Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of April 8, 2011, by and between BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association (the “Bank”) and GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”).

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Borrower and Bank are parties to a Loan Agreement dated April 27, 2009, which was previously amended on June 9, 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Bank made a secured term loan to the Borrower. The Borrower has requested that the Bank also provide a revolving line of credit. The Bank is willing to provide such a revolving line of credit on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and to amend and restate the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. VARIABLE RATE TERM LOAN

1.1 Loan Amount.

The Bank has provided a loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Six Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,675,000.00) (the “Term Loan”).

1.2 Single Disbursement of Term Loan.

The Term Loan has been made by a single disbursement.

1.3 Repayment Terms.

(a)

The Borrower will pay accrued interest on the principal balance of the Term Loan commencing on June 1, 2009, and thereafter on the same day of each month, until payment in full of the Term Loan, such interest to be computed in accordance with Section 1.4.

(b)

The Borrower will also make principal payments in equal monthly installments of One Hundred Forty Two Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Eight and 89/100 Dollars ($142,638.89) beginning on June 1, 2009 and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. In addition to the foregoing monthly payments of principal, not later than March 31, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) the Borrower shall repay to the Bank the remaining unpaid principal, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, as defined in Article 4 below.

(c)

Upon not less than ten (10) banking days irrevocable written notice received by the Bank from the Borrower, the Borrower may prepay the Term Loan in full or in part only on the first (1st) day of the calendar month that is so noted in such notice. Any such noticed prepayment shall be unconditionally due on such stated date for such prepayment in the notice. Such prepayment must be accompanied with (i) the payment of any termination, reinvestment, or breakage costs incurred by the Bank if such prepayment is not received on the first (1st) day of the calendar month that is noted in such prepayment notice; and (ii) a prepayment fee as follows:

Date of Prepayment		Percentage of Prepaid Amount
Prior to March 31, 2012		0.50%

Provided that, if the prepayment is a prepayment in full and made in connection with either:

(A) a refinancing transaction, the proceeds of which are used to both (x) repay the Term Loan and all other amounts payable to the Bank in full, and (y) to finance material improvements to the real property and improvements thereon comprising the Collateral (as defined below); or

(B) a new market tax credit financing transaction, the proceeds of which are used to repay the Term Loan and all other amounts payable to the Bank in full;

then a prepayment fee as follows:

Date of Prepayment		Percentage of Prepaid Amount
Prior to March 31, 2012		0.25%

Provided further that, if the Bank is either the only lender or is the primary lender of any financing covered by clause (A) of the preceding sentence, then no prepayment fee will be required.

Each such prepayment will be applied (A) first, to the payment of any such termination, reinvestment, or breakage fee; (B) second, to the Prepayment Fee; and then; (C) third, to the most remote payment of principal due under this Agreement. The Borrower shall also pay to the Bank, in addition to any late fee or default, interest on any noticed prepayment that is not timely made, all costs, expenses, fees and losses incurred by Bank as a result of such failure, including any termination, reinvestment or breakage fee.

1.4 Interest Rate.

(a)

The interest rate on the unpaid amount of the Term Loan shall be a rate per year equal to the BBA LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically), plus two hundred (200) basis points.

(b)

The interest rate will be adjusted on the first (1st) day of every calendar month (the “Adjustment Date”) and remain fixed until the next Adjustment Date. If the Adjustment Date in any particular month would otherwise fall on a day that is not a banking day then, at the Bank’s option, the Adjustment Date for that particular calendar month will be the first banking day immediately following thereafter.

(b)

The BBA LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically) is a rate of interest equal to the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or another commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined for each Adjustment Date at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the Adjustment Date, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term of one month, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason or if the Bank determines in its sole discretion that such rate no longer accurately reflects its cost of funds, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank provided that the effect of such alternative method is to provide for an interest rate that is generally comparable in market performance and fluctuation as the BBA LIBOR immediately prior to such rate not being available or not reflecting the cost of funds. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

2. VARIABLE RATE REVOLVER COMMITMENT

2.1 Revolver Commitment.

The Bank agrees to provide a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver” and the Term Loan and outstanding amounts advanced under the Revolver, the “Loans”) to the Borrower in the maximum principal amount of Fifty Million and no/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (the “Revolver Commitment”).

2.2 Purpose of Revolver and Availability.

2.2.1 Purpose.

Amounts advanced on the Revolver shall be used by the Borrower only to fund working capital, capital expenditures, repurchase shares of Borrower, and other lawful general corporate expenses and purposes of Borrower.

