  2. Information About Your Loan.

    a. Extension of Credit. Bank is extending to You the Loan Amount and, in exchange, You agree as follows:

    i. Business Purpose. You acknowledge and agree that funds received under this Agreement are for business purposes only and will not be used for personal, family or household purposes. You understand that You are not receiving a consumer loan, and that statutory and regulatory protections for consumers will not apply to Your loan. You also understand that Bank may not confirm whether the use of any funds provided conforms to this section. You agree that a breach of this section will not affect Bank’s right to (a) enforce Your promise to pay all amounts owed under this Agreement, regardless of the purpose for which the funds are in fact obtained, or (b) use any remedy legally available to Bank, even if that remedy would not have been available had the funds been provided for consumer purposes.

    ii. Obligation to Repay. You agree (a) to repay the Minimum Payment Amount on each Minimum Payment Due date and (b) to repay the Loan Balance in full by the Loan Maturity Date. While You have an outstanding Loan Balance, You direct Bank to direct Square Capital to direct Square, Inc. to withhold the Repayment Rate from Your Receivables during each day You process payments pursuant to the Seller Agreement and Square, Inc. agrees to remit such funds to Square Capital. Your repayments begin on the Repayment Start Date.

    iii. Application of Repayments. Your repayments will generally be applied first to the past due Loan Balance (if any), then to reduce the amount of the remaining Loan Balance until the Loan Balance is paid in full.

    iv. Minimum Payment Obligation. If at any time, You do not pay the Minimum Payment Amount by the applicable Minimum Payment Due date, the Bank through Square Capital reserves the right to debit Your Linked Bank Account or increase Your Repayment Rate.

    v. Satisfaction of Prior Loan Balance. In order to receive funds under this Agreement, Bank will first apply the Loan Amount to repay any Prior Loan Balance outstanding as of the Origination Date. The remaining Loan Amount will be deposited to Your Linked Bank Account in accordance with your ACH authorization (as described below).

    vi. Early Repayment. You may repay Your outstanding Loan Balance in full or in part at any time without penalty by making additional payments in Your Square Dashboard, or contacting the Square Capital Support Center to arrange for repayment. Such early repayment will be deducted from Your Square Account balance first, and any remaining amount will be debited from Your Linked Bank Account.

    You may also repay Your outstanding Loan Balance in full or in part at any time without penalty by sending a check (with Your email address associated with Your Square Account in the “Memo” field) to:

    Square Capital Program Attn: Capital Servicing 29053 Network Place Chicago, IL 60673-1290

    vii. ACH Authorization. You authorize Bank to credit Your Linked Bank Account with Your Loan Amount (less any Prior Loan Balance) or where otherwise required for servicing. If You decide to prepay Your Loan Balance, or need to make payment to satisfy Your Minimum Payment Amount or other amounts due under this Agreement, You authorize Square Capital, as the Bank’s agent to debit any Linked Bank Account. If any debit attempt to Your Linked Bank Account fails, You grant Square Capital at each instance a new, original authorization to make new debit attempts in an amount less than the amount then currently due or an amount reduced from the previous debit from Your Linked Bank Account.You acknowledge and agree to be bound by NACHA’s rules for business-related ACH debits and credits.

    viii. Cancellation Period. You may cancel this Agreement any time prior to the Repayment Start Date. If You cancel, Bank will debit the Loan Amount from Your Linked Bank Account. Your loan will not be deemed cancelled if the debit to Your Linked Bank Account is unsuccessful. If You owe a Prior Loan Balance and You cancel this Agreement, You agree that any Prior Loan Balance remains due and payable, and Your prior loan agreement for the Prior Loan Balance will be reinstated immediately.

    ix. Security Interest.

    1. For all Loan Amounts in excess of $75,000 as of the Loan Acceptance Date, Merchant agrees that as security for (i) Merchant’s obligation to pay the Loan Balance and (ii) Merchant’s obligation to pay all other obligations and liabilities owed to Bank by Merchant from time to time under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), Merchant grants, assigns and pledges to Square Capital, as collateral agent on behalf of Bank a continuing and unconditional lien on and security interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (collectively, the “Account Collateral”): (a) Merchant’s Square Account, the Receivables, all balances in such Square Accounts; (b) all general intangibles (as that term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Utah), all payment intangibles, all rights to payment, and all other rights (whether arising under common law, statutes, regulations, or otherwise), of the Merchant; (c) all money, cash equivalents, and other assets of the Merchant; and (d) all of the proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC) and products, whether tangible or intangible, of any of the foregoing. In furtherance of the intentions of the Parties hereto, this Agreement will constitute written notice to all interested parties of Square Capital’s (as collateral agent on behalf of Bank) security interest in the Account Collateral. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding, the Merchant’s Square Account will be under the sole dominion and control of Square Capital. Neither Merchant nor any other person or entity, acting by, through or under the Merchant, will have any control over the use of, or any right to withdraw any amount from such Square Accounts without the consent of Square Capital, provided that Square Capital will be deemed to have granted such consent until such time as the occurrence of a default under this Agreement. In addition, Square Capital will have the exclusive rights (i) to require that any bank or securities intermediary at which any Account Collateral may be located acknowledge Bank’s security interest in and control of the Account Collateral for purposes of perfecting Square Capital’s security interest in the Account Collateral, and (ii) to direct and provide instructions to such bank or securities intermediary as to the disposition of the Account Collateral to fulfill Merchant’s Secured Obligations. The security interest created by this Agreement secures the payment and performance of all of the present and future Secured Obligations of the Merchant under this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and any interest, fees, or expenses that accrue after the filing of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in such bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding) so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding.
  3. Termination and Default.

