Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(a) shall be immediately due and payable.

The Term Advance shall be payable in thirty six (36) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on February 10, 2015 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Term Maturity Date, at which time all amounts owing under this Section 2.1(b) and any other amounts owing under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable. Term Advances, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

(iii) Borrower shall have the option to prepay all or a portion of the Term Advance, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay such amount of the Term Advance at least five (5) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Bank on the date of such prepayment an amount equal to the sum of (A) the outstanding principal of the Term Advance being prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) a fee equal to 2% of the principal amount of the Term Advance being prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Prepayment Fee”), plus (C) all other Obligations that are due and payable, including Bank Expenses and interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Prepayment Fee if the prepayment results in Borrower’s cure of its noncompliance (or anticipated noncompliance) with any one or more of the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.9 or if such prepayment is made using proceeds from a new Credit Extension or loan facility provided by Bank.

2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.

2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates.

(i) Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at an annual rate equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate.

(ii) Term Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Advance shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at an annual rate equal to two percent (2.0%) above the Prime Rate.

(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law, not in any case to be less than $25.00. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default. Bank shall provide Borrower with written notice any interest rate changes or other fees as a result of this Section 2.3(b).

(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the tenth calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.

(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

(a) Facility Fees. (i) On the Closing Date and on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a fee with respect to the Revolving Facility equal to $15,000, and (ii) on the Closing Date, a fee with respect to the Term Advance equal to $10,000, each of which are fully earned and nonrefundable; and

2.6 Term.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice to Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Bank shall provide notice to Borrower of such actions; however failure to provide such notice to Borrower shall not limit, obviate or impair Bank’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

2.7 Extension of Maturity. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Bank shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to extend the Revolving Maturity Date to the tenth day of the month next following the actual Revolving Maturity Date as stated in this Agreement.

2.8 Payment Deferral. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the Term Advance is made under this Agreement within ten days prior to the date upon which the first regularly scheduled payment of interest on the Term Advance (“First Monthly Payment”) would otherwise have been due as specified in Section 2.1(b), then Borrower shall make the first regularly scheduled monthly payment of interest on the same day of the calendar month immediately following the date on which the Term Advance is made, and the Term Maturity Date shall be extended for a period that is equal to the time difference between the regularly scheduled date of the First Monthly Payment as specified in Section 2.1(b) and the date on which the First Monthly Payment is actually due as a result of the application of this Section.

Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens described in clause (c) of such defined term, which are permitted to have seniority over Bank’s Lien) and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof (subject only to Permitted Liens described in clause (c) of such defined term, which are permitted to have seniority over Bank’s Lien).

Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral (each with a value in excess of $25,000, or with a combined aggregate value in excess of $100,000) and shall execute and deliver all financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound where the default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3 No Prior Encumbrances. Borrower has good and marketable title to its property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

(i) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower, and any surplus will be paid to the Borrower or to other persons legally entitled thereto.

9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.

9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems reasonably necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

9.7 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

This Agreement and all other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa Clara, State of California. BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

 

20


12. JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION.

12.1 In the event the jury trial waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under the following judicial reference provision.

12.2 With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), 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 Loan 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 appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

12.3 The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party 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.

12.4 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).

12.5 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.

12.6 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.

12.7 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.

 

21


12.8 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.

12.9 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.

12.10 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 OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.

13.2 Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for losses (other than any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or losses) arising from by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

13.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

22


13.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

13.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

13.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

13.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information Bank and all employees and agents of Bank, including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions so long as such prospective transferee or purchaser is subject to similar confidentiality obligations, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.

13.9 Patriot Act Notice. Bank hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “ Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow Bank, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

14. NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT.

BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND AGREES THAT: (A) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, (B) THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND (C) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE PARTIES.

LOAN AND SECURITY MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Loan and Security Modification Agreement is entered into as of November 12, 2014 by and between ADHARMONICS, INC. (the “Borrower”) and BRIDGE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”).

1.

It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement.

Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

5. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Loan Documents, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Loan and Security Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement (in each case other than representations and warranties made as of a specific date, in which case such date) and that, other than the Covenant Default, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Loan Documents pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Loan and Security Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent loan and security modification agreements.

6. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; REFERENCE PROVISION. This Loan and Security Modification Agreement constitutes a “Loan Document” as defined and set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, and is subject to Sections 11 and 12 of the Loan and Security Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.

7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

(a) evidence of Borrower’s receipt of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of its equity securities to Savano Capital Partners;

LOAN AND SECURITY MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Loan and Security Modification Agreement is entered into as of March 16, 2018 by and between EVERQUOTE, INC., formerly known as AdHarmonics, Inc. (“Borrower”) and WESTERN ALLIANCE BANK, as successor in interest to BridgeBank, National Association (“Bank”).

1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to, among other documents, a Loan and Security Agreement by and between Borrower and Bank, dated August 11, 2014 and as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement.

