LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
January 31, 2001, by and between IMPERIAL BANK ("BANK") and EVOLVE SOFTWARE,
INC. ("BORROWER").
RECITALS
Borrower wishes to obtain credit from time to time from Bank, and Bank
desires to extend credit to Borrower. This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions on which Bank will advance credit to Borrower, and Borrower will
repay the amounts owing to Bank.
AGREEMENT
The parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without
definitions shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
1.2 ACCOUNTING TERMS. All accounting terms not specifically defined on
Exhibit A 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.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 CREDIT EXTENSIONS.
(a) Borrower promises to pay to Bank, in lawful money of the
United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions made by Bank to Borrower, together with interest on the unpaid
principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(b) REVOLVING ADVANCES.
(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (1) Borrower may request Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit (as
defined below), subject to Section 2.1(b)(ii), in an aggregate outstanding
amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line and (B) the
Borrowing Base (each a "REVOLVING ADVANCE" and collectively, the "REVOLVING
ADVANCES") and (2) amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be
repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the
Revolving Maturity Date and (b) the termination of Bank's obligation to advance
money pursuant to Section 9.1(b), at which time all Revolving Advances under
this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower may prepay
any Revolving Advances at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or
premium. Revolving Advances may be used for Revolving Advance Permitted Uses
only.
(ii) Whenever Borrower desires a Revolving Advance, Borrower
will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m.
Pacific Standard Time, on the Business Day that the Revolving Advance is to be
made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance
Form in substantially the form of Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make
Revolving Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a
Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without
instructions if in Bank's discretion such Revolving Advances are necessary to
meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled
to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes
to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify
and hold Bank harmless for any damages or losses suffered by Bank as a result of
such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Revolving Advances made under this
Section 2.1(b) to Borrower's deposit account maintained with Bank.
(iii) LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to the availability under
the Committed Revolving Line, and in reliance on the representations and
warranties of Borrower set forth herein, at any time and from time to time from
the date hereof through the Business Day immediately prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date, Bank shall issue for the account of Borrower such commercial
and/or standby letters of credit ("LETTERS OF CREDIT") as Borrower may request,
which request shall be made by delivering to Bank a duly executed letter of
credit application on Bank's standard form; provided, however, that the
outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of Credit shall not
exceed the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base less the aggregate of all Revolving
Advances outstanding and (b) $5,000,000, and shall be deemed to constitute
Revolving Advances for the purpose of calculating availability under the
Committed Revolving Line. Unless Borrower shall have deposited with Bank cash
collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all undrawn amounts under each such
Letter of Credit and Bank shall have agreed in writing, no Letter of Credit
shall have an expiration date that is later than the Revolving Maturity Date.
All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its
sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank's form
application and letter of credit agreement. Borrower will pay any standard
issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrower will be charged for issuing
and processing Letters of Credit for Borrower.
(iv) Interest shall accrue from the date of each Revolving
Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable monthly on
the first day of each month through the Revolving Maturity Date.

"EQUIPMENT ADVANCE" and collectively, the "EQUIPMENT ADVANCES"). Borrower may
request Equipment Advances under Tranche A at any time from the date hereof
through the earlier to occur of (a) the Tranche A Availability End Date and (b)
the termination of Bank's obligation to advance money pursuant to Section
9.1(b). Borrower may request Equipment Advances under Tranche B at any time from
the Tranche A Availability End Date through the earlier to occur of (a) the
Tranche B Availability End Date and (b) the termination of Bank's obligation to
advance money pursuant to Section 9.1(b). The aggregate outstanding amount of
Tranche A Equipment Advances and Tranche B Equipment Advances shall not at any
time exceed the Committed Equipment Line. Each Equipment Advance shall not
exceed 100% of the invoiced amount of equipment, furniture and software
(excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation
expense), which items Borrower shall have purchased within 90 days prior to the
date of the corresponding Equipment Advance; provided, however, that during and
until the date thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Borrower may request an
Equipment Advance against invoices for equipment and furniture dated on or after
June 1, 2000 (a "SPECIAL TRANCHE A EQUIPMENT ADVANCE"). Amounts allocated to the
purchase of software shall be limited to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Equipment
Advances may be used for Equipment Advance Permitted Uses only.
