 LOAN AGREEMENT 

 
 This Agreement dated as of October 12, 2004, is between Bank of America, N.A. (the
“Bank”) and Anna’s Linen Company (the “Borrower”). 
  

	1.	FACILITY NO. 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 “Facility No. 1 Commitment”)
is equal to the lesser of (i) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) or (ii) the Borrowing Base. 

  
 “Borrowing Base” means 40% of the aggregate book value of the Borrower’s inventory. 
  

	(b)	This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them. 

  

	(c)	The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to exceed the Facility No. 1 Commitment. If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the Borrower will immediately pay
the excess to the Bank upon the Bank’s demand. 

  
 1.2
Availability Period. The line of credit is available between the date of this Agreement and September 30, 2006, or such earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the “Facility No. 1 Expiration
Date”). 
  
 1.3 Repayment Terms. 
  

	(a)	The Borrower will pay interest on October 31, 2004, and then on the same day of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this facility.

  

	(b)	The Borrower will repay in full any principal, interest or other charges outstanding under this facility no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. Any interest period for an
optional interest rate (as described below) shall expire no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. 

  
 1.4 Interest Rate. 
  

	(a)	The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus/minus the Applicable Margin as defined below. 

  

	(b)	The Prime Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime 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 Prime Rate. Any change in the Prime Rate
shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of a change in the Bank’s Prime Rate. 

  
 1.5 Optional Interest Rates. Instead of the interest rate based on the rate stated in the paragraph entitled “Interest Rate” above, the Borrower may
elect the optional interest rates listed below for this Facility No. 1 during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower. The optional interest rates shall be subject to the terms and conditions described later in this Agreement. Any
principal amount bearing interest at an optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a “Portion.” The following optional interest rates are available: 
  

	(a)	The IBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin as defined below. 

  
 1.6 Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be the following amounts per annum, based upon the Leverage Ratio (as defined below), as set forth in the most
recent compliance certificate (or, if no compliance certificate is required, 

  

					
	 	  	1	  	 

 
the Borrower’s most recent financial statements) received by the Bank as required in the Covenants section; provided, however, that, until the Bank
receives the compliance certificate or financial statement for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2005, such amounts shall be those indicated for pricing level 2 set forth below:

 Leverage Ratio means ratio of the sum
of Funded Debt plus 8 times rent expense to EBITDAR (as defined in paragraph number 8.5 of this Agreement). This ratio will be calculated at the end of each reporting period for which the Bank requires financial statements, using the results of the
twelve-month period ending with that reporting period. 
  
 “Funded Debt”
means all outstanding liabilities for borrowed money and other interest-bearing liabilities, including current and long-term debt less the non-current portion of Subordinated Liabilities, and issued and outstanding letters of credit (including the
drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the letters of credit). 
  
 The Applicable
Margin shall be in effect from the date the most recent compliance certificate or financial statement is received by the Bank until the date the next compliance certificate or financial statement is received; provided, however, that if the Borrower
fails to timely deliver the next compliance certificate or financial statement, the Applicable Margin from the date such compliance certificate or financial statement was due until the date such compliance certificate or financial statement is
received by the Bank shall be at a pricing level set forth by the Bank at its sole discretion. 
  

	1.7	Letters of Credit. 

  

	(a)	During the availability period, at the request of the Borrower, the Bank will issue: 

  

	 	(i)	commercial letters of credit with a maximum maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days but not to extend beyond the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. Each commercial letter of credit
will require drafts payable at sight. 

  

	 	(ii)	standby letters of credit with a maximum maturity of three hundred sixty-five (365) days but not to extend beyond the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. The standby letters of credit
may include a provision providing that the maturity date will be automatically extended each year for an additional year unless the Bank gives written notice to the contrary. 

  

	(b)	The amount of the letters of credit outstanding at any one time (including the drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the letters of credit) may not exceed Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). 

  

	(c)	In calculating the principal amount outstanding under the Facility No. 1 Commitment, the calculation shall include the amount of any letters of credit outstanding, including amounts
drawn on any letters of credit and not yet reimbursed. 

  

	(d)	The Borrower agrees: 

  

	 	(i)	Any sum drawn under a letter of credit may, at the option of the Bank, be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due as
described elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	If there is a default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and make the Bank whole for any outstanding letters of credit. 

  

 2 

	 	(iii)	The issuance of any letter of credit and any amendment to a letter of credit is subject to the Bank’s written approval and must be in form and content satisfactory to the Bank
and in favor of a beneficiary acceptable to the Bank. 

  

	 	(iv)	To sign the Bank’s form Application and Agreement for Commercial Letter of Credit or Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit, as applicable.

