LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.16
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (together with any schedule, annex, or exhibit attached hereto, as the same may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified, this “Agreement”) is entered into on March 10, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and REDBACK NETWORKS INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose chief executive office is 000 Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Borrower’s Address”). (Definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)
| 1. | ADVANCES. |
1.1 Advances. Bank will make advances and/or EXIM Loans (collectively, the “Advances”) to Borrower up to the amounts shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of Reserves.
1.2 EXIM Guaranty. To facilitate the financing of Eligible Foreign Accounts, the EXIM Bank has agreed to guarantee the EXIM Loans made under this Agreement, pursuant to a Master Guarantee Agreement, Loan Authorization Agreement and (to the extent applicable) Delegated Authority Letter Agreement (collectively, the “EXIM Guaranty”). If, at any time after the EXIM Guaranty has been entered into by Bank, for any reason other than due to any action or inaction of Borrower under the EXIM Guaranty, (a) the EXIM Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (b) if the EXIM Bank declares the EXIM Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, and any Overadvance results from either of the foregoing, Bank shall provide notice of such Overadvance to Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank. If, at any time after the EXIM Guaranty has been entered into by Bank, for any reason other than the one described in the foregoing sentence, (x) the EXIM Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (y) the EXIM Bank declares the EXIM Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, any such event shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Nothing in any confidentiality agreement in this Agreement or in any other agreement shall restrict Bank’s right to make disclosures and provide information to the EXIM Bank in connection with the EXIM Guaranty.
1.3 EXIM Agreement. Borrower may execute and deliver a Borrower Agreement, in the form specified by the EXIM Bank (attached hereto as Annex A), in favor of Bank and the EXIM Bank, together with an amendment thereto approved by the EXIM Bank to conform certain terms of such Borrower Agreement to the terms of this Agreement (as amended, the “EXIM Agreement”). If the EXIM Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the EXIM Bank and delivered to Bank, this Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the EXIM Agreement, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. From and after the time Borrower and the EXIM Bank have entered into the EXIM Agreement and delivered the same to Bank, Borrower expressly agrees to perform all of the obligations and comply with all of the affirmative and negative covenants and all other terms and conditions set forth in the EXIM Agreement as though the same were expressly set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the EXIM Agreement (if then in effect) and the other terms of this
Agreement, whichever terms are more restrictive shall apply. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the Loan Authorization Agreement which is referred to in the EXIM Agreement. If the EXIM Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the EXIM Bank and delivered to Bank, Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Authorization Agreement, including, without limitation, by any additions or revisions made prior to its execution on behalf of EXIM Bank. Upon the execution of the Loan Authorization Agreement by EXIM Bank and Bank, it shall become an attachment to the EXIM Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all fees and all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Bank with respect to the EXIM Guaranty and the EXIM Agreement, including without limitation all facility fees and usage fees, and Bank is authorized to debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Bank for such fees, costs and expenses when paid by Bank. If Borrower desires to receive advances under the EXIM Borrowing Base, until such time as Borrower and the EXIM Bank have entered into the EXIM Agreement and delivered the same to Bank, Borrower shall pay the EXIM Borrowing Fee set forth on the Schedule.
1.4 Interest. All Advances, Bank Expenses, and other fees shall bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the last day of the month. Interest shall be charged to a deposit account with Bank designated by Borrower, or if no funds are available in any such deposit account, as an Advance under this Agreement.
1.5 Overadvances. Subject to the terms set forth in the Schedule and except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2, if at any time or for any reason the total of all outstanding Advances and all other monetary Obligations exceeds the sum of the Credit Limit and the Permitted Overadvances (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Bank the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance that is not a Permitted Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.
1.6 Fees. Borrower shall pay Bank the fees shown on the Schedule, which are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Bank and are not refundable.
1.7 Advance Requests. To obtain an Advance, Borrower shall make a request to Bank by facsimile or telephone. Advance requests received after 12:00 Noon Pacific time will not be considered by Bank until the next Business Day. Bank may rely on any telephone request for a Advance given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is an authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers as a result of that reliance.
1.8 Letters of Credit. At the request of Borrower, Bank may, in its good faith business judgment, issue or arrange for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of Borrower, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion (collectively, “Letters of Credit”). The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit from time to time outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit shown on the Schedule, and shall be reserved against the Borrowing Base which would reduce the availability of Advances hereunder, and in the event at any time there is insufficient availability under the Borrowing
-2-
Base for such reserve, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with Bank cash collateral, or maintain securities acceptable to Bank and subject to a securities account control agreement, in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency, which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon Borrower’s request, Bank will release any such deposit to Borrower to the extent there is additional availability under the Borrowing Base. Borrower shall pay all bank charges (including charges of Bank) for the issuance of Letters of Credit, together with such additional fee as Bank’s letter of credit department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit or as set forth in the Standby Letter of Credit Application completed by Borrower. Any payment by Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall constitute an Advance hereunder on the date such payment is made. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by Bank, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit; except to the extent any such loss, cost, expense or liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank. Borrower agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower understands that Letters of Credit may require Bank to indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Bank under any Letter of Credit as a result of Bank’s indemnification of any such issuing bank. The provisions of this Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any other Loan Document relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative. To the extent the terms of any letter of credit application are in conflict with this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Jabil LC is hereby deemed to have been issued hereunder and is expressly made subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all Deposit Accounts; all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property); all Investment Property (excluding 35% of the equity interests of Subsidiaries formed in jurisdictions outside of the United States); all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrower’s books relating to any and all of the above.