2. EVENTS OF DEFAULT: WAIVER. Borrower acknowledges that there are existing and uncured Events of Default arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with the trailing six-month EBITDA covenant set forth in Section 6.9(b) of the Loan and Security Agreement for the periods ended June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017 (the “Covenant Defaults”). Subject to the conditions contained herein and performance by Borrower of all of the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement after the date hereof, Bank waives the Covenant Defaults. Bank does not waive Borrower’s obligations under such section after the date hereof and as amended hereby, and Bank does not waive any other failure by Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

3. REPAYMENT OF TERM II ADVANCE. On the date hereof, Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Term II Advance, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

4. MODIFICATION(S) TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT.

A. The following definitions in Section 1.1 are added, or amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

“Adjusted EBDA” means, for any period, Borrower’s earnings before depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash stock compensation expense, for such period, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

“Revolving Line” means a credit extension of up to Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000).

“Prime Rate” means the greater of four and one quarter percent (4.25%) or the Prime Rate published in the Money Rates section of the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal, or such other rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate.

“Revolving Maturity Date” means March 16, 2020.

B. Section 2.5(a)(i) is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(i) On March 16, 2018 and the first anniversary thereof, a fee with respect to the Revolving Facility equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Revolving Line; each of which are fully earned on the due date thereof and once paid are nonrefundable;

C. Section 6.9 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

6.9 Financial Covenants.

(a) Asset Coverage Ratio. Borrower shall maintain at all times a ratio of Borrower’s unrestricted cash maintained in accounts at Bank plus the amount of all Eligible Accounts (as calculated and on line #15 of the Borrowing Base Certificate) to the amount of all Obligations owing to Bank of at least 1.50 to 1.00.


D. The following is added to the end of Section 6, as a new Section 6.14:

6.14 Lockbox and Collections Account.

(a) On and after the ninetieth (90th) day following written notice by Bank to Borrower (the “Lockbox Notice”), but subject to subsections (b) and (c) below, all proceeds of Accounts shall be deposited into a post office box under Bank’s control (a “Lockbox”) or a restricted account maintained with Bank (the “Collections Account”), pursuant to the terms of such lockbox and account agreements as Bank shall reasonably request from time to time (the “Lockbox Agreements”). Borrower shall thereafter use the Lockbox and Collections Account address as the remit to and payment address for all proceeds of Accounts. Thereafter, if Borrower receives any amount despite such instructions, Borrower shall immediately deliver such payment to Bank in the form received, except for an endorsement to the order of Bank and, pending such delivery, shall hold such payment in trust for Bank. Bank shall credit all amounts deposited into Lockbox or the Collections Account to Borrower’s operating account maintained at Bank within two (2) Business Days after clearance of such deposits; provided however that upon an Event of Default that is continuing, Bank may, at its option credit all or any portion of amounts paid into the Collections Account first against any amounts owing to Bank, and then any remaining balance of such amount shall be credited to Borrower’s operating account maintained at Bank. Bank may, in its sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Borrower’s account debtors of the assignment of such Accounts to Bank, and take such other actions as set forth in the Lockbox Agreements. Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall cause any third-party payment processors to execute and deliver an acknowledgment and payment direction letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

(b) Bank shall only deliver a Lockbox Notice to Borrower if (i) an Event of Default has occurred that is continuing or (ii) if the result of dividing (x) the sum of Borrower’s unrestricted cash at Bank plus the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility (assuming for this purpose that no default or Event of Default is then continuing) by (y) the absolute value of the average of Borrowers’ monthly Adjusted EBDA for the trailing three month period (“Remaining Months Liquidity”), measured as of the last day of the most recently completed month, is less than six (6).

(c) If, within forty-five (45) days following the delivery of the Lockbox Notice, Bank receives evidence satisfactory to Bank that Borrower has received sufficient cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of its equity securities (or convertible notes that constitute Subordinated Debt) such that the Remaining Months Liquidity is nine (9) or greater, then Borrower need not comply with subsection (a) above.

E. Exhibit D to the Loan and Security Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the Exhibit D attached hereto.

3. CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Loan Documents are each hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

4. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL RELEASE. Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under Loan Documents. Each of Borrower and its affiliates (each, a “Releasing Party”) acknowledges that Bank would not enter into this Loan and Security Modification Agreement without Releasing Party’s assurance that it has no claims against Bank or any of Bank’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for the obligations arising hereafter under this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, each Releasing Party releases Bank, and each of Bank’s and entity’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Bank of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not


limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Loan and Security Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

5. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Loan Documents, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Loan and Security Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement (in each case other than representations and warranties made as of a specific date, in which case such date) and that, other than the Covenant Defaults, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Loan Documents pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Loan and Security Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent loan and security modification agreements.

5. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE: JURY TRIAL WAIVER: REFERENCE PROVISION. This Loan and Security Modification Agreement constitutes a “Loan Document” as defined and set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, and is subject to Sections 11 and 12 of the Loan and Security Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.

6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, Bank shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, the following:

(a) payment of a facility fee with respect to the Revolving Facility set forth above, plus an amount equal to all Bank Expenses incurred through the date hereof;

(b) corporate resolutions and incumbency certificate; and

(c) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
