Borrower Agreement
BY SIGNING BELOW, THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:
A. | | The Borrower has received and read a copy of this Borrower Agreement, the attached Credit Line Account Application and Agreement (including the Credit Line Agreement following this Borrower Agreement) and the Loan Disclosure Statement explaining the risk factors that the Borrower should consider before obtaining a loan secured by the Borrowers securities account. The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Line Account Application and Agreement (which terms and conditions are incorporated by reference). Capitalized terms used in this Borrower Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Credit Line Agreement. |
B. | | THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT UBS BANK USA MAY DEMAND FULL OR PARTIAL PAYMENT OF THE CREDIT LINE OBLIGATIONS, AT ITS SOLE OPTION AND WITHOUT CAUSE, AT ANY TIME, AND THAT NEITHER FIXED RATE ADVANCES NOR VARIABLE RATE ADVANCES ARE EXTENDED FOR ANY SPECIFIC TERM OR DURATION. THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ALL ADVANCES ARE SUBJECT TO COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT UBS BANK USA MAY, AT ANY TIME, IN ITS DISCRETION, TERMINATE AND CANCEL THE CREDIT LINE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT AN EVENT HAS OCCURRED. |
C. | | UNLESS DISCLOSED IN WRITING TO UBS BANK USA AT THE TIME OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND APPROVED BY UBS BANK USA, THE BORROWER AGREES NOT TO USE THE PROCEEDS OF ANY ADVANCE EITHER TO PURCHASE, CARRY OR TRADE IN SECURITIES OR TO REPAY ANY DEBT (I) USED TO PURCHASE, CARRY OR TRADE IN SECURITIES OR (II) TO ANY AFFILIATE OF THE UBS BANK USA. THE BORROWER WILL BE DEEMED TO REPEAT THIS AGREEMENT EACH TIME THE BORROWER REQUESTS AN ADVANCE. |
D. | | THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THAT BORROWING USING SECURITIES AS COLLATERAL ENTAILS RISKS. SHOULD THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES IN THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT DECLINE BELOW THE REQUIRED COL LATERAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, UBS BANK USA MAY REQUIRE THAT THE BORROWER POST ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL, REPAY PART OR ALL OF THE LOAN AND/OR SELL THE BORROWERS SECURITIES. ANY REQUIRED LIQUIDATIONS MAY INTERRUPT THE BORROWERS LONG-TERM INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES. |
E. | | Neither UBS Bank USA nor UBS Financial Services Inc. provides legal or tax advice. |
F. | | Upon execution of this Credit Line Account Application and Agreement, the Borrower will have supplied all of the information requested in the Application and the Borrower declares it as true and accurate and further agrees to promptly notify UBS Bank USA in writing of any material changes to any or all of the information contained in the Application including information relating to the Borrowers financial situation. |
G. | | Subject to any applicable financial privacy laws and regulations, data regarding the Borrower and the Borrowers securities account may be shared with UBS Bank USA affiliates. Subject to any applicable financial privacy laws and regulations, the Borrower requests that UBS Bank USA share such personal financial data with non-affiliates of UBS Bank USA as is necessary or advisable to effect, administer or enforce, or to service, process or maintain, all transactions and accounts contemplated by this Agreement. |
H. | | The Borrower authorizes UBS Bank USA and UBS Financial Services Inc. to obtain a credit report or other credit references concerning the Borrower (including making verbal or written inquiries concerning credit history) or to otherwise verify or update credit information given to UBS Bank USA at any time. The Borrower authorizes the release of this credit report or other credit information to UBS Bank USA affiliates as it deems necessary or advisable to effect, administer or enforce, or to service, process or maintain all transactions and accounts contemplated by this Agreement, and for the purpose of offering additional products, from time to time, to the Borrower. The Borrower authorizes UBS Bank USA to exchange Borrower information with any party it reasonably believes is conducting a legitimate credit inquiry in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. UBS Bank USA may also share credit or other transactional experience with the Borrowers designated UBS Financial Services Inc. Financial Advisor or other parties designated by the Borrower. |
I. | | UBS Bank USA is subject to examination by various federal, state and self-regulatory organizations and that books and records maintained by UBS Bank USA are subject to inspection and subpoena by these regulators and by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials. The Borrower acknowledges that such regulators and officials may, pursuant to treaty or other arrangements, in turn disclose such information to the officials or regulators of other countries, and that U.S. courts may be required to compel UBS Bank USA to disclose such information to the officials or regulators of other countries. The Borrower agrees that UBS Bank USA may disclose to such regulators and officials information about the Borrower and transactions in the credit line account or other accounts at UBS BANK USA without notice to the Borrower. In addition, UBS Bank USA may in the context of a private dispute be required by subpoena or other judicial process to disclose information or produce documentation related to the Borrower, the credit line account or other accounts at UBS Bank USA. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that UBS Bank USA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to respond to subpoenas and judicial process as it deems appropriate. |