(ii) Interest shall accrue from the date of each Equipment
Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable monthly on
the first day of each month through the First Equipment Maturity Date or the
Second Equipment Maturity Date, as applicable.
A. SPECIAL TRANCHE A EQUIPMENT ADVANCES. Any

Date shall be due and payable in 30 equal monthly installments of principal and
interest, beginning on the first day of the month following the Tranche A
Availability End Date, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter
through the Second Equipment Maturity Date, at which time all amounts due in
connection with Tranche A Equipment Advances made under this Section 2.1(c)
shall be immediately due and payable.

interest, beginning on the first day of the month following the Tranche B
Availability End Date, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter
through the Second Equipment Maturity Date, at which time all amounts due in
connection with Tranche B Equipment Advances made under this Section 2.1(c)
shall be immediately due and payable.
(iii) Equipment Advances, once repaid, may not be
reborrowed. Borrower may prepay any Equipment Advances at any time, in whole or
in part, without penalty or premium.
(iv) When Borrower desires to obtain an Equipment Advance,
Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile
transmission to be received no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time one
Business Day before the day on which the Equipment Advance is to be made. Such
notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. The notice shall be
signed by a Responsible Officer or its designee and include a copy of the
invoice for any equipment, furniture and/or software to be financed, and shall
include the serial numbers of such items.
2.2 OVERADVANCES. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving
Advances (including outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit) exceeds the
lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time,
Borrower shall promptly pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS.
(a) INTEREST RATES.
(i) REVOLVING ADVANCES. Except as set forth in Section
2.3(b), the Revolving Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily
balance thereof, at a rate equal to .75% above the Prime Rate.
(ii) EQUIPMENT ADVANCES. Except as set forth in Section
2.3(b), the Equipment Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily
balance thereof, at a rate equal to 1.00% above the Prime Rate.
(b) LATE FEE; DEFAULT RATE. If any payment is not made within ten
days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee
equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the
maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations
shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, at a rate equal to the lesser of (y) five percentage points
above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the
Event of Default or (z) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under
applicable law.
(c) PAYMENTS. Bank shall, at its option, charge any interest due
hereunder, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of
Borrower's deposit accounts or against the Committed Revolving Line, in which
case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable
hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part
of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the
rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) COMPUTATION. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time
to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased
or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount
equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed.
2.4 CREDITING PAYMENTS. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of
payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce the Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire
transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific Standard Time
shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the
Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a
date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next
Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue
and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5 FEES. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) FACILITY FEE. On the Closing Date, a facility fee equal to
$45,000 ($18,750 with respect to the Revolving Facility and $26,250 with respect
to the Equipment Facility), which fee shall be nonrefundable;
(b) BANK EXPENSES. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses
incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.6 TERM. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date
and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for a term
ending on the Second Equipment Maturity Date.
3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS.
3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION. The obligation
of Bank to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition
precedent that Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank, the following:

occurred and be continuing, or would exist after giving effect to such Credit
Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties
expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all
material respects as of such date). The making of each Credit Extension shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such
Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a
continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or
arising Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to
secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under
the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest
constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently-existing
Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in
later-acquired Collateral. Notwithstanding any termination, Bank's Lien on the
Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are
outstanding.
4.2 DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. Borrower shall from
time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the reasonable request of Bank, all
Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank
may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue
perfected Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
4.3 RIGHT TO INSPECT. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or
agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time
during Borrower's usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower's Books
and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in
order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
4.4 REVISED ARTICLE 9. Borrower and Bank acknowledge that revised
Article 9 of the UCC, in the form or substantially in the form approved in 1998
by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Law ("REVISED ARTICLE 9"), has been adopted in the State of
California and elsewhere, and hereby agree to the following provisions in
anticipation of the possible application thereof, in one or more jurisdictions,
to the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon such application of Revised
Article 9 to the transactions contemplated hereby, all references in this
Agreement to sections of the UCC shall be deemed to refer to the equivalent
corresponding sections of Revised Article 9.