  

	 	(v)	To pay any issuance and/or other fees that the Bank notifies the Borrower will be charged for issuing and processing letters of credit for the Borrower. 

  

	 	(vi)	To allow the Bank to automatically charge its checking account for applicable fees, discounts, and other charges. 

  

	 	(vii)	To pay the Bank a non-refundable SBLC Fee equal to the Applicable Margin, as defined in paragraph number 1.6 above, of the outstanding undrawn amount of each standby letter of
credit, payable quarterly in advance, calculated on the basis of the face amount outstanding on the day the fee is calculated. 

  

	2.	OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES 

  
 2.1 Optional Rates. Each optional interest rate is a rate per year. Interest will be paid on October 31, 2004, and then on the same day of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal
outstanding under this facility. No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable interest period. 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. At the end of each interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in the paragraph(s) entitled “Interest Rate” above, unless the Borrower has
designated another optional interest rate for the Portion. 
  

	2.2	IBOR Rate. The election of IBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements: 

  

	(a)	The interest period during which the IBOR Rate will be in effect will be no shorter than thirty (30) days and no longer than six (6) months. 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 IBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00). 

  

	(c)	The “IBOR 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.) 

  

			
	IBOR Rate =	  	        IBOR Base Rate        
	  	(1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

  
 Where, 
  

	 	(i)	“IBOR Base Rate” means the interest rate at which the Bank’s Grand Cayman Banking Center, 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, 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. 

  

	(d)	The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for an IBOR 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 IBOR Rate Portion are not available in the offshore dollar inter-bank market; or

  

 3 

	 	(ii)	the IBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of an IBOR Rate Portion. 

  

	(e)	Each prepayment of an IBOR 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 as described below. A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement. 

  

	(f)	The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment, including any loss of
anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay
any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market,
whether or not such Portion was in fact so funded. 

  

	3.	COLLATERAL 

  
 3.1 Personal Property. The personal property listed below now owned or owned in the future by the parties listed below will secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement. The
collateral is further defined in security agreement(s) executed by the owners of the collateral. In addition, all personal property collateral owned by the Borrower securing this Agreement shall also secure all other present and future obligations
of the Borrower to the Bank (excluding any consumer credit covered by the federal Truth in Lending law, unless the Borrower has otherwise agreed in writing or received written notice thereof). All personal property collateral securing any other
present or future obligations of the Borrower to the Bank shall also secure this Agreement. 
  

	(a)	Equipment owned by the Borrower. 

  

	(b)	Inventory owned by the Borrower. 

  

	(c)	Receivables owned by the Borrower. 

  

	4.	FEES AND EXPENSES 

  

	4.1	Fees. 

  

	(a)	Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the Facility No. 1 Commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the
average of the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at the Applicable Margin (as defined in paragraph number 1.6 above). The calculation of credit outstanding shall not include the undrawn amount
of letters of credit. 

  
 This fee is due on
December 31, 2004, and on the same day of each following quarter until the expiration of the availability period. 
  

	(b)	Waiver Fee. If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrower will, at the Bank’s option, pay the Bank a fee for each
waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrower. The Bank
may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment. 

  

	(c)	Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15)
days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default. 

  
 4.2 Expenses. The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the Bank for expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal
fees, title report fees, and documentation fees. 
  

					
	 	  	4	  	 

 4.3 Reimbursement Costs. 
  

	(a)	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses
include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

  

	(b)	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of the Borrower’s books, records and collateral, and appraisals of the collateral, at such
intervals as the Bank may reasonably require. The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers. The maximum amount which the Borrower will be required to reimburse the Bank shall not
exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in any fiscal year. 

  

	5.	DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS 

  
 5.1 Disbursements and Payments. 
  

	(a)	Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by direct debit to a deposit account as specified below or, for payments not required to be
made by direct debit, by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking centers in the United States. 

  

	(b)	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to
sign one or more promissory notes. 

  

	5.2	Telephone and Telefax Authorization. 

  

	(a)	The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and telefax requests for the issuance of letters of
credit given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers. 

  

	(b)	Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number 14599-14295 owned by the Borrower or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as
designated in writing by the Borrower. 

  

	(c)	The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank
reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.

  

	5.3	Direct Debit (Pre-Billing). 

  

	(a)	The Borrower agrees that the Bank will debit deposit account number 14599-14295 owned by the Borrower or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in
writing by the Borrower (the “Designated Account”) on the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the “Due Date”). 

  

	(b)	Prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The bill will be mailed a
specified number of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by the Bank and the Borrower. The calculations in the bill will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or
payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. 

  

	(c)	The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the “Accrued Amount”). If the Billed Amount debited to
the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in
default by reason of any such discrepancy. 

