LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date
between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and WEBSIDESTORY, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower
shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.
Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP
would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document,
and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Borrower and Bank shall negotiate in good faith to
amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in
GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed
in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Borrower shall provide to Bank
financial statements or other documents setting forth a reconciliation between the calculations of
such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All
other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning
provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding
principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due
in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall
make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid in
whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than as provided in Section 3.6(c))
and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and
conditions precedent herein.
(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line
Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all outstanding Advances, the accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement shall be immediately due
and payable; provided, however, that Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any
time without premium or penalty (other than as provided in Section 3.6(c)) upon written notice to
Bank and repayment in full of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances, the accrued but
unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement that are then due
and payable.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.
(a) As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s
account. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise
available for Advances under the Revolving Line. The aggregate amount available to be used for the
issuance of Letters of Credit may not exceed the Availability Amount. If, on the Revolving Line
Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall
provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters
of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as
estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment but taking into consideration any investment
income expected to be earned on such cash collateral), to secure all of the Obligations relating to
said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in
its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application
and Letter of Credit Agreement (the
1
“Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in
connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further 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.
(b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters
of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit
Application.
(c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If
a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an
Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection
therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of
exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the
country issuing such Foreign Currency.
(d) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter
of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit
Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of
such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from
time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the
Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such
Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter into
foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank
a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the
“Settlement Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX
Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each
outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Availability Amount (the
“FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten
(10) times the amount of the FX Reserve.
2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use up to the Availability Amount for
Bank’s cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll,
business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management
services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”). Any amounts used by Borrower
for Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line, will accrue
interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances, and will reduce the amount otherwise
available for Credit Extensions thereunder.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the Credit Extensions under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3
and 2.1.4 exceed the Revolving Line, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.
2.2.1 General Provisions Relating to the Advances.
Each Advance shall, at Borrower’s option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be
either in the form of a Prime Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance; provided that in no event shall
Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR Advances having more than four (4) different Interest Periods.
Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the Advances at the rates and in the manner set forth in
Section 2.3(b).
2.3 Payment of Interest on the Advances.
(a) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Advances and all fees payable hereunder
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the
period during which such
2
interest accrues. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of such
Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any
Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing
interest on such Advance.
(b) Advances. Each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate minus the Prime Rate Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the
LIBOR Rate Margin, as the case may be. On and after the expiration of any Interest Period
applicable to any LIBOR Advance outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or
acceleration of the Obligations, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR Advance shall, during the
continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Prime Rate plus three percentage points (300 basis points). Pursuant to the terms hereof,
interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall
also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Advance pursuant to this Agreement for the
portion of any Advance so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All
accrued but unpaid interest on the Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity
Date.
(c) Default Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(b), after an Event
of Default, Obligations shall bear interest three percentage points (300 basis points) above the
rate effective immediately before the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance
of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.3(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely
payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit
any rights or remedies of Bank.
(d) Prime Rate Advances. Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Advances
based on changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to
the extent of such change. Bank shall use its best efforts to give Borrower prompt notice of any
such change in the Prime Rate; provided, however, that any failure by Bank to provide Borrower with
notice hereunder shall not affect Bank’s right to make changes in the interest rate of the Prime
Rate Advances based on changes in the Prime Rate.
(e) LIBOR Advances. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance shall be
determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate
shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest
calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Advance.
(f) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including
the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments when due, or any other amounts
Borrower owes Bank, when due. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower after it debits Borrower’s
accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
2.4 Fees and Bank Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Bank:
(a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000,
on the Effective Date and on each anniversary thereof occurring prior to the Revolving Line
Maturity Date; and
(b) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses which attorneys’ fees reimbursable by Borrower for the documentation and reasonable
negotiation of this Agreement will not exceed $12,500 as of the Effective Date, plus expenses, for
documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date,
when due.
3 CONDITIONS OF LOANS
3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Advance. Bank’s obligation to make the initial Advance is
subject to the condition precedent that Borrower shall consent to or have delivered, in form and
substance

reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation:
(a) duly executed original signatures to the Loan Documents to which it is a party;

of the outstanding principal under the Existing Notes will be outstanding after the Effective Date;
(e) certified copies, dated as of a recent date, of financing statement searches, as Bank

in connection with the initial Advance, will be terminated or released;
(f) the Perfection Certificate executed by Borrower;

(k) payment of the fees and Bank Expenses then due as specified in Section 2.4 hereof.
3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. Bank’s obligations to make each Credit

