 Exhibit 10.8 
  

			
	

	 	 AMENDED AND RESTATED

BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Business Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and
ELLIE MAE, INC., a California corporation (“Borrower) as of June 20, 2006, at Bank’s Western Market headquarters office at 333 West Santa Clara Street, San Jose, California 95113. 

WHEREAS, each undersigned Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Business Loan Agreement, dated March 17, 2005 (as modified, amended,
supplemented or revised from time to time, the “Prior Agreement”). Borrower and Bank desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety in accordance herewith. 

NOW THEREFOR, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereof, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree the Prior Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in full as follows: 
 1.        Credit Facilities. 

(a)        Revolving Loan.  Bank shall make available to Borrower a revolving line of
credit in the maximum principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Maximum Revolving Amount”) which shall be evidenced by the Master Revolving Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Master
Revolving Note, from time to time prior to the maturity date set forth in the Master Revolving Note, Bank shall, upon Borrower’s request in accordance with this Agreement, make advances (each a “Revolving Loan,” and collectively, the
“Revolving Loans”) to Borrower in an aggregate amount outstanding not to exceed at any one time the Maximum Revolving Amount minus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, the proceeds
of which shall be used by Borrower only for general working capital. If at any time for any reason, the amount of indebtedness owed by Borrower to Bank with respect to the Revolving Loans plus the issued and outstanding amount of all Letters
of Credit is greater than the Maximum Revolving Amount, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. 

(1)        Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of
the Master Revolving Note, provided, that the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date set forth in the Master Revolving
Note. 
 (2)        The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall not
exceed Zero Dollars ($-0-) for a period of not less than sixty (60) consecutive days prior to the last day of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement. 

(b)        Letter of Credit Subfacility.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the availability of Revolving Loans, from time to time prior to the maturity date set forth in the Master Revolving Note Bank shall issue for the account of Borrower such standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of
Credit,” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) as Borrower may request, which requests shall be made by delivering to Bank a duly executed letter of credit application on Bank’s standard form; provided,
however, that the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) in the aggregate (the “Letter of Credit Subfacility”). 

(1)        Unless agreed to in writing by Bank, each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall have an
expiration that is no later than maturity date set forth in the Master Revolving Note. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s
form letter of credit application and agreement and such other agreements as are required by Bank. Borrower shall pay all usual issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrower it will be charged for issuing and processing Letters of Credit for
Borrower. Any existing letters of credit issued by Bank for Borrower shall be included as Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Subfacility. 

(2)        The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit application and agreement with respect to each such Letter of Credit. In the absence of such reimbursement, the amount so advanced
immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an advance under the Master Revolving Note, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans thereunder. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Bank
harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Bank, whether in-house or outside counsel is used, arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit.

 (3)        If at any time for any reason, the amount of indebtedness owed by Borrower to Bank
with respect to the Revolving Loans plus all Letters of Credit issued on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement is greater than the Maximum Revolving Amount, or the outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit issued on behalf of Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement is greater than the Letter of Credit Subfacility, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. 

(4)        Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) at any time following the occurrence and during
the continuation of any Default, and/or (ii) termination of Bank’s commitment obligation to make advances, loans or otherwise extent credit to or in favor of Borrower under the Master Revolving Note

and the other Loan Documents, in the event that and to the extent that there are any outstanding and undrawn amounts under any Letters of Credit, at such time, upon demand of Bank, Borrower shall
deliver to Bank, or cause to be delivered to Bank, cash collateral in an amount not less than any such outstanding and undrawn amounts under any such Letters of Credit, which cash collateral shall be held and retained by Bank as cash collateral for
the repayment of such any drawings under any such Letter of Credit, together with any and all other indebtedness of Borrower to Bank remaining unpaid, and Borrower pledges to Bank and grants to Bank a continuing first priority security interest in
any such cash collateral so delivered to Bank. Alternatively, Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Bank an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued in favor of Bank by a bank acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion, in an amount not less
than any such outstanding and undrawn amounts under any such Letter of Credit, and upon terms acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion. 