| 3. | REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER. |
In order to induce Bank to enter into this Agreement and to make Advances, and except to the extent set forth in the Representations, Borrower represents and warrants to Bank as follows, and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true at all times, and that Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:
3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in Delaware, California, and all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (a) have been duly and validly authorized, (b) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally), (c) do not violate Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation, or Borrower’s by-laws, or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (d) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.
3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement, or such other name of which it has notified Bank in accordance with this Section 3.2, is its correct name. Listed in the Representations are all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Borrower shall give Bank 30 days prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement as Borrower’s address (or such other address of which Borrower has given Bank notice pursuant to this Section 3.3) is Borrower’s chief executive office. In addition, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations (or such other locations of which Borrower has given or will give Bank notice pursuant to this Section 3.3). Borrower will give Bank at least ten days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations, except that Borrower may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $50,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.
(a) Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased or licensed to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Bank now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject
-4-
only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Bank and the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations all of Borrower’s Deposit Accounts. Borrower will give Bank five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any Deposit Account with a bank other than Bank and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Bank a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Bank’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment. Nothing herein limits any requirements which may be set forth in the Schedule as to where Deposit Accounts will be maintained.
(c) In the event that Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank thereof in writing and provide Bank with such information regarding the same as Bank shall request (unless providing such information would waive the Borrower’s attorney-client privilege). Such notification to Bank shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Bank, and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Bank shall request in connection therewith.
(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower’s right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall, whenever requested by Bank, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Bank, in form acceptable to Bank, such waivers and subordinations as Bank shall specify in its good faith business judgment. In the event that such waivers and subordinations are not obtained, Bank may, in its discretion, establish appropriate reserves against the Borrowing Base. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will promptly advise Bank in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 Books and Records. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower’s Address books and records sufficient to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. Subject to the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments in the case of interim financial statements, all financial statements of Borrower and it consolidated subsidiaries now or in the future delivered to Bank have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly
-5-
present in all material respects the results of operations and financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Bank and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed, and will timely file, all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower (it being understood that payment of certain taxes has been deferred and such taxes will be paid over time pursuant to Borrower’s Plan of Reorganization). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests Borrower’s obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower that would result in a Material Adverse Change. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency that would result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has, to its knowledge, complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower’s ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower’s business, and all environmental matters.
3.10 Litigation. There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to Borrower’s knowledge) threatened against Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency which could reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change. Borrower will promptly inform Bank in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened in writing or instituted against Borrower involving any single claim that can reasonably be expected to result in liability in excess of $100,000, or $250,000 in the aggregate.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Advances shall be used solely for lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock,” in either case in violation of Regulation U.
-6-
| 4. | ACCOUNTS. |
4.1 Representations Relating to Accounts. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank as follows: Each Account with respect to which Advances are requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Advance is requested and made (a) represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of services, or the non-exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property, in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, and (b) meet the Minimum Domestic Eligibility Requirements or Minimum Foreign Eligibility Requirements, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8 below.
4.2 Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank as follows: All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of Borrower’s books and records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. To Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
4.3 Schedules and Documents relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in the Schedule, on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s security interest and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Bank’s security interest and other rights therein. If requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Bank an aged accounts receivable trial balance as provided in the Schedule. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all credit memos.
4.4 Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall have the right to collect all Accounts, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine (it being understood that no proceeds will be applied to undrawn amounts of Letters of Credit). Borrower shall deposit all proceeds of
-7-
Collateral into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Bank may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Bank may specify in its good faith business judgment.
4.5 Remittance of Proceeds. All proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
4.6 Disputes. Borrower shall notify Bank promptly of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided that: (a) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm’s length transactions, which are reported to Bank on the regular reports provided to Bank; (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (c) taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the Credit Limit (unless arrangements are made to reduce the amount of the outstanding Advances so that they will not exceed the Credit Limit).
4.7 Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and, unless such return is disputed by Borrower or unless such return is immediately replaced by Borrower, promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank of the return of the Inventory.
4.8 Verification. Bank may, from time to time, verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose.
4.9 No Liability. Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
-8-
| 5. | ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF BORROWER. |
5.1 Financial and Other Covenants. Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
5.2 Insurance. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Bank, in such form and amounts as Bank may reasonably require and that are customary and in accordance with standard practices for Borrower’s industry and locations, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to Bank. All casualty insurance policies shall name Bank as loss payee and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Bank. All policies of liability insurance shall name Bank as an additional insured. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance, Bank shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as Bank shall determine in its good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall release to Borrower casualty insurance proceeds totaling less than $250,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the property with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Bank may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Bank may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Bank copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.
5.3 Reports. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Bank with the written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with respect to Borrower (including budgets, sales projections, operating plans and other financial documentation), as Bank shall from time to time reasonably specify in its good faith business judgment.
5.4 Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times, and on one Business Day’s notice, Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s books and records. After the initial inspection and audit, such inspections and audits shall occur quarterly or more frequently at Bank’s discretion. Bank shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Bank shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to pay such expenses more than once per fiscal quarter. In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten days in advance, and Borrower seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a cancellation fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank, to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation.
-9-
5.5 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, without Bank’s prior written consent (which shall be a matter of its good faith business judgment), do any of the following:
(a) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity (except that a Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with or into another Subsidiary or Borrower); or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of a Person other than a Subsidiary; provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of a Person other than a Subsidiary, if (i) a Default or Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing and would not occur as a result of such transaction; and (ii) such transaction shall not result in a decrease in excess of 25% of Tangible Net Worth of Borrower on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the transaction;
(b) enter into any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except for (i) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms (when viewed in the context of any series of transactions of which it may be a part, if applicable); and (ii) transactions permitted under Sections 5.5(f) or (i);
(c) Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively “Transfer”) all or any part of its business or property, except for:

(j) permit, vote in favor of, or enter into any agreement that would result in, a Change of Control;
(k) engage, directly or indirectly, in any material line of business other than those lines of business conducted by Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof and any businesses reasonably related, complementary or incidental thereto or reasonable extensions thereof; or
(l) with respect to Borrower only, dissolve or elect to dissolve, or, without prior written notice to Bank, change its state of incorporation.
Transactions not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.5 are only permitted if no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such transaction.
5.6 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be instituted by or against Bank with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Bank, use reasonable efforts to make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and records, to the extent that Bank may deem them reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.
5.7 Further Assurances. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by Bank, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Bank, may, in its good faith business judgment, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Bank’s perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2 Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (a) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (b) by Bank at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately. If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Bank under this Section 6.2 prior to June 30, 2005, Borrower shall pay to Bank a termination fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Maximum Credit Limit, provided that no termination fee shall be charged if (x) the credit facility hereunder is replaced with a new facility from another division of Silicon Valley Bank or (y) Borrower is subject to and in compliance with the First Reset Conditions. The termination fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting Bank’s other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Bank an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Bank (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower’s expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower’s name or otherwise, but Bank agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Bank may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Bank’s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Bank, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other Loan Documents; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Account, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Bank’s possession; (d) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by Bank; (e) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (g) Pay any sums required on account of Borrower’s taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (h) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give Bank the same rights of access and other rights with respect thereto as Bank has under this Agreement; and (j) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents.

