Capitalized terms defined in the table on Page 1 or 2 of this Agreement shall have the meanings given to those terms in such table, and other capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this Agreement are defined in Section 21. Any accounting term not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, and all calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP. The term “financial statements” shall include the accompanying notes and schedules.

 

1. WHAT THE PARTIES AGREE TO FINANCE

Provided that the conditions in Sections 4 and 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement are met, We will lend to You the Parts of Commitment Amount as reflected on Page 1 of this Agreement and You agree to use such proceeds to finance any of Your general corporate needs. We will lend to You advances (each an “Advance”) in minimum amounts as set forth on Page 1 of this Agreement up to a maximum of the Commitment Amount as provided on Page 1. Our obligation to fund Advances under each Part of the Commitment Amount under this Agreement will end on the last day of the Availability Period noted on Page 1 for such Part.

 

2. YOU WILL ENTER INTO MULTIPLE PROMISSORY NOTES

The Plain English Promissory Note in the form of Exhibit A (collectively, the “Promissory Note”) is the document the Parties will enter into each time an Advance is to be funded. The Promissory Note will contain the specific financial terms of the Advance (e.g. amount funded, interest rate, maturity date, advance date, payment due dates etc.) and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement are incorporated in and made a part of each Promissory Note. There may be multiple Promissory Notes associated with this Agreement.

 

3. YOUR LOAN FACILITY COMMITMENT AMOUNT MAY BE DIVIDED INTO PARTS

The Commitment Amount and/or its corresponding parts (if any) will be noted on Page 1 of this Agreement (“Parts”). For purposes of this Agreement, references to the Commitment Amount shall mean the Part or Parts which are available and in effect. Certain terms or conditions associated with the availability of such Part are listed on Page 1 of this Agreement. As to any Part that is available “Upon Request and Additional Approval”, You are required to make a request to utilize that additional Part in writing to Us (the “Commitment Increase Request Notice”), prior to Your submission of a corresponding Advance Request. After Our receipt of the Commitment Increase Request Notice, We will review the information available to Us and conduct any legal and business due diligence deemed necessary by Us in connection with Our attempt to obtain Our requisite credit approvals. Our agreement to consider providing the additional Part is not, and is not to be construed as, a commitment, offer, or agreement to provide such additional Part.

 

   

Part 2 Milestone: Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, upon written notice from You of, and a copy of, the filing or confidential submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission of an S-1 registration statement contemplating an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Your common

stock from which You reasonably expect to obtain net offering proceeds, after deduction of all fees, commissions and other costs and expenses in connection therewith, of not less than $50,000,000, Part 2 of the Commitment Amount shall be made available to you.

 

4. HOW WILL YOU REQUEST ADVANCES

In addition to the requirements of Section 5 set forth below, You agree to follow the procedures listed below to have Us extend an Advance to You:

 

   

You will submit to Us (by facsimile, mail or electronic mail) a completed Advance Request in the form attached as Exhibit B signed by Your Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer.

 

   

Such Advance Request must be submitted and received by Us no later than 5:00 p.m. PT five (5) Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Availability Period. Any Advance Request submitted after 5:00 p.m. PT shall be considered received the following Business Day.

 

   

Each Advance Request will state a requested funding date that is at least five (5) Business Days after the date such Advance Request is submitted to Us.

After We check and approve the information You provide in the Advance Request, We will prepare and provide to You a Promissory Note and an amortization schedule for Your signature. Upon receipt of the Promissory Note signed by Your authorized officer and confirmation by Us that all conditions have been met, We will then advance the requested funds to You.

All the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Agreement shall apply to all Advances whether or not each Advance is evidenced by a Promissory Note. You agree that We may rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or Advance Request given by any person We reasonably believe to be Your authorized representative without the necessity of Our conducting an independent investigation, including Your contact person listed on Page 1.

 

5. CONDITIONS FOR US TO MAKE LOANS TO YOU

Our obligation to fund any Advance that You request under this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 18 and each of the following conditions:

 

   

The representations and warranties in this Agreement and in the Warrant Agreement shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects on and as of the date(s) We fund each Advance with the same effect as though they were made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall remain true, complete and correct in all material respects as of such date; provided, however, that such materiality qualifiers shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof. Each Advance Request will constitute Your representation and warranty on the relevant Advance date as to the matters provided in Sections 11 and 12 and as to the matters set forth in the Advance Request.

 

   

You shall be in compliance with all the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Promissory Note and each other Loan Document, and at the time of and immediately after such Advance: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (b) no fact or conditions shall exist that would (or would with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both) constitute a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

   

You shall provide Us with all appropriate assignments, notices and control agreements that are necessary or desirable to perfect or maintain Our first priority Lien in all of the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, provided that no control agreements shall be required for Accounts maintained outside the United States.