(5)        Any existing letters of credit issued by Bank on behalf of Borrower prior to the date of this
Agreement shall be included in the indebtedness hereunder. 
 (c)        Equipment
Loans.  Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Equipment Note, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Bank shall make equipment loans (each an “Equipment Loan,” and collectively the
“Equipment Loans”) to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower shall request at any time and from time to time through December 31, 2007 (the “Equipment Loan Availability End Date”), in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower only for the acquisition of new machinery, equipment, tenant improvements and software for use in Borrower’s locations identified
in Schedule 3, to this Agreement. Any commitment of Bank, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to make Equipment Loans shall expire on the Equipment Loan Availability End Date. Equipment Loans that are repaid by Borrower may not be
reborrowed. 
 (1)        Each request for an Equipment Loan hereunder shall be in writing, duly
executed by Borrower in form satisfactory to Bank, and shall be irrevocable upon receipt by Bank. Each such notice shall be received by Bank no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested
Equipment Loan is to be made. The notice shall include a copy of the invoice for the machinery, equipment, tenant improvements and software to be financed, evidencing that each such item was purchased by Borrower not more than ninety (90) days
prior to the date of any such requested Equipment Loan. 
 (2)        Each request for an
Equipment Loan hereunder shall be accompanied by a Compliance Certificate demonstrating Borrower’s compliance with each financial covenant applicable to it as of any such date, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. 

(3)        Equipment Loans shall only be used to finance Borrower’s purchase of new machinery,
equipment, tenant improvements and software approved by Bank from time to time, and shall be limited to one hundred (100%) of the invoice amount for any such new machinery, equipment, tenant improvements and software approved by Bank, less any
taxes, shipping and freight charges or discounts, warranty charges, installation expenses and other soft costs; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Equipment loans made for the purpose of financing the acquisition of
tenant improvements and software shall not exceed the lesser of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000). 

(4)        Prior to the Equipment Loan Availability End Date, interest only on the outstanding principal
amount of all Equipment Loans shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each month, through and including the Equipment Loan Availability End Date. On the Equipment Loan Availability End Date the outstanding amount of all Equipment Loans
shall be converted to a term loan payable in thirty (30) equal payments of principal plus interest, due and payable on the last business day of each month commencing on January 31, 2008. 

(d)        Additional Loans To Borrower.  Bank and Borrower agree that all
present and future Loans which Bank in its sole discretion has made or may now or hereafter make to Borrower shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Bank and Borrower. In the event
there are contradictions between the provisions of this Agreement and any other written agreement with the Bank, this Agreement shall prevail. All Loans shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, promissory note(s) executed in
connection herewith and/or previously or subsequently executed, and all amendments, renewals and extensions thereof (sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively with the Master Revolving Note and the Equipment Note as the “Notes,” and
each individually as a “Note”), and all those certain security agreements and/or such other security or other documents as Bank has required or may now or hereafter require in connection with the Loans or the Notes (collectively with this
Agreement and the Notes, the “Loan Documents”). Any commitment of Bank to make Loans or otherwise extend financial accommodations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall expire on the maturity date set forth in the applicable
Note evidencing such Loan, subject to Bank’s right to renew said commitment in its sole and absolute discretion at Borrower’s request. Any such renewal of said commitment shall not be binding upon Bank unless it is in writing and signed by
an officer of Bank. 
 2.        Legal Effect.  This Agreement supplements the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise specified herein, all terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as given in the Notes and/or Loan Documents which are incorporated herein by this reference. Any and all

(c)        In addition to any other amounts due, or to become due, concurrently with the execution hereof,

      (1)        Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally,
directly, and primarily liable to Bank for payment in full of the Indebtedness and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations and liabilities of the other Borrower. The Agreement, Notes and/or Loan Documents are a primary and
original obligation of each Borrower, are not the creation of a surety relationship, and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing promise of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes
in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein might be construed to consist, at least in part, of
the guaranty of obligations of persons or entities other than such Borrower (including any other Borrower party hereto) and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Bank may, at any time and from time to time,

restructuring or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Indebtedness, and any such merger, change, restructuring, or termination shall not affect the liability

     (2)        Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Bank may enforce the Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Bank at any time may have or hold in connection with the Indebtedness, and it shall not be
necessary for Bank at any time may have or hold in connection with the Indebtedness, and it shall not be necessary for Bank to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against or exhaust any security or
remedy before proceeding to enforce the Agreement and other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Bank to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Borrower or any
Collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that Bank may proceed against Borrowers or any Collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. 

