EXHIBIT 10.20
SILICON VALLEY BANK
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
BORROWER: HARMONIC, INC.
ADDRESS: 000 XXXXXX XXX
XXXXXXXXX, XX 00000
DATE: MARCH 28, 2003
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between
SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Silicon"), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and the borrower(s) named above (jointly and severally,
the "Borrower"), whose chief executive office is located at the above address
("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule to this Agreement (the "Schedule") shall
for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and the same is an
integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this
Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)
As set forth in the Amendment to Loan Documents of even date between Silicon and
the Borrower, this Loan Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Second
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated March 5, 1999 between
Silicon and Borrower (as previously amended, the "Prior Agreement").
1. LOANS.
1.1 LOANS. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans") consisting of
Equipment Loans and Revolving Loans as set forth in the Schedule, in amounts
determined by Silicon in its good faith business judgment, up to the amounts
(the "Credit Limit") shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of Reserves for
accrued interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to
time in its good faith business judgment.
1.2 INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations 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, on the last
day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon's discretion, be charged to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
1.3 OVERADVANCES. If at any time or for any reason the total of all
outstanding Loans and all other monetary Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit
(an "Overadvance"), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to
Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation to
repay to Silicon the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Silicon
interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default
Rate.
1.4 FEES. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fees shown on the Schedule, which
are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are not
refundable.
1.5 LOAN REQUESTS. To obtain a Loan, Borrower shall make a request to Silicon
by facsimile or telephone. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon will not be
considered by Silicon until the next Business Day. Silicon may rely on any
telephone request for a Loan given by a person whom Silicon believes is an
authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify Silicon for
any loss Silicon suffers as a result of that reliance.
1.6 LETTERS OF CREDIT. At the request of Borrower, Silicon 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
Silicon 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 amount shown on the Schedule (the "Letter of Credit
Sublimit"), and shall be reserved against Loans which would otherwise be
available hereunder, and in the event at any time there are insufficient Loans
-1-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
available to Borrower for such reserve, Borrower shall deposit and maintain with
Silicon cash collateral in an amount at all times equal to such deficiency,
which shall be held as Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. Borrower
shall pay all bank charges (including charges of Silicon) for the issuance of
Letters of Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon's letter of
credit department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of
Credit. Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter of Credit
shall constitute a Loan 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; provided, that a Letter of Credit may have an expiry date after
said date if 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall deposit and
maintain with Silicon cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face
amount of such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Silicon harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments
made by Silicon, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon
arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit, except any loss,
cost, expense or liability arising from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of Silicon. Borrower agrees to be bound by the regulations and
interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Silicon and
opened for Borrower's account or by Silicon's interpretations of any Letter of
Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's account, and Borrower understands and
agrees that Silicon 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 if the same arises from the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of Silicon. Borrower understands that Letters of Credit may
require Silicon 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 Silicon harmless with respect to any loss, cost,
expense, or liability incurred by Silicon under any Letter of Credit as a result
of Silicon's indemnification of any such issuing bank except any loss, cost,
expense or liability arising from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Silicon. The provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of
Credit, and any other Loan Documents relating to Letters of Credit are
cumulative.
2. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the
Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Silicon 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; 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. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to any subsidiary of
Borrower that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United
States (a "Foreign Subsidiary), the "Collateral" shall not include that portion
(if any) of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of such Foreign
Subsidiary owned by Borrower that is in excess of 65% of the aggregate issued
and outstanding capital stock (or other equity interests) of such Foreign
Subsidiary.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER.
In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans,
Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and Borrower covenants
that the following representations will continue to be true, 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
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue to be qualified
and licensed to do business in 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 (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) 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), and (iii) do not
violate Borrower's articles or 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 (iv) 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 is its correct name. Listed in the Representations, or
provided to Silicon under the next sentence, are all prior names of Borrower and
all of Borrower's present and prior trade names. Borrower shall give Silicon 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.
-2-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
3.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office unless notice has
been given to Silicon pursuant to this Section 3.3. In addition, Borrower has
places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in
the Representations unless notice has been given to Silicon pursuant to this
Section 3.3. Borrower will give Silicon at least 30 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 $10,000 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 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. Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority
perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject
only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and
the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrower has set forth in the Representations, or in notices to Silicon
given pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), all of Borrower's Deposit Accounts, and
Borrower will give Silicon five Business Days advance written notice before
establishing any new Deposit Accounts and will cause the institution where any
such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Silicon a
control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Silicon's security interest in
the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Silicon 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 or intends to
assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $100,000, Borrower shall
promptly notify Silicon thereof in writing and provide Silicon with such
information regarding the same as Silicon shall request (unless providing such
information would waive the Borrower's attorney-client privilege). Such
notification to Silicon shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the
commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Silicon, and Borrower shall
execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Silicon
shall request in connection therewith.
(d) None of the Equipment financed by Silicon 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 with
priority over the security interest of Silicon. Whenever any Collateral is
located upon premises in which any third party has an interest, Borrower shall,
whenever requested by Silicon, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to
Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify in its good
faith business judgment. 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 immediately advise
Silicon 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 complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial statements now
or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly present in all
material respects the results of operations and financial condition of Borrower,