(a) ATTACHMENT. In applying the law of any jurisdiction in which
Revised Article 9 is in effect, the Collateral is all assets of the Borrower,
whether or not within the scope of Revised Article 9. The Collateral shall
include, without limitation, the following categories of assets as defined in
Revised Article 9: goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions
thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts
(including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible
or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the
letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities
and all other investment property, general intangibles (including payment on
intangibles and software), supporting obligations and any and all proceeds of
any thereof, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. If
Borrower shall at any time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any
particular jurisdiction, acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in Revised
Article 9, such Borrower shall immediately notify Bank in a writing signed by
Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank.
(b) PERFECTION BY FILING. Bank may at any time and from time to
time file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto
that describe the Collateral as all assets of the Borrower or words of similar
effect and which contain any other information required by Part 5 of Revised
Article 9 for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing
statement, continuation statement or amendment, including whether Borrower is an
organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to such Borrower. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information
to Bank promptly upon request. Any such financing statements, continuation
statements or amendments may be signed by Bank on behalf of Borrower and may be
filed at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 is then
in effect in that jurisdiction.
(c) OTHER PERFECTION, ETC. Borrower shall at any time and from
time to time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any particular
jurisdiction, take such steps as Bank may reasonably request for Bank (a) to
obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of any
bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, that the bailee holds such
Collateral for Bank, (b) to obtain "control" of any investment property, deposit
accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chatter paper (as such terms are
defined in Revised Article 9 with corresponding provisions in Sections 9-104,
9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of Revised Article 9 relating to what constitutes
"control" for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing
control to be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, and (c) otherwise to
insure the continued perfection and priority of the Bank's security interest in
any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein, whether in
anticipation, and following the effectiveness, of Revised Article 9 in any
jurisdiction.
(d) SAVINGS CLAUSE. Nothing contained in this SECTION 4.4 shall
be construed to narrow the scope of Bank's security interest in any of the
Collateral, or the perfection or priority thereof, or to impair or otherwise
limit any of the rights, powers, privileges or remedies of Bank hereunder,
except as mandated by Revised Article 9, but only to the extent so mandated.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. Borrower and each Subsidiary
is a corporation duly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and
qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except
where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.
5.2 DUE AUTHORIZATION; NO CONFLICT. The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been duly
authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor
will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which
Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement by which it is
bound, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 COLLATERAL. Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free and
clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide
existing obligations. The property giving rise to such Eligible Accounts has
been delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. Borrower has not received notice
of an actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose
accounts are included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account.
All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free
from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have
been made.
5.4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. Borrower is the sole owner of
the Intellectual Property Collateral, except for Licenses granted by Borrower to
its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of the Copyrights,
Trademarks and Patents is, to Borrower's knowledge, valid and enforceable, and
no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of
the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party
except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower's rights
as a licensee and reseller of intellectual property do not give rise to more
than 5% of its gross revenue in any given month, including, without limitation,
revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any
product or service.
5.5 NAME; LOCATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND COLLATERAL. Except as
disclosed in the Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other
than that specified on the signature page hereof. The chief executive office of
Borrower is located at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof. The
Collateral is presently located at the addresses set forth on the Schedule.
5.6 LITIGATION. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no
actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before
any court or administrative agency in which a likely adverse decision could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse
effect on Borrower's interest or Bank's security interest in the Collateral.
5.7 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All
consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that
are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower's consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There
has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank.