J. | | To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When the Borrower opens an account with UBS Bank USA, UBS Bank USA will ask for the Borrowers name, address, and other information that will allow UBS Bank USA to identify the Borrower. UBS Bank USA may also ask to see other identifying documents. UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Bank USA are firmly committed to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those related to combating money laundering. The Borrower understands and agrees that the Borrower must take all necessary steps to comply with the anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations of the Borrowers country of origin, country of residence and the situs of the Borrowers transaction. |
K. | | UBS Bank USA and its affiliates will act as creditors and, accordingly, their interests may be inconsistent with, and potentially adverse to, the Borrowers interest. As a lender and consistent with normal lending practice, UBS Bank USA may take any steps necessary to perfect its interest in the Credit Line, issue a call for additional collateral or force the sale of the Borrowers securities if the Borrowers actions or inactions call the Borrowers creditworthiness into question. Neither UBS Bank USA nor UBS Financial Services Inc. will act as Clients investment advisor with respect to any liquidation. In fact, UBS Bank USA will act as a creditor and UBS Financial Services Inc. will act as a securities intermediary. |
L. | | The Borrower understands that, if the Collateral Account is a managed account with UBS Financial Services Inc., (i) in addition to any fees payable to UBS Financial Services Inc. in connection with the Borrowers managed account, interest will be payable to the Bank on an amount advanced to the Borrower in connection with the Credit Line Account, and (ii) the performance of the managed account might not exceed the managed account fees and the interest expense payable to the Bank in which case the Borrowers overall rate of return will be less than the costs associated with the managed account. |
M. | | UBS Bank USA may provide copies of all credit line account statements to UBS Financial Services Inc. and to any Guarantor. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that UBS Bank USA may share any and all information regarding the Borrower and the Borrowers accounts at UBS Bank USA with UBS financial Services Inc. UBS Financial Services Inc. may provide copies of all statements and confirmations concerning each Collateral Account to UBS Bank USA at such times and in such manner as UBS Bank USA may request and may share with UBS Bank USA any and all information regarding the Borrower and the Borrowers accounts with UBS Financial Services Inc. |

|

|
| (iii) | | decline to pay (bounce) the check. |

4. Interest
a) | | Each Fixed Rate Advance will bear interest at a fixed rate for the Interest Period specified in the related Advance Advice. The rate of interest payable on each Fixed Rate Advance will be determined by adding a percentage rate to LIBOR as of the date that the fixed rate is determined. |
b) | | Each Variable Rate Advance under a Premier Credit Line will bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR, adjusted daily, plus the per centage rate that (unless otherwise specified by the Bank in writing) is shown on Schedule I below for the Approved Amount of the Credit Line. For Premier Credit Lines, the rate of interest payable on Variable Rate Advances is subject to change without notice in accordance with fluctuations in LIBOR and in the Approved Amount. On each day that LIBOR changes or the Approved Amount crosses one of the thresholds that is indicated on Schedule I (or that is otherwise specified by the Bank in writing), the interest rate on all Variable Rated Advances will change accordingly. |
c) | | Each Variable Rate Advance under a Prime Credit Line will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted daily, plus the percentage rate that (unless otherwise specified by the Bank in writing) is shown on the attached Schedule II and that corresponds to the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Prime Credit Line on that day. For Prime Credit Lines, the rate of interest payable on Variable Rate Advances is subject to change without notice in accordance with fluctuations in the Prime Rate and in the aggregate amount outstanding under the Prime Credit Line. On each date that the Prime Rate changes or the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Prime Credit Line crosses one of the thresholds that is indicated on Schedule II (or that is otherwise specified by the Bank in writing), the interest rate on all Variable Rate Advances will change accordingly. |
5. Payments
a) | | Each Fixed Rate Advance will be due and payable in full ON DEMAND or, if not earlier demanded by the Bank, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Fixed Rate Advance as to which the Bank has not made a demand for payment and that is not paid in full or renewed, which renewal is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank (pursuant to procedures as may be established by the Bank) as another Fixed Rate Advance on or before the last day of its interest Period, will be automatically renewed on that date as a U.S. dollar denominated Variable Rate Advance in an amount (based, in the case of any conversion of a non-US. dollar denominated Fixed Rate Advance, upon the applicable, spot currency exchange rate as of the maturity date, as determined by the Bank) equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Fixed Rate Advance plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Fixed Rate Advance, which Variable Rate Advance will then accrue additional interest at a variable rate as provided in this Agreement. |
b) Each Variable Rate Advance will be due and payable ON DEMAND.