in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated.
Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the
date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
3.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Except to the extent
contested pursuant to the next sentence, Borrower has timely filed, and will
timely file, all required tax returns and reports (other than such returns and
reports that, individually or in the aggregate, are immaterial), 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 (other than such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions that,
individually or in the aggregate, are immaterial). Borrower may, however, defer
payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings
promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in
writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, any such
proceedings involving more than $50,000, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any
other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any
of the Collateral. As of the date of this Agreement and except as set forth on
Schedule 2 to this Agreement, Borrower is unaware of any claims or
-3-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax years which could result in
additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. 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.
3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Except to the extent that the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, Borrower has, to
the best of 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 best of Borrower's knowledge) threatened against or
affecting Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency (or any basis
therefor known to Borrower) which could reasonably be expected to result, either
separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change. Borrower will
promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or
investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrower involving
any single claim of $250,000 or more, or involving $500,000 or more in the
aggregate, exclusive of litigation the potential liability in connection with
which is fully insured against.
3.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans 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 Loan 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."
4. ACCOUNTS.
4.1 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO ACCOUNTS. Borrower represents and warrants to
Silicon as follows: Each Account included in reports of Eligible Accounts by
Borrower to Silicon or shown on Borrower's records as Eligible Accounts, shall,
on the date each Loan is requested and made, (i) 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 (ii) meet the Minimum Eligibility Requirements set
forth in Section 8 below.
4.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Borrower
represents and warrants to Silicon 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 the best of 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.
4.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO ACCOUNTS. Borrower shall deliver to
Silicon transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in the
Schedule, on Silicon's standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower's
failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Silicon's
security interest and other rights in all of Borrower's Accounts, nor shall
Silicon's failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit
Silicon's security interest and other rights therein. If requested by Silicon,
Borrower shall furnish Silicon with copies (or, at Silicon'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 Silicon an aged accounts receivable trial balance
as provided in the Schedule. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Silicon, 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 indorsements, and
copies of all credit memos.
4.4 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred,
Borrower shall direct all Account Debtors to remit all proceeds of Accounts and
General Intangibles to a lockbox account, as Silicon may specify, pursuant to a
lockbox agreement in such form as Silicon may specify. Within one Business Day
after receipt by Silicon of such proceeds in the lockbox account in immediately
available funds, Silicon shall deposit the same into Borrower's operating
account at Silicon, if (i) no Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and (ii) the Streamline Provisions are in effect (as provided in the
Schedule). If the Streamline Provisions are not in effect, any funds received in
the lockbox shall be applied to
-4-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
the Revolving Loans, and Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of,
Accounts and General Intangibles in trust for Silicon, and Borrower shall
immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds, which are received by
Borrower, to Silicon in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the
Revolving Loans, and any excess shall be remitted to the Borrower. If an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds received in the lockbox
shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine,
and Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts and General
Intangibles in trust for Silicon, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all
such payments and proceeds, which are received by Borrower, to Silicon in their
original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as
Silicon shall determine.
4.5. REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds arising from the disposition of any
Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to Silicon 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
Silicon shall determine; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Silicon
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 $25,000 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 Silicon.
Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set
forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon all disputes or claims relating
to Accounts on the regular reports of Eligible Accounts provided to Silicon, and
promptly upon becoming aware of any disputes or claims with respect to Accounts
totaling more than $250,000, Borrower shall notify Silicon of the same. 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: (i) 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 Silicon on the regular reports
provided to Silicon; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; and (iii) taking into account all such discounts, settlements and
forgiveness, the total outstanding Loans 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 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 Silicon, and immediately
notify Silicon of the return of the Inventory.
4.8 VERIFICATION. Silicon 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 Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose.
4.9 NO LIABILITY. Silicon 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 Silicon 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 Silicon from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
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 Silicon, in such form and amounts as Silicon
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 Silicon. All such property insurance policies
shall name Silicon as a loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee
endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the
proceeds of any such insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction
of the Obligations as Silicon shall determine in its good faith business
judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Silicon shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds with respect
to Equipment totaling less than $100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower
for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the insurance
proceeds were paid. Silicon may require reasonable assurance that the insurance
proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay
-5-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
for any insurance, Silicon may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at
Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Silicon copies of all
material reports made to insurance companies.
5.3 REPORTS. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Silicon 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 Silicon shall from time to time 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, Silicon, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect
the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's books and records.
Silicon shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information
obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Silicon 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
Silicon's then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Silicon schedule an audit more
than 10 days in advance, and Borrower seeks to reschedules the audit with less
than 10 days written notice to Silicon, then (without limiting any of Silicon's
rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Silicon a cancellation fee of $1,000
plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Silicon, to compensate Silicon for
the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation.
5.5 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower
shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent (which shall be a matter of
its good faith business judgment), do any of the following:
(i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity, except that any
wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower may merge with and into Borrower;
(ii) acquire any assets, except for (A) acquisitions in the ordinary course
of business, and (B) acquisitions of assets (other than equity interests in
other Persons) for an aggregate consideration of not more than $1,000,000 during