    a. Termination of Agreement. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the entire Loan Balance has been repaid in full.

    b. Events of Default. You will be in default of this Agreement if You:

    i. Misrepresent a fact in Your loan application;

    ii. Fail to comply with terms of the Agreement, including specifically but without limitation, Your representations, warranties, and covenants at paragraph 6 below, as well as all other representations, warranties, and covenants in this Agreement;

    iii. Divert Your payment card processing from Your Square Account in violation of this Agreement;

    iv. File or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or

    v. Do not repay Your Loan Balance or any Minimum Payment Amounts when due.

    c. Rights upon Default. If You default, Square Capital may, upon written notice to You, (i) demand immediate repayment of the Loan Balance, which will be paid by You within five (5) business days of receipt of such demand, unless a longer period is specified; (ii) debit any past due amounts from Your Linked Bank Account; and/or (iii) temporarily or permanently increase Your Repayment Rate. Bank may enforce the repayment of Your Loan Balance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and in the instance of nonpayment of Your Loan Balance will enforce those rights solely against Merchant’s business assets, including but not limited to the property and interests described in Section 2(a)(ix) above. This does not limit Your repayment obligations in this Agreement and Bank’s enforcement rights.

    d. Indemnification. Merchant will indemnify and hold harmless Bank and Square Capital (and their respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates and representatives) from and against any cost, loss or liability including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses resulting from Your misrepresentation or breach of warranty, default or breach of any covenant in this Agreement.

    e. Costs to Enforce Payable by Merchant. Merchant will pay all reasonable costs associated with a breach by Merchant of any of its obligations, covenants or any of the representations and warranties of Merchant under this Agreement and the enforcement thereof. These “reasonable costs” include the costs, including attorneys’ fees, associated with defending, protecting, or enforcing the rights under this Agreement including in any bankruptcy proceeding.

  4. Relationship of the Parties

    a. Unaffiliated Parties. Square Capital and Bank are not affiliated.

    b. Obligation to Provide Transactional Information. Merchant agrees to provide to Bank and Square Capital, upon request, transaction files maintained by Merchant, and any other information related to past payment processing volumes or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    c. Further Inquiries. If Bank or Square Capital requires additional information You will respond to those requests in the time frame requested.

    d. Your Square Account.

    i. Maintain Your Square Account in Good Standing. While You have an outstanding Loan Balance, Merchant will comply with the Seller Agreement and maintain Merchant’s Square Account in good standing.

    ii. Effect of Multiple Square Accounts. Any attempt to receive Your payment card processing proceeds through multiple Square Accounts (irrespective of whether such Square Accounts are associated with the Location ID set forth in the summary box above) will entitle Square Capital to consider any such Square Accounts as part of Your Square Account for purposes of this Agreement. Square Capital may, at its option, (i) provide You with notice that such additional Square Accounts are now considered part of Your Square Account under this Agreement and apply the Repayment Rate to such consolidated Square Account or (ii) exercise its other remedies under this Agreement.

    iii. Effect of Square Ceasing to Withhold Loan Payments. Under contractual obligations that Square Capital has and may have with various third parties, Square Capital may be prevented from withholding the Repayment Rate from Your Receivables as described in Section 2(a)(ii) while You have an outstanding Loan Balance under this Loan Agreement. Such an event may result in the assignment or transfer of the servicing of this Agreement and Square Capital’s rights and remedies under this Agreement without prior notice to You. If servicing is transferred, You agree (i) to make equal weekly payments via debit to a bank account or other means (which amount equals the remaining Loan Balance divided by the number of weeks through the Loan Maturity Date) to the designated service provider if loan repayments are no longer withheld, (ii) to comply with alternative payment timing, instructions and methods as provided by the new service provider and to execute any necessary authorization in order for such payments to be made, and (iii) that any new service provider is authorized to make any such debit to Your bank account. If alternative payment timing, instructions and methods are required, You will be provided with reasonable notification of those requirements, including a statement reflecting Your outstanding Loan Balance and weekly payment amount, to be delivered within a reasonable time.
