THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (EX-IM LOAN FACILITY) (“EX-IM AGREEMENT”) dated as of the Closing Date, between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), California corporation, and IMPINJ, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
| 1. | ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS |
Accounting terms not defined in this EX-IM Agreement will be construed following GAAP, calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules thereto. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation” in this or any Loan Document. This EX-IM Agreement shall be construed to impart upon Bank a duty to act reasonably at all times.
| 2. | LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT |
| 2.1 | Promise to Pay. |
Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all EX-IM Advances and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the EX-IM Advances as and when due in accordance with this EX-IM Agreement.
| 2.1.1 | EX-IM Advances. |
(a) Bank will make EX-IM Advances to Borrower not exceeding (i) the lesser of (x) the EX-IM Committed Line or (y) the Foreign Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of any EX-IM Advances; provided, however, and notwithstanding any other term or provision of this EX-IM Agreement, the aggregate amount of outstanding EX-IM Advances hereunder together with the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding under the Domestic Loan Agreement shall not in any event exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) jointly. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this EX-IM Agreement.
(b) To obtain an EX-IM Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the EX-IM Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank a completed Transaction Report attached as Exhibit B and submit Export Orders in connection with such EX-IM Advance. Bank will credit EX-IM Advances to Borrower’s deposit account at Bank. Bank may make Credit Extensions under this EX-IM Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Credit Extensions are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss suffered by Bank from that reliance.
(c) The EX-IM Committed Line terminates on the EX-IM Maturity Date, when all EX-IM Advances and other amounts due under this EX-IM Agreement are immediately payable.
| 2.2 | Overadvances. |
If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of EX-IM Advances made under Section 2.1.1 exceed the lesser of either (i) the EX-IM Committed Line or (ii) the Foreign Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.
| 2.3 | Interest Rate, Payments. |
(a) Interest Rate. EX-IM Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of the Prime Rate or four percent (4.00%) which interest shall be payable monthly. During the existence of an Event of Default. Obligations accrue interest at five percent (5%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
1
(b) Payments. Interest due on the EX-IM Committed Line is payable on the first (1st) day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including the Designated Deposit Account for principal and interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrues.
| 2.4 | Fees. |
Borrower will pay:
(a) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) invoiced to Borrower (provided however that legal fees, including all EX-IM Bank Expenses shall not exceed Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($17,500) on the Closing Date), and within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, all Bank Expenses incurred through and after the date of this EX-IM Agreement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); and

| 2.6 | EX-IM Guarantee. |
To facilitate the financing of EX-IM Eligible Foreign Accounts, the EX-IM Bank has agreed to guarantee the EX-IM Advances made under this EX-IM Agreement, pursuant to a Master Guarantee Agreement, Loan Authorization Agreement and (to the extent applicable) Delegated Authority Letter Agreement (collectively, the “EX-IM Guarantee”). If, at any time after the EX-IM Guarantee has been entered into by Bank, for any reason other than due to any action or inaction of Borrower under the EX-IM Guarantee, (a) the EX-IM Guarantee shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (b) if the EX-IM Bank declares the EX-IM Guarantee void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, and any Overadvance results from either of the foregoing, Bank shall provide notice of such Overadvance to Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank. If, at any time after the EX-IM Guarantee has been entered into by Bank, for any reason other than the one described in the foregoing sentence, (x) the EX-IM Guarantee shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (y) the EX-IM Bank declares the EX-IM Guarantee void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, any such event shall constitute an Event of Default under this EX-IM Agreement. Nothing in any confidentiality agreement in this EX-IM Agreement or in any other agreement shall restrict Bank’s right to make disclosures and provide information to the EX-IM Bank in connection with the EX-IM Guarantee.
| 2.7 | EX-IM Borrower Agreement. |
Borrower shall execute and deliver a Borrower Agreement, in the form specified by the EX-IM Bank (attached hereto as Annex A), in favor of Bank and the EX-IM Bank, together with an amendment thereto approved by the EX-IM Bank to conform certain terms of such Borrower Agreement to the terms of this EX-IM Agreement (as amended, the “EX-IM Borrower Agreement”). When the EX-IM Borrower Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the EX-IM Bank and delivered to Bank, this EX-IM Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the EX-IM Borrower Agreement, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. From