(iii) engage in any business activities substantially different from
Borrower's present business activities;

business, (C) the sale of obsolete or unneeded Equipment in the ordinary course
of business, and (D) the sale of Borrower's Accounts to Silicon pursuant to that
certain Restated Non-Recourse Receivables Purchase and Modification Agreement,
dated December 14, 2001 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise
modified from time to time), between Borrower and Silicon;
(v) store any Inventory or other Collateral with any warehouseman or other
third party, except as disclosed in the Representations or as otherwise
disclosed in writing to Silicon;
(vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale, consignment, or
other contingent basis (unless such sales are not reported or classified, in any
reporting delivered by Borrower to Silicon, as generating Eligible Accounts);
(vii) make any loans of any money or other assets, except for Permitted
Investments;
(viii) create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, other than
Permitted Indebtedness;
(ix) guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to the obligations of
another party or entity (unless such guarantee or other liability of Borrower
constitutes Permitted Indebtedness);
(x) [reserved];
(xi) pay or declare any dividends on Borrower's stock (except for
dividends payable solely in stock of Borrower);
(xii) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly,

(xiii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than the
businesses currently engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto; or
(xiv) dissolve or elect to dissolve; or
(xvi) make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment.
Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only
permitted if no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of such
transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may make loans to
and/or Investments in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provided that the total of
all such loans and Investments and all other transfers of every kind to such
subsidiaries shall not exceed a total of $4,000,000 in any calendar month in the
aggregate, or a total of more than $25,000,000 in any fiscal year in the
aggregate, and provided that Borrower and its subsidiaries at all times shall
not maintain
-6-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
more than $6,000,000, in the aggregate, of cash and cash equivalents in deposit
and investment accounts of Borrower or any such subsidiary outside the United
States.
5.6 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be
instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or relating to
Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon, make available Borrower
and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower's books and records, to the
extent that Silicon 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
Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Silicon, may, in its
good faith business judgment, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and
maintain Silicon'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. TERM OF REVOLVING LOAN FACILITY AND TERM OF AGREEMENT.
6.1 TERM OF REVOLVING LOAN FACILITY. The period during which Revolving
Loans (as defined in the Schedule) will be made (the "Revolving Loan Period")
shall be from the date of this Agreement to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date set
forth in the Schedule, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. On and after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or any earlier
termination of this Agreement, no further Revolving Loans will be made. On the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date or on any earlier termination of this Agreement,
Borrower shall pay in full all outstanding Revolving Loans and any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon.
6.2 EARLY TERMINATION OF REVOLVING LOAN FACILITY AT BORROWER'S OPTION. The
Revolving Loan Period may be terminated prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date by Borrower, effective three business days after written notice of
termination is given by Borrower to Silicon.

