THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2003, is by and between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and facsimile number is (000) 000-0000 and PALMSOURCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and facsimile number is (000) 000-0000 and provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower, and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | DEFINITIONS; ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS |
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in Section 13 of this Agreement and in Appendix A hereto. Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules thereto. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
2. | LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT |
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Advances and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Advances.
2.1.1 Advances.
(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus (B) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) minus (C) the FX Reserve, and minus (D) all amounts for services utilized for Cash Management Services or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus (B) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) minus (C) the FX Reserve, and minus (D) all amounts for services utilized for Cash Management Services. Amounts borrowed hereunder that remain available for borrowing under this Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.4.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2 of Appendix A. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank a Loan Payment/Advance Request Form in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Payment/Advance Form”). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account maintained with Bank, account number 0000000000 (the “Designated Deposit Account”). Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer 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 reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line shall terminate on the Maturity Date, and all Advances are immediately due and payable on the Maturity Date.
1
(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Revolving Line will be suspended if, (i) Bank determines, based upon information available to it and in its reasonable judgment, that there is a reasonable likelihood that Borrower will fail to comply with any financial covenant in Section 6.7 during the present or any succeeding financial reporting period, (ii) there is a material impairment in the perfection or priority of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral or in the value of such Collateral which is not covered by adequate insurance or (iii) in Bank’s reasonable discretion, there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.
2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.
(a) Bank will issue or have issued letters of credit for Borrower’s account (each, a “Letter of Credit”) not exceeding the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (A) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) the FX Reserve, and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances, (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the sum of (A) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) the FX Reserve, and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances, or (iii) $10,000,000. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Maturity Date, but Borrower’s reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Maturity Date if such Maturity Date is not extended by Bank or if an Event of Default occurs and continues. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.
(b) Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank Bank’s customary fees in connection with the opening of a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit Fees”). The Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid upon the opening of each Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary thereof. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Bank, for its own account, any and all additional issuance, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to the extent and as and when required by the provisions of any application for Letters of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be part of the Obligations.
(c) If any Letter of Credit is drawn upon, such amount shall constitute an Advance but shall be immediately due and payable. If such amount is not paid immediately, then the full amount thereof shall accrue interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(a).
2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.
If there is availability under the lesser of (a) the Committed Revolving Line and (b) the Borrowing Base, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one Business Day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the amount available under the Committed Revolving Line which is a maximum of the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (A) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) the amount of all outstanding Letters
2
of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (without duplication for any drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the sum of (A) all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, (B) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (without duplication for any drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (iii) $10,000,000 (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. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.
2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.
Borrower may use up to the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (A) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (B) the FX Reserve, and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (without duplication for any drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the sum of (A) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (B) the FX Reserve, and (C) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (without duplication for any drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and (iii) $10,000,000 (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s 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”). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.
2.2 Overadvances.
If, at any time, Borrower’s Obligations hereunder exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (a) the Committed Revolving Line or (b) the Borrowing Base (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay Bank the excess; provided, that if such Overadvance is the result of (i) a reduction by Bank in the advance percentage of the Borrowing Base, (ii) a change by Bank in eligibility standards for Accounts, or (iii) Bank’s determination in accordance with item (l) of the definition of “Eligible Accounts” that any Account should not be included in the Borrowing Base for any reason other than an Insolvency Proceeding to which the account debtor is a party, Borrower shall pay such excess within twenty-one (21) days of the Overadvance.
2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.
2.3.1 Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at the Interest Rate (as defined in Appendix A hereto). Borrower may elect to borrow Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, all as more particularly set forth in Appendix A hereto. After an Event of Default has occurred, Obligations shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of
3
Default. The Interest Rate applicable to Prime Rate Loans increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.3.2 Payments. Interest due on the Advances is payable on the first day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific Time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.
2.4 Payments and Prepayments.
2.4.1 Revolving Loan Repayment. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may repay the Obligations at any time, without reduction of the Committed Revolving Line, by delivering to Bank a Payment/Advance Form. Repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Appendix A.
2.4.2 Optional Prepayment and Termination. Borrower may, without penalty, at any time or from time to time, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank delivered to Bank not later than 12:00 noon Pacific time at least three (3) Business Days before such prepayment and termination (a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay the aggregate amount of the Advances and request termination of the Agreement. Such Prepayment Notice shall specify the date such prepayment is to be made (which date shall be the date of termination of this Agreement). If a Prepayment Notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date. Upon Bank’s receipt of a Prepayment Notice, together with payment in full of the Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate.
