II. REVOLVING ADVANCES, PAYMENTS.
2.1 Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Lender will make advances to the Borrower (each a
"Revolving Advance") in an aggregate principal amount for all such Revolving
Advances outstanding at any time not to exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance
Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, all Advances made pursuant to the Original
Facility shall continue to the deemed Revolving Advances hereunder and the
parties hereto continue to be bound by all of their rights, obligations and
duties hereunder with respect thereto.
2.2 Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Advances. The Borrower may
notify the Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (California time) one Business Day in
advance of the requested date of the Revolving Advance of Borrower's request to
incur, on such day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. A form of request for the
initial Revolving Advance hereunder is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Should any
amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges
under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Lender, or with respect to
any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving
Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in
full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other
agreement with the Lender, and such request shall be irrevocable.
2.3 Disbursement of Revolving Advance Proceeds. All Revolving
Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place the Lender may
designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of
the Borrower to the Lender, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on the
Lender's books. During the Term, the Borrower may use the Revolving Advances by
borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by the
Borrower or deemed to have been requested by the Borrower under Section 2.2
hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent the
Lender makes such Revolving Advances, be made available to the Borrower on the
day so requested by way of credit to the Borrower's operating account with the
Lender, in immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances
deemed to have been requested by the Borrower, be disbursed to the Lender to be
applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.
2.4 Maximum Revolving Advances. The aggregate balance of
Revolving Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount.
2.5 Repayment of Revolving Advances.
(a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in
full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein
provided.
(b) The Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced
by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment may not be collectible by
the Lender on the date received. In consideration of the Lender's agreement to
conditionally credit Borrower's Account as of the Business Day on which the
Lender receives those items of payment, the Borrower agrees that, in computing
the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied
by the Lender on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after the
Business Day the Lender receives such payments via wire transfer or electronic
depository check. The Lender is not, however, required to credit Borrower's
Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory
6
to the Lender and the Lender may charge Borrower's Account for the amount of any
item of payment which is returned to the Lender unpaid.
(c) All payments of principal, interest and other
amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to
the Lender at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (California time) on
the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in funds
immediately available to the Lender. The Lender shall have the right to
effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by
charging Borrower's Account or by making Revolving Advances as provided in
Section 2.2 hereof.
(d) The Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all
other amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any
deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any
setoff or counterclaim.
2.6 Repayment of Excess Revolving Advances. The aggregate
balance of Revolving Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum
amount of Revolving Advances permitted hereunder shall be immediately due and
payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or
not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.
2.7 Unsecured Facility; Subordination. The repayment of any and
all obligations are unsecured. The Borrower shall execute, deliver, file or
record any necessary termination statement in each jurisdiction in which the
filing, registration or recordation thereof is so required or requested, under
the Uniform Commercial Code, Personal Property Security Legislation or
comparable law of any jurisdiction, to evidence the termination of Lender's
security interest created pursuant to the Original Facility. The repayment of
any and all Obligations are hereby expressly subordinated to the extent and in
the manner specified in the Subordination Agreement, and regardless of any
priority otherwise available to the Lender by law or by agreement, the lenders
pursuant to the Wachovia Facility shall hold a first priority security interest
in all collateral securing repayment to the Wachovia Facility pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement.
2.8 Statement of Account. The Lender shall maintain, in
accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrower's Account")
in the name of the Borrower in which shall be recorded the date and amount of
each Revolving Advance made by the Lender and the date and amount of each
payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by the Lender to
record the date and amount of any Revolving Advance shall not adversely affect
the Lender. Each fiscal quarter, the Lender shall send to the Borrower a
statement showing the accounting for the Revolving Advances made, payments made
or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between the Lender and
the Borrower during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct
and binding upon the Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall
constitute an account stated between the Lender and the Borrower unless the
Lender receives a written statement of the Borrower's specific exceptions
thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by the
Borrower. The records of the Lender with respect to the loan account shall be
conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amounts of Revolving Advances
and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.
2.9 Additional Payments. Any sums expended by the Lender due to
the Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this
Agreement or any Other Document are due and payable in ordinary course and added
to the Obligations.
7
2.10 Manner of Payment. All payments (including prepayments) to
be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made
without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Lender at the Payment
Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m., California time, in Dollars and
in immediately available funds.
2.11 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of
Revolving Advances to pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction, for
general corporate purposes and to provide for its working capital needs.
III. INTEREST AND FEES.
3.1 Interest. Interest on Revolving Advances shall be payable in
arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 while any of the
Obligations are outstanding. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual
principal amount of Revolving Advances outstanding during the quarter (the
"Quarterly Advances") at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. Whenever,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Prime Rate is increased or
decreased, the Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand
of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Prime Rate
during the time such change or changes remain in effect. Upon and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the
Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per
annum (the "Default Rate").
3.2 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the
actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due
and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be
payable at the Interest Rate during such extension.
3.3 Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and
other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law.
In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise
exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first
applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrower, and if the then
remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance,
the Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Borrower and the
provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.
3.4 Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable law,
treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
financial, monetary or other authority, shall:
(a) subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of
taxation of payments to the Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other
amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the
rate of tax on the overall net income the Lender by the jurisdiction in which it
maintains its principal office); or
8
(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit
extended by, any office of the Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Advances hereunder by an amount
that the Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Revolving
Advances by an amount that the Lender deems to be material, then, in any case
the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, such additional
amount as will compensate the Lender for such additional cost or such reduction,
as the case may be. The Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost
or reduced amount to the Borrower, and such certification shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
3.5 Capital Adequacy.
(a) In the event that the Lender shall have determined
that any applicable law, rule, treaty, regulation or guideline regarding capital
adequacy, reserve requirements or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with
any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to
be material, then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay upon demand to the
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such
reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, the Lender may use any
reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section
shall be available to the Lender regardless of any possible contention of
invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or
condition.
(b) A certificate of the Lender setting forth such
amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Lender with respect to
clause (a) above when delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
3.6 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments or reimbursements made by the
Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present and future Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law or by
the interpretation or administration thereof to deduct or withhold any such
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under this Agreement or
any Other Document to the Lender, then the Borrower will pay such additional
amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that every net payment
under this Agreement (including Additional Amounts) after withholding or
deduction for or on account of such Taxes will not be less than the amount the
Lender would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted . The
Borrower will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with
applicable law. The Borrower will furnish to the Lender, within 15 days after
the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified
copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower
will indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against and upon written
9
request shall reimburse the Lender for the amount of (i) any Taxes levied or
imposed and paid by the Lender as a result of payments in respect of any
Revolving Advances (including any such Taxes imposed with respect to such
reimbursement) and (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising from or with respect to such Taxes described above.
(b) In the event that, after the date hereof, (i) any
changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the
interpretation or application thereof, (ii) any new law, regulation, treaty or
directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (iii)
compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any Governmental Body does or shall subject the Lender to
any tax of any kind whatsoever or causes the withdrawal or termination of a
previously granted tax exemption with respect to this Agreement, the Other
Documents or any Revolving Advances made, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to the Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder (except for net income taxes or capital taxes, or franchise taxes
imposed in lieu of net income taxes or capital taxes, or changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income or capital of the Lender) and the result of any of
the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or continuing any
Revolving Advances hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to
the Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the
Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount
receivable, as determined by the Lender with respect to this Agreement or the
Other Documents. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event
by reason of which the Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by the
Lender to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes.
(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other
provision of this Agreement or the Other Documents, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the
Termination Date.

each of its officers, directors, Affiliates, employees and agents, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

Governmental Body or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any
transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this
Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not the Lender is a party thereto,
except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the willful
misconduct of the party being indemnified.