RingCentral_GrowthCapitalLoan      3


6. YOU MAY PREPAY YOUR PROMISSORY NOTES

You may at any time prepay any Promissory Note in full (but not in part), without premium or penalty, by paying: (a) the remaining outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest calculated as if the date of such prepayment occurred on the next scheduled monthly payment date per the respective Promissory Note; (b) the End of Term Payment, if any, (c) all other Secured Obligations, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts as of the date of prepayment, and (d) and an additional prepayment premium as follows:

 

   

If prepaid 1-12 months following the date in which such Promissory Note was given: 2% of the outstanding balance owing under such Promissory Note; and

 

   

If prepaid after12 months, no additional prepayment premium shall be due.

 

7. THE MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST; DEFAULT RATE

Maximum Rate of Interest. It is not Our intent to receive interest at a rate greater than the maximum rate permissible by law, which We shall call the “maximum rate”. If a court determines You have actually paid Us interest based on a rate that exceeds the maximum rate, then We shall apply the excess as follows: first, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Our accrued interest and any other principal, interest, fees, costs or other amounts owed by You to Us in respect of the Secured Obligations; and third, after all amounts owed by You to Us are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to You.

Default Interest. In the event that You do not pay any interest when due, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Page 1. Upon and during an Event of Default, all principal, interest or other amounts owed by You to Us shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Page 1 plus five percent (5%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

 

8. YOU GRANT US A SECURITY INTEREST

In order to secure the Secured Obligations, You grant to Us a first priority (subject to Permitted Liens), continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of Your right, title and interest in each of the following whether now owned or hereinafter acquired and wherever located:

 

   

All Receivables;

 

   

All Equipment;

 

   

All Fixtures;

 

   

All General Intangibles;

 

   

All Intellectual Property;

 

   

All Inventory;

 

   

All Investment Property;

 

   

All Deposit Accounts;

 

   

All Cash;

 

   

All commercial tort claims, if any, as listed on the Certificate of Perfection;

 

   

All Goods and personal property, whether tangible or intangible and whether now or hereinafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to or acquired and wherever located; and

 

   

To the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, rents, profits, and products of each of the foregoing.

All the above listed items will be collectively called the “Collateral”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Our Lien on the Collateral shall be subordinated to the Senior Loan Facility as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, (a) Collateral does not include more than 65% of the present existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter and (b) Collateral excludes Intellectual Property

 

RingCentral_GrowthCapitalLoan      4


currently held or hereafter obtained, but includes Proceeds of Intellectual Property (including but not limited to all Receivables, rights to payment and General Intangibles arising from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the foregoing); provided, however, other than non-exclusive licenses or non-perpetual exclusive licenses with respect to geographic area, fields of use and customized products for specific customers that would not result in a transfer of title of the licensed property under applicable law, all given in the ordinary course of Your business, in the event You transfer, sell, assign, grant a security interest in, hypothecate, permit or suffer to exist any Lien, or otherwise transfer any interest in or encumber any portion of the Intellectual Property, either voluntarily or involuntarily, without Our prior written consent, Our security interest shall include (and shall be deemed to have a Lien in such assets included from the Closing Date) all Intellectual Property.

 

9. HOW AND WHAT WILL YOU PAY US

Payments. The first payment date for each Advance will be the first day of the month following the month in which the Advance was funded, unless that Advance is funded on the first business day of that month, in which case the first payment date shall be the Advance Date.

 

   

Each Option A Promissory Note shall be due in thirty-six (36) monthly installments consisting of three (3) months of interest only followed by thirty-three (33) equal monthly installments of principal and interest, payable on the first day of each month through the last payment date (unless that date falls on a weekend or national holiday in which event such payment shall be due on the previous business day).

 

   

Each Option B Promissory Note shall be due in twelve (12) monthly installments consisting of eleven (11) months of interest only followed by one (1) installment of principal and interest, payable on the first day of each month through the last payment date (unless in the case of any installment that date falls on a weekend or national holiday in which event such payment shall be due on the previous Business Day).

Interest. The principal balance of each Promissory Note shall accrue interest at the percentage per year as indicated on Page 1 of this Agreement, and shall be computed daily on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable, and interest shall accrue in advance from the Advance Date.

Interim Payment. In the event an Advance is made on any day other than the first business day of the month, You shall make payment to Us on the Advance Date in an amount equal to the per diem interest for the time from the Advance Date through and including the last day of the month in which the Advance is funded.

Any amounts that You repay on the Advances may not be re-borrowed.