c) | | The Borrower promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on each Advance, any and all fees or other charges payable in connection with each Advance, on the date the principal amount becomes due (whether by reason of demand, the occurrence of a stated maturity date, by reason of acceleration or otherwise). The Borrower further promises to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal balance of each Advance from the date the Advance is made until it is paid in full. All interest will be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. Interest on each Advance will be payable in arrears as follows: |
| (i) | | for Fixed Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period (or if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the last day of each three month period following the date of the Advance) and on each date that all or any portion of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance becomes due or is paid; and |
|
| (ii) | | for Variable Rate Advances on the twenty-second day of each month other than December, and on the thirty-first day of December, and on each date that all or any portion of the principal amount of the Variable Rate Advance becomes due or is paid. |
To the extent permitted by law, interest charges on any Advance that are not paid when due will be treated as principal and will accrue interest at a variable rate from the date the payment of interest was due until it is repaid in full.
d) | | All payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable under this Agreement will be made in immediately available funds and in the same currency in which the Advance was made, which unless otherwise agreed by the Bank, will be U.S. dollars. UBS Financial Services Inc. or UBS International Inc., as applicable, may act as collecting and servicing agent for the Bank for the Advances. All payments will be made by wire transfer of funds to an account specified by the Bank or by another method agreed upon by the Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of all payments, the Bank will credit the same to the Credit Line Account. The Bank shall apply the proceeds of any payments in the following order; first to any Breakage Costs, Breakage Fee, other fees, costs of collection and expenses, second to accrued interest and third to the outstanding principal amount of the related Advance. |
e) | | All payments must be made to the Bank free and clear of any and all present and future taxes (including withholding taxes), levies, imposts, duties, deductions, fees, liabilities and similar charges other than those imposed on the overall net income of the Bank. If so requested by the Bank, the Borrower will deliver to the Bank the original or a certified copy of each receipt evidencing payment of any taxes or, if no taxes are payable in respect of any payment under this Agreement, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance and from counsel acceptable to the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion, in either case stating that the payment is exempt from or not subject to taxes. If any taxes or other charges are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, |
7
| | the amount payable will be increased to the amount which, after deduction from the increased amount of all taxes and other charges required to be withheld or deducted from the amount payable, will yield to the Bank the amount stated to be payable under this Agreement If any of the taxes or charges are paid by the Bank, the Borrower will reimburse the Bank on demand for the payments, together with ail interest and penalties that may be imposed by any governmental agency. None of the Bank, UBS Financial Services Inc., UBS-I or their respective employees has provided or will provide legal advice to the Borrower or any Loan Party regarding compliance with (for the implications of the Credit Line and the related guaranties and pledges under) the laws (including tax laws) of the jurisdiction of the Borrower or any Loan Party or any other jurisdiction. The Borrower and each Loan Party are and shall be solely responsible for, and the Bank shall have no responsibility for, the compliance by the Loan Parties with any and all reporting and other requirements arising under any applicable laws. |
|
f) | | In no event will the total interest and fees, if any, charged under this Agreement exceed the maximum interest rate or total fees permitted by law. In the event any excess interest or fees are collected, the same will be refunded or credited to the Borrower. If the amount of interest payable by the Borrower for any period is reduced pursuant to this Section 5(f), the amount of interest payable for each succeeding period will be increased to the maximum rate permitted by law until the amount of the reduction has been received by the Bank. |
6. Prepayments; Breakage Charges
a) | | The Borrower may repay any Variable Rate Advance at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. |
b) | | The Borrower may repay any Fixed Rate Advance, in whole or in part. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank, immediately upon demand, for any loss or cost (Breakage Costs) that the Bank notifies the Borrower has been incurred by the Bank as a result of (i) any payment of the principal of a Fixed Rate Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period for the Fixed Rate Advance (whether voluntarily, as a result of acceleration, demand or otherwise), or (ii) the Customers failure to take any Fixed Rate Advance on the date agreed upon, including any loss or cost (including loss of profit or margin) connected with the Banks re-employment of the amount so prepaid or of those funds acquired by the Bank to fund the Advance not taken on the agreed upon date. |