In no event shall Bank’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Bank’s other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Bank is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Bank, first, to the costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third, to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.

-15-
option, exercisable at any time, in its good faith business judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of the cash therefor.
7.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Bank shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under the Code and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Bank and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive.

The failure or delay of Bank to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

| 9. | GENERAL PROVISIONS. |
9.1 EXIM Agreement; Cross-Collateralization; Cross-Default; Conflicts. Both this Agreement and the EXIM Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and all rights and
-27-
remedies under this Agreement and the EXIM Agreement are cumulative. The term “Obligations” as used in this Agreement and in the EXIM Agreement shall include without limitation the obligation to pay when due all loans made pursuant to the EXIM Agreement (the “EXIM Loans”) and all interest thereon and the obligation to pay when due all Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all interest thereon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all “Collateral” as defined in this Agreement and as defined in the EXIM Agreement shall secure all EXIM Loans and all Advances and all interest thereon, and all other Obligations. Any Event of Default under this Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under the EXIM Agreement, and any Event of Default under the EXIM Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. In the event Bank assigns its rights under this Agreement and/or under any note evidencing EXIM Loans and/or its rights under the EXIM Agreement and/or under any note evidencing Advances, to any third party, including, without limitation, the EXIM Bank, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the right (but not any obligation), in its sole discretion, to allocate and apportion Collateral to the EXIM Agreement and/or note assigned and to specify the priorities of the respective security interests in such Collateral between itself and the assignee, all without notice to or consent of the Borrower. Should any term of this Agreement conflict with any term of the EXIM Agreement, the more restrictive term in either agreement shall govern the Borrower.
9.2 Interest Computation; Float Charge. In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 Noon Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In addition, whenever Advances are outstanding, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to three Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Loans, on all Payments received by Bank. The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month. Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may charge Borrower’s loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.
9.3 Application of Payments. All payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied, and in Bank’s good faith business judgment reversed and re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Bank shall determine in its good faith business judgment.
9.4 Charges to Accounts. Bank may, in its discretion, require that Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Bank or charge any monetary Obligations to Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with Bank, or, if no amounts are available in such deposit accounts, charge them to Borrower’s loan account with Bank, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate applicable to the Advances.
9.5 Monthly Accountings. Bank shall provide Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Bank), unless Borrower notifies Bank in writing to the contrary within 60 days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.
-28-
9.6 Notices. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested, addressed to Bank or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the other party. Notices to Bank shall be directed to the Commercial Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division Credit Manager. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one Business Day following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business Days following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.
9.7 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
9.8 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Bank and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith.
9.9 Waivers; Indemnity. The failure of Bank at any time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive or diminish any right of Bank later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Bank or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Bank and delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives the benefit of all statutes of limitations relating to any of the Obligations or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Bank on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Bank, unless expressly required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Bank and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), of every kind, which they may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Obligations, or any relationship or agreement between Bank and Borrower, or any other matter, relating to Borrower or the Obligations; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to damages proximately caused by the indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall for all purposes continue in full force and effect.
-29-
9.10 No Liability for Ordinary Negligence. Neither Bank, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Bank, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank, but nothing herein shall relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.11 Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized officer of Bank.
9.12 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.13 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Bank, pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs Bank incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this Agreement and all present and future documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors; commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; subject to any limitations on fees specified elsewhere herein, examine, audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower’s books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce Bank’s security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Bank in any litigation relating to Borrower. In satisfying Borrower’s obligation hereunder to reimburse Bank for attorneys fees, Borrower may, for convenience, issue checks directly to Bank’s attorneys, Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP is representing only Bank and not Borrower in connection with this Agreement. If either Bank or Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys’ fees and costs to which Bank may be entitled pursuant to this Section shall immediately become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
9.14 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Bank; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. No consent by Bank to any assignment shall release Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
-30-
9.15 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of Bank, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of Bank, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of Bank in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9.16 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Bank acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed strictly against Bank or Borrower under any rule of construction or otherwise.
9.17 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all acts and transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Bank and Borrower shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