(a) for Advances under the Revolving Line, timely receipt of a Notice of Borrowing; and
(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 shall be true in all material respects on
the date of the Notice of Borrowing, and on the effective date of each Credit Extension; provided,
however, that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and
warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and provided,
further that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be
true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date, and no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is
Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in
Section 5 remain true in all material respects; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier
shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or
modified by materiality in the text thereof; and provided, further that those representations and
warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all
material respects as of such date.
4
3.3 Covenant to Deliver.
Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank each item required to be delivered to Bank under this
Agreement as a condition to any Credit Extension. Borrower expressly agrees that the extension of
a Credit Extension prior to the receipt by Bank of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by
Bank of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and any such extension in the absence of a
required item shall be in Bank’s sole discretion.
3.4 Procedures for Borrowing.
(a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an
Advance set forth in this Agreement, each Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written
notice delivered to Bank in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, each executed by a Responsible
Officer of Borrower or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to
meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person
whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss
Bank suffers due to such reliance, except in the case of Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such Notice of Borrowing
must be received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. Pacific time, (i) at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Advances, and (ii) at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Prime Rate Advances, specifying:
(i) the requested Funding Date;
(ii) whether the Advance is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances or Prime Rate Advances; and
(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Advances included in
such notice; provided that if the Notice of Borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the
Interest Period for any Advance comprised of LIBOR Advances, such Interest Period shall be one (1)
month.
(b) The proceeds of all such Advances will then be made available to Borrower on the Funding
Date by Bank by transfer to the Designated Deposit Account and, subsequently, by wire transfer to
such other account as Borrower may instruct in the Notice of Borrowing. No Advances shall be
deemed made to Borrower, and no interest shall accrue on any such Advance, until the related funds
have been deposited in the Designated Deposit Account.
3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.
(a) So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of
termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary
procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Advances,
Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:
(i) elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Advances into LIBOR Advances;
(ii) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such
Interest Payment Date; or
(iii) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such
Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Advances.
(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10
to be received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. Pacific time at least (i) three (3) Business Days in
advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Advances are to be converted into or
continued as LIBOR Advances;
5
and (ii) one (1) Business Day in advance of the Conversion Date, if any Advances are to be
converted into Prime Rate Advances, in each case specifying the:
(i) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;
(ii) aggregate amount of the Advances to be converted or continued;
(iii) nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(iv) duration of the requested Interest Period.
(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Advances, Borrower
shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Advances,
Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate Advances.
(d) Any LIBOR Advances shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event
that (i) an Event of Default or Default shall exist, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Prime Rate Advances which have been previously converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate
principal amount of existing LIBOR Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an
Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Revolving Line. Borrower
agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit
Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank
for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a
result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to
purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR
market to fund any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank
had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Advances.
3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Advances.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following
provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances as to the matters covered:
(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each
Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest
error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that
shall apply to the LIBOR Advances for which an interest rate is then being determined for the
applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Borrower.
(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall
have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, that by reason
of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Advance on the basis provided for in the
definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as, or converted
to, LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
given by Borrower with respect to Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be
deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.
(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall
compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method
of computing
6
such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any
interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Advances and
any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment
of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due
to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to impracticability or illegality under Sections
3.7(d) and 3.7(e)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance does not
occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the
case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Advances occurs
on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Advance.
(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances. Calculation of all amounts
payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4 shall be made as though Bank had
actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Advances through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit
bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal
to the amount of such LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest
Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit
and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts
payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4.
(e) LIBOR Advances After Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or
continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in
effect for such Advance and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that
has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert
or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.
3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances.
(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank
receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Advance prior to the last day of the
Interest Period for such Advance, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at
Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest
which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day
of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by
placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore
currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period
starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period
at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Bank’s determination as to
such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may
determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of
any Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in
respect of any Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the
overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank
(including any Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of
credit or liabilities).
7
Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle
Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) as promptly as practicable after it obtains
knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a
statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this
Section 3.7(b). Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7(b) of the
effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Advances, of
making or maintaining Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the
additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule,
regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its
applicable lending office) with any directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank
(a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its
Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from
time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank
claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts
to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount
of LIBOR Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank
in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to
Bank of lending the LIBOR Advances, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon
the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Advances shall terminate; provided,
however, Advances shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest
rate applicable to LIBOR Advances.
(e) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances,
or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in
full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including,
without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section
3.7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above
relates to a LIBOR Advance then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.6(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by
giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the
date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or to have
outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances by giving notice (by
facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which
Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.
4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and
performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to
Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all
proceeds and products thereof. Subject to Section 6.6(a), Borrower represents, warrants, and
covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a
first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that
may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a
commercial tort claim that could reasonably be expected to result in a recovery of damages in
excess of $500,000 for one individual claim or $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such claims.
Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof
and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest
8
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing
to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or cash collateralized letters of credit)
are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as
Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall
terminate automatically and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. Upon such termination
Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver such documents as Borrower may
reasonably request to evidence the release of Bank’s Lien in the Collateral.
4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file
financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or
protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the
Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank
under the Code.
5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in
good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and
licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In
connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by
Borrower entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a)
Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature
page hereof, except to the extent that Borrower has given Bank not less than 30 days’ prior written
notice of any change to Borrower’s exact legal name; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type
and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection
Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately
states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s
place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing
address (if different than its chief executive office), except to the extent that Borrower has
given Bank not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of any change to the same; (e) Borrower (and
each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of
formation, organizational type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f)
all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete as of the Effective Date. If Borrower is not now a
Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such
occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number.
The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational
documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material
Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any
its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any
action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any
Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are
in full force and effect or are being obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b)) or (v) subject to the
repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Existing Notes,
constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower
is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the
default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each
item of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx hereunder, free and clear of any and
all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts
with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any,
9
described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which
Borrower has given Bank notice and, subject to Section 6.6(a), Borrower has taken such actions as
are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein.
The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except
as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date
hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then
Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must execute and deliver a
bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion.
5.3 Intentionally Omitted.
5.4 Litigation. Except for actions or proceedings disclosed in Borrower’s public reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Effective Date, there are no actions
or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by
or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business of Borrower and the Guarantors, taken as a whole.
5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for
Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. To
the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s
consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted
to Bank.
5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with
unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay
its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its
important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal
Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is
defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any
laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business of Borrower and the Guarantors, taken as a whole. None of
Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any
Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing,
storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all
declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are
necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except where the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of
Borrower and the Guarantors, taken as a whole.
5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other
equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required
tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes,
assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower, except for up to $100,000 in the
aggregate which Borrower may owe from time to time (such amount, the “Tax Threshold”), and except
for taxes contested in accordance with the next sentence. Borrower may defer payment of any
contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its 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, (c) posts bonds
or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested
taxes from obtaining a
10
Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”.
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 in excess of the Tax
Threshold. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and
deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from
participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted 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.
5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as
working capital, to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Existing Notes,
and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or
agricultural purposes.
5.11 Designation of Indebtedness under this Agreement as Senior Indebtedness.
All principal of, interest (including all interest accruing after the commencement of any
bankruptcy or similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowable as
a claim in any such proceeding), and all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts accrued or due
under this Agreement shall constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under the terms of any
indenture to which Borrower is a party.
5.12 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in
any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty,
or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written
statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not
misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts have been provided and
prepared by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions and are not viewed as
facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and
forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