5.8 SOLVENCY, PAYMENT OF DEBTS. Borrower is able to pay its debts
(including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrower's
Assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of
its liabilities less its deferred maintenance and royalties and other revenue
derived from Licenses; and Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital
after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Borrower and each Subsidiary
have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee
benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower's
failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's
incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is
not an "INVESTMENT COMPANY" or a company "CONTROLLED" by an "INVESTMENT COMPANY"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not
engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System). Borrower has complied in all material respects with all the
provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower is in compliance
with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure
to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower
has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it,
violation of which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each
Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be
filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all
taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate
reserves under GAAP.
5.10 SUBSIDIARIES. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted
Investments.
5.11 GOVERNMENT CONSENTS. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained
all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary
for the continued operation of Borrower's business as currently conducted,
except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect.
5.12 INBOUND LICENSES. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower
is not a party to, nor is bound by, any License or other agreement that
prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in
Borrower's interest in such License or agreement or any other property.
5.13 FULL DISCLOSURE. No representation, warranty or other statement
made by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken
together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or
statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and
forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable
assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from
the projected or forecasted results.
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
Borrower covenants that, until payment in full of all outstanding
Obligations, and for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make a Credit
Extension hereunder, Borrower shall do all of the following:
6.1 GOOD STANDING AND GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE. Borrower shall maintain
its and each of its Subsidiaries' corporate existence in its jurisdiction of
incorporation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall meet,
and shall cause each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of
ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower
shall comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all statutes,
laws, ordinances and government rules and regulations to which it is subject,
and shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in
force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which or failure to
comply with which could have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse
effect on the Collateral or the priority of Bank's Lien on the Collateral.
6.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS, CERTIFICATES. Borrower shall
deliver to Bank: (a) as soon as available, but in any event within 20 Business
Days after the end of each calendar month, a company-prepared consolidated
balance sheet and income statement covering Borrower's consolidated operations
during such period, in a form acceptable to Bank and certified by a Responsible
Officer; (b) as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days after the end
of Borrower's fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower

financial statements of an independent certified public accounting firm

contrary herein, if there is no continuing Event of Default at the time Bank
verifies Accounts, Bank shall not identify itself as Bank to the Account
debtors.

and timely payment or deposit of all material federal, state, and local taxes,
assessments, or contributions required of it by law, including, but not limited
to, those laws concerning income taxes, F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A. and state disability,
and will execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, proof satisfactory to Bank
indicating that Borrower or a Subsidiary has made such payments or deposits and
any appropriate certificates attesting to the payment or deposit thereof;
provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary need not make any payment if the amount
or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by
Borrower.
6.5 INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured
against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other
hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other
owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where Borrower's
business is conducted on the date hereof. Borrower shall also maintain liability
and other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses
similar to Borrower's.
(b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with
such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All
policies of property insurance shall contain a lender's loss payable
endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss
payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional
insured and specify that the insurer must give at least 20 days notice to Bank
before canceling its policy for any reason. Upon Bank's request, Borrower shall
deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of
all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrower's option, be
payable to Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that
any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been
granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at Bank's
option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations.
6.6 PRIMARY DEPOSITORY. Borrower shall maintain its primary depositary
account and banking relationship with Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)
Borrower may maintain investment accounts with institutions other than Bank (so
long as Borrower shall deliver a control agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to Bank, executed by such other institutions within 30 days after
Bank's request therefor) and (ii) Borrower's Subsidiaries may maintain
depository and operating accounts with institutions other than Bank.
6.7 FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Borrower shall maintain, as of the last day
of each calendar month:
(a) QUICK RATIO. A ratio of (i) Quick Assets to (ii) Current
Liabilities less deferred maintenance and royalties and other revenue derived
from Licenses, of at least 1.75 to 1.00.
(b) LIQUIDITY RATIO. A ratio of the sum of (i) unrestricted cash
plus (ii) the amount available under the Committed Revolving Line, to the sum of
(x) Borrower's total Indebtedness to Bank plus (y) all other secured
Indebtedness of Borrower, of at least 1.75 to 1.00.