  

					
	 	  	5	  	 

	 	(ii)	If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy. 

  
 Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based
on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment. 
  

	(d)	The Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any
debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit. 

  

	(e)	The Borrower may terminate this direct debit arrangement at any time by sending written notice to the Bank at the address specified at the end of this Agreement. If the Borrower
terminates this arrangement, then the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate per annum which is 0.5 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this
Agreement. 

  
 5.4 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in
this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to
amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. 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. 
  
 5.5 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, 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. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until
paid. 
  
 5.6 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default under this
Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest
otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default. 
  

	6.	CONDITIONS 

  
 Before the Bank is required to extend any credit to the Borrower under this Agreement, it must receive any documents and other items it may reasonably require, in form and content acceptable to the Bank, including any
items specifically listed below.

the amount owing to the Bank is Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or more. For purposes of this Agreement, “Obligor” shall mean any guarantor, any party pledging collateral to the Bank, or, if any Borrower is comprised of the trustees of a
trust, any trustor. 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, however, that the Bank will not be obligated to extend any additional credit to the Borrower during that period. 
  

9.3 Cross-default. Any default occurs under any agreement in connection with any credit any Borrower (or any Obligor) or any of the Borrower’s related
entities or affiliates has obtained from anyone else or which any Borrower (or any Obligor) or any of the Borrower’s related entities or affiliates has guaranteed in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more in the
aggregate, if the default is not cured within thirty (30) days.

against any Borrower, any Obligor, or any general partner of any Borrower or of any Obligor is dismissed within a period of sixty (60) days after the filing; provided, however, that the Bank will not be obligated to extend any additional credit to
the Borrower during that period; and provided further that such cure opportunity will be terminated upon the entry of an order for relief in any bankruptcy case arising from such a petition.

occurs with respect to a Plan of the Borrower subject to Title IV of ERISA, provided such event or events could reasonably be expected, in the judgment of the Bank, to subject the Borrower to any tax, penalty or liability (or any combination of the
foregoing) which, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Borrower: 
  

	(a)	A reportable event shall occur under Section 4043(c) of ERISA with respect to a Plan.

the date on which the Bank gives written notice of the breach to the Borrower. 
  

	10.	ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS 

  
 10.1 GAAP. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to the Bank and all financial covenants will be made under generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. 
  
 10.2 California
Law. This Agreement is governed by California state law. 
  
 10.3
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. The Bank may sell
participations in or assign this loan, and may exchange financial information about the Borrower with actual or potential participants or assignees. If a participation is sold or the loan is assigned, the purchaser will have the right of set-off
against the Borrower. 
  

	10.4	Arbitration and Waiver of Jury Trial 

  

	(a)	This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to
controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration
provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.

  

	(b)	At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the
“Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. 

  

	(c)	Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof
(“JAMS”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. 

  

	(d)	The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U. S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit
is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of
any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be
issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise
written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced. 

  

	(e)	The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of
the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement. 

  

	(f)	This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure
against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies. 

  

	(g)	 The procedure described above will not apply if the Claim, at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, arises from or relates to an obligation to the
Bank secured by real property. In this case, all of the parties to this agreement must consent to submission of the Claim to arbitration. If both parties do not consent to arbitration, the 

  

 13 

	 	 
Claim will be resolved as follows: The parties will designate a referee (or a panel of referees) selected under the auspices of JAMS in the same manner as
arbitrators are selected in JAMS administered proceedings. The designated referee(s) will be appointed by a court as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 and the following related sections. The referee (or presiding referee of
the panel) will be an active attorney or a retired judge. The award that results from the decision of the referee(s) will be entered as a judgment in the court that appointed the referee, in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 644 and 645. 

  

	(h)	The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to
arbitration. 

  

	(i)	By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending
in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this agreement. 

  
 10.5
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. If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later
default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing. 
  
 10.6
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 in connection with 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. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy
Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank
in such a case. As used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel. 
  
 10.7 One Agreement. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required by this Agreement, collectively: 
  

	(a)	represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; 

  

	(b)	replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; and 

  

	(c)	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. Any reference in any related document to a “promissory note” or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement, as
now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated. 
  
 10.8
Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required
hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be obligated to indemnify the Bank for any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity includes but is not limited to attorneys’ fees (including the
allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of the
Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and payable immediately without demand. 
  
 10.9 Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between the Bank and the Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement
shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage 

  

 14 

 
prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the signature
page, or to such other addresses as the Bank and the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail,
first class, postage prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, or (iii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered. 
  
 10.10 Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any
provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
agreement. 
  
 This Agreement is executed as of the date stated at the top of the
first page.