paid and performed in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement, Silicon shall promptly terminate
its financing statements with respect to the Borrower and deliver to Borrower

remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof, without charge for so long
as Silicon deems it necessary, in its good faith business judgment, in order to
complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other
agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession of any
of the Collateral by court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any
bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court

announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or

the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;

receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail

item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon's good faith

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.

occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate
applicable to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four percent
per annum (the "Default Rate").

agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any Collateral
which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Borrower at least

sale is published at least five days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the
sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is

from Borrower any and all information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free
to employ other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its
discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.
7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, without limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, Borrower
grants to Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest,
authorizing and permitting Silicon (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 Silicon 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 Silicon
may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and
maintain Silicon's security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise
a right of Borrower or Silicon, 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

other lien; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of

other Loan Documents. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees
incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become
part of the Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and
-9-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to
any of the Obligations. In no event shall Silicon's rights under the foregoing
power of attorney or any of Silicon's other rights under this Agreement be
deemed to indicate that Silicon 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 Silicon first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon 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 Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be
paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall
remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon, in its good faith
business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or
other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Silicon
shall have the 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
Silicon of the cash therefor.
7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by
Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an
election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any
other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon 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.

Liens in favor of customs and revenue authorities which secure payment of

intercreditor agreement on Silicon's then standard form, acknowledge that the
security interest is subordinate to the security interest in favor of Silicon,

contingencies or risks which, as determined by Silicon in its good faith
business judgment, do or may adversely affect (i) the Collateral or any other
property which is security for the Obligations or its value (including without
limitation any increase in delinquencies of Accounts), (ii) the assets, business
or prospects of Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iii) the security interests and
other rights of Silicon in the Collateral (including the enforceability,
perfection and priority thereof); or (b) to reflect Silicon's good faith belief
that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower or any Guarantor to Silicon is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate
or misleading in any material respect; or (c) in respect of any state of facts
which Silicon determines in good faith constitutes an Event of Default or may,
with notice or passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default.

indicated, shall have the meanings given to such terms in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless

SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
9.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Silicon may, in its discretion, require that
Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
9.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Silicon 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 Silicon), unless Borrower
notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within 60 days after such account is
rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.
9.5 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 Silicon or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this

9.6 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.
9.7 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 Silicon 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.
9.8 WAIVERS; INDEMNITY. The failure of Silicon 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 Silicon
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 Silicon or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written
waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon 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 Silicon on which Borrower is or may in
any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Silicon, unless expressly
required by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Silicon 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 Silicon 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.
9.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Silicon, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon 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 Silicon, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve Silicon from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.10 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 Silicon.
9.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.12 ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance,
appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon, 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
-14-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
attorneys' fees and costs Silicon 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; 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 Silicon's security
interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Silicon in any litigation
relating to Borrower. In satisfying Borrower's obligation hereunder to reimburse
Silicon for attorneys fees, Borrower may, for convenience, issue checks directly
to Silicon's attorneys, Levy, Small & Xxxxxx, but Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that Levy, Small & Xxxxxx is representing only Silicon and not Borrower
in connection with this Agreement. If either Silicon 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 Silicon
may be entitled pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of
Borrower's 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.
9.13 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 Silicon; provided, however,
that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited assignment
shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release Borrower
from its liability for the Obligations.
9.14 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any
claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.15 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against
Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan 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 Silicon, 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
Silicon, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of
Silicon, 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
Silicon in its sole discretion. This provision shall survive any termination of
this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9.16 PARAGRAPH HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. Paragraph headings are only used in
this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Silicon 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 Silicon 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 Silicon and Borrower
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. As a material part of
the consideration to Silicon to enter into this Agreement, Borrower (i) agrees
that all actions and proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this
Agreement shall, at Silicon's option, be litigated in courts located within
California, and that the exclusive venue therefor shall be Santa Xxxxx County;
(ii) consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to
service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery or any
other method permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights Borrower may
have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change
the venue of any such action or proceeding.
9.18 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND SILICON EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF,
OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN SILICON AND BORROWER, OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF SILICON OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,