2.2.2 Availability.

Advances on the Revolver will be fully available to the Borrower as of the date hereof and through March 30, 2016 (“Availability Period”), or such earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the “Expiration Date”).

(a)

During the Availability Period, the Bank will provide the Revolver to the Borrower in the maximum amount of the Revolver Commitment.

(b)

At no time may the outstanding principal amount advanced on the Revolver exceed the Revolver Commitment. If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon the Bank’s demand.

(c)

The Revolver is a revolving line of credit. During the Availability Period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts advanced thereunder and, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, reborrow them.

2.3 Request for Advances.

Any requests for advances on the Revolver by the Borrower shall be made by delivering to the Bank a written request in the form of Request of Revolver Advance attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3, executed by a duly authorized officer designated by the Borrower. Each Request for an advance on the Revolver shall constitute, without the necessity of a specific written statement, a representation and warranty by the Borrower, as of the date of such request for, and the Bank’s making of, such an advance that (i) all of the Borrower’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the advance (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date); (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iv) no Event of Default will result from such advance.

2.4 Repayment Terms.

(a)

The Borrower will pay accrued interest on the principal balance of the outstanding advances on the Revolver commencing on May 1, 2011, and thereafter on the same day of each month, until payment in full of the Revolver, such interest to be computed in accordance with Section 2.5.

(b)

Not later than the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Bank all outstanding and unpaid principal, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, and the Collateral Documents, as defined in Article 4 below.

2.5 Interest Rate.

(a)

The interest rate on the outstanding amounts advanced on the Revolver shall be a rate per year equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, plus two hundred (200) basis points.

(b)

The BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is a fluctuating rate of interest which can change on each banking day. The rate will be adjusted on each banking day to equal the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”) for U.S. Dollar deposits for delivery on the date in question for a one month term beginning on that date. The Bank will use the BBA LIBOR Rate as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

2.6 Standby Letters of Credit.

(a)

During the Availability Period, at the request of the Borrower and pursuant to this Agreement, the Bank will issue standby letters of credit with a maximum maturity of one year, but in no event shall the maturity ever extend beyond the Expiration Date.

(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 the aggregate of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00).

(c)

In calculating the principal amount outstanding under the Revolver 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 the Revolver Commitment. The amount will bear interest and be due as described elsewhere in this Agreement.

(ii)

(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)

(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 fee equal to 2.00% per annum (the “LC Rate”) of the outstanding undrawn amount of each standby letter of credit, payable annually in advance, calculated on the basis of the face amount outstanding on the day the fee is calculated.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES

3.1 Fees.

(a)

Loan Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a loan fee (i) in consideration for the extension of the Maturity Date of the Term Loan in the amount of Fifty Six Thousand Three Hundred Forty Two and 36/100 Dollars ($56,342.36), and (ii) in consideration for the Revolver Commitment in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($200,000.00). The loan fees shall be paid by the Borrower on the date of this Agreement and shall be fully paid and non-refundable upon receipt by the Bank.

(b)

Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the Revolver Commitment and the outstanding amounts actually advanced on the Revolver at any time and from time to time, determined by the daily amount of advances outstanding on the Revolver during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at 0.25% per year.

This fee is due on May 1, 2011 and on the same day of each following month until the expiration of the Availability Period.

(c)

Late Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of any delinquent payment of principal or interest that is more than ten (10) calendar 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. This fee shall be in addition to the accrual of interest at the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 5.6 below.

(d)

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.

3.2 Expenses.

The Borrower agrees to repay the Bank within ten (10) days after request or invoice for all expenses and costs incurred by the Bank in connection with the Loans, which may include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal fees, survey fees, title report fees, title insurance premiums, and documentation fees.

Expenses shall include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b)

The Borrower agrees to also reimburse the Bank for the cost and expense of periodic field examinations of the Collateral, and appraisals of the Collateral, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require; provided, however, that so long as there is no Event of Default, Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) appraisal in any calendar year. The actions described in this paragraph shall include, without limitation, the actions taken pursuant to Section 8.23 below, and may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers.

4. DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND COLLATERAL

A Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of April 27, 2009, as amended and restated on April 8, 2011 (the “Deed of Trust”) which shall cover the approximately 100 acres of land located at 3300 West Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85017-3030 and the other property, rights and interest described in the Deed of Trust.

A Security Agreement dated as of April 8, 2011 (the “Security Agreement”).

The Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and any other document executed at any time by the Borrower to secure the Loans are collectively, the “Collateral Documents”.

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 debit to a deposit account, as described in this Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Borrower. For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking centers in Phoenix, Arizona, or at such other banking center designated by the Bank, or by such other method as may be permitted or directed by the Bank.

