  modified pursuant to this Amendment, the terms of the Agreement and the other
  Loan Documents remain unchanged, and in full force and effect.   Bank’s agreement to modifications to the

  and endorsers of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless the party
  is expressly released by Bank in writing.

EXHIBIT F

 

Prime Referenced Rate
Addendum To

Loan and Security
Agreement

 

This Prime Referenced Rate Addendum to
Loan and Security Agreement (this “Addendum”) is entered into as of June 23,
2009, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and OpenTable, Inc. (“Borrower”).  This Addendum supplements the terms of the
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 30, 2007 (as the same may be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, including
without limitation by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of September 18, 2008, and that certain Second
Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 23, 2009, collectively,
the “Agreement”).

 

1.                                       Definitions.  As used in this Addendum, the following terms
shall have the following meanings. 
Initially capitalized terms used and not defined in this Addendum shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

 

a.                                       “Applicable
Margin” means one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum.

 

b.                                      “Business
Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day designated
as a holiday under Federal or applicable State statute or regulation, on which
Bank is open for all or substantially all of its domestic and international
business (including dealings in foreign exchange) in  San Jose, California, and, in respect of notices and
determinations relating the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate, also a day on which
dealings in dollar deposits are also carried on in the London interbank market
and on which banks are open for business in London, England.

 

c.                                       “Daily
Adjusting LIBOR Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is
equal to the quotient of the following:

 

(1)                                  for
any day, the per annum rate of interest determined on the basis of the rate for
deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one (1) month
appearing on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information
Service as of 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as
practical) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the
immediately preceding Business Day.  In
the event that such rate does not appear on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg
Financial Markets Information Service (or otherwise on such Service) on any
day, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be determined by
reference to such other publicly available service for displaying eurodollar
rates as may be reasonably selected by Bank, or in the absence of such other
service, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall, instead, be determined
based upon the average of the rates at which Bank is offered dollar deposits at
or about 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical),
on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding
Business Day, in the interbank eurodollar market in an amount comparable to the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and for a period equal to one (1) month;

 

divided
by

 

(2)                                  1.00
minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) on such day at which Bank is required
to maintain reserves on “Euro-currency Liabilities” as defined in and pursuant
to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or, if
such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as Bank is required to
maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which includes eurodollar
deposits or includes a category of assets which includes eurodollar loans, the
rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained on such category.

 

d.                                      “Prime
Rate” means the per annum interest rate established by Bank as its prime rate
for its borrowers, as such rate may vary from time to time, which rate is not
necessarily the lowest rate on loans made by Bank at any such time.

 

e.                                       “Prime
Referenced Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal
to the Prime Rate in effect on such day, but in no event and at no time shall
the Prime Referenced Rate be less than the sum of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR
Rate for such day plus two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum. If, at any
time, Bank determines that it is unable to determine or ascertain the Daily
Adjusting LIBOR Rate for any day, the Prime Referenced Rate for each such day
shall be the Prime Rate in effect at such time, but not less than two and
one-half percent (2.50%) per annum.

 

2.                                       Interest
Rate.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum,
the Obligations under the Agreement shall bear interest at the Prime Referenced
Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 

1

 

3.                                       Payment
of Interest.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
balance of the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall be payable
monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, until maturity (whether as
stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). 
In
the event that any payment under this Addendum becomes due and payable on any
day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall
continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates
set forth in this Addendum.  Interest
accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and
shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such
computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest
rate as a result of any change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each
such change.

 

4.                                       Bank’s
Records.  The amount and date of each advance under the
Agreement, its applicable interest rate, and the amount and date of any
repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive
evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, any
failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation,
shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable
by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Addendum and the Agreement, when
due in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

5.                                       Default
Interest Rate.  From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, and so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured
thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall bear interest
at a per annum rate of five percent (5%) above the otherwise applicable
interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand.  In addition to the foregoing, a late payment
charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment hereunder may be charged
on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after
the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge
shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under the Agreement.  In no event shall the interest payable under
this Addendum and the Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted
by law.

