Bank to a Borrower hereunder. Borrowers shall also pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance
with the terms hereof.
(a) Revolving
Advances.
(i) Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may
request Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the lesser of
(i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, minus, in each case, the
aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Cash
Management Services, and the FX Amount. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this
Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the
Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this
Section 2.1(a) shall be immediately due and payable. Borrowers
may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.
6
(ii) Whenever
a Borrower desires an Advance, such Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile
transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the
Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification
shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form
of Exhibit B
hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement,
based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a
Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such
Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain
unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given
by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a
designee thereof, and Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any
damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank
will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(a) to a
Borrower’s deposit account.
(b) Letters of
Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Bank agrees to issue letters
of credit for the account of a Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and
collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) in an aggregate outstanding face amount
not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base minus, in each case, the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances at any time, provided that the
aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed
$1,000,000 less any amounts outstanding under the Cash Management Sublimit and
the Foreign Exchange Sublimit. All Letters of Credit shall be, in
form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s form of standard application and
letter of credit agreement (the “Application”), which Borrowers
hereby agree to execute, including Bank’s standard fee. On any drawn
but unreimbursed Letter of Credit, the unreimbursed amount shall be deemed an
Advance under Section 2.1(a). Prior to the Revolving Maturity Date,
Borrowers shall secure in cash all obligations under any outstanding Letters of
Credit on terms acceptable to Bank. The obligation of a Borrower to
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, the Application, and such Letters of Credit,
under all circumstances whatsoever. Borrowers shall indemnify,
defend, protect, and hold Bank harmless from any loss, cost, expense or
liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising
out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit, except for expenses caused
by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) Cash Management
Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the availability under the Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base,
each Borrower may request cash management services which may include merchant
services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing
services identified in various cash management services agreements related to
such services (the “Cash Management Services”) by delivering to Bank such
applications on Bank’s standard forms as requested by Bank; provided, however,
that the total amount of the Cash Management Services shall not exceed
$1,000,000 less any amounts outstanding under the Letter of Credit Sublimit and
the Foreign Exchange Sublimit, and that availability under the Revolving Line
shall be reduced by the Cash Management Sublimit. In addition, Bank
may, in its sole discretion, charge as Advances any amounts that become due or
owing to Bank in connection with the Cash Management Services. If at
any time the Revolving Facility is terminated or otherwise ceases to exist,
Borrowers shall immediately secure to Bank’s satisfaction its obligations with
respect to any Cash Management Services, and, effective as of such date, the
balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates of deposit
issued by Bank in such Borrower’s name (and any interest paid thereon or
proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the maturity or liquidation
of such certificates), shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent
of the then outstanding Cash Management Services. Borrowers authorize
Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon
or any requests by a Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer
any part of such balances for so long as the Cash Management Services
continue.
(d) Foreign Exchange
Sublimit. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and any other agreement that a Borrower may enter into with the Bank
in connection with foreign exchange transactions (“FX Contracts”) and subject to
the availability under the Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, a Borrower may
request Bank to enter into FX Contracts with such Borrower due not later than
the Revolving Maturity Date unless cash secured on terms satisfactory to
Bank. Borrowers shall pay any standard issuance and other fees that
Bank notifies Borrowers will be charged for issuing and processing FX Contracts
for Borrowers. The FX Amount shall at all times be equal to or less
than $1,000,000 minus any amounts outstanding under the Letter of Credit
Sublimit and the Cash Management Sublimit. The “FX Amount” shall
equal the amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate amount, in United
States Dollars, of FX Contracts between Borrowers and Bank remaining outstanding
as of any date of determination by (ii) the applicable Foreign Exchange Reserve
Percentage as of such date. The “Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage”
shall be a percentage as determined by Bank, in its sole discretion from time to
time. If at any time the Revolving Facility is terminated or
otherwise ceases to exist, Borrowers shall immediately secure in cash all
obligations under the Foreign Exchange Sublimit on terms acceptable to
Bank.
7
2.2 Overadvances. If
the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances plus any amounts
outstanding under the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Cash Management Sublimit
and the Foreign Exchange Sublimit exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or
the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Bank, in
cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and
Calculations.
(a) Interest
Rates.
(i) Advances. Except as
set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the
outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the
Prime Rate.
(b) Late Fee; Default
Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after
the date such payment is due, Borrowers shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the
lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or
(ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable
law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to
five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior
to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Interest
hereunder shall be due and payable on the tenth calendar day of each month
during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such
interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrowers’
deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts
shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable
hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue
interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be
free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges,
to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable
hereunder, regardless of source of payment. All payments shall be
made via auto debit from a Borrower’s account at Bank.
(d) Computation. In the
event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate
of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day
the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime
Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting
Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank
shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such
deposit account or Obligation as a Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless
and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time
shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank
under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of
acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead
be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case
may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension.
2.5 Fees. Borrowers
shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. On
the Closing Date, a Facility Fee equal to $10,000, which shall be nonrefundable;
and
8
(b) Bank Expenses. On
the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and, after the Closing Date, all Bank
Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they
are incurred by Bank.
2.6 Term. This
Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to
Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any
Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit
Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank
shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under
this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the

Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any

4. CREATION OF SECURITY
INTEREST.
4.1 Grant of Security
Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a
continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or
arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all
Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrowers of each of
the covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set
forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first
priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will
constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired
after the date hereof.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation
Required. Borrowers shall from time to time execute and
deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all
financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in
form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank’s
security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the
transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrowers from
time to time may deposit with Bank specific time deposit accounts to secure
specific Obligations. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such
balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by
a Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such
balances for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.
4.3 Right to
Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or
agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time
during a Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books
and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in
order to verify a Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or
any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND

ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.
5.2 Due Authorization; No
Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan
Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not
in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in
Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an
event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by
which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any
material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
5.3 No Prior
Encumbrances. Borrower has good and marketable title to its
property, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the
rights of any third party. Except as set forth in the Schedule,
Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to
more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including
without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or
disposition of any product or service. Except as set forth in the
Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts

aware thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be
cured within the ten day period or cannot after diligent attempts by such

cured within a reasonable time, then such Borrower shall have an additional
reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed 30 days) to attempt to

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and
Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and
without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized
by each Borrower:
(a) Declare
all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable without any action by
Bank);
(b) Cease
advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of a Borrower under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between a Borrower and
Bank;
(c) Settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon
terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers
advisable;
(d) Make
such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees
to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral
available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Borrower authorizes
Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain
possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses
incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of a Borrower’s
owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into
possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to
exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or
otherwise;
16
(e) Set
off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of a
Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the
credit or the account of a Borrower held by Bank;
(f) Ship,
reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise
for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the
Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, any
Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, any
Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
Bank’s benefit;
(g) Dispose
of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or
on terms, in such manner and at such places (including a Borrower’s premises) as
Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the
Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(h) Bank
may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(i) Any
deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above
will be paid immediately by Borrowers.
9.2 Power of
Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s
true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of
Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts;
(b) endorse a Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or
security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign a Borrower’s name on any
invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account
debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and
notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and
adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to a Borrower’s policies of
insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts
directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines
to be reasonable; and (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing
or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the
Collateral. The appointment of Bank as a Borrower’s attorney in fact,
and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is
terminated.
9.3 Accounts
Collection. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to a Borrower of Bank’s security
interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each
Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Bank, receive in
trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to
Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If a
Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due
to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to such
Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
(b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or
(c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in
Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such
policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by
Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and
shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall
be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not
constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
17
9.5 Bank’s Liability for
Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking
practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible
for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or
damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause;
(c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of
any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person
whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral
shall be borne by Borrowers.
9.6 Remedies
Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not
inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in
equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on a Borrower’s part
shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by
Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of
Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand;
Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which a Borrower may in any way be
liable.

WAIVER.
This
Agreement and all Loan Documents unless otherwise specified therein shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
California, without regard to principles of conflicts of
law. Borrowers and Bank hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa Xxxxx, State of
California. BORROWERS AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN,

AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED
THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES
ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
18
If the

controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled by
judicial reference pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq.
before a referee sitting without a jury, such referee to be mutually acceptable
to the parties or, if no agreement is reached, by a referee appointed by the
Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court for Santa Xxxxx
County. This Section shall not restrict a party from exercising
remedies under the Code or from exercising pre-judgment remedies under
applicable law.
12. GENERAL
PROVISIONS.
12.1 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties;
provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be
assigned by a Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may
be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the
right without the consent of or notice to Borrowers to sell, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in,
Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.
12.2 Indemnification. Each
Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers,
employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands,
claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or
Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or
in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between
Bank and Borrowers whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for losses caused by
Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Time of
Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all
obligations set forth in this Agreement.
12.4 Severability of
Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.5 Amendments in Writing,
Integration. Neither this Agreement nor the Loan Documents can
be amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements,
understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan
Documents.
12.6 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement.
12.7 Survival. All
covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank
has any obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower. The
obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses,
damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall
survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to
actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
12.8 Confidentiality. In
handling any confidential information Bank and all employees and agents of Bank,
including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care
that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same
types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby
received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such
information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in
connection with their present or prospective business relations with a Borrower,
(ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit
Extensions, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality
agreement in favor of such Borrower and have delivered a copy to such Borrower,
(iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial
order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the
examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may
determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies
hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include
information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the
knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the
public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is
disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge
that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such
information.
19
12.9 Patriot Act. To
help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person who opens an
account. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: when you open an
account, we will ask your name, address, date of birth, and other information
that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your
driver’s license or other identifying documents.
13. CO-BORROWER
PROVISIONS.
13.1 Primary
Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and original
obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future
changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or
irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the
execution or delivery of any agreement between Bank and any
Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future
Obligations as fully as if all of all Credit Extensions were advanced to such
Borrower. Bank may rely on any certificate or representation made by
any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including
without limitation Revolving Advance Request, Borrowing Base Certificates and
Compliance Certificates.
13.2 Enforcement of
Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the
Obligations and Bank may proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce
the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other
Borrowers.
13.3 Borrowers as
Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent
with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates
or demands for and on behalf of both Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for
receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Bank
on behalf of each Borrower for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any
consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not
inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of
Borrower.
13.4 Subrogation and Similar
Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it
may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating
the Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek
contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other
Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable
for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to
the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all
rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security
for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect
to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or
otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement
or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 14.4 shall be null and
void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this
Section 14.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such
payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured.
13.5 Waivers of
Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each
Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation
or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice
of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to
accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the
financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might
increase the Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and
notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands
to which the Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower
waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason
of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other
Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by
any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or
diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank
from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security
instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of
any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any
Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act
or omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower’s risks
hereunder.
20
13.6 Subrogation
Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on
impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other
Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under
California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850,
2899, and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d
and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended,
and under any other similar statutes now and hereafter in effect.
13.7 Right to Settle,
Release.
(a) The
liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement,
understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be
guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release
or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Bank may
now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or
property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b) Without
affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of
payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a
Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents
relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender
or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether
pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or
extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce,
or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who
is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the
Obligations.
13.8 Subordination. All
indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is
subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower holding the indebtedness shall
take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to effect, to enforce and to
give notice of such subordination.