(c) MINIMUM REVENUE. Gross revenue in an amount greater than or
equal to 80% of Borrower's projected gross revenue pursuant to its revenue plan
attached hereto as Exhibit F.
6.8 REGISTRATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
(a) Borrower shall register or cause to be registered on an
expedited basis (to the extent not already registered) with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as
applicable: (i) those intellectual property rights listed on Exhibits A, B and C
to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement delivered to Bank by Borrower in
connection with this Agreement, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement,
(ii) all material registrable intellectual property rights Borrower has
developed as of the date of this Agreement but heretofore failed to register,
within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) those additional
material intellectual property rights developed or acquired by Borrower from
time to time in connection with any product, prior to the sale or licensing of
such product to any third party, and prior to Borrower's use of such product
(including without limitation major revisions or additions which significantly
improve the functionality of the intellectual property rights listed on such
Exhibits A, B and C). Borrower shall give Bank notice of all such applications
or registrations.
(b) Borrower shall execute and deliver such additional
instruments and documents from time to time as Bank shall reasonably request to
perfect Bank's security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) Borrower shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity
and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights, (ii) use its best
efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and
promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not
allow any Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights material to Borrower's ongoing
operations to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the
written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Bank may audit Borrower's Intellectual Property Collateral to
confirm compliance with this Section 6.8, provided such audit may not occur more
often than twice per twelve-month period, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to take, at Borrower's sole expense, any actions that Borrower is required under
this Section 6.8 to take but which Borrower fails to take, after 15 days'
written notice to Borrower. Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify Bank for all
reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of
its rights under this Section 6.8.
6.9 CONSENT OF INBOUND LICENSORS. Prior to entering into or becoming
bound by any License or agreement that is reasonably likely to have a material
impact on Borrower's business or financial condition, Borrower shall: (i)
provide written notice to Bank of the material terms of such License or
agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower's business or
financial condition; and (ii) take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the
consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for
Borrower's interest in such Licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral
and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be
restricted by the terms of the applicable License or agreement, whether now
existing or entered into in the future.
6.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time and from time to time Borrower
shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action
as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.
Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any credit hereunder

for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make any Credit Extensions,
Borrower will not do any of the following without Bank's prior written consent:
7.1 DISPOSITIONS. Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose
of (collectively, to "TRANSFER"), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer,
all or any part of its business or property, other than Permitted Transfers.
7.2 CHANGE IN BUSINESS; CHANGE IN CONTROL OR EXECUTIVE OFFICE. Engage
in any business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any business,
other than or reasonably related or incidental to the businesses currently
engaged in by Borrower. Borrower will not have a Change in Control and will not,
without 30 days prior written notification to Bank, relocate its chief executive
office.
7.3 MERGERS OR ACQUISITIONS. Other than in the normal and ordinary
course of Borrower's business, merge or consolidate, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other Person (other than
mergers or consolidations of a Subsidiary into another Subsidiary or into
Borrower), or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or
substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person except
where, upon the prior written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld (i) the Borrower or Subsidiary, as applicable, is the
surviving entity after such merger or acquisition and (ii) no Event of Default
has occurred, is continuing or would exist after giving effect to the
transactions.
7.4 INDEBTEDNESS. Create, incur, assume or be or remain liable with
respect to any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, other than
Permitted Indebtedness.
7.5 ENCUMBRANCES. Create, incur, assume or allow any Lien with respect
to any of its property, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive
income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so
to do, except for Permitted Liens, or covenant to any other Person that Borrower
in the future will refrain from creating, incurring, assuming or allowing any
Lien with respect to any of Borrower's property.
7.6 DISTRIBUTIONS. Pay any dividends or make any other distribution or
payment on account of or in redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital
stock, except that Borrower may repurchase the stock of former employees,
consultants and independent contractors pursuant to stock repurchase agreements
as long as (a) the market value of such stock is greater than the repurchase
price, and (b) an Event of Default does not exist prior to such repurchase or
would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase.
