Letter of Credit Request See §2.10(a).
Letter of Credit In addition to the Security Deposit and as security hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of One Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Nine Dollars ($166,229.00). Said letter of credit shall be in form and with the substance of Exhibit F attached hereto, and issued by Silicon Valley Bank or by another financial institution located in Orange County and which is acceptable to Landlord. The letter of credit shall either: (i) be issued with a fixed expiration date of December 31, 2005, or (ii) shall provide for automatic annual renewals through that date which is sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of the Term of this Lease. In the event the letter of credit is issued with an annual renewal obligation and the letter of credit is not renewed by the issuing financial institution on or before twenty (20) days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date of the letter of credit, then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of such letter of credit and to hold such amount as part of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease. Upon any default by Tenant, including specifically Tenant’s failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below and Tenant’s failure to cure the same within any applicable cure period, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon said letter of credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution. Such draw shall be in an amount necessary to cure the default in question and to compensate Landlord for all damages incurred thereby, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and if such amount cannot be readily determined by Landlord, then the full amount of the letter of credit can be drawn by Landlord pending determination of said amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the amount of any such draw shall be determined in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion as provided in the foregoing, if the amount of any such draw(s) shall ultimately exceed the amount of damages actually incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s default (as determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article XIV of this Lease), then Landlord shall promptly refund any such excess to Tenant. Any such draw shall be without waiver or any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a setoff for full or partial compensation for the default. If any portion of the letter of credit is drawn after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord restore the letter of credit. Failure to so restore said letter of credit within said five (5) days shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease. Partial drawings upon said letter of credit shall be permitted. In the event that Tenant has not been in default under the Lease (beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period) at any time during the Term hereof, and provided further that Tenant has not at any time been more than five (5) days late more than once during the applicable previous twelve (12)-month period with respect to any payments of rent due under the Lease, then upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall authorize in writing consecutive reductions to the principal amount of the letter of credit in the amount of Thirty Three Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Six Dollars ($33,246.00) each upon the expiration of the twelfth (12th), twenty-fourth (24th), thirty-sixth (36th), and forty-eighth (48th) months of the Term.
Letter of Credit Requests (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit G to the Original Credit Agreement (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).
(b) In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day)); (B) the Stated Amount thereof in the relevant currency; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (G) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require.

(c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
(d) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.
(e) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit (including any Existing Secured Letter of Credit) to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the last Business Day of each month, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit (including any Existing Secured Letter of Credit) issued by it that are outstanding at such time.
(f) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).