2.5 Fees. Borrower will pay:
(a) Loan Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable loan fee in the amount of 0.50% of the Committed Revolving Line ($75,000), of which $37,500 has already been received by Bank, on or before the Closing Date (the “Commitment Fee”).
(b) Utilization Fee. A fee in the amount of 0.50% of the Committed Revolving Line ($75,000) if any Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a) of this Agreement are outstanding for more than three (3) Business Days during a calendar quarter (the “Utilization Fee”). Such Utilization Fee shall be payable only one-time even if Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a) of this Agreement are outstanding for more than three (3) Business Days during two (2) or more calendar quarters.
(c) Unused Commitment Fee. On the first day of each month, a fee equal to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the monthly average of the unused Committed Revolving Line.
4
(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement upon demand.

4. | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.
4.2 Authorization to File; Delivery of Additional Documentation. Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank’s security interest in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
5. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Borrower represents and warrants as follows: |
5.1 Due Organization; Organizational Structure; Authorization. Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state 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 cause a Material Adverse Change.
Borrower has not changed its state of formation or organizational structure or type or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to the Collateral and its owned Intellectual Property, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All of Borrower’s deposit accounts are described on the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any
6
third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such collateral for the benefit of Bank. No Responsible Officer of Borrower has notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account. Except for licensed Intellectual Property (including Intellectual Property owned by Palm Trademark Holding Company, LLC and licensed to Borrower), Borrower is the sole owner of its Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive and exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each issued Patent owned by Borrower is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property owned by Borrower has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property owned by Borrower violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Borrower shall not change the location of any Collateral without the Bank’s prior written consent.
5.3 Litigation. Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank that would constitute a Material Adverse Change.
5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the 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.
5.6 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. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s 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 Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has 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 its business as
7
currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.7 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements 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 provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions 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 and forecasted results).
6. | AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS |
Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:
6.1 Designated Senior Indebtedness. Borrower shall designate the Loan Documents as “Designated Senior Indebtedness” (as that term is defined in the Texas Instruments Note), and the Loan Documents shall constitute Designated Senior Indebtedness for purposes of the Texas Instruments Note.
Borrower shall designate the Loan Documents as “Designated Senior Indebtedness”, or such similar term, in any future convertible note entered into by Borrower after the date hereof, if such convertible note contains such term or similar term.
6.2 Government Compliance. Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
6.3 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.
(a) Borrower will deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but no later than five (5) days after filing with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Borrower’s 10K and 10Q reports, if Borrower is a reporting company; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than thirty (30) days after the last day of each month and each quarter, a company prepared consolidated balance sheet and income statement covering Borrower’s consolidated operations during the period certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form acceptable to Bank and prepared consistently with prior interim period statements; (iii) as soon as available, but no later than ninety (90) days after the last day of Borrower’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an unqualified
8
opinion on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (iv) as soon as available, but no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year, annual financial projections in form and substance commensurate with those provided to Borrower’s board of directors or utilized by Borrower’s executive management, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank; (v) a prompt report of (A) any legal actions pending or threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $500,000 or more and (B) any event that has occurred or is expected to occur that is likely to lead to a material breach of any Material License; and (vi) budgets, sales projections, operating plans or other financial information Bank reasonably requests.
(b) Borrower will also deliver to Bank a Compliance Certificate with delivery of the balance sheets and income statements required by Section 6.3(a)(ii) above.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month and concurrently with the delivery of a Payment/Advance Form when obtaining an Advance, Borrower will deliver to Bank a Borrowing Base Certificate, with aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable, deferred revenue schedule and other reports reasonably satisfactory to Bank to support Advances against Eligible Scheduled Contract Accounts and Eligible Estimated Contract Accounts.
(d) Borrower will allow Bank to audit Borrower’s Collateral at Borrower’s expense (not to exceed $5,000 per audit so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred), and such audit will be satisfactory to Bank. Such audits will be conducted no more often than once in every six-month period unless an Event of Default shall have occurred.
6.4 Taxes. Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which Borrower is contesting in good faith, with adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and will deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment.
6.5 Insurance. Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for Borrower’s industry, and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies will be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank in Bank’s reasonable discretion. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Bank at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy will, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
13
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property 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, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit, subject to the terms of any such licenses and agreements by which Borrower is bound; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney 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) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s 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 Advances terminates.
9.3 Accounts Collection. When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable 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.
14
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements 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 is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
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.

LIBOR SUPPLEMENT
1. Definitions. |
“Business Day” means a day of the year (a) that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of California or the City of London are authorized or required to close and (b) on which dealings are carried on in the interbank market in which Bank customarily participates.