     (3)        Bank may file a separate action or actions against any Borrower,
whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other person, or whether any other person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Bank and any Borrower and any affiliate of any Borrower
may deal with each other in connection with the Indebtedness or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any altering or affecting the continuing efficacy
of the Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

     (4)        Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be reinstated
and revived, and the enforceability of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Indebtedness which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Bank, all
as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of Bank created herein and the enforceability of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain effective to cover the full amount of all the Indebtedness even though the
Indebtedness, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower and whether or not any other Borrower shall have any personal liability
with respect thereto. 
      (5)        To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law and to the extent that a Borrower is deemed a guarantor, each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any other Borrower with
respect to the Indebtedness, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Indebtedness or lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Indebtedness, (c) the
cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Indebtedness), (d) any failure of the Bank to marshal assets in favor of Bank or any Borrower or any other
person, (e) any failure of Bank to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to any Borrower or any other Person or any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (f) any failure of Bank
to comply with applicable law in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, including any failure of Bank to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or
other security for any Obligation, (g) any act or omission of Bank or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or the Indebtedness or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or
otherwise, (h) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation
in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of Bank to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by Bank of the application or non-application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (1) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any lien in favor of Bank for any reason, or (o) any
action taken by Bank that is authorized by the Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document. Until such time as all of the Indebtedness have been fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid in full in cash: (i) each Borrower hereby waives
and postpones any right of subrogation it has or may have as against any other Borrower respect to the Indebtedness; and (ii) in addition, each Borrower also hereby waives and postpones any right to proceed or to seek recourse against or with
respect to any property or asset of any other Borrower. Each Borrower expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payments or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest,
notices dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Indebtedness, and all notices of acceptance of the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or of the existence, creation or incurring of new or
additional Indebtedness. 
  

 -9- 
  

 

 (6)        In the event that all or any part of the
Indebtedness at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting liens on any interests in real property, each Borrower authorizes Bank, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting the obligations of any Borrower, the enforceability of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or the validity or enforceability of any liens of Bank, to
foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale. 

(7)        Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this
Agreement, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Indebtedness is secured by real property. This means, among other things: 

(i)         Bank may collect from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal
property pledged as Collateral by any other Borrower to secure the Indebtedness. 

(ii)        If Bank forecloses on any real property pledged as Collateral by any Borrower: 

    (a)        the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price
for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price. 

    (b)        Bank may collect from any Borrower even if Bank, by
foreclosing on the real property pledged as Collateral, has destroyed any right that Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. 

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Indebtedness is secured by Real
Property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 

(8)        To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that a Borrower is deemed a
guarantor, each Borrower expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any rights of Bank created or granted hereby or to the recovery by Bank against any Borrower or any other Person liable
therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of Borrowers and may preclude Borrowers from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from other
Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower expressly waives any suretyship defenses or benefits that it otherwise might or would have under applicable law. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER
PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY BANK, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL
FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR THE INDEBTEDNESS, HAS DESTROYED SUCH BORROWER’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST THE OTHER BORROWERS BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SECTION 580d OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE
OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, OR OTHERWISE. 
 14.      JURY WAIVER.  THE BORROWER AND THE BANK
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS,
HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDEBTEDNESS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES. 
 15.      Judicial Reference Provision.

Judicial Reference Provision. 
 (b)     With the exception of the items specified in clause (c), below, any

parties (collectively in this Section, the “Comerica Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure
(“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Comerica Documents,
venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise

to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition
to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein. 

(d)     The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the
parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment
of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee
selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). 
 (e)     The parties agree that
time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement
of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision. 
 (f)     The referee
will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless
otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded
to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding. 

(g)     Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is
conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except
for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party
making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at
trial. 
 (h)     The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and
the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal
relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a
decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner
as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The
parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this
provision. 
 (i)     If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no
successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance
with the California Arbitration Act § 1280 through § 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding. 

(j)     THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE
PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES
THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDEBTEDNESS OR THE OTHER COMERICA DOCUMENTS. 

16.      Counterparts, Prior Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement, together with each other document, instrument and agreement entered into with or in
favor of Bank in connection herewith and in connection with the Prior Agreement, to the extent not amended and restated hereby, constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and, as applicable
amends and restates in full the Prior Agreement and any other agreement, written or oral, with respect thereto. Borrower ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, mortgages, deeds
of trust, environmental agreements, and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Prior Agreement that are not amended and restated in connection with this Agreement.