(b)

The Bank may honor instructions for repayments or prepayments given by any one of the individuals authorized to sign this Agreement or the Collateral Documents on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated in a writing delivered to the Bank by any one of such authorized signers (each an “Authorized Individual”).

(c)

For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to a deposit account, the Borrower will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover such debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.

(d)

The disbursement of the Loan and each advance under the Revolver by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower on the Loans will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank, and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign a promissory note to further evidence the Loans, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans, plus interest.

(e)

Not later than five (5) calendar days prior to the date each payment of principal and interest or any fees, costs or expenses from the Borrower becomes due (each a “Due Date”), the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on the stated Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The due date for any payment by Borrower shall not be delayed or postponed if for any reason (A) Bank does not timely mail any such statement; or (B) Borrower does not timely receive such statement. The calculations in each such billing statement will be made on the assumption that no 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. If the Billed Amount differs from the actual amount due on the stated Due Date (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.

(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. Interest shall also accrue on any fees, costs or expenses that are not paid by the Borrower upon presentment of the amount to the Borrower. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment.

5.2 Telephone and Telefax Authorization.

(a)

The Bank may honor telephone, telefax or e-mail instructions for repayments or prepayments given, or purported to be given, by any one of the Authorized Individuals.

(b)

The Borrower will fully indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone, telefax or e-mail instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any Authorized Individual. This section will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.

5.3 Direct Debit.

(a)

The Borrower agrees that on each Due Date the Bank will debit the Billed Amount from one of Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower (the “Designated Account”).

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 of Arizona, 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.

Following the occurrence of an Event of Default or after maturity of or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any (a) interest; or (b) fees, costs or expenses which are not paid within two (2) business days after the date when due will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is (and the LC Rate will increase to a rate which is) six hundred (600) basis points higher than the applicable interest rate (or the LC Rate) in effective and accruing immediately prior to such occurrence, maturity or judgment. This may result in the compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default and shall be in addition to the late fee pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

6. CONDITIONS

Before the Bank is required to make any advance on the Revolver Commitment pursuant to 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.

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 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Arizona. To the extent that the Bank has greater rights or remedies under federal law, whether as a national bank or otherwise, this paragraph shall not be deemed to deprive the Bank of such rights and remedies as may be available under federal 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 the Term Loan or the Revolver Commitment, and may exchange information about the Borrower (including, without limitation, any information regarding any hazardous substances) with actual or potential participants or assignees. If a participation is sold or the Term Loan or Revolver Commitment is assigned, the purchaser will have the right of set-off against the Borrower.

10.4 Dispute Resolution Provision.

This paragraph, including the subparagraphs below, is referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Provision.” This Dispute Resolution Provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this agreement.

(a)

This Dispute Resolution Provision 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 Dispute Resolution 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 then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may designate another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.

(d)

The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in Phoenix, Arizona. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), 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 have judgment entered and enforced.

(e)

The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the application of any statutes of limitation, the service on AAA under applicable AAA 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), except as set forth at subparagraph (h) of this Dispute Resolution Provision. 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 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.

(h)

Any arbitration or trial by a judge of any Claim will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action (the “Class Action Waiver”). Regardless of anything else in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver may be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.

(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 waiver of jury trial shall remain in effect even if the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

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 made the Term Loan or any advances under the Revolver after a 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 Set-Off.

(a)

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Bank provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, the Bank is authorized, at any time, to set off and apply any and all Deposits of the Borrower held by the Bank against any and all Obligations owing to the Bank. The set-off may be made irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any guaranty, and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable Deposits.

(b)

The set-off may be made without prior notice to the Borrower or any other party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(c)

For the purposes of this Section 10.7, “Deposits” means any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, individual or joint) and any instruments owned by the Borrower which come into the possession or custody or under the control of the Bank. “Obligations” means all obligations, now or hereafter existing, of the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement and under any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with this Agreement.

10.8 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.

10.9 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. 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.

10.10 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 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 sent via electronic mail (e-mail) with attachments in portable document format (PDF) to the e-mail addresses listed on the signature page, or to such other addresses as the Bank and the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing.

10.11 Headings.

Article and Section headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.

10.12 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. A copy of an executed signature page that is transmitted by facsimile or sent as a PDF file via email shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be an original.

10.13 Borrower Information; Reporting to Credit Bureaus.

The Borrower authorizes the Bank at any time to verify or check any information given by the Borrower to the Bank, check the Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right at all times to disclose and report to credit reporting agencies and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to the Borrower and/or all guarantors as is consistent with the Bank’s policies and practices from time to time in effect.