“Interest Period” means for each LIBOR Rate Loan, a period of approximately one, two or three months as the Borrower may elect, provided that the last day of an Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be determined in accordance with the practices of the LIBOR interbank market as from time to time in effect, provided, further, in all cases such period shall expire not later than the applicable Maturity Date.
“Interest Rate” shall mean as to: (a) Prime Rate Loans, (i) a rate equal to the Prime Rate if Advances are outstanding less than three (3) Business Days per quarter, or (ii) a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1.75% per annum if Advances are outstanding three (3) Business Days or more in any quarter, but in no event less than 4.25%; and (b) LIBOR Rate Loans, a rate of 4.75% per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate (based on the LIBOR Rate applicable for the Interest Period selected by the Borrower).
“LIBOR Base Rate” means, for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan, the rate of interest per annum determined by Bank to be the per annum rate of interest as which deposits in United States Dollars are offered to Bank in the London interbank market in which Bank customarily participates at 11:00 a.m. (local time in such interbank market) two (2) Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period for a period approximately equal to such Interest Period and in an amount approximately equal to the amount of such Loan.
“LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBOR Base Rate for such Interest Period divided by (b) 1 minus the Reserve Requirement for such Interest Period.
“LIBOR Rate Loans” means any Advances made or a portion thereof on which interest is payable based on the LIBOR Rate in accordance with the terms hereof.
“Prime Rate” means the variable rate of interest per annum, most recently announced by Bank as its “prime rate,” whether or not such announced rate is the lowest rate available from Bank, and, in any event, shall not be less than four and one-quarter percent (4.25%) per annum. The interest rate applicable to the Prime Rate Loans shall change on each date there is a change in the Prime Rate.
“Prime Rate Loans” means any Advances made or a portion thereof on which interest is payable based on the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms hereof.
1
“Regulatory Change” means, with respect to Bank, any change on or after the date of this Loan Agreement in United States federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, including Regulation D, or the adoption or making on or after such date of any interpretations, directives or requests applying to a class of lenders including Bank of or under any United States federal or state, or any foreign, laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof.
“Reserve Requirement” means, for any Interest Period, the average maximum rate at which reserves (including any marginal, supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained during such Interest Period under Regulation D against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is used in Regulation D) by member banks of the Federal Reserve System. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by Bank by reason of any Regulatory Change against (a) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBOR Rate is to be determined as provided in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” or (b) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include Loans.
2. Requests for Loans. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made upon the irrevocable written request of Borrower received by Bank not later than 11 :00 a.m. (Santa Clara, California time) on the Business Day three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Loan is to be made. Each such notice shall specify the date such Loan is to be made, which day shall be a Business Day; the amount of such Loan, the Interest Period for such Loan, and comply with such other requirements as Bank determines are reasonable or desirable in connection therewith.
Each written request for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in the form of a LIBOR Rate Loan Borrowing Certificate as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which shall be duly executed by the Borrower.
Each Prime Rate Loan shall be made upon the irrevocable written request of Borrower received by Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. (Santa Clara, California time) on the Business Day one (1) Business day prior to the date such Loan is to be made.

3. Conversion/Continuation of Loans. |
(a) | Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that Prime Rate Loans be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or that any existing LIBOR Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Loans which will constitute LIBOR Rate Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans. Each written request for a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be substantially in the form of a LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit B to this Supplement which shall be duly executed by the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Bank’s receipt of |
2
such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or such LIBOR Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be provided that: |
(i) | no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists; |
(ii) | no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Supplement or of the Loan Agreement; |
(iii) | Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Rate Loans; |
(iv) | the amount of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000; and |
(v) | Bank shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate is available to Bank which can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such LIBOR Rate Loan. |
Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. 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 Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Loans.
(b) | Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Bank has received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall, at Bank’s option, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default, or event which with the notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist, (ii) this Supplement or the Loan Agreement shall terminate, or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans which have previously been converted to LIBOR Rate Loans, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceeds the Committed Revolving Line. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge Borrower’s loan account) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing. |
3
(c) | On all Loans, Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Bank monthly in arrears not later than the first (1st) day of each calendar month at the applicable Interest Rate. |
4. | Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Loans, Etc. |
(a) | If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, 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 or the offshore currency interbank 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 to 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 Loans 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 Supplement in respect of any Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or |
(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 Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate”); or |
(iii) | imposes any other condition affecting this Supplement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). |
Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Loan Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this section 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 4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 4 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to
4
make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) | Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the request of Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a Loan on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder. |
(d) | 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 respect or 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 its 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 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
(e) | If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Loan, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice Banks obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Loans 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 4(a) of this Supplement). |