Option B Conversion. As to any Advance made by Us under the Option B terms, You may make a written request to Us no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days prior to the maturity date of such Option B Advance (each, a “Conversion Request Notice”) to (a) extend the maturity date an additional 12 months (“Maturity Date Extension”) or (b) convert such Advance to a term loan amortized over a 24 month period with a 2% increase in each of the Interest Rate and End of Term Payment for such Advance ( a “Term Loan Conversion”). After Our receipt of the Conversion Request Notice, We will review the information available to Us and conduct any legal and business due diligence deemed necessary by Us in connection with Our attempt to obtain Our requisite credit approvals, and, if such Maturity Date Extension or Term Loan Conversion is approved, then it would only become effective if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) an amendment to this Agreement and/ the respective Promissory Note has been entered into by You and Us that sets forth the terms and provisions (including the interest rate and other pricing) for such Maturity Date Extension or Term Loan Conversion; and

(c) receipt of a conversion fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Advance that is converted (each, a “Conversion Fee”).

Our agreement to consider any Maturity Date Extension or Term Loan Conversion is not and is not to be construed as, a commitment, offer or agreement to provide such Maturity Date Extension or Term Loan Conversion.

 

RingCentral_GrowthCapitalLoan      5


Miscellaneous. Payments are due electronically by automatic debit through Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment on or before the first day of each month. You agree to fill out and execute the electronic funds transfer/automatic debit Authorization form that We provide. If We do not receive any payments from You within two (2) business days after they are due, You will pay a late charge on the overdue amount. The late charge will be equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due for each month not paid when due and until such time as payment is received. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that We will receive the entire amount of any Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement, regardless of the source of payment. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Secured Obligations, and such interest shall then accrue interest at the rate then applicable under this Agreement and the applicable Promissory Note.

 

10. INSURANCE

So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, You shall carry and maintain commercial general liability insurance, against risks customarily insured against in Your line of business. All such insurance shall be in form, with companies, and in amounts reasonably acceptable to Us. Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability. You must maintain a minimum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence. So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, You shall also carry and maintain insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks (or equivalent) of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral. You shall also carry and maintain a fidelity insurance policy in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) as a policy limit.

You shall submit to Us certificates of insurance, which reflect Your compliance with Your insurance obligations in the above paragraph and the obligations contained in this Section. Your insurance certificate shall state that We are an additional insured for commercial general liability and a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, and include third party coverage on fidelity bond. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance.

The certificates of insurance will state that the Commercial General Liability coverage evidenced is primary and non-contributory to any insurance or Our self-insurance, and will further provide that a waiver of subrogation as respects the property insurance in favor of Us has been agreed to. All certificates of insurance will provide that a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice will be endeavored to be provided to Us of cancellation. Any failure by Us to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Our rights, all of which are reserved.

So long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) the casualty giving rise to such insurance proceeds could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (z) the insurance proceeds do not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all losses under all casualty policies in any twelve-month period, then the insurance proceeds payable with respect to Your insurance policies shall be payable to You to repair or replace any property subject to the applicable claim, or used to purchase other property useful in Your business, provided such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed Collateral in which We have been granted a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) to the extent that any such destroyed, damaged or replaced property was Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at Our option (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), proceeds payable under any policy may be applied by Us to the outstanding Secured Obligations.

 

11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FROM YOU

Collateral Title. You own all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, free of all Liens whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens.

RingCentral_GrowthCapitalLoan      16


No Waiver. No action taken by Us or You will be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or Promissory Note. The waiver by Us of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or a Promissory Note will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Survival of Obligations. The indemnification, obligations, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, any Promissory Note or in any document delivered in connection with those agreements are for the benefit of the Parties and survive the execution, delivery, expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Tax Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of Section 13, You agree to pay, and to hold Us harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales, or other similar taxes (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Our net income or franchise taxes) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this agreement.

Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on You and Your permitted assigns (if any). You shall not assign Your obligations under this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or any of the other Loan Documents without Our express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. You acknowledge and understand that We may sell and assign all or part of Our interest hereunder and under the Promissory Note(s) and all other related Loan Documents to any person or entity to be known as assignee. After such assignment the term “We” “Us” and “Our” as used in the Loan Documents will mean and include such assignee, and such assignee will be vested with all Our rights, powers and remedies hereunder and shall have Our duties with respect to the interest that You have granted Us; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, We shall retain all rights, powers and remedies. No such assignment will relieve You of any of Your obligations. We agree that in the event of any transfer of the Promissory Note(s), We will denote on the Promissory Note a notation as to the portion of the principal and interest of the Promissory Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and the date of the transfer.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Mutual Waiver Of Jury Trial; Judicial Reference. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the Parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the Parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY YOU AGAINST US OR OUR ASSIGNEE OR BY US OR OUR ASSIGNEE AGAINST YOU. IN THE EVENT THAT THE FOREGOING JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT ENFORCEABLE, ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL, AT THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (“REFERENCE”). THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT. THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE LAWFUL SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY UNLESS THE REFEREE ORDERS OTHERWISE. THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECTION. THE PARTIES