9.19 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Borrower, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but
-31-
disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans which agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information pursuant to an agreement substantially similar to this Section 9.19; (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order so long as Borrower is given notice thereof if practicable (and Bank is permitted to provide such notice) and an opportunity to seek a protective order, (d) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; and (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between Silicon Valley Bank and Borrower of even date.
| 1. CREDIT LIMIT |
||
| (Section 1.1): |
An amount (the “Credit Limit”) not to exceed the lesser of: (a) $20,000,000 at any one time outstanding (the “Maximum Credit Limit”); or (b) the sum of (i) amounts available under the Domestic Borrowing Base plus (ii) amounts available under the EXIM Borrowing Base. | |
| Bank may, from time to time, modify the Domestic Borrowing Base or the EXIM Borrowing Base, in its good faith business judgment, upon notice to the Borrower, based on changes in collection experience with respect to Eligible Domestic Accounts and Eligible Foreign Accounts or other issues or factors relating to the Eligible Domestic Accounts and Eligible Foreign Accounts or other Collateral. | ||
| Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Advances and amounts outstanding under the sublimits set forth below, shall not exceed the Maximum Credit Limit. | ||
| Sublimits |
||
| (Sections 1.5 and 1.8): |
||
| Cash Management |
||
| Services and Reserves: |
So long as Borrower maintains at all times with Bank unrestricted cash balances (net of Advances) of at least $7,000,000, Borrower may use amounts not to exceed $16,000,000 minus the sum of (a) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) and (b) the FX Reserve, for Bank’s Cash Management Services (as defined below), including, merchant services, business credit card, ACH and other services identified in the cash management services agreement related to such service (the “Cash Management Services”).

| Silicon Valley Bank | Schedule to loan and Security Agreement |
| hereunder such sums as Bank shall determine in its good faith business judgment in connection with the Cash Management Services, and Bank may charge to Borrower’s loan account or deposit accounts with Bank, any amounts that may become due or owing to Bank in connection with the Cash Management Services. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Bank all standard form applications and agreements of Bank in connection with the Cash Management Services, and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Bank in connection with the Cash Management Services.

So long as Borrower maintains at all times with Bank unrestricted cash balances (net of Advances) of at least $7,000,000, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with Bank, on its standard forms, under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contracts”).

The aggregate amount of the FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten times the amount of the FX Reserve (which shall be in addition to other reserves). In the event at any time there are insufficient amounts available to Borrower for such FX Reserve, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with Bank cash collateral in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency, which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. Bank may, in its discretion, terminate the FX Forward Contracts at any time that an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or when Borrower fails to maintain with Bank the unrestricted cash balance set forth in the first sentence hereof.

| Re: | Redback Networks, Inc . (the “Borrower”) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement between us and the Borrower dated March 10, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”), we act as the lender for the Borrower and have been granted a security interest in all of its inventory and other personal property assets (collectively, the “Collateral”). We understand that from time to time Collateral is delivered to you for storage, processing and/or other purposes.
This letter constitutes notice to you of our security interest in the Collateral. Until you are notified to the contrary, however, you may continue to accept instructions from the Borrower regarding the Collateral.
This will confirm your agreement that until such time as the obligations of the Borrower to us have been paid in full, you disclaim any liens on, claims to, or interest in the Collateral and the proceeds thereof and agree not to assert any claim against the Collateral or proceeds thereof. You warrant to us that no negotiable warehouse receipts have been issued by you with respect to the Collateral, that you have not received notice from any other person claiming a security interest in the Collateral, and that you will not, in the future issue any negotiable warehouse receipts with respect to the Collateral.
This will also confirm your agreement to (a) permit us, or our agent or representative, to enter upon the premises where the Collateral is located for the purpose of exercising any right we may have under the terms of the Loan Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to remove the Collateral; provided, however, that if we, or our agent or representative, in removing the Collateral, damages any of your improvements on the premises, we will, at our expense, cause the same to be repaired, and (b) deliver the Collateral to us or as we direct (without cost to you), upon our written request.
To complete our records, kindly have a duplicate of this letter signed by an officer of your company and return the same to us at your earliest convenience. You will note that this notification has been consented to by the Borrower. Please contact us at with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