business or operations of Borrower or any Secured Guarantor. Borrower shall comply, and have each

6.5 Insurance. Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard

additional loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank, and all liability policies shall show, or
have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss payable and
additional insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall endeavor to give Bank at

take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.

within the fifteen (15) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within
such fifteen (15) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then
Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty-five (35) days)
to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the

things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in subsection 8.2(a) above;

observe any other condition or covenant, or any other event shall occur or condition exist under
any agreement or instrument relating to any Material Indebtedness, and such failure continues after
the applicable grace or notice period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating

mandatory repurchase of any Material Indebtedness; provided that, this provision shall not
apply to Indebtedness due under the Existing Notes;
8.7 Judgments. One or more judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an

attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b)
sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account
Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account
Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all
claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge,
encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the
Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints
Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect
or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an
Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under
no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as
Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to
provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5
or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to
pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such
payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing
interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make
reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it
is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to
make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order
or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower
to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application
is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances,
payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the
Collateral, or otherwise, to 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. If Bank, 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, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of
either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the
reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.
18
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking
practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of
Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any
loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act
or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss,
damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict
performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not
waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance
herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is
only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and
remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is
not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s
delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by
Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in
Santa Xxxxx County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other
jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce
a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in
advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby
waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or
forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is
deemed appropriate by such
19
court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons,
complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such
summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to
Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be
deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days
after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO
A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER
CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH
PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the
parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising
at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties
(or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior
Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to
comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties hereby
submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to
and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1,
inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief,
including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and
permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public
and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the
course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been
appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to
the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the
private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules
of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which
shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery
applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all
discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court
judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to
decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a
statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing
in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies,
foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also
determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this
paragraph.