|
| | Breakage Costs will be calculated by determining the differential between the stated rate of interest for the Fixed Rate Advance and prevailing LIBOR and multiplying the differential by the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance (or the principal amount of Fixed Rate Advance not taken by the Borrower) multiplied by the actual number of days remaining in the Interest Period for the Fixed Rate Advance (based upon a 360-day year). The Borrower also agrees to promptly pay to the Bank an administrative fee (Breakage Fee) in connection with any permitted or required prepayment. The Breakage Fee will be calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount of the Fixed Rate Advance (or the principal amount of Fixed Rate Advance not taken by the Borrower) by two basis points (0 02%). Any written notice from the Bank as to the amount of the loss or cost will be conclusive absent manifest error. |
7. Joint Credit Line Account Agreement; Suspension and Cancellation
a) | | If more than one Person is signing this Agreement as the Borrower, each party (a joint Borrower) will be jointly and severally liable for the Credit Line Obligations, regardless of any change in business relations, divorce, legal separation, or other legal proceedings or in any agreement that may affect liabilities between the parties. Except as provided below for the reinstatement of a suspended or cancelled Credit Line, and unless otherwise agreed by the Bank in writing, the Bank may rely on, and each Joint Borrower will be responsible for, requests for Advances, directions, instructions and other information provided to the Bank by any joint Borrower. |
b) | | Any Joint Borrower may request the Bank to suspend or cancel the Credit Line by sending the Bank a written notice of the request addressed to the Bank at the address shown on the Borrowers periodic Credit Line Account statements. Any notice will become effective three Business Days after the date that the Bank receives it, and each joint Borrower will continue to be responsible for paying: (i) the Credit Line Obligations as of the effective date of the notice, and (ii) all Advances that any joint Borrower has requested but that have not yet become part of the Credit Line Obligations as of the effective date of the notice. No notice will release or in any other way affect the Banks interest in the Collateral. All subsequent requests to reinstate credit privileges must be signed by all Joint Borrowers comprising the Borrower, including the Joint Borrower requesting the suspension of credit privileges. Any reinstatement will be granted or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank. |
c) | | All Credit Line Obligations will become immediately due and payable in full as of the effective date of any suspension or cancellation of the Credit Line. The Borrower will be responsible for the payment of all charges incurred on the Advances after any the effective date. The Bank will not release any Loan Party from any of the obligations under this Agreement or any related agreement until the Credit Line Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated. |
8. Collateral; Grant of Security Interest; Set-off
a) | | To secure payment or performance of the Credit Line Obligations, the Borrower assigns, transfers and pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a first priority lien and security interest in the following assets and rights of the Borrower, wherever located and whether owned now or acquired or arising in the future: (i) each Collateral Account; (ii) any and all money, credit balances, certificated and uncertificated securities, security entitlements, commodity contracts, certificates of deposit, instruments, documents, partnership interests, general intangibles, financial assets and other investment property now or in the future credited to or carried, held or maintained in any Collateral Account; (iii) any and all over-the-counter options, futures, foreign exchange, swap or similar contracts between the Borrower and either UBS Financial Services Inc. or any of its affiliates; (iv) any and all accounts of the Borrower at the Bank or any of its affiliates; (v) any and all supporting obligations and other rights ancillary or attributable to, or arising in any way in connection with, any of the foregoing; and (vi) any and all interest, dividends, distributions and other proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the Collateral). |
b) | | The Borrower and, if applicable, any Pledgor on the Collateral Account will take all actions reasonably requested by the Bank to evidence, maintain and perfect the Banks first priority security interest in, and to enable the Bank to obtain control over, the Collateral and any additional collateral pledged by the Pledgors, including but not limited to making, executing, recording and delivering to the Bank financing statements and amendments thereto, control agreements, notices, assignments, listings, powers, consents and other documents regarding the Collateral and the Banks security interest in the Collateral in a form as the Bank reasonably may require. Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes and appoints each of the Bank and UBS Financial Services Inc., as collateral agent, to act as their agent and attorney-in-fact to file any documents or to execute any documents in their name, with or without designation of authority. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it will be obligated in respect of the documentation as if it had executed the documentation itself. |
