of damages claimed exceeds $500,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and
grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 Once the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations)
or otherwise performed in full and Bank’s obligations to provide Credit Extensions hereunder have terminated, (i) Bank’s security interest in the Collateral shall automatically terminate, (ii) all rights to the Collateral shall
automatically revert to Borrower and (iii) Bank shall promptly return any pledged Collateral to Borrower, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall promptly endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all financing
statements, reconveyances, instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Borrower, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release,
reconveyance and termination of Bank’s interests arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, Borrower. Bank’s Lien on any Collateral sold or otherwise transferred by Borrower in a transaction which
is not a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall terminate effective upon such sale or other transfer. Upon such termination or Bank’s release of any Collateral prior to indefeasible payment or performance in full of the
Obligations, Bank shall execute and deliver to Borrower (or to a party designated by Borrower) such documents as may be appropriate to confirm such termination or release, including documents necessary to reconvey interests in real property,
terminate financing statements or to evidence the release (or partial release) of Collateral under financing statements filed under the Code. 
  
 4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. 
  
 Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements with all appropriate jurisdictions, to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights
hereunder. 
  
 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. 
  
 Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and, in any jurisdiction in
which such legal concept is applicable, in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and is qualified and licensed to do business in, and, in any jurisdiction in which such legal concept is applicable, is in good standing in, any
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with
this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a certificate signed by Borrower and entitled “Collateral Information Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that: (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated
on the Collateral Information Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the Collateral Information Certificate; (c) the Collateral
Information Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; and (d) the Collateral Information Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of
business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address if different, and (e) all other information set forth on the Collateral Information Certificate pertaining to Borrower is accurate and
complete. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such organizational identification number. 
  

 13 









 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by Borrower,
and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which
the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 5.2 Collateral. 
  
 Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower maintains its primary operating accounts with Bank or with Bank’s Affiliates and all other deposit or investment accounts of Borrower are
disclosed in the Collateral Information Certificate or have otherwise been disclosed to Bank in writing. The Domestic Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or
its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Bank, no Collateral consisting of Inventory with an aggregate value in excess of $200,000 is in the possession of any
third party bailee (such as a warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing by Borrower pursuant to and within the timeframe provided by Section 6.2(f)(i), none of the components of the Collateral with an aggregate value
in excess of $200,000 is maintained at locations other than as provided in the Collateral Information Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to deliver possession of any Collateral consisting of Inventory with an
aggregate value in excess of $200,000 to a bailee, then Borrower shall first obtain the written consent of Bank, and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. All Inventory is in all
material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. 
  
 5.3 Litigation. 
  
 Except
as shown in the Collateral Information Certificate, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary which could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 5.4 No Material Deterioration in Financial Statements. 
  
 All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There
has not been a Material Adverse Change since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank. 
  
 5.5 Solvency. 
  
 The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not
left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

 5.6 Regulatory Compliance. 
  
 Borrower is not an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its
important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any
laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary have timely (taking into account any extensions of time granted to
Borrower) filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to make such declarations,
notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 5.7 Subsidiaries. 
  
 Except as shown in the Collateral Information Certificate or as Borrower may otherwise notify Bank in writing from time to time, Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted
Investments. 
  
 5.8 Full Disclosure. 
  
 No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any
certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained in the 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 viewed as facts and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

 9.4 Bank Expenses. 
  
 If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance
policies required in Section 6.5. Any amounts paid by Bank as provided herein are Bank Expenses and are immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the highest applicable default rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by

and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements among Borrower and Bank, are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or
remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in enforcing its rights is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder by Bank shall be effective unless signed
by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
