1.
REVOLVING CREDIT LINE.
1.1
Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the date on which this Agreement becomes effective until the Maturity Date, Lender will make advances (“Revolving Advances”) to Borrowers not exceeding the Credit Limit or the Borrowing Base, whichever is less; provided that in no event shall Lender be obligated to make any Revolving Advance that results in an Overadvance or while any Overadvance is outstanding. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, reborrowed during the term of this Agreement. It shall be a condition to each Revolving Advance that (a) an Advance Request acceptable to Lender has been received by Lender, (b) all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 are true and correct on the date of such Revolving Advance as though made at and as of each such date, and (c) no Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Revolving Advance.
1.2
Revolving Advance Requests. Borrowers may request that Lender make a Revolving Advance by delivering to Lender an Advance Request therefor and Lender shall be entitled to rely on all the information provided by Borrowers to Lender on or with the Advance Request. Lender may honor Advance Requests, instructions or repayments given by any Authorized Person. So long as all of the conditions for a Revolving Advance set forth herein have been satisfied, Lender shall fund such Revolving Advance within one business day of Lender’s receipt of the applicable Advance Request.
1.3
Due Diligence. Lender may audit each Borrower’s Receivables and any and all records pertaining to the Collateral, at Lender’s reasonable (from the perspective of a secured commercial lender) discretion and at Borrowers’ expense, at any time and from time to time upon advance notice to Borrowers (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice shall be required), but in no event less frequently than semi-annually. Lender may at any time and from time to time contact Account Debtors and other persons obligated or knowledgeable in respect of Receivables to confirm the Receivable Amount of such Receivables, to determine whether Receivables constitute Eligible Receivables, and for any other purpose in connection with this Agreement. If any of the Collateral or Borrowers’ books or records pertaining to the Collateral are in the possession of a third party, each Borrower authorizes that third party to permit Lender or its agents to have access to perform inspections or audits thereof and to respond to Lender’s requests for information concerning such Collateral and records.
1.4
Collections. Lender shall have the exclusive right to receive all Collections on all Receivables. Each Borrower shall (i) immediately notify, transfer and deliver to Lender all Collections such Borrower receives, (ii) deliver to Lender a detailed cash receipts journal on Friday of each week until the lockbox is operational, and (iii) immediately enter into a collection services agreement acceptable to Lender (the “Lockbox Agreement”). Each Borrower shall use the lockbox address as the remit to and payment address for all of such Borrower’s Collections and it will be considered an immediate Event of Default if this does not occur or the lockbox is not operational within 60 days of the date of this Agreement. Lender shall credit Collections with respect to Receivables received by Lender to Borrowers’ Account Balance within three business days of the date received; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Lender may apply all Collections to the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine. Lender has no duty to do any act other than to apply such amounts as required above. If an item of Collection is not honored or Lender does not receive good funds for any reason, the amount shall be included in the Account Balance as if the Collections had not been received and Finance Charges shall continue to accrue thereon. All Collections received to the lockbox or otherwise received by Lender will, until credited as above provided, be deposited to a non-interest bearing cash collateral account maintained with Lender and Borrowers will not have access to that account. Lender shall have, with respect to any goods related to the Receivables, all the rights and remedies of an unpaid seller under the UCC and other applicable law, including the rights of replevin, claim and delivery, reclamation and stoppage in transit.
1.5 | Receivables Activity Report. Within 30 days after the end of each Monthly Period, Lender shall send to Borrowers a report covering the transactions for that Monthly Period, including the amount of all Advances, Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, and other fees and charges. The accounting shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless Borrowers make written objection to Lender within 30 days after the Lender sends the accounting to Borrowers. |
|
|
1.6 | Adjustments. In the event any Adjustment or dispute is asserted by any Account Debtor, the applicable Borrower shall promptly advise Lender and shall, subject to the Lender’s approval, resolve such disputes and advise Lender of any Adjustments; provided that in no case will the aggregate Adjustments made with respect to any Receivable exceed 2% of its original Receivable Amount unless Borrowers have obtained the prior written consent of Lender. So long as any Obligations are outstanding, Lender shall have the right, at any time, to take possession of any rejected, returned, or recovered personal property. If such possession is not taken by Lender, Borrowers are to resell it for Lender’s account at Borrowers’ expense with the proceeds made payable to Lender. While any Borrower retains possession of any returned goods, such Borrower shall segregate said goods and xxxx them as property of Lender. |

The Cash Management Services shall be subject to additional terms set forth in applicable cash management services agreements. |
|
|

Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.
14.6
The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority’’ in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.
14.7
Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.
16
14.8
The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to emer equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
14.9
If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
14.10
THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
15.
EXECUTION, EFFECTIVENESS, SURVIVAL. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by Borrowers and Lender and shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date and thereafter so long as any Obligations remain outstanding hereunder. Lender reserves the right to issue press releases, advertisements, and other promotional materials describing any successful outcome of services provided on Borrowers’ behalf, only with Borrower’s prior approval. Borrowers agree that Lender shall have the right to identify Borrowers by name in those materials.
16.
OTHER AGREEMENTS. Any security agreements, liens and/or security interests securing payment of any obligations of Borrowers owing to Lender or its Affiliates also secure the Obligations, and are valid and subsisting and are not adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. An Event of Default under this Agreement constitutes a default under other outstanding agreements between Borrowers and Lender or its Affiliates.
17.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; SINGLE LOAN ACCOUNT.
17.1
Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable to Bank for payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations, and liabilities of the other Borrower. Bank may bring a separate action or actions on each, imy, or all of the Obligations against any Borrower, whether action is brought against the other Borrowers or whether the other Borrowers are joined in such action. In the event that any Borrower fails to make any payment of any Obligations on or before the due date thereof, the other Borrowers immediately shall cause such payment to be made or each of such Obligations to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.