8
c) | | The Borrower ,and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees to maintain in a Collateral Account, at all times, Collateral having an aggregate lending value as specified by the Bank from time to time. |
|
d) | | The Banks sole duty for the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession will be to deal with the Collateral in the same manner as the Bank deals with similar property for its own account. The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees that the Bank will have no responsibility to act on any notice of corporate actions or events provided to holders of securities or other investment property included in the Collateral. The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees to (i) notify the Bank promptly upon receipt of any communication to holders of the investment property disclosing or proposing any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, spin-off or other corporate action or event as a result of which the Borrower or Pledgor would receive securities, cash (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other assets in respect of the investment property, and (ii) immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or Pledgor of any of these assets, cause them to be credited to a Collateral Account or deliver them to or as directed by the Bank as additional Collateral. |
|
e) | | The Borrower (and, if applicable, any other Pledgor on the Collateral Account) agrees that all principal, interest, dividends, distributions, premiums or other income and other payments received by the Bank or credited to the Collateral Account in respect of any Collateral may be held by the Bank as additional Collateral or applied by the Bank to the Credit Line Obligations. The Bank may create a security interest in any of the Collateral and may, at any time and at its option, transfer any securities or other investment property constituting Collateral to a securities account maintained in its name or cause any Collateral Account to be redesignated or renamed in the name of the Bank. |
|
f) | | If a Collateral Account has margin features, the margin features will be removed by UBS Financial Services Inc. or UBS International Inc., as applicable, so long as there is no outstanding margin debit in the Collateral Account. |
|
g) | | If the Collateral Account permits cash withdrawals in the form of check writing, access card charges, bill payment and/or electronic funds transfer services (for example, Resource Management Account®, Business Services Account BSA®, certain Basic Investment Accounts and certain accounts enrolled in UBS Financial Services Inc. Investment solutions programs), the Withdrawal Limit for the Collateral Account, as described in the documentation governing the account will be reduced on an ongoing basis so that the aggregate lending value of the Collateral remaining in the Collateral Account following the withdrawal may not be less than the amount required pursuant to Section 8(c). |
|
h) | | In addition to the Banks security interest, the Bank will at all times have a right to set off any or all of the Credit Line Obligations at or after the time at which they become due, whether upon demand, at a stated maturity date, by acceleration or otherwise, against all securities, cash, deposits or other property in the possesion of or at any time in any account maintained with the Bank or any of its affiliates by or for the benefit of the Borrower, whether carried individually or jointly with others. This right is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any right the Bank may have at law or otherwise. |
|
i) | | The Bank reserves the right to disapprove any Collateral and to require the Borrower at any time to deposit into the Borrowers Collateral Account additional Collateral in the amount as the Bank requests or to substitute new or additional Collateral for any Collateral that has previously been deposited in the Collateral Account. |
9. Control
For the purpose of giving the Bank control over each Collateral Account and in order to perfect the Banks security interests in the Collateral, the Borrower and each Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account consents to compliance by UBS Financial Services Inc., UBS-I or any other securities intermediary (in any case, the Securities Intermediary) maintaining a Collateral Account with entitlement orders and instructions from the Bank (or from any assignee or successor of the Bank) regarding the Collateral Account without the further consent of the Borrower or any other Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and each Pledgor on the Collateral Account acknowledges, consents and agrees that, pursuant to a control agreement entered into between the Bank and the Securities Intermediary:
a) | | The Securities Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Bank regarding any Collateral Account without further consent from the Borrower or any Pledgor. The Securities Intermediary will treat all assets credited to a Collateral Account, including money and credit balances, as financial assets for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. |
|