 

6.                                       Prepayment.   Borrower
may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Obligations at any
time without premium or penalty.  Any
prepayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment of all accrued
and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. 
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not, in
any way whatsoever, limit, restrict, or otherwise affect Bank’s right to make
demand for payment of all or any part of the Obligations under the Agreement
due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

7.                                       Regulatory
Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate.

 

a.                                       If
the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any
applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall
subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Addendum or
any Obligations under the Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of
payments to Bank of the principal of or interest under this Addendum or any
other amounts due under this Addendum in respect thereof (except for changes in
the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the jurisdiction
in which Bank’s principal executive office is located); or (b) shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign
exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Addendum or
the Obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations hereunder
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Addendum
by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to
Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower=s
receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or
reduction.  A certificate of Bank, prepared
in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower,
setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts
necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

 

b.                                      In
the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether
domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently
applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any
such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any
risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling
Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or
based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the maintaining
of any Obligations hereunder, and such increase has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a
consequence of such obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation)
could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its
policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to Bank,
within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank
demanding such compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate
Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of
capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable
to the existence of any obligations of the Bank hereunder or to maintaining any
Obligations hereunder.  A certificate of
Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in
reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by Bank to the undersigned, shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

8.                                       Legal
Effect.  Except as specifically modified hereby, all
of the terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

9.                                       Conflicts.  As to the matters specifically the subject of
this Addendum, in the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the
Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have
agreed to the foregoing as of the date first set forth above.

employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands,
actions, causes of action, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of

representations contained herein.

      

      (b)           Validsoft

Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, and together shall constitute one and the same
document.  Delivery by such counterparts by electronic transmission

      (e)           All
section headings in this Agreement have been included herein for reference
purposes only and are not to be used in the interpretation of this
Agreement.

      

      (f)           This
Agreement constitutes the joint product of the parties hereto.  Each
provision has been subject to the mutual consultation and agreement of the
parties and shall not be construed for or against either of them by reason of
authorship.

      (k)           The

        (l)           All
transactions entered into between either party (or any of its Affiliates) and
the other or any third party pursuant to this Agreement shall be conducted in
good faith and on the basis set out or referred to in this Agreement or, if not
provided for in this Agreement, as may be agreed by the parties and, in the
absence of such agreement, on an arms length basis.  Each party shall
at all times act in good faith towards the other and shall use all reasonable
endeavours to ensure that this Agreement is observed on a good faith
basis.  Each Party shall do all things necessary and desirable to give
effect to the spirit and intention of this Agreement.

        

        (m)           Notwithstanding
Section 8.1(g) above jurisdiction and proceedings all notices, claims, disputes
and all other matters in or relating to this Agreement and dealings between the
parties shall be conducted in the English language.  If this Agreement
is translated into any language other than English, the English language text
shall prevail.

        

        (n)           In
the event of a dispute arising from this Agreement, such dispute will first be
submitted to the chief executive officer of each party for resolution.  The
chief executive officer of each party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve
such dispute for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.  In the event
that the chief executive officers of both parties have been unable to reach
accord using the procedures set forth in the foregoing sentence in such thirty
day time period, and only if such is the case, either party may seek final
resolution of the matter through binding arbitration.  Any such arbitration
will be held in the Netherlands in accordance with the then existing arbitration
rules of the Netherlands and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The decision of
the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be
accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator explaining the arbitrator’s
rationale for the decision.  The party losing the arbitration shall pay all
fees and costs of the arbitrator.   The intent of the Parties is that
except for the entering of an arbitration order in a court of competent
jurisdiction, disputes will be resolved finally in arbitration as provided
above, without appeal, and without recourse to litigation in the
courts.  From and after the commencement of a dispute with respect to
this Agreement and continuing through the date upon which such dispute is
resolved by the parties, payments related solely to the issue in dispute shall
cease for the term in which such dispute is unresolved and any payments
unrelated to the issue in dispute shall continue to be
made.