17.2
Primarv Obligation: Waiver of Marshaling. This Agreement and the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower, are not the creation of a surety relationship, and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing promise of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to this Agreement or the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party. Each Borrower agrees that its liability under this Agreement and the Loan Documents which Borrowers are a party shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Bank of whatever remedies. they may have against the other Borrowers, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Bank may at any time possess. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Bank shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets of any Borrower against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
17
17.3
Financial Condition of Borrowers. Each Borrower acknowledges that it is presently informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that it will continue to keep i.nformed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers, the status of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Absent a written request from any Borrower to Bank for information, each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have to require Bank to disclose to such Borrower any information which Bank may now or hereafter acquire concerning the condition or circumstances of the other Borrowers.
17.4
Continuing Liability. The liability of each Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party includes Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any right to revoke its liability under this Agreement and Loan Documents as to future indebtedness, and in connection therewith, each Borrower hereby waives any rights it may have under Section 2815 of the California Civil Code.
17.5
Additional Waivers. Each Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:
(a)
(1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to each Borrower’s right to make inquiry of Bank to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the other Borrowers or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party; and (6) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Borrowers hereunder or under the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled.
(b)
its right, under Sections 2845 or 2850 of the California Civil Code, or otherwise, to require Bank to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Bank has or may have against, the other Borrowers or any third party, or against any collateral for the Obligations provided by the other Borrowers, or any third party. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of the other Borrowers or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrowers in respect thereof.
(c)
(1) any rights to assert against Bank any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other party liable to Bank; (2) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (3) any defense such Borrower has to performance hereunder, and any right such Borrower has to be exonerated, provided by Sections 2819, 2822, or 2825 of the California Civil Code, or otherwise, arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of Bank’ rights or remedies against the other Borrowers; the alteration by Bank of the Obligations; any discharge of the other Borrowers’ obligations to Bank by operation of law as a result of Bank’ intervention or omission; or the acceptance by Bank of anything in partial satisfaction of the Obligations; and (4) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Borrower’s liability hereunder.
(d)
Each Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Bank including any defense based upon an election of remedies by Bank under the provisions of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar law of California or any other jurisdiction; or (ii) any election by Bank under Section 1111 (b) of the Bankruptcy Code to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against Borrowers. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2856(b):
(i)
Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
18
(ii)
Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Bank may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrowers; and (2) if Bank forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the .other Borrowers: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Bank may collect from such Borrower even if Bank, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(e)
Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives: (i) any right of subrogation such Borrower has or may have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; (ii) any right to proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which such Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; and (iii) any right to proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of the other Borrowers.
(f)
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, KNOWINGLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810,2815,2819,2820,2821,2822,2825,2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, AND 2850, CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d, AND 726, CALIFORNIA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECTIONS 3116, 3118, 3119, 3419, 3605, 9504,9505, AND 9507, AND CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 14 OF PART 4 OF DIVISION 3 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE.
17.6
Settlements or Releases. Each Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower, and without affecting or impairing the liability of such Borrower hereunder, Bank may, by action or inaction:
(a)
compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce this Agreement and the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, with respect to the other Borrowers or any Guarantor;
(b)
release the other Borrowers or any Guarantor or grant other indulgences to the other Borrowers or any Guarantor in respect thereof; or
(c)
release or substitute any Guarantor, if any, of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations or any other guaranty of the Obligations, or any portion thereof.
17.7
No Election. Bank shall have the right to seek recourse against each Borrower to the fullest extent provided for herein, and no election by Bank to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Bank’ right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other partiesunless Bank has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Bank under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall serve to diminish the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party except to the extent that Bank finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding.
17.8
Indefeasible Payment. The Obligations shall not be considered indefeasibly paid unless and until all payments to Bank are no longer subject to any right on the part of any Person, including any Borrower, any Borrower as a debtor in possession, or any trustee (whether appointed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) of any Borrower’s Assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any portion . thereof, or to declare same to be fraudulent or preferential. Upon such full and final performance and indefeasible payment of the Obligations, Bank shall have no obligation whatsoever to transfer or assign its interest in this Agreement and the Loan Documents to any Borrower. In the event that, for any reason, any portion of such payments to Bank is set aside or restored, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making thereof, then the obligation intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made, and any Borrower shall be liable for the full amount Bank is required to repay plus any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and attorneys’ fees incurred in proceedings brought under the Bankruptcy Code) paid by Bank in connection therewith.
19
17.9
Single Loan Account. At the request of Borrowers to facilitate and expedite the administration and accounting processes and procedures of the Loans and Borrowings, Bank have agreed, in lieu of maintaining separate loan accounts on Bank’ books in the name of each of the Borrowers, that Bank may maintain a single loan account under the name of all of both Borrowers (the “Loan Account”). All Loans shall be made jointly and severally to Borrowers and shall be charged to the Loan Account, together with all interest and other charges as permitted under and pursuant to this Agreement. The Loan Account shall be credited with all repayments of Obligations received by Bank, on behalf of Borrowers, from either Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
17.1 0
Apportionment of Proceeds of Loans. Each Borrower expressly agrees and acknowledges that Bank shall have no responsibility to inquire into the correctness of the apportionment or allocation of or any disposition by any of Borrowers of (a) the Loans or any Borrowings, or (b) any of the expenses and other items charged to the Loan Account pursuant to this Agreement. The Loans and all such Borrowings and such expenses and other items shall be made for the collective, joint, and several account of Borrowers and shall be charged to the Loan Account.