b) | | In order to enable the Borrower and any Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account to trade financial assets that are from time to time credited to a Collateral Account, the Securities Intermediary may comply with entitlement orders originated by the Borrower or any Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account (or if so agreed by the Bank, by an investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any Pledgor on the applicable Collateral Account and acceptable to the Bank and the Securities Intermediary) regarding the Collateral Account, but only until the time that the Bank notifies the Securities Intermediary, that the Bank is asserting exclusive control over the Collateral Account. After the Securities Intermediary has received a notice of exclusive control and has had a reasonable opportunity to comply, it will no longer comply with entitlement orders originated by the Borrower or any Pledgor (or by any investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any Pledgor) concerning the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, and irrespective of whether it has received any notice of exclusive control, the Securities Intermediary will not comply with any entitlement order originated by the Borrower or any Pledgor (or by any investment adviser designated by the Borrower or any Pledgor) to withdraw any financial assets from a Collateral Account or to pay any money, free credit balance or other amount owing on a Collateral Account (other than cash withdrawals and payments not exceeding the Withdrawal Limit as contemplated in Section 8 (g)) without the prior consent of the Bank. |
10. Remedies

9
| (iv) | | the Borrower or any other Loan Party dies or is declared (by appropriate authority) incompetent or of unsound mind or is indicted or convicted of any crime or, if not an individual, ceases to exist; |
|
| (v) | | any voluntary or involuntary proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation or similar action is commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator or rehabilitator is appointed, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made, with respect to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its property; |
|
| (vi) | | the Borrower or any Loan Party is insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they fall due, stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part of its debts, begins negotiations or takes any proceeding or other step with a view to readjustment, rescheduling or deferral of all or any part of its indebtedness, which it would or might otherwise be unable to pay when due, or proposes or makes a general assignment or an arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; |

|
| (xii) | | the Bank otherwise deems itself or its security interest in the Collateral insecure or the Bank believes in good faith that the prospect of payment or other performance by any Loan Party is impaired. |
then, the Credit Line Obligations will become immediately due and payable (without demand) and the Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, liquidate, withdraw or sell all or any part of the Collateral and apply the same, as well as the proceeds of any liquidation or sale, to any amounts owed to the Bank, including any applicable Breakage Costs and Breakage Fee. The Bank will not be liable to any Loan Party in any way for any adverse consequences (for tax effect or otherwise) resulting from the liquidation of appreciated Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the sale may be made in the Banks sole and absolute discretion by public sale on any exchange or market where business is then usually transacted or by private sale, and the Bank may purchase at any public or private sale. Any Collateral that may decline speedily in value or that customarily is sold on a recognized exchange or market may be sold without providing any Loan Party with prior notice of the sale. Each Loan Party agrees that, for all other Collateral, two calendar days notice to the Loan Party, sent to its last address shown in the Banks account records, will be deemed reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may occur. Any amounts due and not paid on any Advance following a Event will bear interest from the day following the Event until fully paid at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Advance immediately prior to the Event plus 2.00%. In addition to the Banks rights under this Agreement, the Bank will have the right to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect.

|
c) | | All rights and remedies of the Bank under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Bank may have at law or equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of any amount due under this Agreement. |
|
d) | | Any non-exercise of rights, remedies and powers by the Bank under this Agreement and the other documents delivered in connection with this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights, remedies and powers.

You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do. If the borrower doesnt pay the debt, you will have to. Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.
You may have to pay to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount.
The creditor can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The creditor can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, etc. If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.
This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.