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the EX-IM Borrower Agreement (if then in effect) and the other terms of this EX-IM Agreement, whichever terms are more restrictive shall apply. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the Loan Authorization Agreement which is referred to in the EX-IM Borrower Agreement. If the EX-IM Borrower Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the EX-IM Bank and delivered to Bank, Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Authorization Agreement, including, without limitation, by any additions or revisions made prior to its execution on behalf of EX-IM Bank. Upon the execution of the Loan Authorization Agreement by EX-IM Bank and Bank, it shall become an attachment to the EX-IM Borrower Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all fees and all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Bank with respect to the EX-IM Guaranty and the EX-IM Borrower Agreement, including without limitation all facility fees and usage fees, and Bank is authorized to debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Bank for such fees, costs and expenses when paid by Bank.

If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within three (3) Business Days after their due date (which three (3) Business Day cure period shall not apply to payments due on the EX-IM Maturity Date).

| 9.1 | Rights and Remedies. |
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 of the Domestic Loan Agreement occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this EX-IM Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies under this Section 9.1;
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
| 9.2 | Power of Attorney. |
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide EX-IM Advances terminates.
6
| 9.3 | Accounts Collection. |
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account, and Borrower must collect all payments received from such Persons in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
| 9.4 | Bank Expenses. |
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5 of the Domestic Loan Agreement, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
| 9.5 | Bank’s Liability for Collateral. |
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
| 9.6 | Remedies Cumulative. |
Bank’s rights and remedies under this EX-IM Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
| 9.7 | Demand Waiver. |
Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default (except as otherwise specified herein), nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
| 9.8 | EX-IM Direction. |
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, EX-IM Bank shall have right to (i) direct Bank to exercise the remedies specified in Section 9.1 and (ii) request that Bank accelerate the maturity of any other loans to Borrower.
| 9.9 | EX-IM Notification. |
Bank has the right to immediately notify EX-IM Bank in writing if it has knowledge of any of the following events: (1) any failure to pay any amount due under this EX-IM Agreement; (2) the Foreign Borrowing Base is less than the sum of the outstanding Credit Extensions; (3) any failure to pay when due any amount payable to Bank under any Loan Documents owing by Borrower to Bank; (4) the filing of an action for debtor’s relief by, against or on behalf of Borrower; (5) any threatened or pending material litigation against Borrower, or any material dispute involving Borrower.
7
If Bank sends a notice to EX-IM Bank, Bank has the right to send EX-IM Bank a written report on the status of events covered by the notice every 30 days after the date of the original notification, until Bank files a claim with EX-IM Bank or the defaults have been cured (but no EX-IM Advances may be required during the cure period unless EX-IM Bank gives its written approval). If directed by EX-IM Bank, Bank will have the right to exercise any rights it may have against the Borrower to demand the immediate repayment of all amount outstanding under the EX-IM Loan Documents.

| 11. | CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER |
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California for any action or claim arising out of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this EX-IM Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this EX-IM Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS EX-IM AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS EX-IM AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time
8
shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

I further certify that I have not and will not knowingly enter into any agreements in connection with the goods and/or services purchased with the proceeds of this loan with any individual or entity that has been debarred, suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or voluntarily excluded from participation in a Transaction. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Government-wide Non-procurement Suspension and Debarment Regulations (“Regulations”), 2 C.F.R. Part 180 (adopted by reference in 2 C.F.R. part 2700 (SBA Debarment Regulations) and 2 C.F.R. Part 3513 (Ex-Im Bank Debarment Regulations)).