7.7 INVESTMENTS. Other than in the normal and ordinary course of
Borrower's business, directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any
Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do,
other than Permitted Investments.
7.8 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Directly or indirectly enter into or
permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except
(a) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, upon
fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be
obtained in an arm's length transaction with a non-affiliated Person, and (b) as
set forth in paragraph (e) of the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness."
7.9 SUBORDINATED DEBT. Make any payment in respect of any Subordinated
Debt, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any such payment, except in
compliance with the terms of such Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision
contained in any documentation relating to the Subordinated Debt without Bank's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.10 INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT. Store the Inventory or the Equipment
with a bailee, warehouseman, or similar party unless Bank has received a pledge
of the warehouse receipt covering such Inventory. Except for Inventory sold in
the ordinary course of business and except for such other locations as Bank may
approve in writing, Borrower shall keep the Inventory and Equipment only at the
locations set forth on the Schedule and such other locations of which Borrower
gives Bank prior written notice and as to which Borrower signs and files a
financing statement where needed to perfect Bank's security interest.
7.11 COMPLIANCE. Become or be controlled by an "INVESTMENT COMPANY,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or become principally
engaged in, or undertake as one of its important activities, the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or use
the proceeds of any Credit Extension for such purpose. Fail to meet the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited
Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur, fail to comply with the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act or violate any law or regulation, which violation could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse
effect on the Collateral or the priority of Bank's Lien on the Collateral, or
permit any of its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of
Default by Borrower under this Agreement:
8.1 PAYMENT DEFAULT. If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations
and such failure continues for 3 Business Days or more after the due date,
provided that within such 3 Business Day cure period, the failure to pay shall
not be deemed an Event of Default, but no Credit Extensions will be made;
8.2 COVENANT DEFAULT. If Borrower fails to perform any obligation
under Article 6 or violates any of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this
Agreement, or fails or neglects to perform or observe any other material term,
provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan
Documents, or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank
and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition or covenant
that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within ten days after
Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware
thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured
within the ten day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured
within such ten day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a
reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which
shall not in any case exceed 30 days) to attempt to cure such default, and
within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall
not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be made;
8.3 MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. If there occurs a material adverse change
in Borrower's business or financial condition taken as a whole, or if there is a
material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the
Obligations or a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank's security
interests in the Collateral;
8.4 ATTACHMENT. If any material portion of Borrower's assets is
attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or
comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar
capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not
been removed, discharged or rescinded within ten days, or if Borrower is
enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to
conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of
Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of
record with respect to any of Borrower's assets by the United States Government,
or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county,
municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten days
after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing
shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an
adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided
that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);
8.5 INSOLVENCY. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency
Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced
against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within 30 days (provided that no
Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency
Proceeding);
8.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS. If there is a default in any agreement to which
Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such
third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of
any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $250,000 or that could have a
Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this
Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under another agreement
described in this Section shall be cured for purposes of this Agreement upon the
receipt of proof by Bank of the cure or waiver of the default under such other
agreement;
8.7 SUBORDINATED DEBT. If Borrower makes any payment on account of
Subordinated Debt, except to the extent the payment is allowed under any
subordination agreement entered into with Bank;
8.8 JUDGMENTS. If a judgment or judgments for the payment of money in
an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least $250,000 shall be
rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied and unstayed for a period
of 10 Business Days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to
the satisfaction or stay of the judgment); or
8.9 MISREPRESENTATIONS. If any material misrepresentation or material
misstatement exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth
herein or in any certificate delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer
pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.
9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of
its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of
which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement,
by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable
(provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section
8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action
by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;
(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount
equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral
security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit,
and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in
advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the
remaining term of the Letters of Credit;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account
debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably
considers advisable;
(e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers
necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral.
Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the
Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to
enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain
possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank's determination
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses
incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower's owned
premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such
premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of
Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances
and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to
or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's
benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or
both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in
such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank
determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations
in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Effective only upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true
and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify
account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may
come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or xxxx of
lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and
assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account
debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims
under and decisions with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; (f) settle
and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g)
to modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement
entered into between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower's
approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C,
thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in
any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution
hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any
Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims to
have any right, title or interest; (h) to file, in its sole discretion, one or
more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to
any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law;
and (i) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank
or a third party to the extent permitted under the UCC; provided Bank may
exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and
every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until the earlier of the cure or waiver of the Event of Default or
such time as all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and
Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. At any time during the term of this
Agreement, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank's security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall
collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as
Bank's trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original
form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any
required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under
the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after
reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
(b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to
protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and
maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this
Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems
prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank
Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the
then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the
Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank
to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default under this Agreement.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the UCC, Bank shall not in any
way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or
fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act
or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other
person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrower, except where such loss, damage or destruction
results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank or Bank's
failure to comply with Section 9-207 of the UCC.
9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank
shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank
and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND; PROTEST. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
10. NOTICES.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by
any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in
connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and
other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage
prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight

the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa
Xxxxx, State of California. BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN,
INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER
COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE
FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER
WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY
TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder
may be assigned by Borrower without Bank's prior written consent, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Bank's sole discretion. Bank shall have the right
without the consent of or notice to Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or
grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank's
obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.
12.2 INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other
party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank
as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to
transactions between Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or
otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses),
except for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Bank
may not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any claim
covered by the indemnity set forth in this Section 12.2 without giving notice
thereof to Borrower. If Bank or any other indemnified party obtains recovery of
any of the amounts that Borrower has paid to them pursuant to the indemnity set
forth in this Section, then Bank or such other indemnified party, as applicable,
shall promptly pay to Borrower such amounts paid by Borrower.
12.3 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for the performance of
all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
12.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement
shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose
of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.5 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING, INTEGRATION. All amendments to or
terminations of this Agreement must be in writing. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are

counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which,
when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
12.7 SURVIVAL. All covenants, representations and warranties made in
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank
with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described
in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations
periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. In handling any confidential information Bank
and all employees and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that
Bank exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types
to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received
or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such
information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in
connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower,
(ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans,
provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in
favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by
law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order,
provided that Bank shall, if permitted by applicable law, use its best efforts
to notify Borrower in advance of any such disclosure; (iv) as may be required in
connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v)
as Bank may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies
hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that
either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank
when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to
Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party,
provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited
from disclosing such information.

LITIGATION (Section 5.6)
1. In January 2000, PeopleSoft, Inc. filed an action in the California
Superior Court, Alameda County, alleging claims arising out of Borrower's
employment of former employees of PeopleSoft, and seeking preliminary and
permanent injunctions to preclude additional hiring of PeopleSoft employees.
PeopleSoft's claims include inducing breach of contract and unfair competition.
PeopleSoft filed a motion for preliminary injunction enjoining the Borrower from
recruiting additional PeopleSoft employees or disclosing any PeopleSoft trade
secrets. The court denied the motion in July 2000 due to PeopleSoft's failure
to show that it was likely to succeed in the litigation on the merits or show
that it would be harmed if the injunction did not issue. PeopleSoft has
appealed the court's ruling on the motion. Borrower does not believe that the
motion, even if granted on appeal, will have a material impact on its business.
The parties conducted a mediation in September 2000 but were unable to reach an
agreeable settlement. Borrower is now in settlement discussions with PeopleSoft,
and the current proposal contains a cash settlement amount of between $50,000
(Borrower's offer) and $75,000 (PeopleSoft's offer), along with a number of
non-monetary demands (non-recruitment, non-solicitation, etc.).
2. In September 2000, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, the former Vice President of Sales
for Borrower, filed a wrongful termination suit against Borrower in California
Superior Court, Alameda County, claiming unspecified monetary damages. The
parties are meeting in a mediation in early February 2001 to settle the claim.