outstanding, and if, for any
reason, there are not sufficient

deliver to Silicon the proceeds of
Accounts, as received by Borrower,
as called for by Section 4.4 of
this Loan Agreement to be applied

schedules of collections as provided in Section 6(1) of this Schedule, and
Borrower will deliver to Silicon the proceeds of Accounts, as received by

has Available Cash of not less than
$20,000,000. If as of the end of any month
Borrower's Available Cash is less than
$20,000,000, then such audits may be

foregoing, nothing herein shall limit
Silicon's right to conduct such audits, if

and is continuing, or if Silicon in its good
faith business judgment believes that a
Default or Event of Default may have
occurred or that there has been
deterioration in Borrower's financial
performance or in the Collateral.

certain Amendment dated 2000 to
Second Amended and Restated Loan

Rights") of El Camino Resources de
America Latina, Inc. ("Lessor"),
relating to a lease of certain
equipment (as amended, the "Lease")
by the Lessor to Acom Communicacoes
Ltds. ("Acom"), under a Receivables
Purchase Agreement between Silicon
and the Lessor dated as of April
28, 2000 (the "Acom Purchase
Agreement"), and Borrower agreed to
purchase from Silicon all of the
Payment Rights in certain
circumstances.
-9-
SILICON VALLEY BANK SCHEDULE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Pursuant to an Agreement among
Acom, Lessor, Borrower and Silicon,
agreed to by Silicon on May 7,
2002, payments on the Lease were
changed from quarterly payments to
monthly payments as set forth in
the payment schedule in said
Agreement (the "Monthly Payments"),
and the Monthly Payments are
currently $103,796 per month, and
continue hereafter at $103,796 per
month.
(b) ACOM AMENDMENT CONTINUES. Borrower
and Silicon agree that the terms of
the Acom Amendment and the
documents relating thereto continue
in full force and effect, and all
indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations of the Borrower under
or in connection therewith are
included in the "Obligations" as
defined in this Agreement, for all
purposes of this Agreement.
Borrower is currently making the
Monthly Payments under the Lease to
Silicon, and Borrower agrees to
continue to make the Monthly
Payments to Silicon during the term
of this Agreement. On the Maturity
Date (unless sooner paid under
subsection (d) below), Borrower
shall pay Silicon the full unpaid
principal balance of the Monthly
Payments, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest, plus all other
sums due in connection therewith
(collectively, the "Acom Balance").
(c) ACOM RESERVE. Without limiting any
of the other provisions of this
Agreement relating to Reserves,
during the term of this Agreement,
there shall be reserved, from
Revolving Loans otherwise available
to Borrower, an amount equal to the
unpaid Acom Balance from time to
time outstanding, and if, for any
reason, there are not sufficient
Revolving Loans otherwise available
to Borrower for such Reserve,
Borrower shall repay the
outstanding Revolving Loans in an
amount sufficient so that the Acom
Balance can be reserved from
Revolving Loans otherwise available
to Borrower. If for any reason,
even after paying in full all
outstanding Revolving Loans, there
are not sufficient Revolving Loans
otherwise available to Borrower to
reserve the Acom Balance, then
Borrower shall provide cash
collateral to Silicon in an amount
equal to the Acom Balance, which
shall be "Collateral" for all
purposes of this Agreement.
(d) ACOM ASSIGNMENT. Borrower has
advised Silicon that it wishes to
acquire all right, title and
interest of Silicon under the Acom
Purchase Agreement, including
without limitation the Payment
Rights, so that it can transfer the
same to a third party. To
facilitate that transaction, at the
request of the Borrower, Silicon is
concurrently executing and
delivering to Borrower an
Assignment with respect to all of
Silicon's rights under the Lease,
in accordance with the Acom
Amendment (the "Silicon
Assignment").
-10-
SILICON VALLEY BANK SCHEDULE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Borrower agrees to hold the Silicon
Assignment in trust and only to use
the same if, substantially
concurrently therewith, Borrower
pays to Silicon the entire unpaid
Acom Balance. If Borrower has not
used the Silicon Assignment and
paid Silicon such sums within 90
days after the date hereof,
Borrower shall return the Silicon
Assignment to Silicon. If Borrower
does pay the Acom Balance to
Silicon, the Silicon Assignment
shall be effective.
